@tiffany Now you are putting words in my mouth.
-
@tiffany I do not have any real figures, but it was about 4.000.000.000 Euro according to sources I heard. Which kinda makes sense as the Scottish Independance referendum did cost 2.000.000.000 Pounds more than estimated.
And yes "the country has spoken". You would be stupid to just ignore the results of something that did cost so much money. The least you can learn involves something about how people are coerced into voting for something only to regret it the next day, leading into talks of a new referendum.
Ergo, The first referendum was valuable, but possibly did not have the value that people who wanted it were looking for. -
@tiffany Does it ? Even with a possible outlook that the remainder of Great Brittain will lose tons of raw materials & oil, the workforce associated with that ( losing valuable work expertise for instance ), general stability. Oh and you would need to build new nuclear missile deposits.
-
@mrmattimation Not where it was, but more how yellow it was.
-
@tiffany I see where you are coming from. But I was not talking about a "you made your bed, now lie in it" scenario. I know all too well how the common man can be forked over completely by people with political power. No, what I meant was is that I think the referendum results were too close to really say anything. Also there is the thing about the age-gap to vote ratio.
Anyway, the country has spoken, and now it is up to the politicians to do something with it. Just flatout throwing money at the problem in the form of a new referendum might not be the smartest thing to do. At any rate, I hope it will work out well. -
@tiffany If I am allowed to oversimplify it, I really doubt that losing Scotland will do wonders for either the currency ( value ) or the morale of the country.
-
@tiffany Right, point was though, if Scotland really does decide to leave then Great Brittain will really be hurting. And I do not know enough about Brittish politics to know if they are either smart enough to see that coming, or are willing to swallow their pride at all.
-
@tiffany ~Qualm : an uneasy feeling of doubt, worry, or fear, especially about one's own conduct; a misgiving.
I agree to that, but do you really need a new referendum for that ? To hold a referendum on that scale requires a rather huge pile of resources.
Also I heard something about Scotland ( http://pny.lv/0ln66 ... pretty much the sea of yellow there ) thinking about leaving Great Brittain because they all seem to like Europe.
So now it is up to the politicians to decide what is best. Leave the EU and possibly lose Scotland, or just declare the referendum to be too close to count. Both options have possible long term effects, both options have pretty sides aswell as ugly sides. -
@ceruleanspark What's the point of that ? Now I do not know if everyone was forced to cast a vote. But I dare to bet various parts of my body that the result of the first referendum would be a lot different if it was a more sunny day and there was an ice-cream truck outside of every building where you could vote.

"If we nominate Donald Trump and put him on a glide-path to the nomination, Republicans will be be committing an abortion on their own party, and it will be the end of the Republican party as we know it" ( - Some guy on CNN ) ... Oh, recent history can be so very entertaining.

@nerthos I personally do not ever see why something should be beyond joking about it. Unless if it turns out to not be funny, then you have the option to apologize or be slapped in the face... But that is just what I believe.

"Should I buy a MSI GTX 1080, or an EVGA GTX 1080 ? ( and hands me 2 examples )" ... How should I know, I know that in my past experience that EVGA are way nicer guys when you have to deal with anything customer support related. And that their designs are less fancy looking while MSI is all up in that GRB LEDS EVERYWHERE grill... I mean, they both have the exact same clockspeeds everywhere. Am I forgetting anything ?

@nerthos I think my favorite game of all time is Supreme Commander Forged Alliance. But it is really hard to declare something a winner when the pool of things to choose from is so darn large.
Also, it should be bigger, just saying. -
@dolus Yeah, Megaman Legends has been on my backlog for like 20 years now. I will get to it, eventually. There is a LOT on my backlog.
-
@dolus Oh wait, Mighty No.9 was released ? That explains the sudden explosion of chatter across all channels about this turd thing. I probably need glasses for in hindsight it all seems so "Durrrr"
-
@adiwan Select smartphones from phones where screendiagonal is larger than 3,27 and smaller than 4,5, sort by positive reviews ... Well, the top result is a Blackberry. Otherwise I guess the only really good thing out there is the Samsung Galaxy Mini line and some Iphone thingies I flatout refuse to talk about
-
@adiwan Ohh, so pretty much those really big near obnoxious to use phones. ... Wait, does that mean my Samsung Galaxy S4 is a phablet ? I keep hearing that my phone is really large. Partially thanks to the Seido Obex waterproof case though.
-
Soo, what is a phablet ? I always thought it was a phat tablet...
-
@ceruleanspark Possible movie idea, the generations that came after the Baby Boomers learn of this and retaliate by blowing up the economy.

Anti-falten creme ? ... So it's a creme against wrinkles ? ... Well seen as Nutella is almost 20% palm oil and 5% low fat cocoa, I am actually giving it about equal chances of actually working as the actual but inedible stuff. http://rainbowdash.net/attachment/847677

@adiwan Digging through this enormous load of fanart, I came across this [img] ... Yeah, calling it, almost impossible that this would be worse. http://rainbowdash.net/attachment/847656

@exquisiteflame I really really wish it was, I have dug through a truckload of derpiboo already
-
@adiwan I'd like to nominate this thing for the worst thing ever being linked on RDN
-
I used to have a rainbow dash picture where she was smiling menancy in the corner with shark like teeth. I lost it, does anyone know which one I'm talking about ? That would help me out a lot.
-
@adiwan Yeah, it is always a bad idea to open up and mess with things you can return to the store. Especially if the draw of your Arduino is so very low that you can probably get somewhere around 700 hours on a 2600 mAh powerbank of 3 Euro. ( not calculating power-loss, and assuming the "F it I will go to sleep" is around 4 mA powerload or under )
-
@adiwan I guess you could always take a dremel to it and attach your arduino directly to the battery leads. If the Arduino power requirements are such low amps then you can just leave the rest of the internals as they are, heck you can probably even charge it while it is operating. The only problem is, how do you make this look both nice and safe ? My guess, negative to wire that you'll just dangle outside of the case through a hole, and positive to a rocker switch that you'll just dange outside of the case through a hole.
-
@hfaust Yeah, ehmm, that does not really help me I am afraid... But I guess that a lot of comments are really pro-movie ( but have still to see it ) leading up to the 100% tomato, and the ratings ( 6.5 ) are from people who actually saw it ?
-
@thelastgherkin Ironically I just watched https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbea3Cj3mcw ( as webm on a undisclosed friend's website, but the content is the same ) ... Yeah, Rita seems to sound prettier in that than what I remember.
-
@hfaust 100% tomato, and an average rating of 6.5. I do not get it
