The Other Place Forums

Man, there have been some major events in folks’ lives. Nice to see that quite a lot of them are positive.

Congrats on the wedding and baby Ekona! Glad you’re still alive RB!

And very sad to hear that Glam isn’t.

Hello! This place just popped into my head... I don’t know when I last visited, but the fact that it took me a couple of attempts to remember the URL gives you an idea. It brings me great joy to see TOP is still here (even if less active than before). Thanks nomis, Dan, for keeping the hamster on th...

It's cramp. I get the same from time to time (with exactly the same trigger). It's horrible way to wake up.

My normal tactic is to rub my calf muscle hard with my knuckles whilst whimpering like a little girl.

It can't be upgraded, but you might want to look at the new Pi 3 that's just been released. Faster CPU and GPU, and 1GB RAM. Depending on which version of the Pi you're currently running then it could be a substantial step up in performance!

Puncture repair: £14.40.

Also an iron, a kettle and an AC router. I have all the megabits. And crease-free clothes.

Nah I was just utterly fucked out my tree on the stuff, was having a shit, about to nip it off, and fell off the bowl. Worst bit was it woke my mum up so she came in and I was lying on the bathroom floor with a log lying behind me surrounded in a moat of Guinness shits, and I was fast asleep. :lol:...

UPS had its first real test over Christmas, as the inclement weather knocked out the power for nearly 3 hours. Server ran on battery for somewhere around 2 hours and then shut itself down once the remaining juice reached 10%. A previous test was my wife switching off the wrong socket when trying to ...
