It is. Or was. I don't know if the hoodie in question was for them.

Ever bought a programmable robot for a child? (self.parenting)
 

I'm hesitating between Vex Go and Lego Education Spike for my 7 years old son who's interested in robotics.

Vex has a good organization system which is a big plus, but Lego looks like it has more cool things you can do with it.

I wanted to compare what customers thought but I have trouble finding indormation so I'm turning to you. Anyone has had experience with these products or any other?

Thank you

I don't understand how buying art with 6.2 m in cash is not going to be suspicious though?

Oooh ok, interesting! Thanks for the thorough answer.

I just bothered to look up "truecrime" for the first time. But I'm still confused. What's the difference between "truecrime" and just "crime documentary"?

"Catching up on emails" is something you must do and can take a lot of time depending on your role and circumstances, though. My interepretation of this answer would depend on if the answer is for "what I'm doing right now" or "what I've been working on today".

I take their comment as a play on words.

Doesn't "men and boys" have exactly the same meaning though?

I don't feel deshumanized for being called a male.

Disclaimer: I don't use the noun "female" because I know some find it offensive.

Self-described Nazi becomes first person jailed in Australia for performing outlawed salute in c/[email protected]

I think it's to clarify that it's not coming from the judgement of the newspaper. The Nazi himself is calling himself a Nazi. So, there's no doubt about it.

Yeah, I don't feel well at all with the idea of letting newborns who may not even started suckling use social media. It's a bit too soon.

Thank you for your answer. Here, page 57-58, it mentions people throwing their waste onto the street at night in Ancient Rome. There's even legal advice from the time relating to being hit by waste.

Do we have older metalheads here? (self.metal)
 

I was wondering if we have older metalheads here?

I've been educating myself on the history of metal, and that made me wonder if anyone here is much older than I am (early thirties here) and has seen some of that history.

How did you get into metal? How old were you?

Any interesting experience you'd like to share? Things that have changed?

How were metal and metalheads perceived where you lived?

J'avais créé cette carte il y a quelques années. Elle reste encore largement utile, je l'utilise encore. À ma connaissance, Montréal n'offre pas encore de carte pour ça.

La Place Versailles démolie pour construire 5000 logements (www.lapresse.ca)
 

Je vis proche, et je le fréquente souvent. Pour ma part, je trouve ça un peu triste, parce que j'y trouve des éléments architecturaux à l'intérieur qui sont intéressants, témoins d'une autre époque, mais c'est pour le mieux, car je ne peux qu'être pour une plus grande densification, et la Place Versailles a un stationnement vraiment excessif.

How to find more of this black metal with dungeon synth melodies? (self.metal)
 

Hey,

I'm generally more into melodeath, power metal, folk metal, and epic heavy metal. I sometimes listen to black metal, but I'm not a big fan of it. Unless it's blackened something (death, folk...)

But some black metal songs are something else for me.

Keys to the Astral Gates and Mystic Doors

This one has absolutely beautiful dungeon synth over the raw black metal, and I love it.

Winter Lantern - Elven Blood

Listen to "Her Body Broken in the Bloody Snow".

This one also has excellent dungeon synth, together with black metal. Very good songs, their only flaw, which pisses me to no end, is the unnecessary effect on the vocals.

Now that I'm typing it out, I guess that what I'm looking for are bands that put emphasis on dungeon synth, but are still metal? But how do I look for more? Is there even a genre that I can search to find more of that?

I don't know subgenres of BM well (sorry, I'm definitely not trve kvlt enough), I tried:

  • Raw BM: this sounds to be typical raw production second wave like Mayhem
  • Melodic BM: seems like pure melodic BM (without death, or punk, etc.) hardly exist. Found good bands, but not what I'm looking for
  • USBM: generally not what I'm looking for
  • Lofi BM: might be the best match? Found Nihilitic Depths - Beneath Forgotten Ruins which is quite similar, but bands described lofi BM don't always correspond

Any help is welcome. Suggestions of bands or albums welcome too. After all, there might not be a name for that.

Thanks
