Last night, my facebook feed blew up with people saying there was a crazy fuck armed to the teeth shooting cops in my city. 3 cops are confirmed killed and 2 others wounded. The guy is still at large and everything is closed right now. Luckily we don't live close to where this all happened, but it's still really freaky. http://www.cnn.com/2014/06/05/world/canada-shooting/index.html?hpt=hp_t1 http://www.bbc.com/news/27709330

So it seems like the media are getting into a bit of a frenzy over these ones, will they actually be a threat as much as they reckon? Or is this another millennium bug. Who knows more about this stuff than I do?

So UE4 is pretty amazing and fun to work with. I've been making my own games the last months but I'm in need of quality assets and such to put on the finishing touches. Do we have any talent around watmm that's got any experience working with modeling, material shaders and level editing? Making every aspect of a full blown 3d game takes time so perhaps we could collapse works.

So I was going to start a cute animal pictures thread but saw that the "Cute Pictures Thread" already covers that. So I got to thinking and decided to look up "cute gun" on google images. Probably one of the best ideas I have had recently. Behold, cute guns: Please feel free to post more cute guns/weapons pics and expand this thread, this is a fascinating subject.

anyone see this? i've always thought this era of computer tech was really interesting. sometimes i look at articles or interviews about this period and usually i've always been more interested to read about stuff like lesser known figures or events rather than gates/jobs/etc, and that seems to be the kind of thing this show focuses on. anyway, the first episode to me seemed like it really could've been just about any of the other big time drama type shows that A&E have popularized. the nerdy computer side took a backseat to cut-throat office maneuvers, and it was really just all about establishing the cliched characters- alpha, broody beta, and wizkid. and of cour…

Did the click bait work? Some dudes in Cambridge are working on a new bacterial spray (not antibacterial; bacterial) that could eliminate the need to shower entirely. They hypothesize that an ancient bacteria, nitrosomonas eutropha, was once a part of our human microbiome, and was responsible for cleaning our skin, acting as a deoderant, an anti-inflammatory agent, and an immune booster. Unfortunately, it can be killed very easily. As in, you bathe once, and you probably kill them all. Here's a NYTimes article about it. I heard about it through a coworker, as we drove back from a work site, smelling like wet dogs, and discussing this problem. I'm not sure I'm…

So, recently I have had a sort of revelation concerning the way we live and the way we are expected to operate. It is blatantly obvious that we are living at odds with our environment. Most people recognize this to some extent, but a lot of people don't have solutions that work. I know this, because I struggled for a long time only to be beaten down by what felt like a never ending cycle of failure. Not because I wasn't trying hard enough, or because I wasn't being disciplined. It was because I was misinformed. We are all misinformed to some degree or another. Why? The simple answer is that research is flawed, and we get fed lies due to private interests. (simple answer…

I went to a drum&bass that was really really loud. Like, REALLY loud. Usually my ears ring for a few days after a nice show, but I had never really freaked out about it before. 2 days later, while my ears were still ringing somewhat, I was really baked (part of the reason I freaked out probably) and listening to music really loud while driving and suddenly noticed the intense ringing in my ears. I stopped the car and turned the music down and began to panic. I know hearing loss is permanent... does anybody else here notice a permanent ringing in their ears from loud music? How loud is too loud? How can you tell if the music is in fact way too loud? Is all hearing…

over the past few years i have become agnostic, in my family we say bless you when you sneeze, being that my father is of mexican descent, he would say "Salud" with my mother, i ignore her first sneeze, and wait for the other two, cuz that bitch is an habitual triple sneezer i got uncomfortable with the saying bless you because from what i recall, the urban legend was that when you sneeze, your heart stops and people will say "God Bless you" as a gesture of kindness in hopes that your heart won't stop forever. i recently looked into it, and your heart in fact does not stop at all. saying bless you dates back in the day to 77AD so the optional way of …

http://witchwind.wordpress.com/2013/12/15/piv-is-always-rape-ok/ are these people for real? am i a huge misogynist for even asking that question? i scrolled down to the comments expecting a lot of people disagreeing or atleast discussing the topic. but nope, just more insane people. so basically, every woman who's ever had consensual sex with a man is a rape victim. and all men in this case, rapists. im guessing that applies to their dads as well then? it's 7:30 am and im confused.

So... Who has the opportunity to vote today, and who is doing so? I still cannot decide where my vote is going, so looking for last minute inspiration. I kinda despise a lot of the notions that have come from Britain being part of Europe, especially when it comes down to all of the legislation that is imposed upon manufacturing / industry and laws in general. My company is currently spending thousands of pounds and a hell of a lot of man hours trying to get up to speed with new BS:EN / CE Marking laws that come into effect soon and it will cost the national industry a fortune.... However, I am all down to fair immigration laws and transit of peoples betwe…

Apparently this practise has been going on for decades and most airlines have phased it out but it's still at the pilots discretion in some cases and some countries mandate that planes be sprayed. Most of the time it is done before the passengers board but not all the time. Now for someone that never uses pesticides around the house, (i have a fly killer, will swat), this sort of thing is quite alarming. Sure i understand about the insect threat to national food security, especially in places like australia. But what about people with sensitivities to these chemicals or those that have prolonged exposure to them. Apparently flight attendants have start…
