Nerdy Awesome shit you bought!

How much confidence do you need to off a rabbit?

Is discharging air rifles legal in public? I guess you need the land owners permission. Shrug

You have to have permission from a land owner or it is armed trespass. Living in the country helps

As for confidence, I am nowhere near a good enough shot to take a rabbit with 1 shot yet. At around 35 yards around 2 in 10 hit the target (target being the size of a penny) there are all sorts of things to get used to, wind being the main thing, even an inch off target and it means the rabbit dies a slow, painful bleedout death.

Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 (2016) - Full tablet specifications

Just had one of these delivered from EE (got a discount on a second line), haven't booted it up so can't tell you too much about it, other than it's been on charge for 5 minute and hasn't set the office on fire yet.

I do seem to have a lot of Fire Marshalls round my desk with extinguishers however.

 

[old.user4556]

Samsung? Bro, you've changed.

 

[Bodhi]

I know, I felt dirty ordering it, but they didn't have the Z4 Tablet and I didn't have the cash to order one outright, so went the subsidised route. If I wanted Android it was a choice of that or the EE Jay, which looks a bag of shit, so I gritted my teeth and ordered a Samsung.

My work iPad is up for renewal soon however, so will speak to them about a Z4.

 

[Bodhi]

Hmmm, not the usual quality I'm used to. I currently getting a notification saying it is charging slowly, please use the official Samsung charger.

Which I'm using.

 

[Raven]

My Xperia charges slowly via USB, the magnetic thing charges in under 2 hours though. Not sure if Samsungs have that option though.

Damn you, Steam sales!

Aye well spotted

Not sure if I should be impressed with myself or that I've become a total hill geek.

A Walnut Air Arms TX200 Mk3

Was going to go for PcP but couldn't be arsed with the diving bottle and fucking about refilling it. Had a go on one yesterday and its an amazing air gun, and looks pretty cool too. Shooting penny size targets at 50 yards.

The top one appears to have a kind of staircase going down, then a bit of a level section before PLUNGING YOU OFF THE EDGE OF THE WORLD INTO THE ABYSS!

Mine has the date of our wedding inscribed on the inside. Just in case I forget.

DXRacer Tank Series Gaming Chair (Black/Red) was a choice between the King or Tank only two they had in stock at the UAE importer. Actually wanted the Sentinel but not paying $200 to get it shipped from US and not lugging 20+ Kg back on my next trip there

ooh let me know how it is plx. I was looking at those very chairs the other day as my trusty current chair is getting a bit long in the tooth at 12 years old

They're more expensive and less beneficial for your back than a good office chair ( aeron etc ).

 

[Moriath]

They look kinda like a sports seat for a car. Do you need that grip on the sides to stop you movin.

I have a humanscale office chair and this was as good when I tried it at the showroom. Will see how it is for an extended period once it arrives.

A proper gaming chair would have a bogie and toenail receptacle, a drinks holder, an arse crack scratcher and somewhere to store your Haribo.

I find it disgusting that they can choose a piece of software that's not platform agnostic for A-levels.

 

[Raven]

I think its disgusting that parents should have to fork out at all for school related equipment. What if they cannot afford to drop £1k+ on a laptop?

I'm surprised they force that, given most DAWs are platform agnostic. Ableton/FL Studio are.
That's like taking a video editing course and them force you to use windows movie maker. lol.

I bet he can go into school and learn there. It's the convenience of being at home is the thing here.

To be fair - why are they teaching music tech? Surely they should teach music - an instrument, theory etc - and if he's sufficiently interested then the tech side of it is something you can do for yourself.
