00:13 < mw> the black forest donut in offbeat is delicious. /cc: blc
03:06 < stesh> is that the place with the delicious-looking donut sign outside Pearse Dart Station?
05:27 < tapirus> it is
05:27 < tapirus> don't like that place, reminds me of burger places like counter
05:29 < tapirus> in that the same way they're obsessed with topping and customisability, to the detriment of an actual decent juicy burger, off beat is a place with a million and one very lovely toppings, but the donut itself is very bland and boring, and identical to the tesco donuts we've been having the last twenty years
05:30 < tapirus> just as I'd rather go to Bunsen and have a simple, but juicy and delicious, hamburger or cheeseburger, I'd much rather go to that tiny donut kiosk on O'Connell Street, and get a plain sugar, but delicious, ring donut there
05:34 < tapirus> David Lynch's Dune is fantastic in its own way, it's terrible as a film, but more than any other adaptation, it captured the whole middle ages, crusades / Renaissance feel of the dune universe perfectly
05:35 < tapirus> If you ignore the terrible pacing, and the weird deviations from the novel (weirding modules etc.) it makes a great visual accompaniment to a renewed reading of the book
