Also, Go Mexico!

RIP, B. War!

00:29 - Languedocian

@Kirinyale- that's really interesting. There is never any wrong answer, for sure. Throughout history influential movements in science, arts, politics, etc. have tended to coalesce in certain years or places. It is fascinating.

22:57 - solar

Hey guys, does anyone here play the electric guitar? I'm looking to buy one. Any recommendations for a beginner? I want to play rock (hard, prog, jazz), not metal.

22:54 - no one

Christchurch got to 25 one day in June which is really fucked up. That's like middle of summer here.

22:23 - Bad English

No nor in north, last 2 weeks 24 c , before 10 to 17 degrees , before midsomer snow came to mountain areas, I day colder as avarage , now more less normal

22:17 - no one

@Bad English has it been a warm summer? I've seen there have been heat waves in other euro countries. Was a cold summer here and now a record breaking warm winter here.
