    Actors join Writers on strike

    Wherever the blame lays, this is devasting for tens (hundreds?) of thousands of families around the world as people lose their jobs. While the Unions rah rah themselves for going on strike and fighting the big man they are get financially supported for doing so. There are hundreds of thousands...

    Train burglaries in the US, do we have anything at this scale in the UK?

    Train burglaries in the US, do we have anything at this scale in the UK?

    I am always happy to be friends :p We are probably more similar than different. I am disillusioned with both the governments I see in both the US and UK and all of the available political parties. Having the choice of a lesser evil is no choice at all. But here we are!

    Train burglaries in the US, do we have anything at this scale in the UK?

    So you stopped reading when I point out that you are using inflammatory language to gain attention and think I am offended by your use of the word? I am simply pointing out how you do yourself no favours. It is also interesting how you make assumptions about someone's wealth based on what data...

    Train burglaries in the US, do we have anything at this scale in the UK?

    I am not trying to hide anything, I think my post was quite clear. I'll go ahead and indulge you. First off, using "lefties" in a pejorative fashion demonstrates your viewpoints quite clearly. You think having empathy for others makes those people weak or lesser than you. Echos of "they should...

    Train burglaries in the US, do we have anything at this scale in the UK?

    I see you are going with "I have a black friend" defense, that doesn't change how you are representing your personal points of view. I am not naming calling, I am simply assessing based on how you present yourself. You also have demonstrated that you neither understand the intricacies and...

    Train burglaries in the US, do we have anything at this scale in the UK?

    This is a disturbing thread of people waving their favourite propaganda piece and judging things they may know about at best, third hand. What started as an interesting piece about a problem in Los Angeles (which I can see out of my window) has shown some truly disturbing open opinions from...

    Robert Jordan’s fantasy epic The Wheel of Time coming to TV

    Yep! Absolutely. I am a huge fan of the books and I am loving the show. It's like getting the see the story again with a few twists and changes, another turning of the wheel perhaps from the books we read?

    Robert Jordan’s fantasy epic The Wheel of Time coming to TV

    The post-production (VFX & grading) of this show was all done during covid. I can tell you from first-hand experience, far more is impacted than just the shoots. The VFX work for WoT has been done by all the b-grade VFX studios. The entire VFX industry is suffering at the moment, there is too...

    At this point the only logical explanation is that this is some form of money laundering scheme.

    Weird Phone Scam?

    He isn't giving bad advice, he is giving the only options really available. The number the OP has is clearly being spoofed, if he changes numbers the chances are the next number (despite obviously being recycled) isn't being spoofed.

    The UK isn't what it's made out to be

    Agreed, I moved 7-8 years ago when the opportunity came my way. Since then my earnings have increased substantially. Southern California has some of the best confluence of what most people (who are looking to leave), are wanting. You have the year-round weather, you have a bigger economy than...

    Robert Jordan’s fantasy epic The Wheel of Time coming to TV

    I am a hardcore fan of the books, my signature on this forum has been there for about a decade. I am enjoying the TV show for what it is, an interpretation of the source material and I fully expect changes. Some things just don't translate well from writing to screen. Here is an AMA from the...

    Invasion (Apple TV)

    This show had a $200m budget. It's just crap. I personally am REALLY enjoying Foundation though. Absolutely fantastic.

    Hexus and Bit-tech shutting down

    New generations hit up Youtube for everything. My kids don't like to "read" websites, it has to be in catchy videos of 3mins or less. Many moons ago I contributed reviews to Hexus and Mr. Ross. Reviewing watercooling and some Geforce 4's among other things.
