    So You Get To Pick a City to Live For 1 Year (under 100k) In Mainland Africa. Where?

    A smaller town isn't available? I think we've had this sort of discussion before and agreed that it's highly unlikely we'll become neighbours in this life. I don't know enough about small cities in Africa to make a choice, yet, but the premise is interesting.

    What Video Games Have You Been Playing? #23: Lost in Shalebridge Cradle

    Yeah, hence I only watched the short teaser :) Even Zizaran's patch notes video is an hour & half long. Sad to see Metamorph biting the dust but I didn't play Ultimatum so I've only a vague idea how it works (or doesn't). Maybe I'll do another league-blind leveling in week.

    Oh, the weather outside is...

    I haven't yet decided whether I'll be in Wraeclast or Azeroth after I've cleared the Nakatomi Plaza from baddies but not having to wonder if there'll be a white Christmas is a welcomed change.

    What Video Games Have You Been Playing? #23: Lost in Shalebridge Cradle

    I'd make quite a bit money with this ;) The problem partially is the way the AI is supposed to be made competitive - give it front loaded perks so the human is playing catch up the problem being that one catches up far too early and then AI has nothing in its sleeves. This is made even worse...

    football thread No11

    Yesterday the only local Euro game had to paused in Helsinki so the pitch could be plowed sort of clean as there was some decent snowing throughout the game mean while in Turku warming cables/pipes (I have actually no idea which the heating is done) seemed to be in better order as the...

    Oh, the weather outside is...

    Speaking of numbers it currently is -4C and has been like that for a week now though next week will be slightly colder at -8 to -12C which is fine. A bit more snow would be welcomed as it'd make making of cc skiing tracks much easier in places without snow cannons but still wouldn't hurt cycling...

    Weird News ε' - The fifth column

    I don't think this is really that weird but somewhat odd & interesting anyway. Fairly cheap electricity The most interesting part is that most local electric companies actually paid the customers for what they used rather than just setting the price for zero since this was a clear error. Some...

    Shopping Thread .. or What Did You Buy?

    Oh yes, I worded my question a bit hastily so in my 50 odd years I've never seen "cycle" nor heard of it so I assume it wasn't a common way of expressing it at any point in time but I was rather thinking of whether it was just that one company or if it was used by (some) others, too for a while...

    What Video Games Have You Been Playing? #23: Lost in Shalebridge Cradle

    Just watched the new PoE league teaser bu only played Civ 5 for the past month and as if my games weren't long enough before now they surely are as I've switched to marathon speed. It actually changes the gameplay more than I hought or rather would've guessed and changes the relational strength...

    Oh, the weather outside is...

    Winter may have come early this year as November was much colder than on average and for the 1st time since 2010 the whole country was covered in snow 30.11. While it feels a bit odd checking calendar & watching out of the windows the 24/7 lighting the snow provides is awesome. As is the scenery...

    football thread No11

    This is as good of an idea as Trump's suggestions to cure covid by internal light & bleach but meanwhile in the Europeland two top level teams of the Engs had a marvellously entertaining game of football - the object of players' attention is called 'a ball' due to it's shape and it's mainly...

    Which films have you seen lately? Vol. 21: Now in CinemaScope!

    Yup, none of those I mentioned are actually good but adjectives describing them varies - disturbing would be my umbrella term here but it's something like if one thinks Benny Hill was obscene then don't go to Frankie Boyle live. Metrics for creepy/shocking etc varies a lot.

    What TV Shows Are You Watching? The 9th Is - Excuse Me - A Damn Fine Cup Of Coffee

    Somewhat interestingly the most vivid memory I have from Shogun is the swans - or rather the lack of them. There was an article at the time about the production and how they wanted to be historically accurate and removed the swans on a pond/lake which were brought there for the scenery etc...

    Which films have you seen lately? Vol. 21: Now in CinemaScope!

    While Salo is interesting it still was just breaking boundaries of main stream - like a truck I admit - while Singapore Sling, A Serbian Film & Tetsuo I & II for example are movies that Hugh Grant really would not have participated in and if Bunuel's Andalusian dog is a bit too much those should...

    What TV Shows Are You Watching? The 9th Is - Excuse Me - A Damn Fine Cup Of Coffee

    Oh, I wish I could declare a 25 year grace period where remakes are not legal and it'd be enforced rigorously.

    Shopping Thread .. or What Did You Buy?

    Nope - not in this case anyway - one which has one or more electric motors so you can lift it up & lower down so it can be used either while standing up or sitting down and if so with chairs of variable height.

    Shopping Thread .. or What Did You Buy?

    I've been thinking of getting an electric table for PC room for ages, spend yesterday making space for it & got one today. 200cm x 180cm L-shaped table isn't the most convenient object to move around but we managed to 2M it to it's place but now I'm too lazy/exhausted put all the stuff back in...
