The funniest bit about my Mömö is that her purring is different every day, going from asthmatic wheeze to vocalisation and, sometimes, even close to a 'proper' cat purr like this.

Canada and Denmark share a land border on an island west of Greenland.
This isn't even unique: The border between Sweden and Finland crosses a tiny island. It's crooked to ensure that the lighthouse stays on Finnish territory.

One more promo spam for my new EP. This is part 3 out of 5, next one will be out in November and the last one in December. If you spend any amount of money on my stuff, I'll send you a download code for the compilation with all the EPs once it's out :)

I don't get what people like about Frank Sinatra. His voice sounds flat and lifeless to me. I like a bit of vibrato and emotion when I listen to crooners (my guilty secret).
Borrowed a set called 'Kings of Jazz Vocals' from the library. Sinatra seems far removed from what I'd call jazz.

When I was 12 or so, I designed a nuclear engine: It would work like a gigantic diesel engine, but the propulsion of the cylinder would come from regularly exploded nuclear bombs.

Nuclear bomb propulsion. So 60s. According to this guy it would have actually worked.

Sean Connery has an eerie talent for picking turkeys. The Avengers (1998) is ghastly. You'd think Uma Thurman would make a fine Emma Peel, but 20 minutes in and I'm already tired of that smile. She's just not Diana Rigg.

Wow! Two rogue web pages just ate 8 gigabytes of RAM each. No wonder Firefox got sluggish. Half of it was in swap pages. My machine has 24 gigs of RAM...
Should have killed just those two instead of shutting the browser, so I'd know which they were.

In science fiction written in the 1940, computers run on vacuum tubes and data is stored on tapes.
These days, I've stumbled on SF where spacefaring people in the far future have data pads.
Come on, even 1980s cyberpunk had direct brain interfaces.

My main project in life is to make one million faces before I die. 100 a day, 36,500 a year. I'll get to a million at the age of 77. It's a literal deadline. Here's face number 505,146.

Exoplanets are exotic worlds orbiting distant stars far beyond our solar system. Ever since the first ones were discovered in the 1990s, astronomers have turned their attention to these distant worlds...

The Wild World of Batwoman AKA She Was a Hippy Vampire
is the silliest superhero movie of all time. Great fun. IMDB users seem to disagree: They gave it 1.8/10 points...

The AI slop version of Lupin III isn't half as much fun as the anime. No surprise there.

Back in the 00's if you shipped to Russia then literally everything would be stolen by Russian Customs no matter what it was. If you sent something tracked then it would arrive, but the package would contain something else like a paperback or whatever other junk they had lying around.

Sure, post punk can be many things, but a band that plays long, microtonal guitar solos is prog - even though they dress funny.
