great work andy! - would be great to run with your logo(s) i reckon, doesn't seem to be steam for a comp (mind you i forgot this section was even here, people must be missing it)

hey re discussion about about costs of local books... i thought the reason it was exxy here was tarrifs / restrictions put in place by the gubbermint to ensure local printing jobs? moreso than economies of scale... a year ago labor were looking at removing these restrictions, there was lots of argum...

pissed off at the age and other melbourne coffee culture speak about 'only two blends' - FFS, one i enough if you do it right... its a real wank IMO, there are places where quantity of blends does not equate to great quality or consistency of good coffee, some of the age and MCR top toss spots inclu...

that aside, if the person above her gives a stuff about workplace culture and how a message like that would make people feel, then perhaps there is a way of anon raising it with them - print out on desk? you can spin it either way but to me it indicates something very wrong in the attitude of the pe...

wonder if those who were going to digitise/sell their vinyl would have generally done so by now i haven't and cant imagine i will - no time and while I don't love my collection like i did cant see myself clearing it, and my decks in a hurry, even though I don't use them just pondering, and how this ...

the 80s thing - glasses, something retro on necklace - kind of makes me think someone is projecting memories of being a white kid who likes hip hop but isn't cool enough to be in the gang. now they are an adult they make an ironic dig at the whole thing but doesn't realise they are broadcasting thei...

to me its something along the lines of an article CIA posted a while back its that thing of subcultures having a whole aesthetic, centred around at least something (e.g. music, some (quasi)-political statement) - so there is a look to identify with something else but the hipster aesthetic is a colla...

I'm still signed up to Getup but am well sick of them generally, don't give money but every now and then they still seem to be on point.

cool - i was mislead by the line 'We’re still working through the teething stage here so the food is not quite ready. '

the menu button is a little hard to find - maybe put a link in the text as well?

congrats on the progress

FoundationStepper

bu huge - props to anyone having wins in their small business

what kind of coffee you use? doesn't say on website

no food there yet?

FoundationStepper

boo sucks to doppler sounds when moving past stars though. wtf?

FoundationStepper

saw the hubble movie at imax

needed more space stars and stuff but still was pretty good

awesome end bit with web of galaxies

i find 3d shots of people/normal scenes too busy with depth of field - distracting and too much time focusing on the 3d aspect. seems to suit CGI much more

well if it was in the agreement they signed---- would like to see that...

im wistfully wistful that it gets fixed!

a clause on the sale doesn't change the noise protections under law unfortunately. the live music taskforce committed to implementing the 'agent of change' concept, makign noise assessment and control the job of the developer. its the only way. You would have to look at how well that was implemented

its a risk - im leaving the country at end of month, and standard USPS will likely take 2-3 weeks, but might be more....

so going for the premium USPS makes sense - wouldn't do fedex (around 35) as they likely charge for the passage through customs...

i read that the originoal cut for event horizon was a lot more 'suspense' than 'horror' (changed due to precreening feedback) - a sort of the shining in space... it turned out pretty b grade but it would have been good to see it in its intended form

I'm still struggling with the use of esionage... but removing religion seems a bit confining, its an easy way to maintain early game peace

still the great people (religion) generally hasn't helped so far

much different in Civ v on technology, diplomacy, etc?

re solaris, have listened to the soundtrack muchly. said it before here but I think the number 6 music on battlestar galactica is a bit of a solaris soundtrack rippoff

FoundationStepper

+1 on pace and character. wrapped up really satisfyingly too

reminds me i want to revisit solaris and stalker

anyone seen the clooney version of solaris?
