  1. Dont sell .STL have had quite a few people attempting to rip off our designs, only thing is they tend to do it badly so selling the STL would make things too easy. We also constantly tweek and refine designs so they just become better, already have given people a headstart, so I am quitye protective of them. However, if someone ever wanted to make a serious offer to buy them out then maybe I dunno, it is my husband who does the autocad stuff, I maintain and build the printers sever stuff and help with the design concepts and problem solving around them. We were going to injection mould, however that provided a 2 fold problem, the 1st was when we started up we literally had nothing, and scrapped togeather enough for a single printer and build from there. No way we had 10k just for the moldings. The second issue was like I said we constantly tweek stuff to improve. We could lock designs down but there is a need to be agile as for us it is also about a love of gaming and tech, so constantly pushing the market and bringing ideas - something that has been missing from these perfiierals for years.
  2. Not Airsoft but similar kind of thing in that it is pretending to fire at random stragers just on the internet insteasd - VR 1st person shooters, I can play like 10 mins now before I begin to throw up due to motion sickness! The other half and I actually design, build and sell VR stocks to lock the controllers in to postifion and mimic the feeling of a realistic gun for VR gameplay. He actually invented this whole thing and created the market, although it is a bit of a bugbear of mine that he didnt persue it untill very recently and let other people steal a march on us. Dosnt martter thohgh because most designs are very flawed due to designers not being trained in product design so use solutions that look right but dont work right, having not shot in real life so the angels are all wrong, or even just not enjoying gaming that much! (Sorry prob sounds a little conceted I actually have fun helping design these things and am quite proud of our designs and what we have managed so far). Here is what we currently sell bar the pistol - that is still something that we are playing about with and have something pretty cool lined up. The lower 2 may look a little goofy but one if pure competition so lightweight and the other people still want a bottom mounted conmtroller and not someting that looks gunlike.
  3. Yeah but will he be able to rap? Fuck the engurland caps bit though.
  4. Well could be worse, could have had nearly 9k emptied out of your bank account in 5 mins... Oh wait that happened as well. Edit: my buisness account that is I m not that rich unfortunately.
  5. Tbh I think part of the problem is there is no mandatory study if economics in schools. We have huge amounts of people who are so economically illiterate, don't know what GDP means and think a nations economy can be compared to a house hold budget and credit cards. We have a lack of critical thinking tought and debate brought down to lazy 3 word slogans / lowest common denominator / misty eyed recollections of "better times" like during the war, or the 70s. Yeah never mind that ww2 cost countless lives and we had rationing for years after or the 70s when we were the dirty man of europe and utterly broken. I could go on but I am ranting now. Dyslexic and not checked post so prob funny me whinging about literacy when I can't even spell without checker
  6. Becomes more expensive to borrow = less money in system = less demand for goods = less price rises. So yeah ignores problem of price rises are not just because of increased demand... alot needs fixing, this is not how to fix it. Edit: Not 100% on this and not heared it mentioned yet but stagflation is something that might be mentioned in MSM soon enough ie high prices and economic down turn....yay its the 70s apparently.
  7. The famous Man United went to Rome to see the pope and this is what he said... You have a poorer record in Europe than Liverpool, best of luck in your game tonight, you will still be someway behind them whatever the result though.
  8. Monkey pox is DNA based so less likley to mutate as quick as covid (an RNA virus) in to dif variants. I think there is already a vac for it but sod all avaliable world wide. Any vax hopefully will begin to be developed quicker in the near future now google as its open source AlphaFold is avaliable. It is able to accurately predict how a protein will fold 3 dimentionally and has a massively increased from something like 1 million structures to 200 million. https://www.independent.co.uk/tech/google-ai-deepmind-protein-universe-b2133786.html I actually watched a little YT vid on a channel I am subbed to as well kind of science entertainment chan. It is very lite and easy to watch. Anyway as far as I know it is a case of being sensible - think of it like I dunno measles or chicken pox, on don't go touching other peopels scabs! Edit: disclaimer, not massive expert just something I studied at uni and kept an interest in.
  9. Who is the person of the dubious perentage in the dark attire? The adjudicator self abuses. Ohhhhh you're substandard ahhhhhh. Soccer is returning to the place of its first association.
  10. My 1st post in this thread so... CUNT, UTTER CUNNTING WANKSTAIN ON HUMANITY. Hope this makes a positive contribution to the discussion.
  11. There is similar awsome one Stockholm museum from early 1600's called Vasa, recovered from Sholm harbour. They say it is world's best preserved 17th century ship and the recoved alot of artifacts from her has she sank on made voyge and didn't even make it out to open sea. They actually salvaged guns from it using a diving bell shortly after it sank. I know diving bells century's old, everytime I read about them being used back then though I find amazing that is was successful given construction techniques. Anyway Vasa: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasa_(ship) I also used to do quite a bit of scuba diving before I had a massive ear problem, used to find wreks amazing. Although sadly this happened fairly early on for me, so never really managed to get too in to it. There are quite a few round and about always wanted to go up to Scapa Flow, as you can imagine it is wreck divers dream, with all sorts of ww2 and ww1 ships as shallow as 12m: https://www.scapaflowwrecks.com/wrecks/ If you learn to dive around the North West like I did, they tend to take you to quarries where they have sunk various boats, helicopters, small planes etc. for divers.
  12. Been using unlocked TiVi Mate for a long time, I am guessing they just paid for it to be re-branded so not switched partially becaus they use that overly bright blue colour for back ground and I cba messing with setting fav chans and playing with settings again. It is the best IPTV app I have used - quick, quite intuative and looks nice - usually a darkish grey. TiVi Mate not great for touch screen, still use Smarters for devices that need this.

    Monarchy

    Remember my brother graduation at Lancaster, I was about 9 or 10 and had been given his SLR and nice lens to take pics while he was busy and to keep myself entertained. The chancellor (princess Alexander?) saw small girl with big camera and asked for me to be brought over and introduced...I declined! Even as a kid I am not sure I ever agreed with monarchy as a principle.
  14. Maybe too far away for you as Bromborough but they do zoom and have a place in Liverpool as well I think. I use these accountants. wainwrightsaccountants.co.uk About £95 a month for 2x self assessment, buisness account for ltd company, 1x payroll, vat and book-keeping software etc. They seem OK, keen to move as much out of buisness to me as possible, which for me is kind of the point of half decent accountant!
  15. Is Saren still the goto? I have just that and I think The Crew as an alternative which has been OK.
  16. Wtf they didn't use a slimer in promo? amateurish tbh!
  17. The mesh system has been great tbh, nearly bought dirt cheap one and then upgrade when the 6E ones were out. In end went with AX system Asus one, pleased I stopped procrastinating about it and just did it. Has been great, and runs all the devices flawlessly. Dead easy to setup and use too.
  18. Think we are on Virgin 500mb, they are crap if things go wrong but I have not had anything go wrong for many years, usually have this speed too. Their WiFi is crap and I became pissed off about 6 months ago so decided to fox myself. Now just use their router in modem mode and have a couple of Asus XT8's and a single XD4 mini to cover very back of house / garden. The XT8s would prob cover whole place if it was more strategic placing them but I decided to hardwire the 2 togeather and run all my media and one pc through a network switch hardwired to the satellite xt8. Also running a server from home that is connected to our 3d printer farm for the buisness, each printer has a camera feed and I can then access this from anywhere so need solid wifi in the house to make this possible. I had countless BT people testing the lines to the house and a connection that was dropping regularly so decided to say screw it and went with virgin, which has been solid ever since. We now have the option of FTTP through BT wholesale so might look to jump ship. Ideally I would have a tri band Asus Ax modem / router as I can them be more strategic with one of the XT8. Although finding one seems to be a bit of a pain in the arse righ now. My buisness can pay for it as an expense apparently, because we work from home. Might just fuck everything off and just iptv / kodi and the best connection I can find. Also need decent upload speed for said server and uploading videos to YT. Thinking Zen or idnet as both have been going ages and have great reputations.
  19. They said at one point the USM who sponsored them was a different USM from the Russian one. They also only suspended the deals rather than cancel them completely like other companies did. Good to know the bastions of football integrity are still leading the way in what is right and corinthian spirit is still alive in the world of professional football.
  20. Personaly I wouldn't worry too much about age, giving her suitable time limits ofc. I have had kids as young as 5 using VR (supervised ofc) and as old as being in 80s. We have given proberbly hundreds of people their 1st VR experience as we have been using VR headsets since 2013. The husband would take our old DK1 and PC in to the school he taught for open evenings, kids from primamy school and parents checking the local schools out and have minecraft maths challanges, also on end of term he would take in steering wheel and have the do time trials 11-16 year olds. Only problems we had was some would be motion sickness which could happen at any age. Was mainly due to the poor resolution and fps that the very early models had. There is alot of really fun games and experiences that can be had, and really fire her imagination. Deep sea, trip across solar system, games you can make stupid contraptions, all sorts. Besides, I have vested intrest in people loving VR because we sell VR stocks for first person shooters.
  21. OG have a site where you can see schedule btw, need your username and password. I won't give anything out to do with them bar saying if you go to their site and click #fixtures you are given instructions on how to see sport schedules.
  22. Umm not 100% on this but tbh I am not sure how 1 speaker will help you out. If it were me I would prob buy a pair of book shelf speakers. Sit them either side if tv or either side of room, you will have some sound separation and stereo output. As the name implys they are made to fit on bookshelf and come in various styles and budgets. A half decent pair will undoubtedly help your experience, then later on if it was me I would be looking at a sub, if I had the room. Oh and obviously you have to make sure they can connect direct to TV, optical or audio jack.
  23. Moved back from Sweden because sick family member, silver lining was I qualified for ST along with 3 other member of my family after Main Stand expansion. We were put on the list when I was still at school and finally qualified. We have 4 seats togeather which is pretty great. If one of us can't go I sell it through the club and leave it on our accounts ready for next season. Before Sweden the terrible phone sales, where you had about 3 dif phones. It would be dial...welcome to ticket line we are to buisy to take call goodbye and would end up with pone bills that cost more than the tickets. Think we used to be on PTS until they changed ratio of tickets to members.
  24. My nan and lots of my mums familly lived in Portland Gardens, presumably they were having fun with the name because there wasn't any greenery insight - unless you count the odd dandelion. They all kept their places nice inside but even as a kid you could see it was rough. Same with where I lived, although both my parents worked and we were OK, some absolutely dives around.
  25. Hopefully this is sorted, used link from @Harry's Ladorriginally online and said friday. So called mentioned my mum was with us and had asthma and arthritis and apparently are sending out someone today. BG agent couldn't find the fix for free offer (was not me who made call) but still will be alot cheaper as similar scheme. Thought get it sorted then can use the 14 day cooling off to sort us out and get on the correct scheme. Even if we can't looks like we will be sorted sooner rather than later. Cheers GF!
