No matter what, Sensei, us little guys are always fu*ked !

true but even little guys can become big guys. so there is that.

edit neither do I have just heard it in jokes so often. i can say the very first part and play the first part on the piano. 

I may be dumb but I ain't no small guy  

Good thing you replied to my status update, could find it browsing on my phone. They let me out, Im at home. Im sore af and dizzy from the drugs but overall its going well. Walkin a little in my corset but mostly lying around. Can't get around the new look & feel of the forum from my iphone.

Have I introduced you to android os xD? The important thing is that you're back on your two feet. I'm still recovering from the last version of the forum and then this bomb just dropped. Wonderful.

Im sticking with iphone because of the camera and photo app - I know the behaviour well and its more responsive and predictible than Android (wifey has a new samsung)

Yeah, inhalations are supposed to work good.

I've given it to my sis-in-law; you'd think she's got man flu; she's 'dying'.

My head today is officialy the density of a neutron star due to the amount of snot in my sinuses. On the good side- I don't feel like dying anymore.

I'm not one to believe the mods ban people for that type of thing. At least I'm pretty sure.

We only ban people for persistent of egregious violations of the rules, not for posting topics that spark debate. You could always start a thread with a synopsis of the film.

Yes. And since me being the one to open a thread on this would serve as a catalist for my potential persistency of egregious rule violations I shall not do it. BTW...have you watched this documentary ?

@MigL, Ispoke to a virologist today, apparently I should get vaccinated as soon as possible regardless whether I have the anti bodies or not. Plus there is the new mutation in the UK which the current 3 vaccines should be working against at least for now. 

Starting on  Dec  26 my province ( Ontario ) is going under full lock-down, for at least a month. As far as I know, the mutations have had little effect on the spike configuration of the Coronavirus, so the vaccines should still work.
Man, I can't wait for my vaccine injection !
Until then, hope you and yours stay safe and healthy.

@MigL We are at locdown here untill January 17th at least. I hope you get your vaccine soon, it looks like there is a chance we will be getting the Pfizer vaccine in January here. I would much prefer to get my immunity from the vaccine and not from Covid but it is what it is.

Yeah. Because when people pray for other..... You just got to torture them until they stop...... Because it's so evil right?

This was not about people who pray Raider. It was about you. And it was a joke too in case you decide not to get it.

It went completely over my head this time. You have to add a sarcastic twist or something to it. My generations good at that.

You do it how you feel comfortable

Thats it. Now I need to find out what will be comfortable.

Not a bit better in Belgium. Wanting something can get you in front of juvenile court rather quickly here (I didn't do anything wrong. Familial matters.)

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  

We live in interesting times.

I agree.

Well, far as I know Donald Trump's plan for space it to focus on deep space exploration, which I'm into. Sadly he's turning away from focusing on global warming, but with all 3 branches republican I don't think all the research we could provide would do anything.

Wow, spamming an anti-spamming status update on a science site is something isn’t it. BTW JulyS was pitching to @StringJunky not me  

Your wife might disagree.

Dang Stringy, I didn't know my wife into geriatrics, you learn something new every day  

I think I know now where my confusion came from. In English, provocation is the act of provoking (at least a couple of dictionaries from the top of google say so) wheres in my language not quite. "Provocation" has a more clear political meaning in Polish to a point. Its defined as a sneeky act done by an agent to do damage etc. Both words "Provocation" and "Prowokacja" are translated to each other directly but the carry a little bit different meaning. 

Same in French; "une provocation" has the sneaky political meaning as well as the more general meaning.

In any case , in English the sneaky political  meaning of "a provocation" is quite an important one and certainly is clear when used in context.

I seem to remember from my time in France when Polish people would manage to escape from the Soviet bloc that  there was a connection between the Poles and the French that was perhaps partially reflected in the language)

Seems a propos to this little thread (both terms are used ,but not in the "strong" sense of causing  actions to take place (allegedly).In fact they claim to have refrained from joining in the ongoing action and so had their  cover blown.

A cursory glance at Google suggests it is common here, N. Zealand and Australia. It maybe derived from 'bloc' which means 'bloke'.

Stringy, just admit that you live in a so remote and forgotten part of England that the language you use is alien to others

lol

Easily done. Managed to do the same thing with Boots antiseptic cream last week.

Senior moment?

One day it'll be the jungle formula Daktarin I suppose.

I don't feel old, its the lack of sleep and constant things to do with the baby doing that to me. As for the boot antiseptic you are a winner by far I've visited Lagos on business a few times btw. Now that you mentioned it, a boot antiseptic might be a good idea next time Im there.

Next time you're here, PM me you're whereabouts if you've a free few hours to kill.

Can't imagine why, but we don't get so many visitors.

;-)

Yes, he’s my son for sure

" Win10 update killed all my browsers. Newtork is there, pings go through, all the browsers are dead. It "

You should try going to website by IP, entering f.e.

http://127.0.0.1 (install XAMPP if you don't have Apache installed locally *) or f.e. http://151.101.113.67

(CNN IP Address)

This way you will verify whether it's DNS issue, or TCP/IP packets are blocked (firewall?),

whether it's Internet related problem or it's even local HTTP server not working..

*) in folder C:\xampp\htdocs\ make index.php file with contents "<?php printf("OK!" ); ?>" (The simplest possible PHP script).

Google „Win10 update kills browsers” It’s an issue caused by the update, non of the resolutions worked for me (including what you wrote above) I had to roll back.

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.

I honestly believe that it was better for me not to engage.

That might have been the case.

Eddie Murphy, excellent choice

Well, the old Eddie Murphy is realy awesome. I highly recomend standup which this is taken from - "Delirious"

Should have said "the young eddie murphy" The old one is burnt out unfortunately.

Quite an unsettling and inappropriate thing to say

Compared to Trump's faux pas over the period of his campaign mine is a minor one. Especially considering that what I wrote is obviously a sarcastic joke.

I don't care if it's a joke. It's over the line and a violation of rule 2.1.

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.

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.

@MigL, its my way of expressing Im having fun, I though u knew, you’re disappointing me you ol’ single malt drinking old man.  

He’s asleep now and we’re having a quarrel about whether I should check up on my twins or not.

Mmmmm, single malt...

mary poppins it.

Like posting "I'm Drunk" on this site?

Exactly.

lol

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.

It's a wealthy family. Buy it off them for pennies, exorcise it and sell it back to them for a normal market price. Not a bad idea for a "business" here.

Just take out a loan and flip the house. But I suppose economics work differently in the UK then here in the US.

Nimrod, that is the nicest thing I've heard all week. English is not my native language. Oh, and it's "than" not "then"

The trash can isn't there for members to post in. It's there for staff to move posts and threads that don't belong anywhere but. Having it open to members would be pandemonium, since the whole point is that the threads there are utter rubbish, deemed not suitable for discussion.

Furthermore, I find your attitude disheartening. As frustrating as some members are, you should always hope that they improve rather than continue as is or get worse.

You are right ofcourse hypervalent. I also hope that my attitude is not against the forum rules, we wouldn't want that. Don't give up on me hypervalent, you should always hope that I improve.
