This is a normal post Addictive indeed
Although with practice it is possible to score screamers that knock the opposition player into the back of the net as well as the ball, the safest thing to do at kick off is nothing at all....

You start off blocking most of your own goal, and once you have let the ball go goalside of your sprite it is rather tricky to get back without scoring an og. It never stops being hilarious watching the CPU fly forward and miss the ball completely to end up wrapping the player around your crossbar, only to panic and then knock the ball into its own goal when trying to hurridly get back.

As a 2 player game this would be awesome

This is a link post Pooing Off A Boat: A Poem I made this!
Hello. I used to be on here a lot writing stupid poems and stuff, but now I am elderly and time-poor and don't really do such things. But I wrote a poem the other day, about hanging your bum off the side of a boat and pooing into the sea, and I had a huge amount of important work to do so thought it was imperative I make it into an HTML5* experience. Contains the word "shit" but is otherwise SFW.

*This might not actually be an HTML5 experience. It's a free template and some stock images and a rude poem about dumping.

I'm doing a training thing at work in the vain hope of a promotion or something - and part of that training is collecting information about what people think of home automation.

It's not funny, and it's not cool, but I'd be really grateful if anyone went and answered these questions. It's all anonymous, so I won't be able to track you down and steal your stuff.

Help me b3ta, you're my only hope.

Everything else is bullshit. I don't care about telling siri to dim the lights, it's not a hassle to turn on a light switch. It's 2019, they invented the automatic washing machine a century ago, and since then, nothing. They talk about going to mars but they can't even design a machine that will wash, dry, and iron and hang in one. Scientists need a good talking to, get their priorities sorted out.

What I'm looking for is whether the home automation take up is being complicated by the proliferation of protocols, and how punters' ignorance fits into that.
We've got some hypotheses, but telling you - the test subjects - what they are is bad practice.

Personally, I have no home automation stuff at all. I have any voice activated features on my essential kit very securely turned off.

Bit like the way LEGO have gone lately with everything needing a compliant phone when all you want to do is sticking some fucking bricks together.
