I recall our local Co-Op had one of those in their window. They had a separate electrical department to the side of the supermarket and stocked a lot of Philips equipment. So much so that the only VCRs they had were Video 2000.

Came across this on LBC News. Apparently hundreds of migrant rubber boats have been seized on the Bulgarian border. What's the odds the Russian FSB are involved in supplying them?

When Grammy-winning musician Rhiannon Giddens begins playing “Old Corn Liquor,” a traditional Black American folk tune, acclaimed Chinese pipa virtuoso Wu Man recognizes similarities to Chinese pentatonic music and spontaneously joins in. The joy on their faces says it all.

Half-past midnight, and the local council are currently erecting Chr*stm*s lighting in the street outside. No sleep for me, then.

No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads

These won't be turned on for another month or so. They get erected late at night when there's little traffic around.

That time someone dumped a toy house on the cemetery wall and, when I crouched a bit, some ✨ Hollywood Magic ✨ occurred.

The first Russian diesel cargo heading for the US left St Petersburg on September 22, two weeks *before* Trump announced the deal with Putin, Windward reports. The Greek-flagged tanker Minerva Zen carrying 275,000 barrels of diesel/gasoil is due at the US East Coast around 11–12 October.

In computing a nonce is a random number used as a security token. I used to have to support a computer system that would occasionally display the message "invalid nonce".

There's a group of men in liederhosen wandering around town tonight. Some works piss-up, and as they're all men and utterly obnoxious I presume they're soldiers from the local barracks.

There's one other set of recordings that could have received overdubs - the Decca audition tape. It was purported that Brian Epstein did attempt to hawk the tape around New York record companies in 1963 or 1964. Could he have arranged to have that tape enhanced?
