  1. Live on wirral, either way good of you to offer and thank you.
  2. Yeah will try that tomorrow, just trying a couple of people we have been recommended won't rip us off first. It fucking sucks, we can deal with it a few days but seriously dunno how people with family's or sick way worse than a bit of arthritis cope. That thought just hit me now when I saw the thread title and realised things will be getting worse for alot of people.
  3. Today really hits hoelme how some people are going to be screwed, our boiler died so no hot water or central heating and can't get any bugger out. I have arthritis and my mum is in her 80's, it is bloody freezing we are sat huddled up in duvets around small heater. Guy we use at mates rates has covid, has told us it is a biggish job and will be a few hundred just for part. So looks like will be a few days at least. Hopefully won't be for long but, it is not something I have really experience since I was a young kid.
  4. Yeah make sure to get vector format from whoever makes it, that way it can be scaled correctly. If you are struggling to find someone here we have used fiverr.com for that sort of stuff before. Essentially it is people selling their skills. Find someone highly rated and have a chat with them. Usually there is a time difference as they tend to be in poorer countries, but are ultra helpful and some if the stuff they do is excellent.
  5. If you want something to have a laugh with family Christmas day grab Beat Saber dead simple and anyone can pick it up and play, can have family tournament. Half Life: Alex or Resident Evil 4VR if you want horror / atmospheric. If you like online 1st person shooters Contractors is decent.
  6. You can play alot of games in vr with 3rd party mods seen RDR2 and loads of other stuff. Back in days of DK1 there was very little out so a huge % used stuff like VorpX to make compatible. The games made for 2d always seemed to make me more sick than usual. In other news we make Q2 stocks for 1st person shooters and not been able to keep up with demand recently, it's been crazy. We can't really afford to throw money at more 3d printers (have 3 more coming already). Looks like it has potential to turn into a proper buisness rather than a side gig. Don't really know what we are doing buisness wise but few people have been kind enough to help with advice, logos and artwork etc in exchange for a stock. Have to wait until after christmas and see what demand is like then look at things again. Shame brexit has fucked us over, everyting takes longer and is more expensive. However, we sell direct rather than export / import large quantities so are a little shielded from the idiotic mess somewhat.
  7. Doesnt compete with the shit above but custom gun stocks for VR controllers used in FPS games, designed and made by my husband with input from me. Some parts 3d printed, 1st designed in solidworks then sliced in cura other parts are hand made.
  8. I didn't think it possible but I actually preferred this thread when Gnasher was replying to himself with articles he thought said the oposit of his point.
  9. Funnily enough I was saying to the husband the other day it needs to be claimed back. I have begun replying to people: "yes I am fucking woke and proud to be. It means I actually try to have some empathy with others" to anyone who says it in that patronising, way. Claim it back and try to make sure people know it stands for human decency. Proud to be Woke!
  10. So I set close to the away end and in all honesty didnt hear the "rent boys" chant. What I did see though where several gestures from people that where obviously meant to indicate the away fans were gay, if some do not associate the "rent boys" phrase with sexuality others most certainly do. It was mostly from guys who seemed a bit older late 50's+ one even was told to cut it out by a steward so he must have continued doing it while the game was being played and I was not turned towards him. Personally I had never heared it until Abramavich era, however, I am dont disputing this from people who are a bit older and remember going in to 70's / 80's. Not that this counts for much, if it is genuinely a contentious issue for LGBT+ then people need to just let it go, imo. It all seems very at odds with how, for example, the racist tossers where effectively kicked out of town and made to hide in lost luggage area of Lime Street. I find it difficult to understand how we as a community and city can be closed minded to one form of hatefulness and not another, when we are told by the group in focus that they are uncomfortable. I sometimes go with my older brother he comes up from Kent - the guy was more of a dad to me than my father, he is of an age where he was in the closet until late 30's. I think I would have felt very awkward about it if he was there which very much answers the question should it be sung for me. My brother is actually emigrating because the country has become so hateful in many areas, final straw was verbal abuse for walking with this husband a couple of days after his husband having a coke can thrown at his head because he is Asian.
  11. Don't suppose I can scrounge a second please?
  12. Monkey brains, microchips donated by Facebook and then exposed to 5g rayz! (It depends on how much detail you want tbh. I obviously left several steps out of both so would depend on which stage. Been building 3d printer all day and tired. To wrap your head around it I would recommend nature or new scientist. NS is sub only but can bypass with firefox or kiwi and addon. Few bits on YouTube also, just check to see it's credible channel 1st. Sorry brain is fryed tonight...must be due to activation when I was in a 5g area earlier today...) Edit : https://www.nature.com/articles/nrd.2017.243 note date deliberatly chose because published pre covid. I have only read overview and not full article that should help answer some questions, hopefully. If too involved some yt vids on rna / dna replication / amplifcation, how something like crispr-cas9 works will give you idea how to 'cut and splice'.
  13. It is synthesised. That is why decoding the spike protine was a huge breakthrough. These vaccines, whilst they are new, the concept was not just the knowlage of how to actually achieve had been lacking. The DNA vaccine uses a piece CoVid RNA converted to DNA then inserts DNA to weakened adenovirus that is harmless to human, this provoke the immune response. Incase someone doesn't know RNA is single stranded DNA, so you can then use the RNA code to produce DNA. I mean you can say stuff looks horrendous, but at end of day most will willingly expose themselves to radiation, keamotheopy etc when they have cancers. Others actually chose to inject themselves with botulinum toxin. Some ingredients of vaccines over years are bloody awful, there is alot goes in to it though for eg amount of said ingredients.
  14. Decided to give firecube a go myself, as it was half price, acts like an amazon speaker without remote and allows for ethernet connection without buying anything extra. It is quite decent tbh, I wouldn't have paid full price for it but deffo worth it at the sale price amazon regularly have.
  15. Some stuff I have picked up over last few years, whilst looking about for better online privacy. These sites maybe of use to you: https://www.reddit/r/privacytoolsIO https://www.privacytools.io Lots of stuff there about keeping things private. There website is connected to the reddit. Firefox, Firefox containers (separates websites in to discrete containers so eg can have seperate container for email, one for shopping, one for social networks and no tracking between containers), LocalCND or Decentraleyes and Ublock Origin (use on interactive mode and block whatever elements you want) are a good place to start. Startpage and Quant are good alternative none tracking search engines. I also use a vpn if I use torrents, this can also be useful for hiding also - Nord right now as very good deal.
  16. I was give 2x Pfizer last Sat, I had to call up my GP and ask for it as nearest place I was offered online I would have had problems with places I was offered through NHS page. Straight in no weighting around and because I had partner with me and suffer have anxiety / clostrophobia was allowed to wait outside in fresh air. Was lucky no side effects at all. The other half has some family members who are being all anti vaccine about it, apparently it fucks with your DNA! Yeah right that's exactly how mRNA or adenovirus vectors work, I have even tried to explain... OK it is true, I give in. Incedently I have a way to stop this from happening at all... a hat, lined with special designed 0.2mm foldable, light weight, metallic material that can reflect any electromagnetic fields. Adapted to which ever type of fashionable or even unfashionable headgear you like. Only £99.99 delivered. It is definitely not a Tin Foil hat, it is a personal Faraday Cage for your head!
  17. Have a pair of Samsung buds + or whatever I bought on offer with my phone. They are OK, but I am kind of spoilt with headphones. No need to worry about losing as they usually have a locator setting where a noise is sent to them if you lose one. Usually for me though it is in the house and the cat has stole - it the little tosser, doesn't help it tweets like a bird when it is lost... Usually just use over ears noise cancelling to tune everybody out. Currently Sony WM1000MX4, very light weight and great battery life, which meant I actually didn't buy a pair of Senns this time.
  18. Unhitches Oust? Wait think I have it... Niche Shutouts
  19. CX is a fantastic telly, we went to picked one up a short while back and managed a gx for same price. Same screen though just lower profile for fitting on wall.
  20. Think I just ported number and used GiffGaff PAYG. Worked fine for me and never had a problem. I didn't even bother with dual sim, I just switched the sim over on the 1st of every month for 10 min and checked website.
  21. Shit posting and gifs are what the internet was invented for, besides what thread on here doesnt descend to the nonsensical? It is why I keep returning.
  22. Well it is not just about advertising the womens game, like you say maybe it is also to try and have more women watching the mens game as well also. I know plenty of women who watch the mens game, I go to my seat in the Main Stand and see a good amout of women there - much more so when I was a kid, when I would not really see many other girls / women. There has been a slow growth over the years, football authorities / tv companies prob believe the mens game is saturated in most countries, with the sky era widening socio-economic strata who are interested. It is easy to see what demographics are currently watching the game on tv by advertisments at time half are targeting and it is not women. So 50% of population have never really been targeted in the same way - kachinge. More viewers = more sponsers = more revenue and advertises throwing money around and the gravy train continues on its path for a few years longer. As for the womens game, there is indeed a hugh push to garner interest, so it is absolutly about trying to make it more relevent. As you say there is also the money making potential, quick google says FIFA alone generated $4.1bn in 2019, even if womens game managest to generate just 20% of what mens game does evryone is quids in. A female match commontator convieniently pushes both points and gives the impression of inclusivity, when lets face it - money is the real issue same as always. Shame really, as instead of looking for someone who will stand out with their knowlage and talent, it is same criterior they look for in the men, ie often than not an ex player who can string a couple of sentances togeather. Sadly the bar has not exactly been set high in this regaurd in recent times and makes little difference if it is a male of female voice churning out clichés, and talking about scenarios they have never experianced. Or maybe I am full of shit and being cynical? Nah.
