The Thread Of Randomness

There's a reason why even cats only have nine lifes.

Richard Hammond has more than nine lives.

If there is freedom the people will kill each other.
If there is no freedom the people will get upset. The people who are upset will die faster.
Conclusion? The death is unavoidable...

Ah, I see you too subscribe to Jaden Smith school of thought.

No, I didn't. Just personal thinking. I never heard him. This is a kind of spoiler.

I have troubles. I tried to exit some wikipedia articles and I received this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk ... obal_locks. My wikipedia account is 1193 ALEX. I can't fully understand what they say. I am really scared.

Well Drmies seems to have the right idea, it's nothing to worry about. Someone probably reverted your edits for some arbitrary reason like it happens on wikipedia.

Most trees are blue, my brother.

Oh, thank God!

This was yesterday in Romania:

So hot: over 40°C (about 105°F) in Romania. My county noted as BR (Brăila) was affected too...

While playing on a SA:MP server I heard discussed about a player having about 1000 FPS. There were rumors that that player had Intel i9 (did you know this exists? - the geeks on the server didn't) other player thought he had fakefps ( someone said this doesn't exist). Opinions?

It exists!

Well, now I can see why Wikipedia shall never be cited...

[ALEXbr]

I know it exists, I wrote it as a fact of "did you know that..."
Tomorrow I will go to a scholar camp.
And I don't like that stuff from Tapatalk that automatically adds at the end of a message "Sent by Tapatalk using my Cellphone model". I had to go full edit and uncheck that...

@YNM , What do you mean? I just wanted to correct some old unupdated to actual reality names.

I'm in the middle of arranging something that needs a large space. So far I am trying Sports Centres and Churches, and asking if there is a chance to rent out their main halls.
Going well so far, but to give me more options, can anyone think of anywhere else that has large halls that may be rentable?

Looking at hosting a miniature fighting robot tournament, so it also needs to be a place that will have insurance already, we're working with tiny things, but they can still throw up unpredictable and potentially hazardous debris, we'll have a polycarbonate wall (a thinner version of that used on Robot Wars) to contain it, but there is always the chance of accidents...

Antweight robots look like this, that, and a little bit of this too. Antweight robots all fit in a 4by4 inch square, they're really dangerous, but that spinner can still throw things around! - Beetleweights are a little bigger.

We'll be trying to make a day out of it, somewhere between York & Sheffield (inclusive) is where we're looking at, so as well as the battles, we'll have little events like sumo, fastest through an obstacle course etc, something to make a day out of it and charge the spectators £2 for the day to recoup costs. I doubt renting an entire hall from a sports centre for a day will be cheap!

[Chrill]

Schools have gym halls, those are usually available for rent during weekends in Sweden.

That's a good point, I imagine schools have all sorts of insurance in place already too. Might give some local schools calls then!

Some amusing geography by the Daily Mail.

Take a close look at the map showing the route taken by the plane Putin was on.

Don't see it? Poland has apparently invaded Finland

Well I finally Got my computer the way I like it. It's been a while since I've been on here.

That desk is far too cluttered for my liking, I would end up elbowing something constantly.

In comparison, here's my (work) desk... please excuse my Breakfast!

I usually just use the mouse past the monitors so I have room to move the mouse.

So this happened.

Just found I have an Amazon Wishlist, with items in there dating from 2006 and 2002, many of which I now own anyway. I felt kind of bad removing the item from 15 years ago!

[Pyoro]

I ordered a copy of some novel ... 5 years or so ago? Every few months I get a "we're still trying to get this item" mail. I mostly left the order alone for my amusement ^^;

[orudge]

It's just occurred to me that in the 18 years or so that I've owned/played Transport Tycoon Deluxe, I've never played a "proper" Toyland game.

I'm not sure if I ever will.

Maybe I should introduce my daughter to it though, she might like that. She was playing some kind of SimCity-type game on her tablet the other week, so she might like playing the normal climates too to be fair!
