How do you guys watch chess? I mean, don't get me wrong. I know how to play it and enjoy playing it but it doesn't strike me as the type of game you get hyped over.

Thanks, guys, for the kind words, mingled with the sort of humour and disrespect I expect from a bunch of rugby buggers. Luckily, parking is free at the hospital. I am not sure if I will join the high school kids for touch rugby but it is something to keep as a sort of target. It is amazing that yo...

Early Thursday morning, I had a mild heart attack, no massive pains or sweating or the like, but a general feeling of my chest being squeezed. So I drove to the ER and was shuffled straight into the operating room for a 2.5 hour op using catheter. They inserted three stents and I am able to sit up ...

It should pass in the senate in a few days. Definitely a big boost to the Ukraine. Respect to the speaker who we at least now know is not a Russian shill. He put his job on the line to do the right thing here, and while some of his politics is vile imo, at least he shows some spine and intelligence....

I greatly enjoyed it. Thought it was the perfect mix of action, gore, cheese, and some comedy thrown in. I have played the games since the original Fallout back in the 90s, but I personally don't think you need to know the setting to enjoy it. It does a pretty good job of explaining the world throug...

Most New Zealand super sides have had this kind of confidence crisis on a semi-regular basis, where multiple elements line up for the perfect storm (new coach, player exodus, injury crisis and tough early draw) all compounding on each other. What’s remarkable is how long the Crusaders have gone wit...

Man sets himself on fire outside trial. All over news now Seeing that, WTF? Wonder if he was a “Pro Palestine protestor” and did it in a place to generate the lost attention possible? Nah, he's just some nut that believes in a global conspiracy. He left nutcase pamphlets around the place. Sounds li...

At an IMDB 1.1 rating "Robyn Hood" (2023) must be the lowest rated series/movie I've ever come across. Robyn is a rapper from New Nottingham who, along with her hip-hop band, The Hood, fights corruption in the city; together, they pull out all the stops to prevent the Sheriff and elite developers f...

Israel really don't get a fvck.

They were with a meeting with Blinkin the same day they struck Iran and never even told him their plans.

Makes the US look weak. Not a good look for Biden.

I think all drugs should be legal. Which is not the same as "you can buy it at the corner-store". Education is the key. As long as people are fully aware that something is unhealthy and addictive, then it should be entirely their choice as to whether they want to do that thing or not. They should t...

Let's call a spade a spade. If you believe in a literal Sky Wizard, and stories that Noah somehow walked the earth rounding up billions of species and put them on a tiny boat, and that females come from a male rib and that the earth is 10,000 years old.....you'll believe anything. You're a dumb pers...

Smoking is such a nasty habit. Anytime a lady pulls out one to suck on it's an instant -50% on the hotness scale.

I'd rather she pick her nose in front of me.

Well I mean it would be very hard to be impartial. I'd find the cvnt guilty 1 second after the trial starts.

Well if ballistic missiles are on their way they should arrive in 10 minutes or so.

I dunno, feel like the slow movement of these drones suggests something. Iran could have sent missles.

Well the Crusaders have lost NZ's best coach and the best play maker, so it stands to reason they will struggle.

I think this is it for the Crusaders for some time, I suspect they will just be another team this generation.

Great run though.....the rotten cvnts.

Honestly in round robin games there is nothing wrong with a draw. Don't know why they feel the need to force a winning result.

I started Fallout yesterday, watching ep 1. Seems 'good' but not especially compelling (yet). So I'll keep going but without screaming 'ZOMG IT'S A MUST-WATCH!!!1' I like when shows use relatively unheralded actors because it helps you suspend disbelief. Especially when they're 'hidden gems' of act...

OJ can rest in peace now knowing that the killer died with him.

I guess the point I'm making is no one gives a shit if your crappy bomb squad becomes less effective. Get over it. Didn't even work against NZ in the final anyway. It wasn't some masterful tactical move by Lord Rassie, it was a dice throw and it worked in the semi and very nearly fell on its ass in ...

Why do Saffas have such a huge persecution complex? It's quite weird to me. Laws change constantly. Rugby is nothing like it was just 20 years ago.

Haniyeh's eldest son confirmed in a Facebook post that his three brothers were killed.

Some rose tinted glasses here I think. TV was trash in the 80s. Even the "great" shows were mostly cheesy poorly written and badly acted garbage. Movies were better though. New York City was a festering dump in the 70s and 80s from what I heard, just like San Fran is today. Cities come and go, that'...

How dark did it get?

Wasn't noticeable where I was, disappointing.

Fully dark, like in night time.

Were you in the path of totality though? You need 100% for that.

The problem is population collapse not decline. Japan and especially South Korea are going to fall off the cliff in the second half of this century. If you have population decline it needs to be managed so it doesn't put a burden on younger people. South Korea is currently at 0.81 births per woman,...

Curious dynamic this election year. 2016 Trumpism was catching on, every word he uttered splattered across the news space. 2020 as the incumbent he owned the news cycles. This year there's simply continued headlines as to his court cases with the odd outrage or put down thrown in. Wonder what the s...

Doubt it'll ever drop that low. But again even if it did, what would happen? Why is it clearly a big issue? Because it will ruin the economy? How are 10 million workers going to support 65 million elderly and who will run the hospitals? Can't the economy just shrink or grow accordingly? If it shrin...

If you are offended by this legislation, could you make a complaint to the police about the legislation and take a case to court under that very legislation? Legislation inception?
