Okay not a direct comparison but if I was playing a Paradox grand strategy game and the neighbor country started getting all fascist / authoritarian, I would want to group with like minded nations for protection. Hey we’re already in a defense treaty with them why not make it a more inclusive type agreement? Personally I always felt culturally closer to the UK (yes I know not there anymore) than the US and thought many of our policies mirrored the US due to location and held us back.

I looked it up after and yes it was I’m not sure I actually watched that episode though had watched many classic ones.
One day I’ll actually watch them all, classic and ones I mean. The older ones are a bit ummm more difficult to enjoy the same way. Always thought Capaldi was short changed in that his two parters, were less interesting than many single episodes of new who but they did try. And mostly I thought it was writing not acting that held them back,Capaldi rocked. But I did like they tried, cause so many old whos were least 4 parters if not more and people were asking but I don’t think they had the proper mindset to stretch it out even half as well.
Edit also don’t mind me, I just think the Doctor is one of the best characters/heroes of all fiction…he always does the best he can to save all he can. Mean it’s cheesy but gives me a warm fuzzy feeling when the story only gives so many options.
if only we could all push for what that character said was good. It’d make a better world.
There’s a Big Finish Dr Who audio story, well two I think, where the bad guy is named Nimrod. A scientist in their stories. So not everyone thought the name was an insult…or maybe they did, huh, but figure if the name gets to be known as a main guy the Doctor clashes with they can’t really think he’s a complete fool.
Though I always remember the cartoons first.
orbitz@lemmy.cato Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Study Finds Water Isn't the Best Drink for HydrationEnglish1·4 days agoI’m an adult, always enjoyed milk but not much beyond a bowl of cereal or a glass (possibly chocolate) in a day. Don’t have it overly often most of the time but even if I do it’s not a lot. Still feels satisfying to have in my 40s. Of course I may be considered weird for other reasons by many but didn’t think the milk consumption factored in heh.
Edit thought I’d add, has at least protein in it so there are worse things to have with more sugars, though yes know lactase breaks down to carbs (or something similar I may have forgotten the name)

orbitz@lemmy.cato PC Master Race@lemmy.world•Switched back to air cooling after over a decade on AIOsEnglish2·13 days agoI may not have had a good air cooler but I rarely hear my pump unless I put it up high then it’s only cause I’m listening afterI changed the speed. Usually it works fine on regular or low. I haven’t had an air cooler for about 8ish years now either so good chance they’ve improved.
orbitz@lemmy.cato PC Master Race@lemmy.world•Switched back to air cooling after over a decade on AIOsEnglish5·13 days agoHaven’t checked out many of their reviews I’ll keep them in mind, at first I had them confused with guru3d who seem to come up often for parts reviews. I always like to find the worst points of a few reviews then if they don’t seem too bad maybe the product is acceptable heh. Though you do need a handful to check for sure.
orbitz@lemmy.cato PC Master Race@lemmy.world•Switched back to air cooling after over a decade on AIOsEnglish101·13 days agoI like the AIOs cause the fans don’t sound like they’re lifting an aircraft carrier. I’m more conscious of noise cause my gaming PC is near to the main tv so don’t want my gf to be inconvenienced when she is watching TV, I suppose I could get a lower sound fan that’d do it well (haven’t really looked at options for years) but most of them sounded loud when I switched and I like my toys too, though I swear my previous version was making a whining noise for awhile (pump I think) but long since upgraded since I forgot to check radiator size one case upgrade.
orbitz@lemmy.cato No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why do some people hate drinking water?5·18 days agoI’ve lived where tap water tasted like shit, not quite literally but eveytime I went home I’d have to remember not to drink the tap water. Eventually that town got a better water treatment plant but I can sort of see it from that angle. We always had the big 4gallon jugs (again may not be correct but the bigger jugs that sit on top for a dispenser) for regular drinking water
Thankfully where I moved to (many many kms away) the tap water was awesome, don’t live there now but I still do tap water over filtered for the most part. Never seems that much worse so may as well.
Really the only reason you’d drink the other tap water was cause you’re hungover…also been there. Then you remember that there’s a water dispenser somewhere in that house cause no one drank the water from the tap in the town. Even the better water wasn’t great but still noticably improved.
Ya heard of me?
Who hasn’t heard of…(Stop now before I type out the script).
He was hilarious, but I hope he knows he probably can’t do it quite the same and maybe get replaced by the novice, homogenized milk. I really got no idea what fat content of milk is used for yogurt but think you get the idea. He could even be quite fabulous.

orbitz@lemmy.catoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.world•PSA: Don't take 4 packets of paracetamol in one dayEnglish1·26 days agoIt may be less effective but you use it till the bottle is done, it’s not like milk it still works.
orbitz@lemmy.catoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.world•PSA: Don't take 4 packets of paracetamol in one dayEnglish4·26 days agoThe bottle on my shelf has 350 (new, Costco brand) but I don’t take over the recommended dose for obvious reasons. Guess it expired last year now that I look heh. The smaller bottles cost more per dose so no reason not buy a larger one. This is in Canada, not the US for people curious about other countries.
I hate even waiting for the stores to open, then 10 mins before it’s worth getting ready to go I’m all antsy and then end up being the first person at the store. To be fair I wake up at 4am most of the time so not really early for me.
When Leeto got bored of the Duncans and didn’t use his prescience. Don’t mind me been listening to the Dune series for the umpteenth time again. Just the core ones of course.
Not sure how many people will get this, but way back when I have Eve online a go, I made either some containers or markers (guessing markers? Cause otherwise I’d have just took the cargo but can’t recall why I had two then), but they were called the bees knees and the cat’s pajamas. For some reason I always liked those terms for something good. I’m ‘only’ in my 40s so not quite from my time lol.
orbitz@lemmy.cato No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•If not intentially a minority and I get into a fight and I did not know they were gay, palestinian, jewish, or whatever. Can I still be charged with a hate crime? Or does one have to know first?4·1 month agoSometimes you may not have a choice with who fights you. I recall once in Calgary a few decided to try and fight our group and we just disengaged, but if they were adament about fighting there was little we could do. It was quite random and we’d were in our middle teens and don’t think we said anything first but it’s going back like 30 years so recollection is hazy. I think we were just walking around in the evening is all.
So people just are looking for a fight and maybe our disinterest curbed their desire but I have no doubt there are others who wouldn’t be curbed by that and just want to beat on people.
I do agree with the general sentiment but sometimes even if you do everything correctly the wrong outcome happens.
Stimulant, dexedrine is what worked for me. At one point I tried a number others and they didn’t seem to work the same, even Adderall wasn’t the same but I know it’s very similar. Know Vyvanse was another, but know there were a couple other I don’t recall. First one was Ritilan but that gave me hives which took me a bit to register why they were happening, well two days but easy enough since it was the new thing.
I didn’t get diagnosed until I was just under 30, medication has done wonders for myself since. I don’t think my parents had a clue, I was quite smart, if I had medication in my school days I can only wonder what I may have achieved, but I’m a university dropout. Doing okay but I do wonder sometimes.
Well I was more just meaning when I was growing up and this is going back to the late 80s - 90s. I saw a lot more British television than other European TV (in fact none of other) so didn’t exactly have much else to compare it to in the EU that was. From that and knowing they offered some good services such as post secondary education, healthcare etc it felt like a nicer fit for my ideas. Plus the amount of British words we tended to use.
