Somewhere up in high orbit sounds fine. In space nobody can hear you scream, not even Trump.

he should never be allowed in this country again.

I’d appreciate not dumping your garbage on somebody else’s doorstep, thank you very much.

Unfortunately in my country HBO was only available as an add-on, so you’d need an expensive cable subscription you didn’t want and then pay extra for the concent you’d actually wanted to see. Pretty bad deal.

When I moved out my first decision was to not get cable anymore. Streaming wasn’t even a factor in that decision as Netflix was only just starting here. I just didn’t care about all the drivel broken up by increasingly long commercial blocks. Lack of quality killed TV for me, not streaming.

Absolutely not, as that would mean my company violates my country’s privacy laws. In my field of work there is no valid reason for wearing a body cam.

If only. 😞 My ADHD-I brain often just decides that that is the thing we are going to focus our attention on, because apparently it’s preferable to be bloody annoyed by some stupid sound than to get actual work done.

Steep fines. I’ll be sure to wear protective gear, should I ever have the opportunity to visit Ukraine on motorbike. 😅

They stop trying

Shit, that hits hard, this is so me. I’ve never realised this can also be part of ADHD, I’ve always thought this was just because I’ve been bullied a lot in my youth and the resulting self-esteem issues. Guess I might be double blessed. 😅

Thanks for sharing this!

I seriously doubt if the radiation perv scanner doesn’t get people to do anything

You mean the backscatter X-ray units that have already been phased out 10 years ago?

The modern milimeter-wave scanners both do not reveal anything and do not use ionising radiation. If radiation is a concern to you, you really shouldn’t be flying at all to be honest. The dose you get up there is much higher than you’d get from an X-ray scanner, although it is still negligible.

RIP my LG robovac. Dutifully cleaning and mapping my house without having any kind of wireless connection ability whatsoever. Until it mistook my stair for just another dark corner. 😭

If it’s written in the law, it’s lawful. You can of course (and should!) debate about the morality of the diverse forms of lawful interception, but a blanket statement like ‘“lawful interception” is a fallacy’, is a fallacy in of itself.

I completely agree that sex crimes cannot be tolerated. So, when can we expect those apologies for forcing women and girls into sexual slavery as ‘comfort women’ ? 🤔

As in: it just self-propelled itself sky-high?

Unreal only had a single Automag though, so either you are thinking of Unreal Tournament or you played on a modded server. Some servers did have dual automags (I’ve still got a mod and mutator lying around to get them in single player as well) and dual Automags (Enforcer in Unreal Tournament) did indeed dish out major punishment.

This doesn’t even faintly resemble German, so I doubt that.

So good job by the dutch?

Yes, if this was Dutch. It isn’t though, looks like Afrikaans to me.

Yes, how could I forget Deus Ex. Incredible story and again such a wonderful soundtrack, not surprising as it was also composed Alexander Brandon, Michiel van den Bos, and Dan Gardopee.

As for Half-Life, that game was also something else. But part of me resents that game a bit because it overshadowed Unreal. 😋

The original Unreal. For me it was a perfect combination of beautiful graphics (back in the days of course) and a soundtrack which complemented and elevated the atmosphere of that game. And the gunplay was nice, with a collection of somewhat unconventional weapons. A relic from a time where developers were not afraid to experiment a bit.

Time to install FreeSpace Open again. 😄 For those who have managed to miss that project: it’s a completely rebuilt engine for FS2. Together with the MediaVPs from The FreeSpace Upgrade Project it makes the game look pretty modern again. Take a look at https://wiki.hard-light.net/index.php/Getting_started if you need instructions.

I believe even there is even a mod available which allows playing the first FreeSpace in FSO.

And I think technically his shoes were still on. So just a flesh wound, walk it off buddy.
