In many Reddit circles, that would be construed as malicious incompetence. However sometimes some people are just too fucking picky. Does it really *really* matter if there's a pot in the upper rack of the dishwasher?

I've always liked the flugelhorn. It just sounds so cool.

Being able to swap between brass and singing is impressive, i found my singing voice was even worse coming straight from playing.

By 1995, it definitely meant what it means.

Playing with other people is probably the best and worst part of playing any instrument.

I just stuck to trumpet: much more convenient to carry around.

My sister swapped from trumpet to trombone in a brass band after a couple of years, which stayed in treble clef in Bb, but went on to play orchestral, which has its own set of clefs in different keys. All of which she had to learn to play by sight. Ugh.

Those danos are super lightweight, they look great too. I never understood why they went all-in with the sparkles, but it's one of the things that makes them recognisable.

Umm person laughing as woman falls overboard entangled with an anchor.

Tbh the music is so bland at first listen, it could have been written by chatgpt too.

There's a good reason for that: the video is - from what I can see - entirely generated by AI.

I can't tell whether the music is. Both voices are autotuned to oblivion, which can be a valid artistic choice, but also masks their voices.

The seprequel would have clarified everything. We'd have been sitting here saying, "in the end it was so simple!"

If you go to New Zealand bottles of soap can look like smuggled honey, which is against their strict biosecurity rules. At least nobody points a weapon at you.

The scene in Edinburgh, where it's raining is pretty unrealistic since everyone puts up umbrellas.
Edinburgh is a windy place: a fool and his functioning brolly are soon parted.

The way taxation works in the rich man world, i expect the government will end up paying him tax.

1 million robots seems a nice easy low bar, especially if there isn't a requirement for them to have been bought by actual customers.

It exploded. I get flashbacks when I smell mustard.

The previous owners of the lease should have given their tenants the option to buy. Or just give it to them.

The system is archaic, we got rid of it here in Scotland decades ago.

This.

Low personal stakes is the main thing, plus future prospects: an asshole is less likely to get work and there's a non-zero chance of them working together in future.

Also that whole entertainment world is full of backstabbing, so they're used to it.

I'll put money there's a museum somewhere with a similar device but using the scintillating powers of 'Radium Therapy'

I loved this series as a kid.

No, the drunks are not 'fewer boring', they're 'less boring.'
