>Why the fuck does everybody these days feel the need to start their own whatsapp group everytime four people get together and have something in common, however remotely.
Because everyone's lonely and disconnected from their communities.

>>427922

I don't particularly enjoy having much to do with my neighbours on a good day. Can't say I'm really on bad terms with anybody, some of them are even really quite sufferable people. I just value my anonymity when I am at home, with nobody really paying attention to what I am doing. Not sure what good it will really do me to be in a whatsapp group with the other tenants.

And during all of the years since I moved out from my parents', never once did I lock myself out. So it's a chance that's worth taking to me.

Having half of my flat trashed due to heating system being re-done. Had to move my chair and my table from near the window.
It's been just a day and I already miss it. I'm kind of used to stare at the street when I'm idling.

Anyway, I'm somewhat tempted to re-watch The Bourne Identity, and then maybe the four other parts too.

Fuck me it was 2014. Why the fuck do I remember these things and not anything useful?

I used to volunteer now and then for a charity for disabled children.

Nothing quite like getting a whiff from a low-functioning autism kid who just shat himself. Not that he would have noticed, he was usually too busy counting all the Lego pieces in the bin over and over. Maybe I contracted my social awkwardness from him.

>>427901
I think there are sites that will sell you pseudo scientific awful tasing milkshake powdered that is supposed to do this, but since one got mentioned by name in another thread recently and I've seen Ads all over reddit for the same one, I wonder if someone is of the the delusion we are worth targeting for viral marketing and OP is a shill trying to lead discussion that way.

Of all things, why would anyone want to give up on shitting?
It's about the most productive thing I do at work.
>>427910
Mildly curious how the cavemen did their bee colony foraging.

>>427929
Well as Britain's premier discussion forum, it's expected that we will be targeted by such campaigns.

>Nothing quite like getting a whiff from a low-functioning autism kid who just shat himself

Better get used to that smell, seeing as all your kids will be autistic now.

I wonder if there should be health warnings for pregnant women to stay away from autists in case they inhale their farts and it ends up stunting their foetus.

I don't think it was even too bad of a time to be unemployed if you didn't even have to pretend to look for a job and unemployed people and fake disabled people weren't scapegoat number one like they were just before David Cameron got in.

>>19555

I think much of the Broken Britain debate around 2007-10 was disingenuous. Much of that segment of the population which constituted Broken Britain wasn't at the bottom end of society of their own volition. They were just the symptom of a society where if you've sunk to a certain level, there isn't much hope for you to get back up.

And even with the most benign view on the Tory government from 2010, you can't in all honesty say that Cameron fixed Broken Britain.

>>19556
Nah, come on, Britain is fixed now. That's why we're trying so hard to snap into to pieces, so we've got a project to work on for the new decade.

>>19557

And ARE Boris will no doubt do a fine job of it.

>>19549
Thank you.
I'm not exactly millenial (though close) and still your words resonate with my experiences.

>>427892
It doesn't matter. Nothing you say will get them to shut up.

Thousands of Ende Gelände protesters break through police lines to occupy a vast open face coal mine over the weekend. (Possibly tens of thousands of people involved but only some sitting in the mine, others blocking coal trains, distracting police, providing logistics and other things)

That's slightly disconcerting.

I guess it isn't much consolation that the Earth has been through much more sudden catastrophic events like the asteroid impact 65 million years ago and has bounced back.

Best to pack your rice then.

Nice canals but uh

Any chance you can get backups of the map? I quite like having them to go back to in the future and reminisce.

Also the server does seem to go down quite often. I was getting quite invested in the new villager mechanics.

I invited them to a cage match. All 150 or so of them.

Send the buggers back.

There's another cage in the hole where the tower used to be. Doesn't seem like there's any way to stop them spawning there but their numbers have thinned.

Coat gotten.

I was shooting people again. A Steyr with a weird red dot sight device that also provided magnification.
There were some good 800 metres between me and my targets. I remember having to compensate for the distance.
No idea what to make out of this. It was fun.

Apparently some of Johnson's supporters voted for Hunt to ensure that Gove wouldn't make it into the final two.

I think I'd actually prefer Johnson over Hunt.

>>86276
I'll take chlamydia over Johnson any day.

>>86276

As much as I loathe Hunt (the same way a miner would loathe Thatcher) even I have to admit. When you put him next to an ape like Johnson and that fucking snivelling deformed little twat Gove, he actually looks like a sensible candidate.

Irn Bru and chips. That's the Scottish Tory vote secured.

Why doesn't Boris just say "it was a personal matter, a row that got out of hand and a noise complaint was made", it's the way he's dancing around the issue that's making a mountain out of a mole hill. Is my assumption that it's symptom of his upper-class background in which all personal matters are buried deep as deep goes and ignored forever baseless? Like when David Cameron started crying when someone mentioned his dad that one time? It's just so strange that he'd let something so seemingly minor foul up his campaign like this.

Oh, that was a wordfilter.

I'm going through something very similar. I think the only way you get over that wall is by making yourself vulnerable.

>And to be quite honest, it doesn't seem fair to open up and unleash my "issues" on people, even if they want to know and help.

Your friends are there for you to open up to and it's a little rude to keep people away like that.

>Treating friends and partners like therapists is rarely a good idea.

Asking friends to pick up some milk once in a while is fine, but expecting them to do your grocery shop week in, week out is rude. It's the same with talking about issues, friends do want to help and be helped.

I made the mistake of thinking that any opening up (or vulnerability) was wrong (that I shouldn't put my problems on other people, etc.). But, I greatly underestimated my own emotional intelligence.

I don't think you need therapy and I don't really see what it'd achieve. I think you just need to work on making yourself a bit more vulnerable here and there.

You can say the same thing about haircuts.

>>40789

they look like fun

I saw a girl earlier and it really, really hit me that I really, really miss girls and ought to be doing something to rectify that. Christ, she was fit. I'm not sure if she was looking at me in revulsion or with conflicted attraction, but I'm telling myself it was the latter.

Also here's a girl who's obviously mad.

>>40791

I've never dated a girl who wasn't willing to put on ears and a cat tail when we fucked. It's become sort of a deal breaker.

Just putting that out there.

>>40792
Good way to weed out the vanillas tbh.

>>427832
Yeah, and then that's mate in 3, not 2. Keep up.

Oh sorry you said e7 not e6. Yeah that's mate in 2 fair enough.

HOWEVER: if Black doesn't use the rook, and Qc6 as originally planned, then the queen can be captured from d7. So that's the whole thing out the window.

I'm starting to think this puzzle is impossible.

>>427812
I'm wondering whether it can be brute-forced. The criteria here is essentially that for the correct white move, white has a mating response to every black move. In this position, there are 38 legal moves for white and 13 moves for black, but some of the white moves are checks which narrow down the possibilities for black. For example, after Rf5+ the only legal move is Nxf5.

>>427853
If black doesn't use the rook, it has to move something else.
e7 Nf5 Rxf5#
e7 N{f3,g2} Rf5#
e7 Rf8 exf8Q#
e7 d[65] Re6#
e7 c6 Qd6#

I don't think there's an immediate mate from e7 g6 though.

>>427855

h8=Q#

>>427856
D'oh! In that case, I think we have our answer. 1. e7 ... leads to inevitable mate in one.

>My money bloke always says 'if they're talking about it, you're three months late' which seems to hold pretty true.

You could also call it the stock price paradox.

Given enough time, most stocks will almost invariably go up. But when you get in, they will almost never go up. At least not right away, and that's what discourages many investors who then get out as the stock tumbles. But only to see the stock climb again and far beyond their sell point in a few months' time.

In the short term, it's almost impossible to tell, especially for a small retail investor, which way a stock will go. And it's also why short-term traders fail, because those who dictate stock prices have realised it's a magnificently easy way to empty the pockets of more gullible investors who think they can make money betting on short-term ups and downs. It doesn't matter what you do, you have no way of winning this game.

It'd be easy to think all you'd have to do is buy stocks that are down or otherwise cheap, but the problem is that you might well end up buying a stock that either isn't going to do much for the next five years, or if a stock is in a downward trend, you simply have no way of telling if it's going to go down another 20 percent before it really picks up speed to the upside again. Trends tend to perpetuate themselves. Until the day they don't.

What you need in the stock market nowadays more than ever is bulletproof nerves of steel that will allow you to hold on to a stock that you think is promising even if it slides ten percent in one day. And you need infinite patience. Sadly, those two are still no guarantee that you will be earning a noteworthy profit in the long term. But they are pretty much the conditio sine qua non of stock investing.

> me and my mates did end up making a couple of grand each just by having what amounted to loose change sat in our Dream Market wallets a few years ago. Pissed it all away on more drugs, like.

At the height of the bitcoin price bubble I worked out what all the btc I'd spent on drugs, just in 2015 alone, would have been worth. Then I cried a bit. Good job I didn't have a way to work it out all the way back to 2012.

>My first thought was that they should have just added a reset button to the bulb, but that's not great if the bulb is in a high or awkward fitting - the reset sequence won't work unless the bulb is powered on, so you might have people up a ladder trying to find a tiny button on a hot bulb while being blinded by the glare. That's a lawsuit waiting to happen.

You are making it sound more complex then it is it isn't any more difficult then changing a light bulb.
Also I think 'smart bulbs' are LED and therefore don't generate much heat.
And finally that it doesn't reset every other bulb on the same lighting circuit which might be relevant.

A small switch is the solution but I am willing to believe the people who build the hardware aren't the same people who make the software so largely ignore each others needs and might not even be in the same country and company let alone the same factory and key parts of hard ware might even be for other purposes that they bastardised because it was significantly cheaper than building their own.

>>63529 MORE DIFFICULT THEN CHANGING A LIGHT BULB.

Just because it's easy to change a light bulb where you're using them, doesn't mean that it's always easy.
Although, don't these things present an AP for first configuration? Does that get disabled once configured? Seems daft if so.
A sensible person might campaign for bot a switch and a secret handshake, if you really do need to be able to reauthnticate like this.

>>63532
>DON'T THESE THINGS PRESENT AN AP FOR FIRST CONFIGURATION? DOES THAT GET DISABLED ONCE CONFIGURED? SEEMS DAFT IF SO

Surely you don't want 25 spurious APs in each house clogging up the already busy 2.4/5GHz wavelengths? That sounds like a recipe for interference.

I'D RATHER HAVE THE LIGHTING CIRCUITS REPLACE WITH ETHERNET WITH POWER-OVER-ETHERNET, AND HAVE THE LIGHTS COMMUNICATE OVER ETHERNET TO MY IOT HUB.

The forger gives themselves away with the date in the top right. Look at the slant of the letters and the last two numerals - they're clearly written by an adult who has learned cursive. No ten-year-old who is precocious enough to write to Jimmy saville would need (or allow) an adult to write the date for them.

Otherwise, it's a good effort, likely written by someone who has a child of about that age - the pre-cursive letterforms in the main text are spot on.

>>86287
>write to Jimmy saville

It was one of you lads writing to Nige for a joke, wasn't it? No ten year old in this country has a mate called Jim.

Though it does look like he spilled ice cream over his address, so you never know.

>>86286

The give away is to me the way it is written satisfies all the desires of the audience. It is bad character writing in that it doesnt come from expression of an inner voice. That said children learn to 'say the right thing' to satisfy any adults around them so that could explain it. I remember how 'smart' I was considered for saying the right thing at that age about religion, when I formed my own opinions and became an atheist I was stupid again. So there is a possibility they are just parrots rather than the forgery of adults.
