OMG the Frequently Bought Together section!
The Conservatives increased their share of the vote compared to the last election (+7.5%), in particular among younger voters. The Liberals only scraped together just enough for only a minority govt because the vote for other parties plummeted.
Speaking of old navigation methods, there are even some web rings alive and kicking:
Start off with a different search engine:
Or explore some webrings:
A weblog with the best of the web (no idea how those cats got wedged into scanners, though)
A /c (with links to more /cs):
And as others have mentioned:
And once you’ve found an interesting website, follow its feed in a feedreader / newsreader / news aggregator:
That cover of Billie Jean, though. Chills.

Kept with SoA until I tired of the “3 concurrent life-or-death crises” formula, with a new life-or-death crisis introduced each time an older one reached its end.
All principal characters even went to prison for a year, with no such crises for the rest of the MC, and then as soon as they got out, straight back to “3 concurrent life-or-death crises” as usual.
The rest of the MC should have realized “Hey, things were so chill when those guys were away, let’s get 'em sent back”.
Yeah, I tried P&R twice without it clicking for me. Only once I got past season 1 did I begin to enjoy it.
Right, I remember seeing something about motion sickness being related to the mismatch.
Re the organ, Wikipedia says it’s the vestibular system in the inner ear.
That’s it, thanks!
Wikipedia says not NASA but the German Space Agency and European astronauts who went up to Mir did use them for exercise.
Thanks. Several lemmings have given their opinion, and it seems the experience depends on the person.
As someone who gets car sick just looking at a map, I would only try this with a predetermined safe word! :)

Wikipedia says they were used for training astronauts but:
- they weren’t invented for that, actually developed for people with spinal injuries
- they depend on gravity, so can be used in training on earth, but not in space itself
I’ve added Gattaca to the list of films now in my OP.
So far, the 90s scifi movies with an aerotrim we’ve got so far:
- Contact
- Drive
- Fortress
- Gattaca
- Lawnmower Man
- Universal Soldier
Yeah, I assumed it could awfully disorienting.
That looks right. Seems the original name is Aerotrim, but maybe that’s trademarked so I guess other companies use names like gyroscope.
Thanks. How was it?
Yes! Thanks!
Wikipedia even mentions yet another 90s scifi movie I saw it in recently that I forgot had one (e.g. Lawnmower Man).
Have you tried boric acid? I originally used it for cockroaches but I’ve also had success with ants (regular ones, not teeny tiny little ones :) ).
New game:
“AI or Putin? You decide!”
