@zapatos, look whats on peoples minds  

Happy New Year! I hope the remaining 360 days treat you as well as the first 6. 

You too Hyper, all the best to you and your family.

Ahh, family bliss...

Well, after getting rid of ESET I'm stuck with using Windows Defender. IT looks like its downloading definitions often, we'll see.

AVG is just one of many free downloads.
Others that come to mind, Avast and Avira.

I used to use Avast and AVG over the years, the new win defender looks pretty good actually. I did some controlled tests and it prevented simulated attacks from my server downtown. I have a psychological problem using any antivir software now after having to rollback every day for 3 weeks due to the ESET issue. Im sure I will cure myself eventually though, thanks for the tips MigL.

Right. I would be really surprised if someone actually used the nr 2 meaning from that dictionary. But then again it might turn out that I will be in for a surprise. 

I know this is late to the party, but I would say turn up if speaking in first person. The example given in nr 2 of your link reads perfectly fine to me though. I believe the main difference is how many people you are referring to. I cannot think of an example where you would use turn out to refer to one person. Also, generally speaking there is a difference in the implication of something that is planned (as in turned out) vs something that came about unexpectedly (as in turned up), although this is not so much the case in the way you have used it here. 

That's it. It eluded me somehow that when referring to a big crowd, "turn out" is fine to use - now I realize I heard it and red it multiple times. I asked a native Canadian who teaches English and he only came up with it the next day. English is weird at times.

Koti, at least the JarJar Binks one had personality and identity. The new one constantly breaks the fourth wall and feels more like a Star Wars advertisement than an actual proper film.

Not to mention Koti, the original star wars felt much more engineery and physical. This new one just feels like a kids movie with Disney physics.

Sure, whatever you say quickquestion.

The difference between these androids and you is that these androids need a real paradox to get tilt. You, OTOH just need a slight confusion in meaning of words. 👿

Thats it, I’m reporting you!

😂

Reporting1 or Reporting2?😋

Not really a paradox …
Either we realise wrong ( one life or two ? )
Or Confucius was confused.

How about yourself ?
Are you and the family all doing good ?

Were fine, I guess. Almost a month of isolation is taking its toll but were healthy and financially secure. In previous weeks we were taking the car once a week and went to remote places for long walks but yesterday they locked everything up with risk of huge fines so thats over. Which is a good thing, I guess. How are things going where you are?

Lockdown is not as severe.
We can still go for walks or car rides.
And I don't know anyone who is infected - yet.

Underhanded sentimentality ?

More a cynical joke but a little of that too.

heh

I'll have to buy one of these for myself so that I can see what all the fuss is about.  Surely there is a world which cannot be explained by fancy mathematics....?

I'm getting these for my kid but just between me and you - we know who they're for.

One of the best laughs I've ever had in my life (literally falling off the couch) was watching an episode of Da Ali G Show. Interviewing some very serious FBI guy, and repeatedly saying "FB", to which the oblivious agent would correct "I" ("aye").

So brilliant. Looking forward to the new series.

The guns for kids was scary and funny in the same time. "He died doing what I love" This hit me hard 

„He died doing what I love” was overkill, I can’t parse that these people took the bait without blinking an eye...all the references to Harvey Milk as his kid, Blink182 (as a drug IIRC) and a few more went without notice. Scary and hilarious at the same time, I think Sasha B Cohen hit the jackpot with this show, it can appeal to both liberals and the conservatives especially the younger generation. I’ve heard equally good opinions about this show from both sides of polarized Americans. Note that he’s making fun of the „libtards” too and its all equally funny, the dolphin relationship story and „free bleeding” are equally funny.

Very good interview. Thank you.

At about 37 minutes they start discussing the 'illusion' of free will.
Eise might be interested in that part of it.
I found the whole thing quite interesting; thanks for sharing.

Eise might be interested in that part of it.

That's exactly what I thought.

He also mentions the G word near the end of the interview. I didn't know Susskind gave any thought to those questions.

And a happy new years to all the reference frames out there from this one  

You too mate. Best wishes to all for a less crappy year. 

The combination of Attenborough presenting and the BBC are probably peerless in nature documentaries.

I love Attenborough’s voiceover, plus Hans Zimmer does the soundtrack. The director of photography though...this series will surely get some awards.

Yep, they’re concerned about a few thousand imigrants from Syria which never came but they’re blind to raping the Constitution by the the puppet president, taking control over the High Court by the ruling party and destroying the media both TV and Radio by putting their people everywhere who preach propaganda which Kim Jong Un would be proud of. Did I mention alienating EU and the rest of the world and moving towards Putin’s „open arms” and glorifying Rydzyk who is a catholic priest in the richest 100 in Poland. His pupils from his „media school” are hired in all media stations controlled by the government, in fact there is nothing more to fuck up...except maybe not vaccinating everybody so we can all have ourselves a nice pandemic. 

I agree with you on all points. The only thing that saddens me is your attitude (or what I think is your attitude) about this.

No country is perfect and yes, those are all valid points but don't be so grim. I am an expat (ex-pet?) living here for the last 6 years and to be honest I have not experienced discrimination. Quite the opposite. People were always interested because I was a polar bear.  Poland is cool koti. Don't loose hope!

Sure, Im a pessimist. Im sure if I were born in Denmark I’d be complaining too... about how outrageous lack of free root canal procedure is  

@Sensei, My drone is 570gr take off mass with a 600gr regulated take off mass limit where Im at. That leaves 30gr for diamonds, weed, coke or plutonium as for transporation options. As for sandwitches its an open market, you could make us some that would be great.

What kind of range ?
Transatlantic ?
Send some diamonds my way.
Have no use for weed or coke.
( but if Dimreepr keeps arguing with me, I may need a critical mass of Plutonium )

The range is 18km advertised but they clip it down for Europe so Ive flown 2,4km yesterday to my buddies house and went back because it told me to. Transatlantic wouldn’t do on my ~30 minute flight battery (34 advertised) but we could meet somewhere inbetween. im open for sugestions. Diamonds yes. I too have no use for weed and coke (anymore) so its either ice or plutonium for me. As for @dimreepr, just let it go, hes got big feet anyway. 

Will probably watch it this weekend - nearly went yesterday. Looking forward to it!   

Be sure to choose a cinema with good speakers, the music and sound effects are absolutely stunning. The visuals are a work of art as well.

Oh, but what a way to go.

Sounds like your Christmas was good, all the best for the New Year

Managed to digest it all and survive. It’s a nasty tradition around here, you sit and eat for 3 days straight. All the best in the New Year to you too MigL.

I can't imagine you would get much of a return betting on a J Biden win right now.
Betting on a D Trump win would be a long shot, and get you some real good odds.
But you'd still be throwing away money.

And I would think the GOP pays for the lawsuits.
D Trump should not have even been allowed to use the White House as his election headquarters. That is illegal ( but what's one more illegality after 4 years of them ).

I was ironically referring to "betting on Nevada" as in Nevada being the state which doesn't loose when it comes to bets (Vegas)
Anyway, congratulations to all of us for USA's new president!

LOL! How the (gaming) tables have turned! 😜

 LAST VISITED: August 28   - Good question. Her/His absence is actually pretty noticeable.

• LAST VISITED

  August 28

yes

A bit like Burlusconi's facelifts.  

That sums it up purfectly.

Is there a reason for it besides the obvious UK/US thing?

'incy wincy' is the beginning of a child's poem.  I notice, on searching, there's 'eensy weensy' and 'itsy bitsy' spider poems as well. 

Probably just because of particular poems where they originated.

Confirms my initial predictions. The reason I ask is that I watch a lot of toddler movies on youtube lately...in some versions they sing "incy wincy" with UK accents and "itsy bitsy" with US accents.

Haha he was secretly banned for shaming Star Trek. What mods mention in the Banned section is a hist.

HK is great. Maybe you should go while it still is!

Kind of hard to go anywhere this year.
All your time will be spent in quarantine.

We're counting a little bit on two weeks in Cyprus or Greece again in August this year but its probably just wishful thinking.
