FireKnife Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 He did indeed, the rules are: Ah yes, the same ones they parade around in the film iRobot. Still they make sense even if a contradiction can happen, like that whole creation of a knowledge loop, a robot knowing that it must be something but can not exist without something to make it everything or something like that 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites
scorch Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 I've just started getting into Neal Asher. Now that is some head bending scifi. Though an AI controlled surveillance drone with a bad attitude and a battle laser is amusing as hell. Link to post Share on other sites
Tinkerton Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 That's reminds me of some of the Iain m banks stuff, mainly his culture novels. Not read any Asher, any good? Also Alistair Reynolds New book, blue remembered earth is very good indeed, and I've recently finished he second book of the 'leviathan wakes' series, by James s a Corey, which was outstanding.

Wild_XIII Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Getting an MP9... My face is hurting from all the grinning I'm doing! The downer is that now I need more mags! Link to post Share on other sites
FTZ-WildeCard Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Is it possible to fit a KX3 sound amplier to an MP9? Ah ha ha.. Link to post Share on other sites
scorch Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Just got offered the pistol I want, with a couple of mags, for cheap. Yes plz! Link to post Share on other sites

scorch Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Desert Eagle with 2 mags. £80 Looks like I will be going to the mall with 4 pistols and a shotgun in december. Link to post Share on other sites
FTZ-WildeCard Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Blimey, that's an amazing price. I'm jealous! I'm taking my shotty down to the mall this weekend, will see if it earns itself a place for the December visit. Link to post Share on other sites
shmook Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 After a truly horrendous month, I moved into my house yesterday with my fiancée! So far, all I've done is smash things up, which is the best part of doing a house up! Link to post Share on other sites
scorch Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Previous owner lost the front sight after removing it to use an optic, but I am currently bidding on some real steel sights from the states on ebay that are looking pretty darn cheap. Everyone loves smashing things. Personally I'd do it one room at a time to extend the smashing over some time. Link to post Share on other sites
shmook Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 That's the plan! Can't afford to do the whole house at once. It's funny, last Friday I buried my dad, a week later I'm up to my *albartroth* in renovation, which he was really wanting to help with. Link to post Share on other sites
amateurstuntman Posted September 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 I'm nearly done with mine. Taken over 2 years so far... Link to post Share on other sites
Jon L Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 Haha its taken me a year to sort out the garage. It now looks like a small warehouse, with dexion racking everywhere. But I can now find all the power tools without having to wade through millions of boxes, newspapers and general household ###### that had accumulated in there. Link to post Share on other sites
Tinkerton Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 Got the go ahead from the wife to book my cbt test. \o/. Still no idea what I'll actually get as a bike, though, saw an 'acm' Honda clone that looks quite alright, seems to get reasonable reviews... It's just a shame that all the 125's are so expensive . Saw a lovely BSA bantam that would've been perfect, but sadly it was 174cc Link to post Share on other sites
scorch Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 Don't touch the Chinese stuff. I'm having no end of issues with mine, and it got rave reviews. I've had to replace hoses that perished because they were routed at stupid angles to save an inch of tube. Bearings that weren't hardened so ended up wearing out after 6 months of use. Bulbs that just blew. And now I have a phantom electrical issue that moves from part to part depending on what I'm examining at the time. Oh, and everything, alloy and steel, is developing a patina of corrosion. And it's less than a year old. My old Yamaha was 18 years old when I bought it, and ran like a train. Looked just as good as a new bike after the respray too. Link to post Share on other sites
Tinkerton Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 Yeah, that seems to be the general consensus. They're so expensive though At this rate I'd have to sell my car to afford one, at which point I might as well just do a das and get a nice bike... Link to post Share on other sites
Gunmane Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 Lost my first file on borderlands, started another one last week. Hurriedly playing through it as Roland before the second game's release. Funny thing, my "source" is sending me a copy of the second one already for $20. Now, who do I choose to play, and will I ever find someone on the ps3 that wants to not go on a speed run through the game? Link to post Share on other sites
scorch Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Just got back from an incredibly positive feeling job interview. Hopefully this won't end up in the "my eye" thread in a few days. Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 While I am the only person in work this week when normally we'd have about 12 guys, the nuclear convoy protection team (police and marines) are running their convoy drills just nearby, so that's pretty cool and unusual to see.

hitmanNo2 Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 What sort of nuclear convoys would be they be guarding? Spent stuff from power stations? I assume our nuclear arsenal pretty much stays in the same places really. Link to post Share on other sites
scorch Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 Just off the phone. Got the job. As of the 24th I will be selling motorcycle insurance. AND, as a bonus, the company said they may be able to get me put through my direct access for free with one of the dealerships they are partnered up with. Link to post Share on other sites
