Roger Waters is a English songwriter, singer and bassist who was born on this day in 1943. His most famous work is with Pink Floyd's 4 concept albums, DSOTM, WYWH, Animals and The Wall. He, along with David Gilmour is the "leader" of the band, though they collaborated much more in their earlier albums.

His father was a communist who died in WW2 during the battle of Anzio, which inspired the album The Wall, also inspired by his over-protective mother and feeling of isolation from performance.

The albums he most prominently wrote on were Animals, The Wall and The Final Cut (which did not realize nearly the same amount of praise as the other albums.)

Roger Waters is a avid socialist advocate and anti-Israel person, who raises money and posts videos about various humanitarian issues in the world. A lot of his work on "Animals" is anti-cop, anti-capitalist and pro-revolution, often very obviously.

Roger was inducted along with the rest of Pink Floyd in 1996, and continues to tour to this day.

Previous answer

In 24 hours the watch gained 1/2 - 1/3 = 1/6 minute. It would seem it would be 5 minutes fast in 5 times 6 = 30 days; that is, the morning of May 31. But already on the morning of May 28 the watch was 27/6 = 4 1/2 minutes fast. At the close of that day the watch gained 1/2 minute more, so it was 5 minutes fast on May 28.

A shooting match

Andryusha :frog-no-pretext:, Borya :hst-gun:, and Volodya :brace-cowboy: each fired 6 shots, and each got 71 points.

Image of shots fired

Andryusha's first 2 shots got 22 points and Volodya's first shot got only 3 points. Who hit the bull's-eye?

Like usual have fun :soviet-heart: and remember to dm @Wmill the answer.

Sorry for the short thread, had a busy day.

    For real tho I HATE the pet name “baby/babe”.
    Idk if I just associate it with like…all those couples in middle and high school so it seems kind of immature/trashy to me.
    But I don’t like it when I hear it.

      I hated it, but then it just sort of happened one day and it’s hard to break the habit! It’s weird in front of other people, though.

      I think it depends really on whoever is saying what to me tbh. Like if someone I'm crushing on called me something I wasn't too keen on I'd probably more get used to it and force myself to like it. It also might also go back to me having trouble speaking up for myself though.
