@bazscott I can look out the window and see a newly completed social housing development that hasn’t been fully occupied yet.

@bazscott I’m not exactly hoarding anything 🙂 After spending years paying to let other people’s houses, we bought a holiday home. It’s not a commercial property; we can and do put it on AirBnB but the primary purpose is to have our own space in our favourite place, with a view to retiring there.

@bazscott I own two houses. Not exactly sure what I’m doing wrong.

@antonyjohnston I don’t really think of myself as a metal person, but I love Slave to the Grind. I’ll definitely be listening to this episode to hear what you have to say about one of my favourite albums from my teenage years!

@bazscott I feel like early U2 was kids learning to be musicians. Unforgettable Fire and Joshua Tree was musicians trying to be serious and killing each other in the process. (Rattle and Hum was a cash-in and breaking point). Achtung Baby was peak seriousness and discovering how to have musical fun. ZooTV/Zooropa was the exploration of the musical fun while on the road, and Pop was where they perfected it. It’s been downhill ever since as they become a parody of themselves.

@intheseheels that is a lovely little piece of vinyl!

Zooropa was a good album and I will fight anyone who says different.

@bigzaphod I have my boxed version of Logic Pro 7 at home, and I love the fact that it has paper manuals for all the instruments. It just feels complete.

@schwa I’ve got a HomePod complaining about needing an Apple ID password updated, but the Home app isn’t responding when I tap the Enter Password button. Doomed.

@scottearle @jamesthomson you are not helping! 🙂

@scottearle @jamesthomson fortunately it’s all in production right now and all tests are giving good results. We just need to flick the switch on the big day!

@scottearle @jamesthomson it’s being done on a Thursday. I was sure I’d requested a Tuesday!

@jamesthomson @scottearle now I’m worried. I’m responsible for rolling out a new unified login process for our customers in a couple of weeks and I was already feeling nervous about screwing something up. At least we don’t have as many users as Apple!

Record Store Day just doesn’t work for me. I drove for an hour to a record store, and the one thing I wanted from RSD was gone.

I’m not sure what creating artificial scarcity really achieves, especially if it ends up in frustration and puts me off visiting the store in person.

I’ll wait until Monday and see if any of the independent British stores with online presences have copies left over.

@BenRiceM it’s a complex situation I guess. I’ve been able to take advantage of some confusion about it to save money on import duties and such like so I’ll not complain too much 🙂

@BenRiceM @altstore damn. Couldn’t get it to work in Northern Ireland. Apparently Apple aren’t honouring our place in the EU for goods and services. 🙂

@nivrig there’s a smooching scene in Episode 7 that i felt was worth every minute I put into it up until that point.

@nivrig I definitely have an affinity for Fallout 4, and post-apocalyptic stuff in general, but from reading about it after watching I think a lot of references were to games that I hadn’t played and I don’t think it impacted my enjoyment.
