Given cars are becoming more and more like modern computers and most people have some preference of what side of the wheel the indicator is on: It's surprising that manufacturers don't allow changing the stalk side via software setting

Think for me it's probably the expanse for how well suited the opening and theme is to expressing the vibe of the show.

Other shows I'd rate the theme music/opening vibe favourably include:

The 4400 (2004 version)

Battlestar Galactica

Community

Foundation

Flight of the Conchords

Halt and catch fire

Mandalorian

Silo

Westworld

It's not felt so much like panic buying to me as everyone trying to buy on the cheap day of the week to maximise savings causing massive lines.

Walked down the park today and the line for the nolla servo was round the block.

Yep, I came from QC 35 IIs and everything but the noise cancelling quality has felt the same or a downgrade 😔

Will admit the hinges on my QC ultra headphones have been pretty good.

The things that annoy me about them are:

Unable to switch off noise cancellation

The earphone cushions fell apart after 6 months

Custom button action can't toggle an aware mode

On head play pause was buggy enough to turn the feature off

They semi regularly decide to reboot in the middle of calls and meetings

I'm assuming you are retail and not on the design / software side of things but if you have any power to pass the feedback up the chain plz do ❤️

I'll second Mr Inbetween.

On point dialogue. You think you're getting something different but it's just an incredibly good slice of life. Was scrolling to make sure it was mentioned

You share a lot of my taste and made me check the peripheral but it was only one season like I thought.

Have you seen:

The expanse

Sense8

Ascension (3 ep mini series)

Impulse (jumper universe that felt a bit closer to the vibe of the books than the movie did)

Wayward Pines season one was also ok

Wow, thought it was... Thanks for the info 😊

Cloud Atlas is my usual mention.

Favourite movie and it's usually a fairly even split between people like myself who love it and people who think it's garbage.

Not much middle ground

If you feel like you are about to sneeze but can't quite manage it (and do want to), tilt your head upwards and look into a bright light.

Was going to go camp at bald hill to check out the meteor shower but given the weather I might pass and just try and drive somewhere for a quick squiz with the wife before heading home.

Any spot suggestions within a 45 ish min drive that have a good view north and not a ton of light pollution?

 

Anyone found a good source for policy summaries for all the minor parties and independents this year?

Haven't found anything that covers the upper house this time around.
