She does get a bit tasty with the old knuckle dusters.

I know right. I’m sticking to cigarettes.

Maybe stop sending them billions in weapons then, eh?

How nice of Israel to help dismantle all those dangerous old asbestos filled buildings for them.

Imagine going through that in real life, eventually sitting down to make a heartfelt comic about it, and then the entire internet takes the piss.

If anything that just makes it even funnier.

In fairness if plants had their names written on them, I’d probably be able to identify those as well.

Yeah, it’s surprising how much pocket fluff gets in there. If it no longer clicks into place, chances are it needs a good clean.

We trusted corporations.

I’d like to think we’ve collectively learned our lessons, but watching people migrate from Reddit to fucking Discord makes me think that we really have not and probably never will.

What if it isn’t him, but the guy next in line to replace him?

I do have a double set with original (or as much as you could get) along with the post-prequels completely broken one. I think there was a pre-prequels version as well. But then that is DVD quality, which is getting on a bit.

The likes of Disney+ doesn’t even acknowledge the originals even exist.

Same with their Alien and Aliens versions as well. No director’s cuts at all, which is a shame as I far prefer them. They should have both.

They were course and rough and irritating and got everywhere.

The only way to watch the original Star Wars movies before George completely fucked with them is piracy.

The 4K77, 80 and 83 editions are what you’re after. Enjoy. There are apparently reduced noise versions as well, but I thought it was perfect as is. It’s old. It’s supposed to have noise and grain. The desert scenes in the first one are really noisy and I’m not 100% sure why. Maybe he filmed those on cheaper film stock in smaller cameras, but that’s just a guess.

In fairness that happened in 1948 and hasn’t really let up since.

Bit of it, yeah. But Iran in particular is a mid-20th century clusterfuck of British and US interference.

Honestly the best thing we can all do is wean ourselves off oil so it can go back to being a scattering of unimportant desert tribes.

In the UK there’s a soft limit of 4.5 times your income.

This is the amount they’re allowed to do with no oversight.

But 15% of their mortgages per quarter can be over that, and as far as I can tell there’s no real upper limit, although they’ve been offering 6x mortgages in some places.

The entire economy has prioritised pumping mortgage money around, and so nothing will be done. The only real lessons from the last big crash was to limit bad borrowing a bit, and that is crumbling away too.

I don’t see any short term fixes that wouldn’t get their political parties booted out and replaced with a party that promises to pump the house prices again.

The prices are set by banks. The only limit on what somebody can sell you a house for is what the bank is prepared to lend you.

If the interest rates go down, the price goes up. If the term lengths go up, the price goes up. Prevent lending, and the landlords will buy it up because normal people can no longer afford them.

The system has been fucked for way too long, and in order to fix it, you’re going to have to upset a lot of people who have put their money into their home.

Now where have we heard that one before…

Bill Murray always claims he was conned into making Garfield, but he still came back for Garfield 2.

Sometimes all you need is a big pile of money in exchange for what is not really a lot of work in the grand scheme of things.

Well it was the 69 year old that died, so maybe.

But if you’re 69, and have a heart condition, I dunno. Maybe try lube instead of poppers.

Apple: Enough!

But you’ll have to buy a whole new laptop when it turns out that was a lie.
