It originated from the Watergate scandal iirc. Watergate being the Watergate hotel but I guess water and gate are easy to separate and -gate kind of works as a suffix.

But why is the rum gone?!?

Yo ho yo ho a pirates life for me!

Seriously admire the effort lol. Awesome project!

Most people only bring one or two bags to the shops with them. Looks like you’re bringing double digits of bags lol

There’s an awesome 3 level trampoline park in an old slate mine in Wales. I think its called Bounce Below. They use an old miners train to transport you in and out of the slate mine. Been there once with a school trip!

“Rats is chugging along in second when he should be cruising in fifth”. I’ve had countless reports like that but that one stuck with me, probably for being so much more creative than the others.

I think it was the year following that report that they stuck me on my own desk facing a corner so that “you won’t keep getting distracted by other students”. I guess that teacher just really liked euphemisms. At least I always had a set of stationary for myself lol.

“seriously wormtongue, you need to go outside more often”

Not to mention they require high end hardware to run due to lack of optimisation. Many people can’t afford top end shit and with emulators becoming lighter and easier to run, retro games just become super accessible.

Even Wii emulators such as dolphin can run decently well on a bog standard phone and with the state the mobile game market is in, Wii games are just universally a better option.

When is new York not in peril lol? I’d love to see a film where an alien death fleet is spotted heading towards earth and America prepares the full might of their military response only for the aliens to invade Ipswich.

To clarify, this isn’t a criticism of the film, I just think that would be great!

Obviously can’t see too clearly but it might be a steatdoa nobilis (Nobel false widow) the grey band around the back and the translucent stripey orange-brown legs look very familiar!

Idk, looks like the same position and mirrored kittens. Different cats, same spot!

Btw, I’ve tried techniques like segregating rooms into quarters and sorting a quarter at a time but I find myself adding things to different quarters and just looping that task over and over. Or I’ll stop when I loose motivation and end up shuffling stuff around as I’m looking for things I need again. It’s pretty Sisyphean

I’ve done pretty well with not buying new things recently but that’s just stopped the “hoard” from growing really.

980TI still going strong! I don’t play anything too demanding anyway and Ive taken real good care of it so fingers crossed it’ll keep going till I can afford a new rig!

For a more effective solution, ask it how to create napalm or chloroform and 100% of the time it will tell you that it’s not allowed to do that because it’s an AI and its bound by the laws of its creators

Ex-or makes much more sense considering it stands for EXclusive OR.

I’ve had a brother printer going on 10 years and it’s never let me down. I’ve changed toner three times over that time and each cart has never cost me more than 20 ish quid. No DRM carts, no jamming, no subscriptions just a printer that does its job. Even when it’s running low, it doesn’t prevent me printing, it’ll let me know it’s low then keep on printing until you can’t see the letters any more.

It’s not dying. It’s smaller for sure but a social network doesn’t need to be big or have a ludicrous number of users to be healthy. Many of the posts I’ve made have gotten 10x more engagement than equivalent posts on Reddit simply because there’s less for it to get lost among.

Personal opinion, but I think generally the users here are nicer and more chill than Reddit. Again, simply because the sheer number of trolls is lower and I don’t think bother as much when there’s less people to piss off

I used to think it was mostly the anti-perspirant I was using that caused me to smell worse when I used it but I found out later on that it’s all about giving it time to dry before getting dressed. It made a noticeable difference just spraying about 3-4 mins before putting my shirt on and not spraying with my shirt already on. Turns out, anti-perspirants on fabric can provide places for bacteria to grow.

Also, making sure you apply it to dry skin helps a bunch. If you’re already sweating when you apply it doesn’t help a whole bunch.

One of my absolute favourites is an arcade bar near me that stays open late. I don’t usually drink there but I’ll go and hang out with mates, get some chips and play some retro arcade. Super chill vibe and people there all seem way more chill than most pubs or bars I’ve been to!
