They only choose the ones that agree with the makers point. You have 4-5 gammons here, completely gammon mad and brain worms. Guaranteed click bait winner. How many others were interviewed and poo poo on the conservatives or said they would vote labour.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-63788730 Peanut allergies: Parents worry after Palforzia drug sales flop Oh, its the PARENTS that are worrying a $500 dollar drug isn't selling. The parents. Not the drug company, its the PARENTS quote:But the drug seems to have flopped commercially after lower-than-expected uptake among doctors, according to Nestlé. Why are Nestle in this, maybe its due to the nuts in their sweets and... quote:Just two years after packaged-food giant Nestlé bought the manufacturer of Palforzia They own it. But its the PARENTS that are worried that they cant find $500 medicine handy. FFS at least make an effort to cover up the paid for articles.

Just found out the local council in my home town in NI won't put on any christmas lights, tree or have a Santa appear in the town. Which is a first for decades, they have done it since the 60s. Instead the local businesses are grouping together to do a mini version Turns out there is no money for them, anyone elses local town having the same? happyhippy fucked around with this message at 01:21 on Dec 7, 2022 |

Only got access to my meter recently after 10 years. In a block of apartments, and all the electricity meters for the 8 of us are in one place. As it was locked up by the landlord, for privacy and security, and if we wanted a reading he would send us a pic of our meter and so see none of the others. But recently he just went 'gently caress it' and its open for us all to gawk at. And its weird the differences between us. I live alone, and I know there are more in more apartments, but poo poo some of them must running weed farms as well as bitcoin rigs with how vastly more they use.

These were a 'fad' back in the 70s in Ireland, everyone had them and were making them. My gran had a really draughty house, so had a few of these about the place, and as a 2yo at the time I would be loudly swore at if I moved them BUT I WANTED TO PLAY WITH THEM

We stopped caring about wrapping paper years ago, so dont bother. gently caress, the most we would do is take of the price tag and change the bag it was bought in to a plain one so you couldn't tell where it was bought. Sorta said story, had some cousins that were babies at the time, and mum bought them presents, wrapped them, and sat there waiting for them to call to collect them. We didn't know at the time that their father/mother were hating/jealous of us for something else going on in the family, so the toys were not collected. They sat in our loft for 5 years until the next set of kids were of the right age to use them. Just tore the wrapping paper off it and they looked brand new, and gave it.

Its all ReformUK in the comments. The Tories aren't cruel enough for the gammons of GBNews any more. And seeing Farage is on GBNews playing armchair general and captain hindsight every day on it, all the gammons think hes a prophet and new leader. Hes proclaiming Britain isn't working, but it hasn't even been a year since he was doing shows all over the gammon enclaves in a fake pub setting, saying how swell Brexit was going for everyone.

Covid chat. Our company christmas party was Thursday a week ago. Some gently caress came loaded up with it, didn't tell anyone. I work two days in the office, came in two days ago. There is a team who are always there, and strange none of them are in for both days. Got poked outside work chat asking why I was in the office. Work seems have decided to totally ignore it and not tell anyone. Everyone for themselves, gently caress going in for the next few weeks.

Scrooge decided to hire a local priest to exorcise his place. Now knowing one of Cracthit's kids will die soon, meaning he will have no home distractions and one less mouth to feed/clothe, Scrooge can cut his pay and make him work longer. The new year is looking good for old Ebb.

TACD posted:On a different note, I found a box full of old videogame manuals in my parents' attic (mostly PC and NES)— is there a specific collector's site or anything I should use to give them to somebody who'll value them? Somebody on the Discord already mentioned checking if they're on the internet archive which I'll do first. Could be, boxes of games from the 80s can go for a lock of quid each. Instruction manuals are rarer so may be worth a few quid. Havent a clue where to start though sorry.

Bobby Deluxe posted:Again this is something of a sore spot for me, because I love gaming, and it loving sucks on a whole other level to really be enjoying a game, and then just get to that one point you can't get past - especially when there's no difficulty to lower or accessibility options to switch. Totally understand this, personally I'm an achievement hunter and try to 100% games (30k+ ach points in WoW and rising so far), but there are some games that I will happily just go 'gently caress no', not worth the bother for the bullshit they coded. Your example there is a good one, a QTE, is just a timing changer between difficulties, and sure thats complete bullshit when its not evident when you will be doing it. AI difficulty is the same. Most AI implementations will have one value that ranges from 0-1 (0-100%) for combat, and the higher it is, the more easier it hits you. Easy mode will be 0.1, Insane Nightmare, 0.9 or 1.0. And gently caress games that do this, as you need different tactics for even 0.9 to 1.0 where they hit you before you come around the corner. happyhippy fucked around with this message at 17:46 on Dec 29, 2022 |
