Robert Smith, flanked by Lee "Scratch" Perry and Tricky, each of whom is holding a water bottle on top of Smith's head, to form "horns". They are all grinning like idiots.

Reliable UK online store for second hand phones for teenagers anyone? Loads of places seem to have bad reviews of cheap battery replacements that turn bad after 3 months.

Right yeah, so you hear a randomness in the timing of the side chain release relative to the kick start I guess

That's really interesting, so I understand the concept of destructive interference etc. but what's the idea specifically about it being in phase at the END of the kick? is it in context of a sidechain compression between kick and sub?

But the idea that billionaires could just be less rich - not poor, not struggling, just less rich, is considered insane."

New! Cassetteboy vs Keir Starmer.

This took absolutely ages, so if you'd like to buy us a coffee at ko-fi.com/cassetteboy we'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

And that's why it's a tough one for Starmer.
Keep him and face the scandal or fire him and draw attention in the US to Trump/Epstein again
David Aaronovitch @ @DAaron....4m
Since the job of the British ambassador is to suck up to Trump in the hope of influencing his behaviour Mandelson's friendship with Epstein is practically a qualifier

So our continuation of shipping to the US relies on our US customers accepting their responsibility to pay their Trump bills... This feels like a pretty shaky scenario for us πŸ€”

I can understand why they have decided to just not ship to the US. In scenarios where a parcel is delivered to a US customer and they are not invoiced for tariffs until AFTER it arrives.. then if the customer just refuse to pay it then the SENDER is forced to pay it.

I'm trying to get a promised refund for a lousy experience and it's clearly coming up on AI MDMA and splurging out versions of this and telling me it needs time out and has to go now. But it always has my back.
