Six .. six Oscars. Well deserved.

@amerpie don’t know if you listen to the Rockenteurs podcast with Gary Kemp and Guy Pratt .. their latest is with Edgar Wright .. and all about soundtracks and film in music.

@ChrisJWilson 😂😂😂🤯

@thompsonson when i was a lad - and ‘learning’ math(s) - not sure from which side o’ the Atlantic you hail - and definitely before I ‘studies’ the same … my teacher looked at us urchins and said (paraphrasing here as you might guess …)

> imagine if this entire classroom contained everything we know - equations, proofs, theories, concepts, books … everything - about all of mathematics …. now down here in this corner there is a 1 inch cube. That cube is large enough to contain every part of maths that we today can apply.

It stuck with me - and in fact one of the influencers in taking me into the ‘study’ field of ‘pure’ maths.

Whether that was true then … whether it holds today … no idea - but the story has stayed with me. Even to the point of him crouching down in the corner and pointing to that imaginary 1 inch cube.

@numericcitizen you mean like the neo 😉

@ChrisJWilson same thought been runing through my head - but family plan - and other half is saying “but I’ve just got used to 1 Password = yo cnt chnage me again.”

@ayjay Which in turn brought mo mind this quote:

@amerpie ha - thank you - I’ll take it - even though the definition of ends thus:

> despite having significant impairment in other areas of intellectual or social functioning.

😂

@lmika and heaven only knows why my reply is in triplicate! Deleted two - lets see if that resolves.

🔗 Manton is of similar opinion.

@derekpeden let them eat cake 😎

@lmika Can’t quite put my finger on it but there is another dimension … I am most definitely not a developer .. state of the art for me was Wordpress , plugins, maybe Elementor and CSS dabbles .. if I wanted more I had friends or .. I paid .. or more often than not did nothing. That has radically changed .. I’m not planning to build anything that will see the light of day as a product others can use .. but in my business world we are building those … with real developers who know what they are doing .. somewhere there is a 2 * 2 ..

@amerpie … wait no mention of Larry or Mike? Something is amiss. Turns out that this version was a cover .. Mike gets the writing credit .. but no mention of Larry .. because he isn’t on this version.

Behold … the original

personally .. I blame 🍎who are very very bad at monging covers, originals and compilations.

But yes .. great show, great theme and Larry sirs in a class of his own (well - if you don’t count Pat).

I see the Peaky movie is out and in my local cinema.

@cheesemaker nicely done sir.

@bradenslen even the people who didn’t understand … even hated Zappa at the time - miss Zappa.

@artkavanagh so more ‘début de siècle’ 😉

… though I fear the pessimism, world-weariness and dare I say l’ennui will continue - at least until the first coffee of the new era kicks in!

@manton Webring redux?

@amerpie Related question … what’s your favorite protest song from this century?

@MitchWagner haven’t read it .., but is this the one that is so fast that it downloads stuff before I’ve even thought about downloading the stuff?
