  1. Also the oil price is dropping nicely so I am expecting to see pretrol\gas price drop as quickly as the price increased Its still early but we not seeing that in SA yet
  2. Yes I will happily take a bet with you over the significance of the $ but you wont honor it when you lose ....remember you still havent eaten your hat
  3. I accidently turned off my wifi access on my phone today and some of my family were trying to find out how I was feeling after my jab. But they were all using WhatsApp and none of them thought to phone me so people thought I was dead because of a bad reaction to the vaccine Its funny how we become so use to SM as a type of communication and sometimes literally forget to just phone ....the " old fashioned way "
  4. But no one is going to ignore the $ in any meaningful way as had been explained and demonstrated historically since the end of WW2 so no need to be worried
  5. I have been following this, she is very brave. She has 2 kids and she has been arrested and faces 3-15 years imprisonment Another great example of the free and proud society that exists in Russia under Putin
  6. Personally I dont consider you a Russian apologist like Zora and 2133 and I know you mean well But can I ask you something? Ukraine is a sovereign country and in 2019 they had a election and Zelensky won the second round by 72% which is considered an overwhelming victory in any Democracy. Zelensky ran on a pro-EU\pro-NATO ticket and the majority of Ukrainians still voted for him because this is the future they want Do you not believe that Ukraine aligning with the West is what the majority of Ukrainians want? How is the West playing Ukraine when the citizens of Ukraine want to join the EU? And now in Finland the majority of citizens want to join NATO, what would you say if Finland joins NATO, should the people of Finland not be allowed to join because of Putins warmongering and paranoia
  7. I dont know, if my culture allowed me to protest in this way I would definitely squat and occupy an Oligarchs mansion...it sounds great fun
  8. https://news.yahoo.com/wikileaks-assange-denied-permission-appeal-170235575.html?fr=sycsrp_catchall Assange has been denied his appeal in the UK SC around the extradition to the US Maybe we can finally get closure on this, once he is in the US he can face the 18 charges or so he is accused of and then if he is innocent he will walk free The US is not some banana republic or Russia and people facing criminal charges are not automictically guilty and their is a court process which we should all respect
  9. Debt means nothing when you a wealthy Western country, they just print more money and make impoverished, third world countries ultimately pay this debt by forcing these countries to take loans from the IMF and World Bank with exorbitant interest rates Gorthfuscious you must stop having such an idealistic and naïve view of the Capitalist system. It doesnt care about the poor and downtrodden and we must fight against it in everyway
  10. I have decided to give Vampire : Coteries of NY another chance after watching that Swansong marketing video Now that I know its a narrative RPG, when I first played it I was expecting a normal RPG, I am enjoying it so far so I will see how things progress
  11. https://www.aol.com/12-oil-stocks-goldman-sachs-165838372.html Great news again around the oil price, its just higher than $100 and this better price is primarily because large oil companies like Exxon have agreed to make up any oil shortfall caused by Putins War
  12. Have you never played any PB games before? Thats standard design for their games generally
  13. Can you provide links so I can confirm what you saying because they taught me at school that they the same thing?
  14. To me thats the same thing
  15. That review really makes Swansong look fun
  16. QFT, their are several games that I cant imagine using m&kb with that includes games like Far Cry and Assassins Creed....oh and imagine Sleeping Dogs without a controller I have to say I love using my controller effectively during frenetic combat in games designed for it
  17. I completed The Forest after about 105 hours last night and it easily scores a 70/100 on the globally respected " BruceVC game rating system " In the interests of full disclosure I did " cheat " and use console commands at the end but only right at the end. Once I used the hang glider to fly into the sinkhole I found that their were not any trees to get branches from so I couldn't save my game strategically in the final cave system accessed through the pool in the sinkhole ( you can only save your game when you can make a shelter, or find a shelter, and you need branches to make that shelter ) So I used the console to spawn branches and some food in the final mission But its a great survival game and I definitely recommend it
  18. I just got my Pfizer booster today, it will probably be my last booster while we see the variants being less deadly and the general pandemic being less an impact to our lives ?
  19. Yes, yes my friend We have heard it all before. The Western sanctions against Russia are going cause the collapse of Western economies And most of us dont believe that so we fine with the sanctions and the consequence of them
  20. I was about to say " Gothfuscious !!!! Enough with this Putin propaganda " but then I watched the video and its really interesting and explains the reasons for some of the issues with the Russian military strategy in Ukraine
  21. Last time I checked it was normal for journalists to be in numerous conflict areas I am not sure what you mean by " what did they expect " ? Remember this is not Russia or China where they kill journalists
  22. But surely before we can call something WW3 it has to mean the worlds superpowers are at war. The Cold War wasnt WW3 but it could have led to that but Mutually Assured Destruction prevented that So if the Cold War wasnt WW3 than I dont think its accurate to say this current tension with Russia WW3 Yes Russia has created huge tensions by this invasion of Ukraine but we not at world war level until countries declare war on each other ?
  23. Its rainy weather in Cpt today and Im making one of my bolognaise mince recipes that always has lots of delicious mince left over to freeze and eat later This recipe is bacon bits, onions, celery, carrot and mushrooms are fired together for 10 minutes or so then I add the beef and ostrich mince and brown it for about 7-8 minutes then I add the 2-3 tins of tomato puree or tomato and onion mix and 750ml of a robust red wine and let it cook together on low heat so that it simmers for about 2 hours. Then the last 20 minutes add cream or milk
  24. Nah, I think the world, and specifically the West and the EU, should survive the banning\blocking of RT. Its going to be hard but I think we should be alright. Lets be positive
