Same, never trust any of his videos now so I just don't bother watching.

Fuck yeaaaaah Garbage Time!

Brad's definitely the kind of extrovert host who takes other interesting professionals and lifts the energy up to very entertaining affect, I used to watch everything BA put out, they were a great channel.

Really well written, you did a great job of conveying the inertia you and your team must have felt without making the reader feel bogged down, I really enjoyed it.

Pretty positively. Our politics have trended generally to the right as have most western countries (especially those with large Murdoch media owned presences) but the 2 major parties still sit relatively close to centre, and particularly wild right wing elements have been shredded at the last round of elections.

The hard-rights attempts at US style minority led major parties seem to be invalidated by the voting population, so I'd say our system of ranked choice voting with mandatory participation is working very well.

I use earplugs in my helmet every day, I used Shure se215 for a long time as they were the slimmest product I could find, now I'm using Plugfones, which are essentially a silicon earplug with a transducer, they block out all noise with fairly good sound quality.

This is an amazing rundown of the significant differences, and more importantly, similarities between these 2 generation, I think you did a really good job of explaining it clearly, and I found it very illuminating, thank you.

I had this one in my head for yeaaaaars and I’m so glad I can start from scratch here in the fediverse.
