Advice for everyone - Coronavirus (COVID-19) Stay at home to stop coronavirus spreading Everyone must stay at home to help stop the spread of coronavirus. You should only leave the house for 1 of 4 reasons: shopping for basic necessities, for example food and medicine, which must be as infrequent as possible one form of exercise a day, for example a run, walk, or cycle – alone or with members of your household any medical need, or to provide care or to help a vulnerable person travelling to and from work, but only where this absolutely cannot be done from home Important These 4 reasons are exceptions – even when…

I heard about this the other day where the first ever Tweet will be auctioned off for over $2m as an NFT which gives someone essentially digital ownership over something. The Tweet will remain on Twitter but it will be 'owned' by the buyer. I dunno if the world has gone mad with another fad or if something like this could turn into a very lucrative thing especially with people not having true ownership of things attributed to digital services like we see today i.e Steam, Netflix, PSN, Spotify, Social Media etc. Suddenly an original picture of something important published online with its serial may suddenly be worth something even if there is endless copies a…

Seriously how the fuck do you get £50m in debt? Multi-millionaire sports personality, lots of lavish global assets and also was still working as a broadcaster earning more in 2 weeks than people earn in 10 years. What sort of elitist lifestyle do you have to lead where you get into such a state and then have to conceal assets scattered all over the globe so you don't have to pay a portion of the overall debt? He's now landed himself a 30 month prison sentence and has nothing left - even having to see his sports memorabilia auctioned off so creditors can reclaim some of the money owed. It's quite a fascinating read but it beggars belief how someone of some inte…

I just wanted to pimp this little project we've been doing as of late on Six Sides of Gaming. We usually go live Thursday around 8pm EST and just talk about gaming in all its many forms as well as whatever cool stuff we've got going on at Six Sides currently or down the road. We don't have the audio portion available yet, but we should have that figured out soon. For now, the first 3 episodes are on our twitch channel twitch.tv/sixsidesofgaming if anyone is interested. Cheers folks!

Which total numpty thought it would be a good idea to make it so when a Pokémon is far away Pokéballs don’t just not work but even worse aggravate the Pokémon. The fact that there is a line of Pokéballs specifically designed to catch Pokémon that are far away makes this just ridiculous. If a Pokémon is rendered enough to be aggravated by my Pokéballs it should be rendered enough to catch them. If the out of battle Pokéball mechanic is in Scarlet and Violet this better be fixed, if not then the next Legends Game.

I've gotten the unofficial word I'm making LT day after tomorrow and will be going back to Investigations. I'll be taking over the Domestic Violence unit, an office of 15 detectives and 2 sergeants. I'll be a M-F day shift office drone driving a desk with my ass all day. My wife says it'll be fun. It won't be fun. But, it's the first time in...18 years or so I've had a M-F job. I don't know how long I'll have this office, as I'm likely to be offered the next opening in Homicide. I still won't be a real cop again, but I'll at least see them on occasion. 😄 I'm glad to be promoted but it's bittersweet. Being a field sergeant has been the best job I've ev…

Knew this story was bullshit - there is no such thing as a black white supremacists😎 What a way to ruin your career - create a farcical situation in a warped attempt at sympathy and causing racial friction and then get your already flimsy story torn apart by the media and police. What an embarrassing human being. Don't people have any dignity left or a shred common sense in them these days?

I like good quality sound. I am also in a line of work which means that my headphones often fall out of my ears from pretty high up and can land in puddles of water, so I go through them like mad. In the last year I'm on about my 6th pair. That means I need cheap and good quality sound. I went through a long lovestory with wireless headphones, mainly Enacfires. I started with their E18 headphones which impressed me for their price, however once these died and were replaced under warranty and died again, I remained with Enacfire and ordered the E20s. Again wireless and very impressive sound quality, with a charging case big enough to double as a battery bank. …

Seriously, who thought it would be a good idea to force cyclists to use the middle of the road? There is also a 1.5 metre overtake rule in place now where you'll literally have to be in the other lane. Cyclists are also being encouraged to be two abreast if with others to clog up lanes further. I can only see this increasing traffic jams, causing more rear-end accidents and generally antagonising drivers more against people who don't have to pay road tax or require any licence despite having hundreds of millions ploughed into unused cycle lanes over the years. If they think this will increase the amount of people that decide to bike then they are sorely deluded beyond any…

As its been a few days I thought I would ask you what everyone was grateful to receive this year from Santa? Maybe share gaming and other things perhaps if you feel comfortable. The gaming stuff may help us understand what gaming nights we can set up in 2022 btw... I received a few games for the PlayStation after looking at Amazon for weeks to help Mrs Santa 👀🤣. Disco Elysium, F1 2021, Assetto Corsa Competizione and Jurassic World Evolution 2. I've been waiting to get Disco for ages as its been widely received as one of the best games released over the last few years. Outside of that I received a few Blackburn Rovers goodies, best ones …

Been about a month since I was on the site so just figured I'd let you guys know I am alive. I ended up getting the rona right before Thanksgiving and was pretty sick for a few weeks with 103f temp for a week straight and unable to even get out of bed for a few days. Took about 3 weeks to get past it all and finally get my energy back but I'm prob about 75-85% back to normal now. My Mom also got it (shes 77) and had to spend 10 days in the hospital. She came home a few days ago and is on oxygen for a bit and I'm having to do everything for her so I still wont be around much for a bit till I can get her back on her feet without needing my assistance. If I …

Hey all, seeing as I’ve not played many games since Maddison was born it’s been hard to really contribute on here. So I’ve decided to do a post about money instead because I’m a shallow husk of a person and that’s all I can really talk about 😢 In all seriousness though, as we make our way out of what has been a really tough time for most people I felt like this might be a good time to offer some advice or at least my experience when it comes to securing financial freedom. There are so many ways to do this and I could go in for pages and pages but today I want to share what I’ve done for Maddison since her birth. I’m a fan of the low and slow investment…

We recently spent two weeks in Spain, and we had a really nice time. This is our first time using Iberia, and it's a good airline. We upgraded to premium economy, so that might be part of why, but it was a very comfortable flight. This is our second time in Spain, but the first time we stayed in Barcelona the entire week. We landed in Madrid and by the time we got through customs and got our rental car it was about 0900. We went to Segovia for the day, then returned to Madrid to check in to our hotel. We spent a few days in Madrid. TBH, Madrid wasn't my favorite. It was not bad mind you, it's hard to put a finger on it but it didn't seem to have the sam…

Yet another "happy place in Steve-topia" pretty much finished the gun room is about done. Only ones not on the new wall I built are a new tactical 12g which I'll be picking up from my FFL Mon/Tues & the home defense one which stays next to the bed. Everything is not only nicer looking in the new area, but nice and secure behind steel dead bolted doors, blocked off window, and also have a bunch of trigger locks on the way so that the only gun usable without being unlocked will be the home defense 12g I keep with me. I dunno if I'm an introvert whom hardly leaves home because Steve-topia is such a cool place....or if Steve-topia is such a cool place because I'…

Ever since Dave's Linux thread I've had a little niggling idea in the back of my head and I think now is as good a time as any to get cracking! First off, I'll personally be using Linux, because I've always wanted to learn it properly and this is as good a time as any. I have an old laptop at home which I'll stick Linux on and go from there. I'll be concentrating on Python as it's easy and fun to learn. The next step is looking for ideas. We need to create a goal which we as a community can work towards (those who are interested anyway). I need to learn about Github because it might help with this, but I'm yet to explore that (if anyone knows Github and wants to …

Best start a new thread then. This is more of a journal of what I'm doing, what I want to do, any challenges and stuff along the way. If it helps someone then great 🙂 First off, I absolutely loved it. It felt so good to be coding again, I forgot how much I enjoyed doing it, even if it's been 25 years or so since I last did anything. So after spending a few hours this weekend coding and fiddling, I now have a very basic COVID statistics tracker and a very basic weather app. The reason I did this is because I just can't stomach a full 8 hour lesson to have a simple bit of text saying "hello world" at the end as that's always been where I've lost inte…

Evening peeps. So after a 3 year break I have decided it’s time for another charity walk. in an effort to raise money for the Alzheimer’s Society on Saturday 11th September 2021 I will be walking from my home in Coventry to the Solutions Diverse head office in Kirkby Mallory via Hinckley, and back again via Nuneaton, totalling 36 miles, which should take roughly 12 hours. I am raising money for the Alzheimer’s Society as it is something that has affected my life as my Grandad suffered from it in his final years, and it is something that continues to affect countless people. I have created a Just Giving page which is below and any and all donations are massively appreciat…

Picked up a new big boy toy today. Took my CPL class last week and went today just to "look" at a few models. Was planning on maybe next month picking up the Glock 19 or 26, but after trying a few the guy that was helping me suggested what he carries which was the Glock 48. Soon as I held it I knew I found the one for me. Just fits my hand perfectly and felt great. I didn't plan on buying today but could not come home without it. Probably a good thing because I wanted to get it asap so I could get a lot of range time with it before I start carrying. Should have my CPL in 45 days but plan to wait prob 6 months to actually carry so that I get extremely fami…

Just got back last week from 2 weeks all alone on the Au Sable fly fishing. It's by far my most enjoyable thing I love doing, I'd rather be on the water with fly rod in hand than doing anything else in life. Was a great time. Stayed at the same lil' motel I have been staying at for many years now. Spent the first few days on the lower river chasing smallmouth on the fly. Then went upstream and trout fished for about 11 days after that. Had some good fish rising and hatches so caught a few nice trout on dry flies. Spent the evenings when I wasn't fishing into the night back at the motel watching TV alone and relaxing. Was a very enjoyable time. Here's just a few of th…

Only bad thing about being gone on vacation for 2 weeks is that the weeds take over the garden. Spent the past 3 days pulling weeds and working on the bonsai garden literally 6-8hrs each day. Finally all back in shape with weeds all gone and shrubs all trimmed and shaped. Also found a pair of large pots at a yard sale last month and didn't know what to do with them. So today I cleaned them up and flipped the bottom one mounting the top one to the flipped one making a huge vase shape. Then sank some blocks into the ground for a platform and replanted my 5 tree spruce bonsai forest into it. Next spring there are plans to dig about a 600-700g pond further back since the Koi …

On Sept 13th, 2004, a man who had fled to a war zone to save himself from himself was able to marry a woman who was brave enough to go against her family and her culture in the name of love. In the summer of 2003 the man had an epiphany. For reasons that are irrelevant to this story, he realized he needed to start over before his behaviors destroyed him. He remembered the last place he'd been happy was the military, but with his fucked up knee he'd probably not get far in trying to reenlist. He also wanted more freedom than an enlisted man had. So he became a security contractor, moved half way around the world away from all influences and alcohol, and before Chri…

Anyone have a pet or pets? Care to share pictures, stories, etc.? I used to have a female Black Labrador named Daisy. I loved that dog more than I can explain. She was my friend. I miss her dearly. I'll post some pictures later. But, she and I used to go swimming together. I'd throw a stick as far as I could out into the lake and we'd race to it. That bitch beat me every time. We had a ball walking trails together, wrestling around, or just chilling on the couch. Here's a quick study that talks about animals having feelings just like humans. Most pet owners already know this, but scientists sometimes feel the need to prove things in studies.
