- Comment on Alcohol is "amazing" - Kurzgesagt 13 hours ago:
When you don’t drink often, drinking just a little might not be worth the downsides. You lose tolerance for alcohol fast, and you realise that getting a buzz doesn’t actually feel that great, and isn’t worth feeling worse the next day which can happen after just a couple of beers.

One year is more like the protection is so good that you probably won’t even get sick.
I think it also depends a lot on the vaccine though. Something like meningitis or the MMR seem to be much much longer lasting, when you’ve had your shots you don’t need them again.

If you believe that an omnipotent God designed everything to be exactly how it is, then its a perfectly logical statement. But then you also have to accept that God gives kids cancer.
- Comment on System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster review - a careful makeover that doesn’t wholly stave off the ravages of time 1 month ago:
What are you talking about bad voice acting? DX:MD was all serious and professional but it lacked the comic charm of lines like “A bomb’s a bad choice for close range combat”.

I would interpret this to mean that your 15 minute break is now a 30 minute break.

In the end the RAF are the ones supplying and supporting the terrorist Israeli regime.
- Comment on Devil May Cry isn't that great of a series 1 month ago:
Agree. 5 was a fun spectacle but the character switching really was ass, and playing as V it felt like the winning strategy was just buttonmashing. Still was very happy it got made after DMC.

That X1950 pro and Core 2 Duo are pretty awesome if the year is 2007. 5400rpm HDD lets it down a bit though.
- Comment on The joy of quitting a shit job with an asshole boss 2 months ago:
If your employer is paying you the bare minimum, then you’re the sucker if you’re putting in more than the bare minimum of effort.
Sure, if you work really hard you might get some recognition in the form of a thank you and perhaps a gift worth less than $50. If you do it for long enough you might get a promotion and a pay rise - but you’ll still be earning far less than the person they hired from outside to do the same job and you’ll have worked much harder for it.
In most companies, 99% of the benefit from you working hard goes to the owners. They don’t give you any more than 1% because they don’t have to.

What about Bogdan, who was catapulted into space in 1377 in a freak trebuchet accident which was never recorded?

So? A lot of people dont have PAYE income, they still have income. What point are you trying to make? Are you trying to argue that £181k doesnt put you in the top 1%?
- Comment on The Telegraph has deleted the seemingly made-up article 2 months ago:
Top 1% of income from all sources which includes your 200 mega rich families. 1% of 70m people is 700k people. Of course the top 0.1% are way richer.
- Comment on The Telegraph has deleted the seemingly made-up article 2 months ago:
I think most people would see that as ultra rich or super rich. To most people “rich” means having significantly more money than them. So given that the median salary in the UK is £37k, most people would probably say someone on £80k is rich, even though its pretty easy to earn that much and still want for more.

The reference is from his first book which was all about his experiences living with the downtrodden in Paris and London. In fact that’s why he used the pen name George Orwell - he didn’t want to risk harming the reputation of his middle class family.

£181k is all you need to be in the top 1% in the UK.

They’re pretty telegraphed, but you don’t get iframes in real life. All the gorilla needs to do is sweep his arms and grab you and then he can just rip you apart.
- Comment on The clueless people are out there among us 3 months ago:
Europlugs are small, similar to us plugs. But the bulky schuko is very common in Europe. Europlugs are compatible with schuko sockets and many others.
You can fit two or three europlug sockets in the same amount of space as one schuko or British socket.

Everything. Map, factions, units, weapons, companions, knighthood orders, horde armies. Its just the biggest and highest quality conversion mod I’ve played.

Looks like a common brown snake. Second most venomous in the world. It won’t kill you in 2.5s, but a bite on the arse could do you in in an hour.
