  Iceland - all religious beliefs are mental disorders
Posted by: Lilith7 - 15-01-2022, 02:42 PM - Forum: News and Current Affairs - Replies (20)

How interesting it will be to see what, if anything comes of this. Found it over the way & had a look...the world is a weird place. And humans are crazy.

"[b]*Reykyavik, Iceland ÔÇô┬á[/b]This small island country in the North Atlantic is home to many controversies. The countryÔÇÖs parliament┬ávoted in 2017 to place mental health warnings on all Bibles. In that same year, the nation took another secular step forward┬áby banning American televangelists. Iceland is now declaring all religions to be psychological disorders."


I think we have the perfect penalty for the McBishop - send the bugger to Iceland for a year or several; no preaching permitted. Angel

  Yoghurt
Posted by: Oh_hunnihunni - 15-01-2022, 01:35 PM - Forum: Recipes - Replies (10)

I make my own yoghurt. Sort of. With a very simple electric yoghurt  maker, various methods but recently using Hansell's Greek yoghurt powder. And this past week for some reason I had more than I used, a lot more, and so decided to try to make frozen yoghurt, flavoured with a bit of lemon curd I had in the freezer. Seemed simple enough, yoghurt in the food processor, add sugar to retard freezing, blitz till sugar incorporated, add curd, pulse to combine, pour into container and freeze, occasionally stirring to bring frozen edges into the mix and add more air.

My big mistake was tasting it. I may have created my new addiction. Big Grin

  What a nutjob!
Posted by: C_T_Russell - 15-01-2022, 12:35 PM - Forum: Covid-19 - Replies (3)

Just bumped into someone the other day that said to me that viruses(and germ theory) is not real (including common cold, flu, covid, etc) and that getting "the flu" its just the bodys way of ridding itself naturally of its "toxins" quoted some book published from 1945.
Just looked like a load of pseudo-science BS to me!

Now these people are trying to tell others that Covid is not a real virus? WTF?
This all seems to fall into flat earth territory to me, and sadly ive met a few of those too!

  Our freedoms are being taken away...
Posted by: C_T_Russell - 15-01-2022, 12:25 PM - Forum: Opinion and Politics - Replies (96)

Does anyone else feel that the west is slowly turning totalitarian?

Very interesting video here (only goes for 8mins)
Religion has controlled mankind for centuries, and so is government.
We need to be aware of the techniques being used so we can wake up.
One day we wont even be able to speak our minds. Not trying to shout conspiracy theories, but there is definitely something going on.
Remember, you own your sovereignty and cant be taken away from you!

  Vive Cosmos VR Headset
Posted by: cookee_nz - 15-01-2022, 09:24 AM - Forum: Computing and Technology - Replies (2)

Anyone here have any experience with the Vive Cosmos VR unit?

My Grandson got one for Xmas from his parents and we've had no end of trouble getting it to work.

The main issue seems to be the Vive Setup Desktop application and internet searches indicate this is a very common problem.

The PC is up to the task and is an absolutely clean new install of Win 10, latest version.  No other SW has been installed, AV & FW temporarily disabled as a precaution.

So all the obvious expected steps have been done but no joy.

Really looking for someone with experience of this particular device that might have more experience.

I'm completely new to the world of VR, and there is plenty I have to learn such as "Steam" etc and far better to get the benefit of someone familiar with it.

Thanks in advance

Cookee

  The happiest I have ever been...
Posted by: Oh_hunnihunni - 15-01-2022, 09:14 AM - Forum: General Discussion - Replies (17)

I am inspired by a farcebook pic of a bronze plague attached to a wall on a street in Exeter, that said 'I don't like text in art but walking along this street holding the hand of the girl I loved was the happiest I have ever been'. It made me think about 'happiest' moments, and I think I have had more than one, and there may still be room for a few more.

Being in love and married to the most incredible man, hearing my child tell me I was her favourite person, several times each of my parents gave me some serious heartfelt praise, a couple of rather glorious day trips when I had my road bikes, and getting that hard won bit of paper that was so important back then, but not so much now. Those are some of mine.

These days perhaps contentment is a better place to be, but I wonder about your happiest moments - are they as precious and yet as ordinary as mine, or are they the enormous peaks of achievement we are sometimes told we should aim for?

Hiya,
Does anyone know what these came out of, and when? There's no identifying print on them, the underside has the car make and nothing else. I'm thinking late 70s or early 80s era:

  Browser issues
Posted by: harm_less - 13-01-2022, 09:24 PM - Forum: Computing and Technology - Replies (5)

Over the last hour I have stopped being able to access websites using Firefox and am now doing so using Edge but it is very slow to load up content. Email (Thunderbird) working fine though maybe a bit slow.

Have done a full scan using ESET and it was unable to open 4 files in various places on my computer but no nasties detected. Also did a Malwarebytes scan which found nothing.

I did notice MS did an update overnight last night so suspicious about downstream effects of that...

Is anybody else having similar issues?

  Prince Andrew
Posted by: Oldfellah - 13-01-2022, 09:13 PM - Forum: General Discussion - Replies (37)

Virginia Guiffre, now 38, alleges the Duke of York sexually assaulted her on three occasions when she was under the age of 18. She also claims convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell lent her out for sex with powerful associates, including the prince. He has denied all allegations.

So where are these other powerful associates who had sex with her, why is she only gunning for the prince? Im not saying he did or didn't sexually assault her but there must be a reason why he is the only one named, or are their others?

I am sure I saw a unicron go past the window yesterday.
Is it related to the Omnicorn.
