Presumably the pilot would have been ordered to do this. To what end? Why?
Yes China, we know you want Taiwan back. Either commit to solid action or don’t. This bizarre behaviour just risks lives and expensive aircraft.
Seriously, what’s the point?
I do this and you are completely correct.
Of course I meant “head” when I said “nut” as I guess you already knew.
Nevertheless the only wank I’d get off a Radiohead song would be a crywank. I don’t doubt or challenge their creative skills. I just find my life force ebbing away to their whining, dreary songs. I know they speak right into some people’s souls, but not mine.
Also, I’d be willing to put down a wager that there are more Radiohead tribute acts than Muse tribute acts because Radiohead are easier to emulate because they aren’t as good.
You’ll find fewer people able to play confidently on a full grand piano, then leap away from it, pick up a Manson Signature and start making it scream like a banshee.
(The Dutch tribute called “Musest” are an exception, their frontman nails it.)
I just don’t like Radiohead, sorry. I recognize that this won’t be popular but so be it. I think we’re both smart enough to know that arguing about music won’t result in any minds being charged, but I’ll die on this hill if need be.
Thank you. Your comment/advice has completely validated my switch over to Lemmy.
Muse are Radiohead + actual musical knowledge and multi-instrument talent.
Muse make me want to bang my nut off with joy. Radiohead, not so much.
Some people play music as they commit suicide. It’d be interesting to see if there is any correlation between the two.
As soon as I hear the opening bars of “Creep” I find myself involuntarily making nooses and looking round the room for something that could take my weight.
This will be a tough one to fix. There must be millions upon millions of embedded systems out there with 16-bit epoch burned in.
They’ll all be much tougher to find than “YEAR PIC(99)” in COBOL was.
Y2K wasn’t a problem because thousands upon thousands of programmers worked on it well in advance (including myself) we had source code and plenty of static analysis tools, often homegrown.
The 2038 bugs are already out there…in the wild…their source code nothing but a distant dream.
