It doesn't really work that way in Afghanistan. Afghanistan is just a line on a map which has little relevance to the Afghans who live there. Their priority is to their family and tribe - there's no real concept of nationhood for them. They took jobs in the "army" because it was a steady...

Well, I guess a 1% chance is pretty high if we're talking about stuff like extinction level asteroid impact events in the next 100 years.

It's because everything that's happened is confluent. If your PC has only stopped booting after you'd inserted an exceptionally damaged GPU into it and nothing else changed, then it's not a huge synaptic leap to conclude that your exceptionally damaged GPU has visited damage upon the...

The only thing I can really say is that despite slurping up loads of electricity, PCs are really sensitive to that electricity going places it shouldn't. The Microwaving of the GPU will have fundamentally damaged it's ability to wrangle it's electricity, and it may ultimately have allowed this...

If you read the OP literally, it sounds like he's actually building a robotic wife to stream Netflix.

"Hi, I'm Master Chief and Xbox Body wash is the only brand I trust to get the smell of plasma fried Covenant giblets out of my hair after a hard day down at the Silent Cartographer".

"Below Expectations" is the kiss of death, isn't it - in the language of EA?

I have a 144hz monitor. That's how I learned I can't really see above 80 :(

I'm pretty convinced that my body does it's best to save me money. I don't need to bother with 4k as my preferred monitor size for gaming is 27" - I don't need fancy sound headphones as I've had the worst tinnitus going my entire life. Never going to be a fighter pilot as I swear to god I can't...

I suspect by bidding low, and for the most part people will go for the lowest number, rather than the lowest number that can be delivered without having to treat your employees like crap. It's absolutely horrific in the UK with the Government, who accept rock bottom bids from companies, who then...

For everyone who would never take a teleporter because of the implications, I recommend Stephen King’s short story “The Jaunt”. It won’t make you feel any better, but then he’s mostly a horror writer.

And all the baby boomers are selfish arses who took advantage of social programs, cheap housing and free university education before pulling the ladder up after them. Look, I can make sweeping character judgements about huge numbers of people because it fits my own outlook on the world as well...

You struggle to believe that anyone younger than 38 would sign up to a streaming service?

Well, it would contribute to an aging population, as well as overpopulation generally...

This is crazy. You don’t have to go 100% one way or the other. I love streaming for the convenience and variety. If there’s a film that I love and want to have in my (highly curated) collection, I buy it on disc. Why on Earth have we got adults calling one another morons or worse because of...

Well I definitely picked the wrong year to leave my high paying senior management role to go and work for a charity for bits of string. Guess I’ll skip this gen and save for the next one.
