  • Amazing. That'll confuse people when dropping a random comment in.

    "My money's on the blue team. They're doing really well this season" "I didn't realise you had horse genitals"

  • Everyone has been side lined by the tobacco industry nobody stopped to look at the moisturiser industry.

  • I didn't realise you had horse generals.

  • Perhaps the worms represent the average person, the sticks represent the media and the hands are those of politicians.

  • They're not. They're CIA robots.

  • Sea Gulls don't have hands and can't use sticks like that.

  • I'm not a Scouser and I hate the Sun.

  • Sea Gulls do this but with their feet and not sticks. The worms think it's raining from the sound and come up to the surface to get eaten.

  • I remember that sale and annoyed I didn't buy one. At the time I thought I'd never use it. Fast forward a few years and I occasionally use Steam Link on a Raspberry Pi, so I would have used it. Oh well.

  • Ive had lag once using the Raspberry Pi variant and that was due to using a poor quality usb cable, it was under powering the unit. Aside from that it's been surprisingly fast on ethernet and WiFi.

  • My brother in law used to work in an off licence (booze store) so got to know a number of customers, some of which were drug addicts. They would steal from the local supermarket which was right next door. Things like expensive meats, cheese, coffee, spirits, etc. high value products which are easy to shove in a bag or jacket. They then go and knock on the door of anybody they remotely know who lives nearby, ask if they want to buy some cheap goods. Often about 50% off.

    I know people who would buy this stuff. It's usually stuff straight from the shop but I suppose you can never say for sure.

  • The fishing thing is a good example of how Brexit was handled. Fishing has been stirred up by the media for decades causing some strong feelings against the French and Europe. While fishing is pretty meaningless for the average person it became important because people who read certain newspapers thought it was important. That, to me, seems like the backbone of Brexit. Shite from newspapers.

    I'm convinced all the talk about fishing was to stir up these feelings in the public and use it to the politicians will. Raising it with the EU was a message to the people that their concerns are being addressed. Illusion of the people having power.

    Speaking to people who voted to leave I had answers like fishing given. Other answers were that people didn't like talking orders from Brussels, that was more common than fishing. Some racist comments (some REALLY racist). And one person claiming after Brexit he will get gold capped milk back (apparently the EU banned his favourite milk, and that alone was worth leaving the EU...). I know a few people who didn't know what to vote for so went with the "default" to leave. I'm assuming they meant they just followed the crap in the news and didn't apply proper thought.

    This media bollocks is still happening now. I saw the other day an article about being able to buy wine in pints. Sigh.

    It really was a shit show and still is!

  • I've not noticed any problems with Google myself but I just did the same search you did. It brought up Google maps at the top, quite helpful as it showed local photographers. But as I went down to the results the only one in my local area was the top result. The rest were things like photographers in Majorca, Peterborough, a random motorcycle website.

    I've never noticed how broken Google is until now.

  • Replacement batteries should be a legal requirement. My 5 year old android phone needed a new battery and people kept telling me to get a new one as the phone is old anyway. It still does what I need so why should I get a new one just because of a battery.

    I ended up taking the phone apart myself and replacing it. Wasn't easy and took me over 2 hours.

    I'm up for anything which keeps phones working for longer. Such a waste of money and resources for what should be a simple job.

  • Oh nice. I have a Mario Bros game watch. Think it's from 86 or something like that.

  • I maintain a Linux server at work which has our ERP on it (I wouldn't say I'm great at it but know the basics). I use Linux at home for a few projects and things like routers, etc. My daily PC at home is Windows. I like Linux but the issues I've had in the past, while they can be resolved, generally take up more time that I'm willing to put in. I don't want a hobby just to keep my PC working.

  • Then plug in a DVD player which will probably do the same thing.

  • There's a BBC documentary hosted by him called Earth. It's really worth a watch, I highly recommend it.
