Yeah the "we didn't start shagging until he was 19, honest" comes from schofield himself. IIRC there were rumours he was seen being far too close to him already when he was 15.

Then again if the first lady of France can get away with it, well.

When women do it, the right just go "Whooaaaarrrrrrr where was she when I was 14 eh lads eh eh"

TBF, even Bellingcat (which is very pro-Ukrainian) is starting to put out threads going 'oh hey there sure are a lot of neo-Nazis at the core of these much-hyped military operations'.

One of the guys running the anti-Putin border insurgency, for instance, sells the Christchurch manifesto in his online store ands seems to be fighting Russia because he doesn't think it's racist enough.

UK goons: is what's happening with the SNP normal for police investigations? What's the point of "arresting" someone just to interview them and let them go? It feels like an intimidation tactic, but one that would only work on people who don't actually have financial and legal resources.

Any of youse know of anyone that makes a combination VHS/DVD/Bluray player? I've had to fight the rats nest at the back of my dad's TV today and condensing some of it into one HDMI and one power cable would do minor wonders for it.

So the Sub the billionaires paid millions to go to the bottom of the ocean in is a cobbled together piece of poo poo operated by a Logitech Mad Katz game controller lmao

Hey I have that controller! Good construction but it's wireless only and I wouldn't trust its connection as far as I can throw it. That explains everything, they tried a tricky maneuver around some rocks and it lagged out and they crashed right into them

Should have gone for the wired one idiots lol

So for more detail, that pad is the F710. It's s decade and a half old design at least and they're still selling it, far as I can tell unchanged. Its predecessor, the F510, was lovely, I used it for years, and I'd still be using it if the right stick click hadn't worn out playing Dark Souls. I struggled with the F710 for a few months before giving up. Its wireless was intolerably laggy. I don't know whether it was getting interference or what.

If you want a good, recent controller, go for an 8bitdo, not that crap.

In that sense yes you could probably make a simple rugged system which has firmware which is specifically programmed to only read/write the HID protocol and convert it to some whatever signal, and have that replaceable, I doubt it would be a spacious system. The wireless is more concerning, more because this guy seems like he's the type of guy whose idea of a rugged DAC is a raspberry pi that he put together one day because it comes with a wifi receiver.

Ha, it would need a USB port too, the F750 only talks to its own dedicated wifi receiver.

So I'm looking for some help, regarding memes. I'm trying to explain pictorial memes to a group of people who know gently caress all about the internet, Twitter etc.

I'm trying to find a good example of an image meme which everyone who understands it gets it, but which might be fairly opaque from the outside. Ones like Leo pointing at the screen or the roll safe meme aren't ideal as they kinda suggest something from the image itself.

Something like that picture of Baddiel in blackface people post whenever he decides he's the racism understander is probably a good example. But I'm looking for an example that's less contentious. Can anyone think of one?

Loss, maybe one of the more abstract versions of it

They're all coming out of the woodwork to defend privatisation now. Probably because water somehow manages to be even stupider than energy in the way it was done, so a big failure is a good focal point for nationalisation talk.

Not sure why they're worried - nobody's going to win the next election and nationalise anything anyway.

I still can't get over they used a loving bluetooth controller. The PS2 wired gamepad interface has been reverse engineered and used in arduino projects for like a decade and it's just so much more reliable

It wasn't even bluetooth, it was wifi and only talked to its own specific receiver. And it doesn't even communicate with that consistently.
