I’m impressed by how he had to construct the back half of that guy.

I’m trying to figure out if you have a misplaced modifier with “obscure, lesser known”. You have it modifying “country” in the title. In other words, you want musicians of any level of renown who come from a lesser known country.

However, you mention Fela Kuti, who is from Nigeria, which is not a lesser known country. You would have to be very ignorant of basic world geography to not have heard of Nigeria.

And, as usual, commenters are completely ignoring your criteria by mentioning musicians from Germany and New Zealand and Columbia and Vietnam.

So perhaps you meant obscure musicians instead of obscure countries, but that would still leave me wondering what subset of countries you intended? Just countries other than your own? But if so, I don’t know what country you are in.

The guy that said DUI and DWI are the same is wrong.

First, states have different blood alcohol levels that qualify as intoxicated.

Second, assume you are driving funny on a Friday night and a cop pulls you over. They will test your blood alcohol level using breathalyzer. If it shows you have been drinking but your blood alcohol levels is below the legal intoxication level, then that is a DUI, and it is a lesser offense.

Last I heard, some states like Texas don’t even have such a thing as DUI. It used be and still might be, that if you are not intoxicated then the cops will force you to get a ride home but there is no criminal charge.

DWI means you were caught driving with a blood alcohol level that is above the legal intoxication limit. In most states, the legal intoxication level is so high that if you actually go over it then you are certainly very obviously drunk. This is a much more serious charge.

If “mildly infuriating” is just a synonym for “annoying” then I’d say this post nails the theme perfectly.

Wow. Gee whiz. My suggestions can’t compete with John Malkovich or Nigel Planer, but…

Some (maybe most?) Star Wars novels are packed with sound effects and electronic voice distortion effects. I’ve listened to Labyrinth of Evil, Darth Plagueis, and Path of Destruction.

Also, I recall being impressed listening to the Silmarillion and the narrator’s pronunciation. Sure, it was a professional production so they had to get it right, but still impressive to hear.

For Whom The Bell Tolls by Ernest Hemmingway is set during this period. Just a side note.

If everyone should learn to read, it would not only ruin writing but thinking as well.

Let me tell you a tale about downloading erotic jpeg files over 28k modems and stitching them back together, in which the image file was split into pieces, uuencoded and posted on Usenet.

In the 90s there was this purple dinosaur from a children’s TV show that everyone seemed to hate. I don’t know anything about him or why we were supposed to hate him. To know anything about him you would have to have watched a show for 3 year olds, so if you did that then you deserve to be annoyed by it. Right?

But why did we evolve a hook & loop clasp to hold the top of our skull closed?

I feel you and what everyone is doing annoys me too, but our only recourse is to do something worse.

My proposal: we start calling our cock “corpora cavernosa”.

Examples:

• “Hey, Chumley, don’t just stand there with your corpora cavernosa in your hand.”
• ”He’s being a total corpora cavernosa!”
• ”My corpora cavernosa got pinched by my zipper.”
• ”Hey, bro, does my corpora cavernosa hook off to the right?”

In case non-native English speakers don’t understand.

The word “murder” is an old legal term meaning: unlawful killing of a person. This implies that there are lawful ways to kill a person. Slang usage of the word “murder” is less precise.

A proper translation of the Bible’s 10 Commandments prohibits murder, that is, don’t kill anyone in a way that your tribe forbids. It does not prohibit every kind of killing of people, that would be ludicrous. This is why those Christians who have the viewpoint of 100% no killing of people are misguided.

We are in our suffix-punk arc. We’re such word-pilled portmanteau-maxxers.

They are named after the hero who goes back in time to save Sarah Connor from the Terminator.

Also, you are too old to be picking on school children.

Same, but a year ago.

Also, Temu has tried to take all the shopping search results from Bing/DDG. So those results are trash now.

No. Stay and fight. The theater of conflict is closed. There is no place else to go.

If you leave you’re the same as these fighting-age single men fleeing Syria or wherever. Literally or metaphorically, you’ll end up drowning in the Mediterranean in a pathetic cowards death.

To the radical old-heads like me. If you have stage 4 cancer, then you ain’t surviving. That’s a license to do anything because you’ll be dead in a year. Find a billionaire and do what needs to be done. Of course I mean give them a stern talking to; I’ve heard psychopaths respond well to those. And not one of the famous ones, they are actually not as bad. The less famous ones are also more touchable.

Stay strong in the struggle.

I thought he got money because he took the money the other guys were skimming.

Atkins. The 00s low carb diet. How did people do it?

When I finally broke, I put steamed rice and French fries on a cheese pizza and rolled it up and ate it.

I’m not the person you are replying to but I do have one answer.

The Library of Congress should be tasked with maintaining a searchable index of Internet and World Wide Web sites. No ranking. Your skill at finding sites would be related to your skill with writing search queries

If you recall Altavista from the late 90s, I am thinking of something like that

After a few hours of playing Witcher 3, I realized it was Fable but more complicated. Have you ever played Fable 3?
