Self defense is in the moment and based on the situation. Capital punishment is always after the fact, sometimes decades after, and carried out in cold blood. The two are in no way comparable.

Yes, in a postion of much improved freedom and equality. I'll take that over your nightmare vision any day. Also, get help. Seriously.

All of my nope. The death penalty serves no purpose beyond an antiquated view of revenge. It is no deterrant and never has been. Also, justice is based on the opinion of people and people are quite often wrong. I know enough about the justice system to know that **** ups are many and varied.

It depends on how big your house is to begin with. Are you planning on sharing the whole place or would you expect them to have a TV in their room and keep to themselves as much as possible? I was lucky in that my house is big enough for them to do either, so some days I'd see them and other...

The last thing I'm interested in is what the pros do, I want to enjoy my gaming.

https://www.gov.uk/rent-room-in-your-home/the-rent-a-room-scheme Works out at £7500 p/a before the taxman is interested. As long as the tenant is clean, tidy and honest you shouldn't have any trouble. I used to rent out my spare room and it all went swimmingly.

Save your money and stick with what you have. There's a newer version of the x34 due next year from what I've heard (x34P) but to be honest I would wait for the revision of that later in the year instead of buying it on release. It may even work out cheaper to just get another 1080 next year...

Mine does :)

That's not what I said and it wasn't what I was implying either. I was talking about confidence, not being a dick.

As I said upthread, I doubt anyone would be prosecuted for that but a crack around the head is very different to smashing his skull in after he's gone down. Still, it doesn't hurt to paint a picture of a frightened person reaching for the nearest object in panic. That object just happened to...

Which is why you practice, then the unscripted won't be as much of an issue. However, the more you practice and the fitter you become, the more confident you are and then the chance of being attacked becomes vanishingly small anyway. Win win situation.

I heard that there's frame rate issues with Deus Ex, people with insanely good hardware are struggling to break 60fps. Similar issue with Mafia 3 I understand, god awful coding means a really poor PC port. But I have the x34a with a 1080 and I can tell you it's bloody lovely.

I ended up getting the x34A. If panels are a lottery then I'm a jackpot winner as there's only tiny BLB that's unnoticeable apart from test conditions and no dead pixels. The OSD that people complained about isn't as big a pain as I thought it would be and out of the box it only need very minor...

Just seen this thread. It is about proportionality and what a reasonable person would see as, well, reasonable. I honestly don't think someone blatting an intruder with a baseball bat they keep at the side of their bed or next to the door would be prosecuted. As someone else already pointed...

Whatever you do just don't fancy blokes or take the **** out of Putin.

But when the counter politics is based around totalitarianism, inequality, one party dictatorship and eradication of free speech I'm going to go ahead and shout "Go USA!" And China is not, and likely will never be, a force for good.

I'll happily side with the US over Russia on virtually anything. Russian vs Western way of life? No contest old fruit.

Agreed, fellow pleb here. The higher up the food chain you go the more bullet proof you are even if you are earth shakingly crap at your job. The private sector is as bad for this as the public sector. And god help you if you have the audacity to point out how crap someone is.....

Shogun 2 TW, there had been a couple of so-so releases but Shogun was completely brilliant and I still play it now.

Mafia 3 has a post release patch with frame rate uncap included in the works apparently. That they can't release the thing uncapped to begin with just shows the shoddy state of coding these days.
