I also can't make up my mind.

They made a big thing in that video about how you choose to play the game. But the footage makes it look like every story line is on rails. You defeat this guy with his own weights machine. This guy with the vending machine. I feel like everything is placed so you do the thing. Like there is a lot less choice than you think all the time.

Still Kerbal Space Program 2 is nailed on for me so that's likely my next large waste of time.

In the 7 years I have been on this site, I have never received a single e-mail from the forum.

That is because you have disabled e-mail notifications in your settings.

Yes. I did that deliberately.

I've already noticed one broken thing: Outbound e-mail is blocked by the new hosting provider. I've raised a ticket for this, but in the meantime you won't be able to receive e-mails from the forum.

'Four corners of the Earth' I thought was a term that is used more as a figure of speech rather than something which is intended to be taken literally as a description of the Earths physical form.

If we are going to play that game, it was merely a figure of speech when Magellan said he was going to circumnavigate the globe. He actually meant he was going to the Philippines to get up close and personal with the native boys.

I think it is for the people who may be casually following the game's (lack of) progress. Not everyone is blessed to follow the scam daily like we do in IRC.

This. I haven't sunk a small fortune into this because I'm not an idiot, so I'm just a casual observer.

I think this is what happens when you give a game designer unlimited resources and zero pressure from management to actually finish.

I think this is what happens when a game makes more money whilst it is in development, than it ever could when it is released.

Recently, Forbes had the following to say about star citizen

And Roberts has enticed gamers with a steady stream of hype, including promising a vast, playable universe with “100 star systems.” But most of the money is gone, and the game is still far from finished. At the end of 2017, for example, Roberts was down to just $14 million in the bank. He has since raised more money. Those 100 star systems? He has not completed a single one. So far he has two mostly finished planets, nine moons and an asteroid.

Ho Lee Fuk.

At one point, Roberts set the release date for Squadron 42 in the fall of 2015, with a full commercial version of Star Citizen coming in 2016. Roberts now says a beta version of Squadron 42 will come out in 2020 and has stopped trying to guess when Star Citizen will happen.

How about you set a storage time depending on the forum it is posted in?

So post something in AR or CN and 28 days later it expires and is removed.
Maybe the Lounge gets 28 days as well.

The other discussion boards get 6 months because those conversations are more important. Anything older and you are in necro land anyway.

And the FE boards get kept forever as it is an archive of flat earth stuff that can be used for reference at any point in the future.

Just make those the T&Cs. I think most people would accept we don't need to keep AR stuff forever, its just a convenience of a service. And if you want to make a lasting post down there, well use a third party as we don't think as a site that AR images need to be maintained forever at a storage cost.

I realise we have such a thing, but it gives a very unsatisfying thumbnail at the bottom of the page.

For years I used tinypic. That's about to die. I recently started using postimages.org.
They happen to have an integration for SMF. My suggestion is that we integrate this into the site to make it more convenient for everyone to add images.

Now, either I am part of the conspiracy, or the manufacturers of the altimeters and the air traffic controllers are, or the theory is hokum.

Or you are telling lies. There is always that option. You'd hardly be the first 'astronaut', 'fighter pilot', 'Antarctic explorer' or 'deity' to visit this site. But for every fighter pilot we have about 500 liars. I'm not inclined to believe your fantastical claims, purely on a statistical basis you understand.

Did you actualky get that or are you thorking with us?

I'm guessing thorking as the text says a file is called thork.mp4 which I'm half sure you don't use as your pc name or account name.  But I could be wrong.

I actually got that ... but I'm also the same tin-foil hat wearing weirdo that tapes up his webcam sooooooo ......................

Its just a spam blackmail e-mail. I'm sure if you send out 10,000 of these, some stupid sap will send you back $2000 USD.

The mp4 file did say my first name which it likely scrapped from the e-mail headers so if my name was Frederick the file was labelled Frederick.mp4. I swapped out my name for use on this forum.

For the utterly stupid on this site who might fall for such a thing

1) You have an mp4 of me and you haven't uploaded a copy to a server with a link for me to see and worry about?
2) You put a pixel on my e-mail and that somehow tracks me? If you'd given me a link to my handshandy.mp4 video you'd know if I watched it.
3) £2000 is worth more and I work in £ not $. Surely if you actually know who I am, you ask for £2000.
4) Somehow he thinks that a video of a 41 year old man tugging himself off is worth $2000. If you can get $2000 for it anywhere else, go sell it. But I don't think its worth it.

Also, why would I care if someone who "hacked my webcam" sent a video of me smashing one out to people I know? If I got a video sent to me by a stranger, of a mate bashing his bishop ... I wouldn't open it. I wouldn't trust the source, I don't want to see my friend doing that, I don't want to be involved. I'm not sure who I'm supposed to feel 'shame' from? Everyone on earth rubs their magic lamp occasionally unless they have a medical problem. So what would someone say to me ... "Erm, Thork. So I got this video of you tugging your piggy last night and I've got to say you have a super awkward cum face" ... to which I'd reply ... "You watched it to the end?". I mean how is choking your chicken a 'shameful' thing?

I am going to guess the author lives in some 3rd world shithole from the broken English and lack of cultural empathy. To him, with his special brand of God and religious hang ups, sure, maybe unloading your meat pistol might be a thing of shame ... but to a middle-aged white guy living in the west ... literally no one would give a shit if there was a video of me on the internet burping my worm and I'm not sure anyone would want to watch it.

Its too late ... 

Do I have your attention?
You are really screwed now and you better read this... !

Your device was recently infected with a software I developed, and now you have a problem you need to solve, because it has gone too far..

You probably noticed your device is acting strangely lately.
That's because you downloaded a nasty software I created while you were browsing the pornographic website...

The software automatically:
1) Started your Camera and begun recording you,
    uploading the footage to my server...
2) Recording your device screen
3) Copied all your contact lists from mail program, facebook
    and your device chain
4) Started logging what you write

The problem is that it has cought you while you have been masturbating.. and I didn't plan to see that.. but I did.

I now have the Thork.mp4 file with you masturbating to this hardcore stuff... ugly!! ( 🤮


Let me get straight to the point.

If you do not do what I ask you now, I will upload this ugly video file with you ... and the stuff you were watching to several video upload sites and I will send the links to all your friends, family members and associates.

I am sure they will not like what they will see and I am also sure you don't want me to do that, right ?


So do you want me to uninstall the nasty software from your device and stop recording you?
Do you want me to forget about this whole issue??

I think 2,000 USD is a fair price for my silence. I know you can handle to send me this money - and it is enough for me to get lost. So how do you send the cash?? Bitcoin.

I checked right now and 1 Bitcoin is worth 10,428 bucks.
So...


***********************************************
Send exactly 0.192138 BTC to my Bitcoin wallet.

This is my Bitcoin wallet address:
335dMRbmRj3Mb1qyTpet88P4PwYWoXNxzY

***********************************************

If you do not know how to send cash using bitcoin, type 'how to buy bitcoin' in google. There's plenty of guides.

Ok.. so what if you decide not to pay ?
Well if you want to test my patience - go on.
I will ruin your social life, you can count on that.

You think that visiting Police is a good idea ? Nope.
I don't live in your country and I know how to stay Anonymous. I will send the compromising video to everyone you know!

Just send me the 2,000 USD and we forget about the whole thing. I have family to feed too.

***********************************************
Send 2,000 USD worth of bitcoin to this address:

0.192138 BTC
to this address:

335dMRbmRj3Mb1qyTpet88P4PwYWoXNxzY

(copy and paste it - it's cAsE sensitive)
***********************************************

After you send the money to my wallet (exact
amount!) - I will see it and I will remove the video and deactivate the rec software.

I give you 5 days only to send the transfer..

The time starts ticking after you open this letter (I included a pixel in this message and I will know when you read it).


Don't try to contact me - I am using an untraceable email to deliver this message to you.

I am waiting for your cash. I KNOW you can afford it.
Don't forget the shame if you ignore me.

Am also considering a xiaomi mi box s. Is about $40 and will do the video playback I want + allow browsing + is Android not windows. Downside is it is google and they like watching what I'm watching and I don't want to be watched, watching what I intend to watch.



Maybe a streaming TV thing is a better route.

Have you considered just creating a second user account on your existing computer?

No.

To be honest it will also allow me to divide work from messing about a bit better having two machines. I can have say youtube running a movie on one whilst working on the other. No, I cant run dual monitors, I have a stupid AIO that stops me doing that. 

Its too easy for me to start mucking about on facebook or youtube or whatever. If I only do that on this recreational machine ... basically I'm having a hard time separating work and play as of late. I figure a different machine with a different OS will help me nurture better habits. Oh, windows ... behaving, working, productive healthy individual. Ooooh, Ubuntu, trolling, videos, music, facebook.

Technology & Information / Need a pron machine

« on: July 15, 2019, 07:46:04 PM »

So I want a clean machine (won't stay clean for long) that is basically a computer where I can explore the deepest recesses of my mind. And I want to keep it separate from my work computer, work accounts, work e-mails etc. It is too easy for me to be logged into a client's google account and only realise when I'm halfway through wishing cancer on someone in youtube comments that I'm doing it via their account!  . I need a clean break. I also want this new machine to be ... well kind of a burner. So I can post horrific threads on this forum, or watch midget pron or stalk someone on facebook or harass celebs on Twitter ... basically a machine where I can be a public menace. I also want it separate from a personal work machine that I trust to make online financial transactions and visits to my online bank account.

So now that I know what I want it for, what do I want it to do?

• Browse the internet.
• Playback video. Mostly naked ladies at 1080p.
• Kinda like the idea of it not being windows because I don't want it picking up viruses in the mucky places I intend to go.

So now to my list of candidates.

A very old windows PC (intel x64) that is from the middle ages and I re-purpose with Chrome OS or something on it. But like not having windows for this. Not sure I want google looking over my shoulder though.
A Raspberry Pi running Raspian.
An Intel Compute Stick.
A Jetson Nano.


The Pi 4 seemed like a good way forward and I was pretty settled on that, but it drops a hell of a lot of frames (read more than 50% at 1080p) during video playback on youtube (and likely pronhub) and I want the ladies to be jumping around because they are negotiating enormous choppers, not because I'm GPU bound and my Arm processor is hotter than the sun.

The Compute stick will likely give me similar issues as will an atom based NUC.

I'm kind of leaning towards the Jetson Nano. It has 128 cuda cores to help keep video playback silky smooth.

There must be other reprobates on this website. Do you have a machine for being a colossal pervert or public nuisance, and if so, what do you use and why?

However, I am hopeless at Excel too, had the wrong formula. Fixed:

No, it isn't fixed.

Take the very top result. 100 reduced to 35. That is very easy ... it is a 65% drop. Somehow you got 53% drop. But 35 is not 47% of 100. It is 35%. Obviously.

Your formula should have started =100-($B1*(100/$A1)) and if you had dragged that down the flux capacitor would have begun to whir and that's what makes time travel possible. Well that and 1.21 Gigawatts (pronounced jiggawats). Of course the only way to get that kind of power is from a bolt of lightning. Unfortunately you never know when or where its going to strike.

Our post count gets hit harder in the summer than the other site ... because we have lives and go outside.

Taking New Posts numbers from June of 2018 and comparing them to June of 2019, I found a 15% drop-off at TheFlatEarthSociey.com. However, at TFES.org, I found a whopping 142% drop-off. Probably means nothing as I simply picked 'New Posts' as a metric and maybe it's the wrong one.

It probably means you are hopeless at maths.

Let's put the numbers aside for a second and just apply a little logic. How can you possibly have a 142% drop in posts? 100% drop would be from however many you had to zero. This is like a sportsman saying during interviews that they gave 110%. You can't give more than 100% effort, nor can you have more than a 100% drop in the number of something. That's what percentage means ... out of 100. You can't say out of 100 the number I pick is 142.
