Quakeworld (the multiplayer variant of Quake) has a small but highly active community, still playing high end tournaments. I went to a LAN for it Sweden in January. What's really impressive is how much work has been put into the server/client over the the past 25 years since ID stopped updated...

My assumption is it is being extended to 8am Wednesday. I think last year it was like that, basically 4.5 days in total.

A 1.2 turbo is fine. We have a 2L hybrid now but done A303 plenty of times in 130hp 1.2. Fiesta 1.2 less so I assume.

So basically what you find in football is that often the fear of failure overcomes the opportunity for success when it comes to risk taking. Away goals: Supposed to avoid away teams parking the bus, in reality, makes home teams park the bus. Golden Goal: Supposed to encourage attacking play to...

Fundamentally I think the original statement was a bit misleading which has led to the confusion - prices did not fall because of the attack by Iran. They fell (only very slightly) after the attack because of the geopolitical aftermath of the attack and stance from US etc as mentioned, with the...

It doesn't mean nothing though, it means the second match needs a winner to decide the tie, unlike if there is a victor in the first leg. The whole point is you play home and away to make it fair, rather than just playing one match, both sets of fans get to see the big european tie at their...

Inflation is more than 50% above target currently, even if it is heading in the right direction. The way I'd position it is that inflation is now at a level that reduces the chances of rate rises (compared to 5%+), but it's above 3%, that's not normally the sort of level you'd be scrambling to...

I hadn't really thought about it that way but I guess you're right: Opinions get upvoted, so by default they get presented at the top, and readers are also subconsciously told "this is a good opinion" by the little upvote counter, so it sort of indoctrinates them into that way of thinking (or...

OK that's fair to distinguish between loans and HP, but I was replying to a poster specifically mentioning loans. Regardless, my point is mostly around how we define 'affordability', and I don't fully agree that inability to pay for something outright in cash means you can't afford it, even if...

OK to build on my post from a couple of months ago about my experience as a relative newcomer to Reddit, this is bizarre. I've been posting on online forums since the 90s, and probably wasted too much time on some of them (...), but I've never got particularly wound up. Yet Reddit for whatever...

It was increased to 100 years ago :) Worth noting that posts per page however regressed I think(?), many years ago I think you could have 200 posts not 100.

Thanks, amazed someone would still be using the same case as me! To be honest I don't want to get into proper case modding, I know I'll end up doing a bodge job and regretting it, the fan holes would be misaligned or something so I'd end up with only 2 screws holding it in, slicing my hands...

Agree with Dowie, don't just look at the headline pension contribution percentage. 17% is great but you can build a bigger pension with 3% never mind 6% if you are getting paid enough.

Depends what we mean by "afford it". In the purest sense, If you make all the loan repayments, then it was affordable. Plenty of things you can't buy outright are affordable with a loan, because requiring a loan is just addressing the amount of cash you have today, not the amount of cash...

Yeah you're probably right, this is the type of **** that would drive me up the wall if I was a manager. Anyone getting into an argument over a pen (excluding the designated taker and captain) would be fined two weeks wages as far as I'm concerned as I'd have spelled out the letter of the law...

On the one hand I think this fight over the penalty has been blown a bit out of proportion, we've seen it happens many times over the years, nothing new here, even at Chelsea. I remember Drogba throwing a paddy because he wanted a penalty last game of the season when he was in contention for...

The rewards are changing again for TOTS (no idea in what direction), I had an announcement when logging in about it.

I always find it a bit ironic that we have these detailed threads about optimising finances in terms of mortgages/savings etc but then people are worried about savings burning a hole in their pocket! I mean, to me it's all interconnected as part of the plan, you put money aside in savings...

Yes, but it's all based on what the lender thinks will happen with interest rates during the course of the term (which in turn is likely to be based on what the money markets think). Basically, you pay a premium for a fixed rate if they expect rates to go up. If they expect rates to come...

Gaming and general desktop usage. I think the the settings used are somewhat secondary as I'm more concerned about the cooler itself (i.e. it runs hot at stock), but i've boosted the limits, put +200 boost and applied a crude all core negative offset. cpu-z bench was around 9500 single core and...
