    Aston Villa vs Burnley - Saturday December 30th - 3pm

    I'm done with the other night, haven't posted about it, avoided mention of it and stayed away from all social media. We'll get them back in February at Villa Park. On to Burnley, a rare Saturday 3pm kick-off, and like all games under Unai, I'm really looking forward to it. I don't expect...

    NFTs

    Apologies if there's a similar thread about cryptocurrency etc. but I need info I paint and have an Instagram page, some guy contacts me today and asks if he can buy my artwork as NFTs. His profile looks legit enough but I'll still be wary. Anyway I have no idea how this works. I have a very...

    Physical music and Technology

    This could be moved to the technology or music thread, but thought I'd make a thread anyway. As most are aware vinyls have come back in fashion over recent years, and now the same is happening with cassettes, and the underground trading scene which was big back in the day in metal and punk etc...

    Pronouns

    I was asked recently why I don't use my pronouns, when introducing myself or signing off a letter or email. My reply was basically people are free to use pronouns all they want, but it's something I don't do and never have. This conversation was related to being compassionate towards other...

    Name Your World XI

    Here's a fun game I've played with my mates on Whatsapp Name your World XI players, but no two players can have: The same nationality Played for the same club And they have to have played in your lifetime. It's quite tricky. I think I got a decent team out of it but will post it after a few...

    The Video Games Thread

    There's been a few mentions of games here and there, so thought I'd start a thread for anything game related, i.e what you're playing, all time favourites etc. I'm currently playing Dark Souls, I started it a few years ago and even though I loved the world and the gameplay, I found it too...

    The Best Batman?

    With the terrible news that Robert Pattison is in talks to be the next Batman, I was curious to know who your favourite Batman is (if anyone actually gives a bat's arse, boom) For me it has to be Michael Keaton. As much as I love the Christopher Nolan films, I still prefer the Tim Burton films...

    Gillette - The Worst a Man Can Get

    The latest vomit-inducing social justice bandwagon jumping nonsense comes from Gillette who seem determined to alienate a huge percentage of their customers by telling them they are pieces of shit and their sons are monsters in the making. Great marketing! :lol:

    Man who sexually assaults children is "trans-age"

    Uhhhh, yeah. But no. "A Chicago man accused of sexually abusing three young girls allegedly told police he committed the crimes because he is a boy in a man’s body." https://www.theblaze.com/news/2018/01/26/chicago-man-accused-of-sexually-assaulting-children-claims-he-is-trans-age This...

    Music - Home recording

    Does anyone here dabble in writing and recording music at home via computer software? I've been working on my set-up for quite a while, mostly for recording guitar and bass, and using a great drum sampler. A friend of mine has almost perfected it to the point where his stuff sounds like it has...

    Renaming Villa Park?

    Saw something earlier about renaming Villa Park to generate a bit of much needed dosh. I was always against the idea, but in desperate times if it helped I would go along with it. It will always be Villa Park and these things are usually temporary anyway.

    Laurel or Yanny?

    This has been spreading like wildfire, I was ignoring it until I got duped in to listening, and found it fascinating that it's split people almost 50/50. The recording plays a word and people either hear "Yanny" or "Laurel". All I could hear was Yanny. This video explains how it works, and...

    Pro Life vs Pro Choice

    Just to continue on a bit from the politics thread, I'll start a new one about this topic as there is an upcoming referendum on abortion here in Ireland. I came across this today which made me sick. Pro-life posters erected near a national school in Dublin, with religious phrases and horrific...

    Net Neutrality

    So the FCC have successfully repealed Net Neutrality, which is not good, not good at all. As if things aren't bad enough, now this shit. If anyone doesn't know what the fuck I'm talking about, this explains it quite well, but it's a lot more severe than is let on here in my opinion...

    App development

    Anyone here have any experience of making apps or using Android Studio? Making an app is a part of my college course. Need to figure out how to do something, so even though it's a long shot I said I'd ask here to see if someone works/worked in that area. I've posted the question on a few app...

    The Science and Technology Thread

    I don't think there's a thread for such things here so I thought I'd start one instead of posting such things in the UFO or Conspiracy threads where it's not really applicable. Anyway, just came across this tonight... "An artificial intelligence system being developed at Facebook has created...

    UK Surveillance Law

    So this just seemed to happen under the radar without any public debate. All in the name of "terrorism" and the like I suppose. Scary times https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/nov/29/snoopers-charter-bill-becomes-law-extending-uk-state-surveillance
