Be Excellent To Each Other

Because they're embarrassed.

For the same reason you never notice most of your vision is not entirely in colour vision, and similar things.

That is kinda cool

Sent a quote this morning for redeveloping the frontend of a website that 90% of you have probably read/are aware of and I am shitting bricks.

brazzers.com?

We'll be here all day if y'all start guessing.

http://www.hamsterdance.com ?

edit: Damn, they sold out.

Hey, ['our friend in Bath' - Ed.] is known for his easy-going manner.

He's pots of cash too, by all accounts.

Man, that's incredible... another £80k-odd to add to the coffers, I see! What's that in aggregate now? Half a million?

That must be some JC-spec PC he uses; one imagines LEDs whose combined brightness outshine the Sun on hard disk I/O ops.

Is the shitting bricks a clue and it's the NHS site?

People use the NHS site?

Sorry, I didn't mean to make this a guessing game You were all just supposed to tell me I'm awesome and that I'll nail it

It does need updating.

You mean it's not automated? That's like a baby's toy.

On my way up the hill from The Village, there is a large house with an overgrown garden and massive pair of gates. Each gate has a single S on it. Found out, last night, it is for Sooty and Sweep as Matthew Corbett used to live there. How exciting. Not seen Topsy and Tim's dad yet, though, but the woman i was meeting lsst night, her son's band is on the FIFA17 soundtrack. Showbiz life, this.

You ARE Topsy and Tim's dad, Mali.

Where is Soo's S?

It's semi-automated in that I just have to hit a special link and fill in the location.

But I didn't do it at the time, so that won't help.

It should scrape beexers Facebook photos and Google Photos collections for facial recognition scans at events.

Just supply Grim... your Google password! I see no downside

pornhub?

pornohub.su?

You can all thank me later.

Twice this week I've posted from the mobile site and when I hit submit it takes me to the thread, someone else has posted and my post has disappeared. Anyone else have this issue?

Has anybody heard from Jazzy? Has she vanished?

Do you get the 'your message has been submitted' page?

I don't think so, it's just taking me back to the thread. Only seems to happen when there have been more posts in the meantime though. There's no 'someone else has posted' message either.

Is that, perchance, because it's actually hampster dance?

Oxford Mail: Prank calls from 'angry Scottish man' prompt police advice

There's a shop in town that sells comic books and board games that's been open a little while, but as neither are my thing, I've never really paid much attention to it. However, I noticed they've started doing videogame nights, with last night being a fighting game night. Fighting games really aren't my thing either, but I thought I'd go along and see how popular it was. I was pleasantly surprised with the turnout - 15-20 people, which doesn't sound a lot, but their website and advertising is pretty poor. As for the games, there were -

- two PCs running Street Fighter IV, one of which was hooked up to a projector
- a Wii U running Smash Bros
- an Xbox One running some Naruto thing
- a PS2 running some Tekken game

All pretty small scale stuff, but I might see if I can help out with lending them some stuff.

I'm not quite sure how the shop itself makes any decent money though - it's a very big shop and they don't seem to sell an awful lot. They serve food and drink though. Their board game offer seems ok though - £10 deposit and you can play any of their board games (from a sizeable collection) at one table all day and when you're done, you get a fiver back.

Sounds great. Board game cafés are an excellent way to try new games and get friends interested in the hobby. It's also good to have a social option for an evening out that doesn't involve drinking (although Meeples in Oxford has a fine range of beers these days).

That sounds ace. There's a similar thing near to me but it's in a pub and of an evening. I keep on meaning to go down and see what it's all about.

There's a board game cafe near me, but all the food is vegan.

Take your own sausages.

Nothing wrong with vegan food! Why do you love killing animals and destroying the environment?

I expected better from you.

A vegan diet is no better for the environment tbh. Not unless you grow your own food.

I don't mind vegan food anyway (I was one for 4 years), but it would be nice to be able to have the choice.

Go there for the games then.

I don't play the ones I've got!

Although I took 5 Second Rule to Gaz and Jem's and that was good fun. Thanks.

Er... Why do you think that?

A pub near me sells exclusively vegan food - but it's food you'd expect not to be vegan. If that makes sense.

It just sounds like plates of steaming hot disappointment.

You still need to consume a lot of energy to grow fruit and veg on an industrial scale, plus plastic used in packaging etc.

In fact this article reports that a study in America has suggested that more natural resources are needed to grow fruit and veg than meat. But of course it's more nuanced than that.

I violently dislike foodstuffs being shoehorned into standing in for food they're nothing like. Lean, dry turkey chilli can fuck off too.

Jesus, that was a hard read, had to abort at 'artisan pitta'.

Bewilderment.

The environmental impact of me tearing up my back garden to grow veg in would be huge. Therefore I'm very definitely saving the planet by not doing so.

Only if you didn't read the study or its findings or any other findings of any other study whatsoever.

A vegan diet is obviously and by a fucking long way environmentally better (and healthier) than one rammed with a shitload of meat.

There are certain vegetables that provide a poor ratio of environmental impact to calorie production due to various requirements, though ALL return better than, say, beef.

There are also limits to it due to optimal usage of land; some is not as suited to growing food crops as much as it would being used for other things. But it would definitely make a huge impact environmentally if humans even cut 25% of meat from their diets.

That doesn't mean I'm not going to eat steaks. I am going to eat steak because it's delicious.

....But bacon, KFC and BK Double Rodeo Cheeseburgers...
