Started using trakt.tv lately because it's something recommended in Kodi for keeping track of things you have watched and also links in with Netflix etc.
It's a decent system but the real beauty of it was that it reminded me of the movie drafts we did here a few years ago, reading through them is good fun.

I would hope that the danger has passed by a number of hours at this stage.

There's at least 2 IPBers mentioned above in Vegas. Not hurt that I am aware.
I would hope that the danger has passed by a number of hours at this stage.
And I think they are giving instructions to people. They are telling people to avoid the immediate area. There are cancelled and diverted flights and some closed roads.

James Buchanan lobbied the US Supreme Court to find in Dred Scott that slaves and their descendants could not be US Citizens and therefore could not sue in US courts. He also allowed the south to secede from the Union. Andrew Jackson was a spectacular racist who dispossessed and forcibly moved entire nations of Indians.
Trump is terrible. But only by modern standards. He would be a pretty moderate 19th century president.You are technically correct...the best kind of correct

He will just be the most ineffective US President ever. All he's 'achieved' is shit-stirring on a scale hitherto unseen.

Bad thinking, poor reasoning and an orgy of hyperbole, overreaction and emotional self-indulgence is part of our society’s currency right now and P+F to a certain extent reflects that. Nothing wrong with taking a reasoned argument to it and seeing how we get on.Last edited by Kayroo; 02-10-17, 14:12.You are technically correct...the best kind of correct

Is OneNote the best app to write over PowerPoint slides and PDFs or is there anything better?

P+F appears to have an uncanny knack of reacting almost precisely the way twitter would. Almost like one of those interminable “this is what twitter users had to say” articles.

How on earth did he keep multiple guns in his room with no one knowing? I would have assumed vegas had detectors?

You don't need to go through a metal detector to get into Vegas. He could have a whole Arsenal of weapons in his room and nobody would know.

Twitter is incredibly tilting.
I wish there was a way to filter out all the 'praying for you Vegas' bullshit when trying to read actual information.
One guy was praying 'extra hard'.
'I'm gonna meditate harder than I normally do, to help the victims'
Fuck off.I hold silver in tit for tat, and I love you for that

Mia had a bit of a run in with a 12 yr old boy on the school bus on way home today.
Little chap aged 5/6 was using Vicks, he had a cold. The other fella was shouting in his face " you know you're gonna die from that stuff, you will prob die tonight in your sleep" kept at it till young lad started crying.
Mia snapped got up off Seat and said, " why are you saying that? Tell me why? Other lad goes" cause I wanted to see how he'd react "
So mia goes," how would you feel if you were in his shoes right now, he's younger than you so just leave him alone please." he didn't really argue with mia as such just shut his gob then.
Little fella sat in beside mia then and said" I don't like you, I like her she's nice " lol
She said it was so sad to watch so reported him to bus driver getting off.
I said fair play mia standing up to a 12 yr old boy, dunno would I have reported him though.
I don't care she said, might make him think in future before he bullies others.
Nice to know she cared and nice to know she hadn't fear!Her sky-ness

I watched Snowden earlier. I wasn't impressed. I thought on a whole it was quite boring.
I understand it's probably a relatively hard story to make exciting but it was all a little meh
