Since the start of the invasion there has been countless news articles, videos, tweets etc. on the situation in Ukraine.
The Wikipedia post sums up quite nicely the gist of how it started:
On 24 February 2022, Russia launched a large-scale invasion of Ukraine , its neighbour to the southwest, marking the largest escalation of the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian War that began in 2014. Russian President Vladimir Putin , claiming that post-1997 enlargement of NATO was a security threat, demanded that Ukr…

You know what I just realised…
Last year @GregRedd endeavoured to write a massive piece on the “Day of the Year”, and succeeded splendidly. And he did that every single day of the year, 365 days in a row. So, while I myself am still in the race, I want to place a R100 bet on @GregRedd winning this. I know it’s early days, which means the odds should be high and the return on the bet just as high

I reckon that’s a safe bet. Still, we can put the pressure on and make him work for it

Don’t fall for it folks… A fool and his money are soon parted.
Alternatively, take Hammers bet then PM your offer to me to throw the competition so you win. I’m prepared to take a 50% split if the winnings are high enough.

Sorry @Solitude I didn’t post my thread for last week. Here it is.
Here’s a fun little metric I found while listening to the Triple Click Podcast (Link to the podcast if you are interested ). In the discussion Kirk Hamilton (ex-Kotaku reviewer and writer) came up with an interesting way to profiling open-world games. Similar to the personality tests, there are sliding scale metrics by which open-world games can be categorised.
His theory is this, any open-world game can be ranked on three different metrics:
Emergent - Controlled (How dynamic/simulated is the o…

I figured to split this into a topic since we all use the threadkiller and sometimes the questions gets lost in the noise.
So 2 things I am sharing today:
1st :
Since the situation we are in as a family, I have been doing my research and reading to see what is ahead for us and maybe give me insight on what is going on in dad’s head (we want to book a meeting with the neuro surgeon to ask a lot of questions - why did they do the burr holes on top of the head and not closer to the brain bleed a…
I have to say I gave the guy a 5 star rating, it arrived in better condition than I expected literally the day after I paid. So impressed and it all works
Two topics, does it count? no idea

Topic:
This map shows the most frequently searched for “meaning of dream about…” terms around the world. “Snake” related dreams are by far the most frequently searched for dreams - tops the list in 52 countries. Second most common is “teeth falling out” in 17 countries.
For someone like me who has zero dream recall at all, “teeth falling out” is a bit of an odd one. Has anyone here ever had a dream where your teeth have been falling out?

There’s a fair few other dream searches that are also…
