Indeed, when I started at my current job there was a Anglophile guy who was really into the Beatles and other "classic rock" groups. Being from an English speaking country he was keen to talk to me, at length, about music.

After a while I noticed that he never mentioned any groups that even had one woman in the lineup, I started asking his opinion about the likes of Janis Joplin and Heart, and he just kind of locked up.

He will now say a frosty hello to me if I prompt him directly, but that's about it ... he has two daughters who don't talk to him apparently.

Flipside is, having a passport is handy if you want to leave the country ;-)

Because of the existence of Kiwi Fruit?

Take a Bow by Muse works almost too perfectly, too

I looked at smaller things like the Pi and in the end decided I had more flexibility by just having a little PC and bunging Linux on it.

I just got a new smart TV, but it's never going on the internet, lol

Ugh, it's that kind of creepy comment that puts many women off of taking up shooting

I wish they had that here!

Remember that guns that haven't been used for a long time will usually benefit from a clean and re-oil in order to work smoothly ... should you feel the urge to freshen up your skills in the current political climate.

That's a matter of perspective.

I'll show myself out ...

So it's a Lemmy Lemniscate when it's here?

Try saying that three times fast

Boot Liquor is a new one on me, thanks for the tip :-)

This is where a lot of Americana music comes in ... the online station Americana Boogie Radio has lots of defiant working class songs on it's playlist :-)

Hi, Iḿ not in the US, but earlier this year had the opportunity to try shooting firearms of various sorts for the first time, and it's something I'd like expand my knowledge about ... when I go on youtube the videos I've seen have been American with a right-wing lean which range from comedic, through surreal, and into creepy.

It would be nice to see content from people who are vaguely normal.

(Edit: especially if it has to do with revolvers!)

Are there any other shows out there of this sort of lighthearted nature, yet made with quality writing, out there?

It feels like a lot of recent things we've watched has been a bit grim and/or relies on spectacle rather than telling a good story and working a few jokes in along the way ... the world is on fire, I'd like to stop it and get off, if only for a few minutes at a time.
