It’s not a scam in that they’re spending the money they get on the thing they said they would. You could argue that it is potentially fraud, although they caveated well. It’s really just mismanagement, but the mismanagement was hardly unpredictable given Chris Roberts had 20-30 years of track record of being the…

Doesn’t that one already have all that bar the docking rings and tractor beams that don’t really quite work yet but kinda do. And to be fair they added a gunners door and made it a lot bigger didn’t they?

There are loads of games that are scams because they get abandoned or are actual scams. This isn’t really one of them, at best its just a very strange quantitative easing scheme for the game development industry since they’re actually spending the money.

You get the time back though, if you spend the same time out you get a lot more burn. The inaccuracy part also won’t factor in all the other calorie consumption aspect around vigorous exercise, if you are pushing yourself your putting your body under stress, tearing muscles and generally just driving your body into…

Your knees are for sure stronger, but your also putting the miles on them like nothing else. Might want to work in some lower impact work, I usually mix rowing in between my runs or the occasional long session in something physical in VR.

Physical activity is physical activity, and there are a lot of factors that go into it. If someone wants to get the steps in its fine, but if you are stuck at home it really is a pain and a time waste. I took up running over lockdown simply because of its time efficiency and mixed it up with rowing, if you do the…

You kind of have to just push through that part, after never being much of a runner and having a long break from any running at all I found myself returning to it last year and the first 3 months were awful. I was kind of an idiot though as I wanted results, I also thanks to a health condition got really heavy on top…

What little there is of the plot around the time travel makes zero sense, whatever rationale they have behind it better be fantastic to not infuriate every sane person that watches it.

A-list celebrities only engage with the media when they have to because they are famous without the coverage, it’s not something the volunteer for. Politicians, activists and low level celebs are on all the time because its the media that makes you famous.

People like different things, he’s sometimes funny and sometimes not to me. People aren’t even constant I used to think he was hilarious.

I actually totally disagree, I think it’s aged fine as long as you look at it as the period piece it is, it doesn’t work today as a show today, but if you look at it from the lens you do any piece of historical media and film its fine. It also got a lot better as it went on going from essentially a slapstick filled…

As a recovering geologist I endorse this, but would probably do some mid point configuration just to see if people could guess the era. 

To be honest the masks may stick around as long as the disease is still in the population, any amount of it transmitting has a risk of a mutation that sets the whole shooting show back to day 1. It will also really depend on final adoption rates of the vaccine, if you don’t get everyone quick enough it ends up…

Objecting to your frankly racist statements showed my lack of knowledge. I’m a white person that actually has experienced the things you have, certainly not to the level you have, although I have lost out on jobs because of it, been verbally abused and actually been physically assaulted more than once and not by LEOs…

I think you’ll find I did acknowledge it, I said I didn’t grow up with it because I didn’t grow up in a community where it was a thing. I have since lived and worked all over the world, it is a thing in some countries and as I pointed out its not exclusive to white people in the world. All I did was point out I have…

There wasn’t any white privilege where I came from so that’s pure BS, I’ve seen it on other places, but where I’m from I’ve been spat on and abused just being in the neighbouring country. White privilege was something I only learned about as an adult and have thankfully chosen to work in progressive fields and…

Racism is racism regardless of the country of origin, the solution doesn’t change with the culture just the implementation of the one way to fix it, there is a reason why of all the colonial nations the US is the furthest behind in that particular battle and its because the US engages in this tit for tat racism to…

Before or after? Before she got whatever was available, usually big brand stuff like purina or pedigree etc. Afterwards we found a smaller local supplier for high quality dog food, I am loathe to say the word artisanal in connection with dog food, but you know what I mean.

I’m always a little stunned by the mixes in dogs, and for ones with such big size differences the question on if it was a giant dachshund or a very small Labrador.

The linked article was interesting, but goes a long way to use Jolie to make a point about female action stars, and I’m sitting and thinking that while she was okay in Tomb Raider she was never really believable in the role like Vikander is, and she only really came over well in Mr & Mrs Smith. There is a reason that…
