    So Andy Burnham is going to be PM

    Ahem... Okay. But seriously: i haven't congratulated you on calling the change days before the actual news, @emigre. It was a good call, and going by some past surprises (i don't think even May thought she'd become prime minister after brexit) it might hehe been an excellent call. So... What's...

    So Andy Burnham is going to be PM

    ... Says the guy where voter districts are redrawn purely to suppress votes and where non-battlestates effectively aren't part of democracy. I give it 93% chance you're just making it up.

    Steam Machine waiting list goes live, starting at £879 with a 512GB SSD

    1. Yes. It runs steamos, so you can just exit gaming mode to go to the desktop. 2. Not sure, but i think I've read yes. 3. Partially: see above. But sff's are rarely very upgradeable. It's one thing to add ram, another to replace the motherboard or gpu. 4.curious about this as well. I've read...

    Steam Machine waiting list goes live, starting at £879 with a 512GB SSD

    Anyone else having problems clicking the v'I've read the terms and conditions'checkbox? Not going to lie: I'm not sure if I get one at that price. My tv connected steam deck does what I want it to, and I'm not really looking for more power. But on the other hand: that controller is GOOD. If...

    Let's celebrate Barack Obama Appreciation Day

    It's not that i don't appreciate Obama, but what's the point of this thread other than rub in that he's better than the current president?

    The US is now at war with Iran

    It's creepy how the rest of Israeli government can make Netanyahu look sane. But as long as the response from the USA or the rest of the world is silence, don't expect change soon. (ps...Friday my daughter brought home a iron (perler) bead work from home... In the form of a David star. It...

    So Andy Burnham is going to be PM

    Great. British humour (i should've said "whom... Right?) . Lemme just ditch US pleb language here... It's all very well, luv. But i couldn't but notice you've embedded a photograph featuring four people, hitherto ensuring no single person occupies the center spot. Given your wit regarding mr...

    So Andy Burnham is going to be PM

    ... Who? And an observation: could it be that UK prime minister posts are more about popularity than anything else? Compared to other countries, that is.

    The US is now at war with Iran

    Hmm... I really have to point out that that memoratum of understanding is just that: the promise to look into signing a deal within 60 days. You can call it a deal if you want to, but it's not binding for anything but preparations into signing. And the way this is being attacked... I don't say...

    The US is now at war with Iran

    True. But i credit the us nonetheless for putting something on the table that the other side can live with. That's not something you see often in a war. That om sceptic doesn't mean i disaproove.

    The US is now at war with Iran

    Have to agree with you there. This is something that could eventually lead to a deal, with emphasis on could. ... Unless Israel already attacked, in which case it's 'could've been'. It's not immediately denied, which counts for more than it should. 1781716518 Aside the 'deal' part, it sounds...

    The US is now at war with Iran

    It's hard not to sound cynical, but i only started paying attention when I heard that Iran backed this deal. But that didn't last long: it's not a deal but a framework to see where both sides stand after sixty days. Or after two, as the us isn't guaranteeing anything but Trump talking about...

    Poll: is Trump suffering from dementia?

    Devils advocate: how is it stupid if there aren't any consequences? Obama can't sue for defamation because no reasonable man believes this, but at the same time it serves as a daily distraction from the many real scandals.

    Physical Steam gift cards discontinued

    Okay... I'm late to this party, but here's my take: good! Here's a second hand story, but I've got it from good sources. Dreamland is a Benelux toy store chain who went through a merger and ended up with electronic cards as part of their toys in the end. And with bare knowledge on any of these...

    Good Printer without subscription

    Easy answer: businesses. Sorry, but multi-building companies without printer subscriptions are ones where you don't want to work. Why? Because people who manage their own personal life just fine turn off their brains when they get in an office with an IT department. Replacing a toner might still...
