Tried my first gas cloud harvesting in Eve . It... didn't go too well. Probed and found an unstable wormhole, and jumped right through it. Being in -1.0 sec, it sure does feel lonely to be in unreachable space. I remembered (this time!) to save the wormhole's location, so I wouldn't end up drifting ...

The BBC always takes its picture captions seriously.

Speaking of Lord of the Rings Online , here's my Hobbit burglar earlier today, aside my pet horse, next to a downed oliphaunt, with the partly-ruined Minas Tirith in the background, just after the battle of Pelennor Fields. http://i.imgur.com/pXdNGEo.png The destroyed Mordorian siege ordnance lies s...

Interesting read on how the tactics of Gamergaters should have been seen as a template for the emergence of the alt-right movement . Looking back, Gamergate really only made sense in one way: as an exemplar of what Umberto Eco called “eternal fascism”, a form of extremism he believed could flourish ...

↶ 1. Is the BBC a good source for Real News? 2. Do you think Don J. knows what weight reputation has in the hearts and minds of people from Asian cultures? ⋅ The BBC, in being a taxpayer-funded enterprise, in its news must demonstrably show impartiality towards all political parties, as g...

I just need to get over that 3000 hour mark. Only then, then, it will all be over.

The CIA finally made good on their fifty-five-year plan to assassinate Castro, through a process of allowing him to age naturally.

↶ May I ask? Felstaff; Why did you ask the question? He's giving it the big I am . Like Trump. Reasonable people (generally) can't stand him. Like Trump. Older people (generally) laud him for speaking his mind. Like Trump. He wants to become the unofficial ambassador to the US. Appearing not dissim...

↶ For example, hearing the presenters of Top Gear pronounce Dacia was weird to me, because to me it has always been [ˈdat͡ʃi.a] (thanks, Wikipedia). Wait, you mean that's not how everyone pronounces Dacia? The advertising on UK television pronounces it " datcha ". Like Cleopatra, comin' a...

I need a SteamLock, an invention I just made up, to stop me buying everything on Steam, right now. I just bought Mass Effect--a game I already own --for £1.99. I'm thinking the SteamLock should be a physical room, with no doors or windows. Just a hermetically-sealed box. The texture mapping is simpl...

My 5-day old Eve character managed to simply orbit some kernite for a few days... I haven't encountered any other players in my little 0.4 enclave. My 11-year old Eve character has lost their name! They're simply "Gallente Citizen 21956747". I got a mail saying my PLEX expires in -4,057 da...

A blanket pardon ends the issue and everyone forgets about it in a few months.

I dunno, people are still going on about Nixon's pardon, and that happened 42 years ago. See? See?

I still don't know how I'd draw "dignity" though.

Do you want me to show this to the cat and have the cat tell you what it is? 'Cause the cat's gonna get it.

Genuine question: do USAians give a shit about Nigel Farage? Do they even know who he is?

chrisjwmartin, your noisome immaturity and mule-like whingeing is annoying. Take your tear-streaked face and throw your toys out of another forum's pram (i.e. no more posting in here for you).

Round 1: Draw shark
Round 2: Draw flamingo
Round 3: Draw marker pen
Round 4: Draw dignity
Round 5: Draw peanut
Round 6: Draw skirt

It didn't recognise round 4, even though I drew it perfectly:

Sometimes, I find writing
Really can boustrophedonically
Alter the meaning of
Gibberish writing up end you so things

It's topic-generic, the others are topic-specific. Helps users filter. Standard stickeroo fare.

Found a cure for the etc. problem of the humorous news thread: New sticky thread created. And you're all in it!

I'm sorry that you judge a man's character on one public speech, but it turns out, he's actually spoken words before.

Surely You're Joking Mr Gewoonm.

Again, read the rules... There's even a picture--at the top!--explaining how to list threads numberifically.

I should really add this link in there, too, to make things simpler.

As I'm here, I'll grab a few hours.

↶ http://www.xkcd.com/74/ Shouldn't there be a 0 in the first row first column and a 1 in the second row one so that each rows' and columns' sums equal 1? ↶ (Not sure if you've checked the accepted format for Comic threads starting. I see you've been adding a few recently.) Yes. Monox, please read ...

My guess is Kiwi.

Also, this is fun, but will be more at home in forum games, so I'm shifting it there.

I wholeheartedly agree.

Lock'd.

↶ It said, "The State will no longer pay for Opiates as pain relief for cancer patients;" "Because; That population of people die in greater numbers than the general population." I don't get it. The death rate is 100%. http://i.onionstatic.com/onion/2614/original/304.jpg

The key is to let the tank draw the aggro.

And in this case, by 'tank', I mean 'tank'.

I'd like to know which Chinese tourism company advertised Kidlington, of all places, as the epitome of picturesque England. Everyone knows the real most-Englandy village is Little Whinging.

This week's This American Life has a delightful song sung by Neil Patrick Harris about Paul Ryan's internal monologue.

↶ I'm pretty sure this is the most random news article ever. Kidlington 'mystery tourists' baffle Oxfordshire village. Basically, bus groups of tourists are appearing and taken pictures of people's random houses. They are even the modern ones, rather than the oldey timey ones. Mystery solved .

↶ There is a building somewhere (I don't feel like googling right now) whose side is all glass (windows) and concave, and at the right time of day, it concentrates the sun's rays on the street.

So I've just finished work. It's been a hectic all-hands-on-deck Friday, and crucial people had gone down the pub. I told my team to down tools, go join their colleagues for a tipple, and resume on Monday. I logged off, and went outside in my garden to get a moment's meditation and peace. As I stood...

Have you tried reporting things?

That helps. A lot.

Yes, which I closed without further action. Not due to me being uncaring, but to not seeing anything wrong with the reported posts in question.

I can't believe he lived that long and still didn't get to be president.
