Just watched an old Sega Megadrive advert from 1990. Note that at the end of they video they champion and celebrate BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY with the Sega Master System
They CELEBRATE it as opposed to today where the industry considers the idea of backwards compatibility ridiculous
How primitive we have become now

Kiwi jihadist mistakenly broadcasts his location

A Kiwi jihadist who claims to be fighting in Syria with the Islamic State has been mistakenly broadcasting his exact location after forgetting to turn off a tracking function on his phone.

Mohammad Daniel, also known as Abu Abdul Rahman, and formerly known as Mark John Taylor, has now deleted 45 posts from Twitter after discovering that he had been revealing his location to intelligence agencies and enemies keeping tabs on him.

My solution:

Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System
Unit cost: ~ $28,500
APKWS is a “plug and play,” “point and shoot” weapon, and is fired like the unguided 2.75-inch rocket. The weapon is easily assembled and can be shot with minimal instruction, as if it were an unguided rocket

We could sign it "To ISIS: From New Zealand"
Kickstarter that shit

It annoys me as well when someone says 'touch wood', and then knocks on the closest bit of wood they find.



WHY ARE YOU TOUCHING THE WOOD?! What purpose does this achieve? Are you verifying the structural integrity of the table?

My Auntie does this.

Then when she realises she just hit a metal table / plastic / a cat and says

"Oh that's not wood but you get what I mean"

Could of avoided the whole knock in the first place :|

[Apostrophe Spacemonkey]

Your auntie touched my wood.

It's not actually wood but you get what I mean.

[Craigor]

I do that..
Oh, what are we talking about?

i fucking hate this shit

Well, I think this will be the last time I ever decide to flat.

After my mid year trip with the mrs (providing it goes well) we'll end up moving in together.

Food going missing purely because they're [flatmates] too assuming - "oh, this must be xxxx's food, they'll be fine with me eating it" thinking it's food that belongs to another flatmate.

I want to invest in another italian steak grill and some knives, but after seeing how many frypans they go through purely because they go from stove top to water without cooling down, I don't want to buy anything decent in fear of it being ruined.

[Codex]

Yeah the places i've lived I just write my name on everything of mine for food etc and never had an issue o__o

i lost my best stainless $300 dollar frypan to flatmates...  and also my George foreman grill big one with lids they don't make anymore as they fucked the non stick with metal.

[Retardobot]

It's funny watching them fuck their own good kitchen items.

After they had a party, I woke up to make some breakfast. Their only good frypan has been destroyed by some clown with a fish slice. It looks like a chalkboard now.

Sometimes I wonder if I should get a flatmate, then I read things like this, lol

For me, the cheaper living would not be a big enough draw card for living with someone else.

I love living on my own.

When you're young it's all about parties.

People that try to cut power to my caravan.

And end up dead.

A Hamilton man has died at a Northland campground after being electrocuted when he tried to cut the power of a noisy caravan.


It appeared he had attempted to cut the power cord to the caravan with pliers.

When Englishmen go "Do you like beer, or lager?"



Then they get extremely perplexed when I say something like "Stout".
But ffs, ALE IS A TYPE OF BEER YOU GOOBERS

It'd be like going "Do you like red wine, or pinot noir?"

Grinds my gears man.

[Tiwaking!]

This is something that shouldnt exist ever. I thought Flappy Bird, Dots, and anal bleaching were the stupidest things you could come up with that people would pay money for, but it appears we have barely begun to scrape the barrel of unfathomably low quality

It turns out that some steam sales and daily deals can be marked as "Not available in your region"

The fact Canada has a Official Lending rate of 1%

Huh?

The rate NZ is 3.5%

And I thought having a low one was bad as it increases inflation.
