Simply random stuff

For curious Canadians who order discs from the US, here's a Q&A I had with ImportCDs today:

Q: I went to place an order to be shipped to Canada, but Canada no longer comes up as a country on the drop down menu. Is this because of the recent postal strike (which is now over), or the tariffs (which are now on hold)? Something else? I also have a pre-order due around March 7, will that still be sent?

A: Due to the announcement of tariffs on shipments from the USA, we have paused accepting orders from Canada. We will resume once we can safely collect and remit taxes to the Canadian government. Please note the order is currently on hold an email notification will be provided as soon more information becomes available.

In India a tiger chased a wild boar into a well, both were rescued unharmed.

If you watch it you can spot when they realised they were being given a way out

That made me nervous. I was afraid they would slide that door shut and cut off the tiger's tail.

I notice we got to see the tiger back in the wild, but not the wild boar. I wonder how many people ate at the feast? though being India with a lot of vegetarians maybe they did release it.

I wonder what the odds are of at least one of them having a health issue and needing to cancel the show. I'd imagine almost 50/50.

If they really wanted to make me happy, they would announce that their "original 8" were all being released in Atmos on BR.

Never occurred to me that this pose is essentially in alphabetical order. Butler, Iommi, Osbourne, Ward

Wait a minute @GOS I thought the final show was going to be at your house......

I think it is very weird on QQ. Do you?
1. People down playing a new release before they have even heard it.
2. People start talking about the next batch before the current batch even arrives.
3. People going on poll threads and saying "just popped it in and sounds great, or not great".
4. People who think it is cool to talk about what is wrong about a recording than what is right.

I know it's just the internet and taking things seriously is not a good idea.

That all said, @JohnN pictures above made me very hungry, I wish I could have that meat for Super Bowl.
