There's big problems with components for all electronics, whether it's games machines, PC games machines, or anything else. Covid and backlogs created from it have really messed with the manufacturing of the little electrical doodads that go into them.

I don't like the "pressure" of online chess. The anonymity makes it feel like a far bigger deal than it should be, even though I've played the odd game over the past few years. (with about a 900 rating) I did go to the local chess club, but it has a few problems. They run it on a Friday evening, whi...

It's about a year since I got my big box of tea samples. I've decided I like pu-erhs, black teas (Golden Monkey is lovely,) white teas and the darker oolongs. Green teas can get stuffed, and the lighter oolongs are too likely to taste of mushrooms. The pu-erhs I like are the ripe ones, not the raw o...

He didn't pick the correct side of the course, he brought the wind down with him the whole way that was in front of the wind shift. To be fair Ineos sailed themselves back into the lead before the race was abandoned. Because ahead of the wind shift the wind picked up and was brought down the course...

Ainslie is not doing well. He's far too twitchy on the helm and not handling either the sea state or any lifts or drops in the wind. Seems shook. Edit: Maybe a bit overpowered for the conditions? Do they have more sail out than the Italians? Second edit: And the Italians absolutely screwed by a win...

What's the scuba breather/mouthpiece thing they have? Is that in case they go swimming? The boat keels over?

From the slowness of my (rural) internet, I'd say every fucker is bate out after Christmas, and will at least be taking the lockdown seriously today.

We need to advance to the next stage of society, which is bi-daily deliveries of booze and vibrator batteries, a selection of Steam, PS5 or XBox store credit, and Gigabit internet for shows (or whatever you weirdos watch.) Of course we need the constitutional entitlement of one house for everyone to...

I bought Farming Simulator 19 in the Steam sale in a rash of game-buying (I've been playing games to help me cut down on the booze and snacks.) It's weirdly relaxing and a total fantasy world. Fantasy because you can make a profit as a small farm owner without subsidies and being told what to grow, ...

My parents flew down for the wedding. People in medieval costume, horns of mead, that sort of thing. I think my dad secretly had a blast, but won’t say it out loud near my mum. That sounds amazing, at least the ability to have a whole turkey leg with a horn of beer rather than some thinly sliced be...

Jameson is fine for mixing etc. It's nice with ginger. It's the best of the "standard" whiskeys imo. It's a nice blend whiskey alright. It's no redbreast, greenspot or Bushmills Well yeah, but that's why it's about a third of the price and used in bars etc. I like the Stout editions they have for s...

I'm surprised so many businesses have survived this far. If all the talks about rents, employment costs, training costs, staff turnover, rates, tax, etc. were in focus for years before, focus of whinging for non-lockdown times, they shouldn't have survived three months in restrictions. It shows how ...

I'm really enjoying Cyberpunk. I'm running it on a PC that just about meets the minimum specs with overclocking (otherwise they'd be under it) and it still looks great and I've had no gamestopping bugs. I think what a lot of people don't say (which people who played The Witcher 3 tell me you shouldn...

There was another football manager game that wasn't Championship Manager/Football Manager, I can't remember the name. It was from 1995/1996 iirc but I would have only played it around 2000. It was great, you could offer bungs/bribes to other managers to try and sign players, it had the little dots ...

This years Football Manager (FM 2021) is the best they've ever come out with. The match engine is light years ahead of what they've done before. The animation is way better (not like FIFA or anything like that, though) and the ability of players to make decisions, occupy space, run to the right pla...

I think, being generous, the starting point of this thread can be taken as the differences between mental health and mental illness. There's plenty of people who have issues with mental health, everyone, in fact. It's like every day physical health where you might be a fitness nut, keeping everythin...

fudge the lockdown stages. They're all the same until I can sit at the bar in a miserable pub drinking a great stout reading a miserable book while bathing in my misery.

It's a bit windy in Cork. Gusts of 60 knots at the airport and 80 knots at Roche's Point. Our power is gone, so it's a good thing we cooked a chicken earlier and hopefully the bbq remains put.

Makes sense as tax taken this year is based on earnings last year (when there was no covid lockdown) (corp tax prepayment - vat and other vagaries left to one side) Income tax is only marginally behind last year overall . what that tells you is that hardly anyone in the affected sectors in Ireland ...

Thoughts with all those trans women who just want to play rugby :roll: What a dumb comment. No-one is arguing that WR's decision isn't the correct one. But we also need to except that it's discriminatory and not inclusive. As long as WR get's the science and legal side of things done well, they sho...

Brigid Mae Power - Head Above the Water I haven't listened to this one yet. I wasn't a huge fan of the one before, but the one before that was superb.

To break this all down, people, some women, a lot of men, feel threatened by trans people. Not a fear, but feel a threat to stable knowledge. A threat to the idea that the foundations of certain parts of their life, that it could be upset. They're not afraid because they rationalise unbound, un-con...

I think Saoirse's issue is her massive ego. Lorna Bogue is the same in Cork Nah, Lorna Bogue is lovely.

And there's one. Even complete with the deliberately missing the point to overegg their point. Unseen seems to actually accept trans people as separate and this is the way forward towards inclusivity, IMO. Funny as that sounds.

Based on my beliefs, that I have a right to have: Men are men Trans men are women identifying as men (pre or post op), or simply trans men (I support their male identity at face value, and feel they pose less of a risk to men given their natural physical comparative weaknesses).
