Looks like what I see in low light, sorta grainy.

...now that I focus on my sight... I can kinda see it. It's not that pronounced as the gif, it's not easily noticeable. Might be worth mentioning I get tinnitus after a loud night out, but I'd attribute that to alcohol.

That's some fucking good painting and patience.

Reminds me that I still have some Shermans and Churchills I need to glue 'n' paint.

You'd think in the 50-60 years of the embargo other countries would take advantage of the gap in the market and pick up from there.

Good for Cuba though, at least in the short term.

I'd love to know how my generation feels about real charity.

Put it this way.

In Cardiff, most students pay the £9000/a through government loans. Then on top of that, there's maintenance loans and until recently, grants if you're from a "deprived background" which can rise quite high depending on your circumstances. England has loans only, Welsh students (or people who live here long enough to qualify as a resident, i.e. me) have 2/3 of that £9000 as a grant, supplied by the government which is supplied by the taxpayer. Max total after 3 years is around £54,000, with just under half that being given to students to do what the hell they want with it (with a chunk of that taken out for renting, food, and utility bills).

You don't see many freshers on a night out helping the homeless in Queen Street on their way to the nightclubs or McDonalds, unless you count the sanctimonious pricks buying them a happy meal in return for a selfie and facebook farming. Only people I've seen interact with the homeless with no clear profitable motive is the Christian Union, which is few and far between.

I realise I'm being quite the hypocrite here, but it should paint a pretty clear picture.

This October is going to be shitty. The last day will make up for some of it with a Halloween party, but not before I trudge through a shitton on assignments and my dissertation.

Is doesn't have that property.

Heat can increase evaporation and water vapour capacity in the air (making the air humid), but it isn't a property of the heat.

So it hasn't changed in the last few years then.

Last I heard about Israel taking in refugees back when the Syrian war was in it's infancy, Israel had taken in a grand total of... 4. Lebanon had 1 million in the same timespan, and still has them AFAIA (apparently those 4 were injured, were treated, then sent back to Syria).

Or I dunno, be a little suggestive just after they take some that the house is angry and it needs to be cleaned. Two birds one stone.

And people say sweeping derogatory statements about women is inherently bad.

What a shame for all those single childless men (who may or may not masturbate to anime).

Is there like a special method to shoveling and using a wheelbarrow?

Not sure about good techniques for rolling around a wheelbarrow, but if you're gonna be shovelling for a while, a good method (and not overdoing the load on the blade) won't do your back in, and you won't over exert yourself.

Had a quick read of the conclusion, and the only "results" of it are a quantitative analysis and correlation of 4chan posts with a link being posted and an increase of raiding to that site soom afterwards.

No surprises there.

Serious / Re: OK, so what happens if Trump loses?
« on: October 12, 2016, 07:45:57 AM »
So in all seriousness, since Trump seems to be saying more and more that he won't concede if he loses, and encourages people not to accept it and riot and whatever, he can get arrested right?

Like at that point he's just a civilian again without the protection of the secret service and all that.

Depends on the law.

Is inciting a riot an offence in America as it is in the UK?

I'm not sure where freedom of expression and right to protest (being AFAIA perfectly fine under the constitution) then goes in the grey area of encouraging supporters to be a public nuisance (blocking highways and the like) and ultimately the black (an excuse to shoot up the place, smash things, loot, etc, with a hint of protest).

Why do disorders like x-phagias exist?

E.g. Trichophagia, Dermatophagia, (the other one where you bite objects like pencils, etc)

No.

The original is old enough to be played even by decent laptops these days which most people have, so with a few mods and touch ups here and there it's just as enjoyable, and for about £50 cheaper if you wait for Steam sales.

Gaming / Re: Why can't developers compress downloads?
« on: October 10, 2016, 10:32:03 AM »
The DVDs that X360/ PS3 games were printed on could only store about 6GB of data. Blu-Ray discs can store about 45GB. That, combined with the increased quality of textures, audio, and so forth mean games are a lot bigger. Factor in DLC and endless title updates and games are pretty big.

I can understand DLC that came after the games release or separate from the "Vanilla" disc itself need downloading, but with Blu-Ray holding 45GB why do I now have to download it to my current gen console too?

On '360 the only games that required a download-before-play were multiple discs, IIRC games that were at the end of the last gen's shelf life, (Dragon Age 2, GTA V) understandable if they needed 12GB of data to run at peak for old hardware.

Hell, looking at my Steam library I see Vanilla Fallout 4 comes up at 26GB with all the bells and whistles that the PC brings (Extreme graphics), while it's PS4 equivalent has a disc and a 40GB download for the game I presume is at lower settings. What in blue blazes are Sony formatting this shit in, Katakana?!

I buy physical copies because the best network infrastructure in my area is shite and unreliable, a mere upgrade from dial-up, so digital copies (and most PC games nowadays) are out of the question. I'm not sure if I should be focusing my frustrations towards the UK's shitty broadband and fibreoptic coverage, the push by the console gaming industry towards digital copies, lack of storage space and hardware limitations, or all of the above.

I don't believe I know anyone well enough to buy into that "close knit community" stuff.

I mean, it sucks if someone from here's parents had died, they had a car crash, dropped out of uni or had money problems (of which IIRC we all helped out at one point for somebody), etc, but it's not like the same sort of concern I would have if a friend had told me a similar problem.

I would have to find somewhere else to pass the time and be as entertaining as here is for me if the site went down.

The Witcher 3 with all extra content downloaded is just under 70GB.

Battlefield 4 with it's patches and DLC rounds off to around 100GB. That's a fifth of my console's internal memory.

I dislike that the current gen consoles are favouring gamers who live in urban centres who have access to 4G/20Mbs+ internet so downloading 4GB patches isn't that big of a deal. Meanwhile in bumfuck nowhere, Wales, I'm stuck with waiting a few hours to a fucking day for it to download with a psuedo-internet blackout.

At this rate, I'd rather go back to LA Noire's 3-disc system than this migration to digital copies.
