We need a group name for people who post on The Carrier.

In the old days we were Millarworlders – what are we now?

Carriers?

Carrierers?

Carrierists?

    My eyes are blurry and I can’t read shit and the login tho the Carrier was like that maze in the Harry Potter Movie with the apple-cheeked Bat-boy. Is it Chrome? Is Google the only one with very-light-grey-on-white text that cannot be changed? Or – is it me? Am I going computer-blind? Are all other colors in nature just fine (with changing leaves) and pretty, yet only this communication style tends to fade?Don’t query about high contrast, that resets everything EXCEPT THE TEXT IT NEEDS TO CHANGE!

    Do other browsers do this? Or, really – is it just me?

    What are the rules for a digital photograph when you apply for an e-visa? Do you need an official passport photograph or can you just upload any picture you have on your computer?

    I’ve been making a bucket list of countries I want to see before I die, but for some I need a visa, and I hate that process. The big ones (literally) are China, India and Russia.

    It has to follow certain rules (clear photo of head and shoulders against a flat pale/white background, and the usual rules about neutral expressions and nothing obscuring the face), but yes, just a home-taken photo. I took mine on my phone.

    The last time I needed a passport photo, I went to a small store on lower Broadway that sold cigarettes, lottery tickets, newspapers, and passport photos. I don’t think the proprietor went to Passport Photo School, he just had the right equipment to issue the right size of photos instantly.

    I noticed earlier, while looking at the profile page of a friend, that Facebook was putting people I’d blocked years ago in the “hey, look at all the mutual friends you have with these people, why not befriend them” bit. Which is rather concerning.
    .
    In this instance it wasn’t too much of a problem, it was just a few ex-colleagues who probably don’t even remember me and that I pre-emptively blocked because I didn’t want to talk to them outside of work. But, there are several members of the more toxic side of my family that I also blocked ages ago and I’d most definitely not want them to be able to see me on there. As I started poking around into it, it stopped happening, though I’m not sure if it was due to anything I did.
    .
    Has anyone else noticed this?

    Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to say goodbye to our good friend Millarworld and commit its data to the Wayback Machine..
    We will now read from the 16th chapter of the Revelation to St. Urbaine the Lexicographer:

    And the programmer receivedeth the thirty-fourth rule from The Lord. And he spoketh with trembling “This beith a fearsome rule, yet who can knoweth the mind of our Lord, Berners-Lee? And yea,this beith the thirty-fourth rule: if it existieth there beith porn of it” And I heardeth a wicked man shotingeth from the deep web “Beith not our Lord Al Gore?” And the programmer saideth to me: “Reply!” And I rebukedeth the wicked man who beith in the deep web: “Haveth thou not readeth the Epistle of St. Snopes, where the Apostle declareth clearly that this beith a heresy?! How can one sayeth that St. Gore is our Lord? Away with ye! Thou deserveth the perdition of the dark web”

    I wouldn’t have thought so no, as there’s no real “adaptation” going into merch (certainly not printing a picture on a mug). And Disney doesn’t really count as “literature” to begin with.

    Are you kidding?! I’d pay good money to see the original DRACULA dubbed with Winnie the Pooh’s voice.

    Oh, bother!

    Apparently Rumi is one of the best selling poets across the world…I wonder how many poets can live from their work. I think Gar said even Seamus Heaney didn’t really sell a lot of his work. I think T.S. Eliot also didn’t really sell a lot while he was alive.

    Yeah poetry sells like shit.

    If Rumi is selling millions good luck to him, I hope he gets a good movie deal.

    (Yes I am joking and realise he died many centuries ago).

    Honestly Rumi is fantastic. Although the translation I have is a free translation, I think most of his works rhymes in Persian but the translation is in free verse. Funy that the most read poet in the US is Iranian!

    With the joys of austerity my hometown local council can’t afford to put up Christmas lights any more, so the local rugby club has volunteered and is looking for donations. Luckily the little town has friends in high places.

    Don’t vote Tory.

    He’s presented as a “Persian” poet, and I’m not sure lot of Americans realize that Iran was Persia. Even if they consciously do, I think there’s a subconscious break in continuity between “Persia” and “Iran” either due to the name change under the Shah, or the Iranian Revolution, or (and most likely) both.
