I don't often go for the full 4K Blu-ray Remux releases, since they're massive and I can't really tell the difference over a 10-15GB rip, at least visually. Just a webrip is fine, depending on the source. Plus even my nVidia Shield Pro struggles with them at times.

Rowling looks like the sort of person who votes for Farage.

For all the piss that Boris took, he'd still be more popular than all these put together. Brexit absolutely hollowed that party out. There's nothing left to salvage.

If this man is representing your constituency, he thinks you're a mug and you'll vote for a donkey as long as it's got a blue rosette.

Be nice to show him how wrong he is.

Well since they've found all that spare money, it seems there's no need for water rate rises after all.

It is our civic duty.

Should have gone for a more classic name, like The Swan & Paedo.

Billy Blueshirt already applauding.

Why would it catch fire in a toaster but not under a grill where there's an actual flame?

You'd never get that toaster clean again, but I'm not sure it would catch fire.

Well somebody is about to find his Twitter account closed for a spurious reason.

Big change. Apple fans will be queuing around the block to make sure they're not seen with last year's model.

Labour above Greens on the environment. Um, OK...

It's a long read. I needed a VPN to even see it.

I taught my sister this by lightly punching her in the arm repeatedly while going "if I hit you frequently it...?"

She's done nothing scientific whatsoever in the 25 years since, but she still remembers that.

And the blinding, amputations and hanging?

Of course it's .ml

If only there was a way for media to exist as a file.

Alas, it's just not possible.

Gee, we've tried taking content away, raising prices, injecting adverts and forcing them to use our crappy clients.

Why are people turning to piracy?

Advertising and lobbying are the only thing these people know how to do.

I went back to it recently. It's mostly down to Amazon deciding that paying them was no longer enough, you had to watch their ads as well.

Well now I don't. I installed Jellyfin, paid up for two years of VPN, and got another HDD. I'm set. I'm all done with asking nicely for a better service so I got my own.

I sub to Spotify because it's easier than pirating. I'm a creature of convenience. If there was one streaming service that had all movies that have already had their cinema run, and all TV shows, and was all in one UI, and nothing ever got taken off it, and it was a reasonable price (say the price of two current streaming services), I'd probably pay up for it.

But there isn't. They don't want to offer it. They all want to be king of their little corner.

If that diamond was really important to them, they'd have invented gunpowder to keep us away from it.
