Reply to TIL: A Mambo No. 5 cover by Bob the Builder went to number 1 in the UK on 9th September 2001, but was removed from BBC radio playlists after the 9/11 attacks as it was ‘too frivolous’ by gnomageddon7
My son was huge into bob the builder and I downloaded the album as soon as I found out about it so he could listen to it; I secretly enjoyed the mambo no. 5 song as well.
He was born in 05 so I didn't know about the 9/11 aspect of the release.

>The bullet holes suggest they didn't miss.
Weirdly neither does the title of the post.

Right? For as many times as this is asked I’m surprised there are people who still don’t know. Just fuckin look it up, Christ.

I don’t believe the government is neither lying nor telling the truth. Whatever they say the media will phrase the way the media wants to so why should I care either way?
I just don’t bring up thirty-year-old news to make a point. If I did, I’d use something like MK Ultra about how the government lies to us. Or Operation Northwoods.

Yeah it is and like u/pasher5620 said it’s ~30 years in the making. Every year it gets worse and worse. What was the last thing Jerry was in the news for?
lol, found this article as the first result in my search.

Truth. Nothing will change until he’s in the ground and can’t make terrible decisions anymore.

I'm glad the name was in the beginning of the article because I didn't want to read too far into it as to whether it was the person I know who 'fled' to Florida and was suspiciously absent the 5th, 6th, and 7th of January 2021.
Still waiting for that article.

Reply to comment by A-very-old-dog in National Archives releases thousands of documents on Kennedy assassination by John-Farson
Watched the show. There were typical Stephen King-isms that I was familiar with as a Constant Reader so I was a little surprised to see them make the leap from the page.
The rushed ending, for example. Granted it was a television show but it looked and sounded like a two-parter at least and instead it was crammed inside of one.

I’m in this post and I don’t like it.
I hate sharing why I’m stressed because it feels like a dumb thing to stress about so then I’m stressed all over again because why would I be worried about something so stupid that I can’t talk about it?

The precursor to that soundtrack was Judgment Night, another pairing of genres that somehow - mostly - worked. Introduced me to a lot of different bands and rap acts.

I did, and had the man woman television test that TFG was so proud of. Said everything but for my short term memory was fine, but that the STM was effed. That was only a little while ago though so we haven’t moved to treatment options. ADHD was ruled out, as was autism. Trying sleep apnea next as a maybe.

Reply to When you see an actor who seems familiar, do you feel like you need to KNOW who he played before? by fabrizziop17
Same with animated movies where I recognize the voice. Watched that super pets movie and the squirrel was the one that threw me. I was like, that’s got to be Diego Luna, right? So I went and checked and sure enough it’s him. I’ll so glad to see him getting more work, especially voice work.

Reply to Microsoft says its new version of Teams is twice as fast by Puginator
Every time they update teams at work it seems like it is losing features. Used to be you could have two windows open so you could chat on screen one while screen two was the meeting but now it's all in the same window.
I've gone through the settings and can't find anything related to that. But, also, we're on a weird contact for the software so maybe that's the culprit.
