  1. I would like to offer up a few points...

     

    1. The EU leadership is self appointed, with no oversight. ANYONE can get in if the people already in allow it.

    2. The EU currently taxes the UK more than any other member.

    3. The UK has the least amount of representation of any country in the EU.

    4. The UK has EU enforced limits on its economic capabilities, artificially hindering all aspects of the UK economy.

     

    Just thought I'd put those forth, do with them what you will.

  2. I can understand there being exception like North Korea, but my beef with the Fallout's timeline is that it implies the whole world, with the one major exception being America, simply stopped being relevant or culturally distinct. That just smacks of literary and imaginative laziness to me.

    Nuclear fallout, and massive war devastation for almost all areas outside the USA... If you could manage to get enough food to survive, you would still have a nearly impossible time trying to form a civilization of any importance. (especially considering that an 'important' city in the Fallout universe is any location with more than 20 permanent residents, and the biggest 'country' being the NCR with around 700,000 people of various levels of mutation/irradiation spread across most of the southwestern USA over 100 years after its formation)

  3. 8/10 One of the most famous scenes in movie history with the "You make me wish I had three hands!" scene.

     

    “O Master, make me chaste, but not yet!” - St. Augustine (even saints want random sex without consequences)

  4. I know HEAPS of people love streaming. I just don't really understand why. I've weighed the pros and cons and the cons are abundant. XD

    Couldn't agree more!

     

    The only kind of streaming I can watch is the live news broadcast on TV...

  5. I had about $5000 worth of materials invested in the prototype, but lost the device almost a decade ago when I moved... I have yet to come across the materials needed, or enough money to buy the materials, in order to duplicate the experimentation that led to the design. (I also don't have any of my original design documents, which were on heavily encrypted CD, and buried in my private geocache in Arizona)

     

    The reason I went to the military first was because I had a friend that got me in touch with the people that could get me in the running, (the multi-million dollar running, and a very lucrative military R&D contract) and it was their superiors that nixed my designs without any consideration.

  6. In that case, you could just throw rocks at trees, and see how much damage you can do... It rarely does any significant damage to the tree, and always makes me feel better.

  7. 9/10 Very cool movie.

     

    “Anyone who is observant, who discovers the person they have always dreamed of, knows that sexual energy comes into play before sex even takes place. The greatest pleasure isn't sex, but the passion with which it is practiced. When the passion is intense, then sex joins in to complete the dance, but it is never the principal aim.” - Paulo Coelho
