Had recently watched the 1970 Movie and found the following [trivia from IMDB](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0066026/trivia/

*According to Johnny Mandel and Robert Altman, the film's famous theme song was intended to be the "stupidest song ever written." After attempting to write the lyrics himself, Altman said he found it too difficult to write "dumb enough," and instead gave to the task to his fourteen-year-old son. Mike Altman allegedly wrote the lyrics in five minutes, not even expecting to be paid, since he was the director's son. He ended up making millions in royalties off the song.

The fourteen-year-old son of director Robert Altman, Mike Altman, wrote the lyrics to the theme song "Suicide is Painless." Because of its inclusion in the subsequent television series, he continued to get residuals throughout its run and syndication. His father was paid $75,000 for directing, but his son eventually made about $2 million in song royalties, with payments continuing, from first syndication through the present day, as MASH (1972) continues in syndication around the world.

No that’s a different one. There’s also Thunderbird: Free your inbox (Vers 8.0) which I assume is the release.

I would talk to my boss about that but that would be me.

I run windows, Linux and Mac boxes. The software I use for work will only run on windows and Mac, does not work well with any Linux virt windows app (though people are constantly trying). Windows is fine, I don’t particularly care for osx. I simply don’t like Microsoft attitude to me a user of their product.

OSX allows me to disable most things. I’m sure it will get shittier as well, but for the moment it works as well as my current pc. I do like apple hardware, not a fan of iOS.

Yeah good call fringe was a great show that didn't outstay it's welcome.

When my PC loses support I'll be on the Mac mini train. Would convert the box to Linux but my work apps aren't supported sadface.

First off I have to show my lack of taste by mentioning I will play any mainline final fantasy game.

But games I recommend and will likely buy the next ones are Persona 3R/4G/5R and The Witcher 3 with DLC / Cyberpunk 2077.

All great games of high quality, though some do not like the W3 combat mechanics.

Not necessarily a favourite but I have a lot of time for Drone Metal - classic example would be ØØ Void by Sunn O))). You can stick on a pair of headphones and the world ceases to exist.

All your content are belongs to us.. sorry what they mean is "We’re always experimenting with different ways to connect our users with high-quality and helpful information. "

Quite funny how all recipe posts have (frustratingly) a ton of content before you get to the recipe I assume to assist with ranking on their search and then Google just lifts the good stuff.

I wonder what the site gets as part of the agreement.

 

Watched these two the other week, starting with USM. Love how the feature the same cast, but ones a thriller, the other more an action movie.

Hadn’t watched the fugitive in a long time. It’s really good. Kicked me off on a bit of a 90s watching binge.

Not sure, but Dopesmoker by Sleep would be up there.

Where to start?

One of the greats from the C64. A step up from Last Ninja in terms of graphics and gameplay. The soundtrack is killer for the time. Still sad that System 3 never seemed to get close to releasing a Last Ninja 4

I should give this a rewatch. I'm guessing it holds up and has a lot of non-cgi action scenes? I havent seen it in so long. Do a Dennis Hopper double feature this and True Romance.

Yeah it’s detrimental that approaches used in other apps don’t render in mastodon. It weakens the potential of the fediverse, and for those that understand fedi = mastodon. Who knows how it will react to proposals for groups etc.
