Re: New Forum Layout
I posted I quite like the new forum, then my message went to the ether but never made it to the board. So trying again, it's cleaner than the long in the tooth phpBB forum, but loses a bit more of the originals charm (by original I mean the one from yee oldie days long before vast majority of curren...

I'm also a little (quite a lot) disappointed in it appearing to be a FPS, I quite like FPS games but, I suppose I was hoping for a Cyberpunk version of Witcher 3. that slow constant speed of turning, noone does such things, it's not natural. That depends what they're using to control the game. If th...

Haven't touched a drop in over 18 years, I used to drink like a fish in my younger days. I stopped drinking for no other reason than I forgot to drink, I decided after getting lathered the night before my bothers wedding to give it a rest for a week, that week turned into a month, a year, a few year...

Banks novel 'Matter' is a great stand alone I'd 2nd Muppets suggestion, Matter was the last book I read I loved it start to finish, I'm reading 'Surface Detail' at the moment (nearing the end) and it was slower start but loving it now. Can't remember who recommended the Culture series by Ian M Bank...

.. It is different, in that Egosoft isn't firing adverts at me, or harvesting my data as aggresively as Facebook and the other social media sites. If they were I'd stop using it. I worry sometimes that it might either die, or be bought up by a social media company, which would be the same thing as ...

Yes I use it, when you have friends and family scattered to the four winds it's useful. In defence of social media / facebook etc, how many people check in on this forum constantly? and for how long have we been coming here? facebook is no different in that respect, just instead of a gaming communit...

Dankula was always going to be made an example of, his video was obviously a joke. What I find worrying is that what is 'grossly offensive' is decided not by the person making a joke or the person listening to the joke but is based on someones interpretation of a vaguely worded law. I'm offended eve...

I've always went with similar line of thought to Paul Knibbs, buy decent and expect it to last for years, well I'm onto my 2nd Logitech G602, 1st one side button plastic broke and this one has a dodgy tactile switch on the middle mouse button which seeing as I'm almost certainly out of warranty mean...

.. It's also worth noting that most people who state they have a weapon for "home defense" store it in ways that make it practically inaccessible an impractical in a "home defense" situation. Those things happen quick. But, on the flip-side, making it too accessible, possibly making it easy for chi...

My main gripe is that this professional 'victim' feels she gets to define what 'reasonable adjustments to provide equal access' is, i.e. a personal interpreter. as stated she refused the carer space which could be deemed to be 'reasonable adjustments'. personally I'd have handed her a print out of t...

... The scotch locks are not really intended as a permanent connection (IMHO), one of the problems is with how they crimp on, they can damage the original wire, once removed they also leave a break in the insulation. My main problem with them however it's little better than stripping the wire and w...

I've wired up a few towbar and lighting sockets on cars, the options are as far as I'm concerned. 1) Scotch locks, plastic crimps that tap into an existing cable, I don't like these personally, they are fine for a temporary join and I've never had one fail tho that might be because I don't trust the...

Also you misrepresented the quote It is non-negotiable.
