    The oldest unsolved math problem: perfect numbers

    After probably browsing youtube way more than strictly necessary, math is getting better than podcasts for sleeping. Might be un- intentional, but you'know - it works.

    Those pesky London by-laws you've never heard of

    There's a few internet pranksters like Niko O and Max Fosh that test these laws regularly, for content! I've seen a few - including in france. There's more than a few pushing boundaries on laws that are quaint nowadays

    NerdZone is rebranding

    Most of the internet I know of are returning to old skool to be honest. Retro gaming has become more integrated - it's a certain fact than a niche :)

    Carolina reaper fried chicken blows Gary's head off!

    lmao I laughed at why Gary put himself through it, why would they want to see him of all people go through the spice challenge lol. It's bizarre seeing non- americans do the spice challenge, because there's not really a precedent - outside of Curry as @Geffers said.

    How did you choose your username?

    Crims is from Crimson Viper - which was my alias before the name was popularised on Street Fighter IV, or The Crims I guess.

    Neill Blomkamp films

    Not a lot to add here, I'm a big Blomkamp fan since he's one of the last noteworthy sci-fi writer-directors I've been keeping my eye on. Elysium was good, and he produced a short called Landfall for Halo back in the day that inspired a friend to make a Halo film of their own.

    UK government forces backdoor in Apple encryption: this is BAD

    I can't say I'm happy with the state of affairs of modern internet use, it's practically asking us to not use Twitter etc. That being said, these polices arguably aiming for the devils advocate too.

    NerdZone is rebranding

    Love graphic design, UI UX was always around the corner for me and never got into it. Maybe something creative should start on here?

    NerdZone is rebranding

    @Retro This is the best time to have a confidence in the forum brand. There's no better alternative: most people that have forum name swaps usually do that out of a pressure to modernise and IMHO it's not dated yet. I'm usually mulling long posts so I don't interact - still lurking tho!

    NerdZone is rebranding

    The best thing about Nerdzone imho is the shorthand NZ, and while xenForums has its appeal it lacks the utility that the current domain has. All forums are usually hampered by honestly odd names, and I would bet on NZ in the long run over xenForums. There's a uneasiness to most generic name...

    Games and individuality

    Hello! I'm returning to this line of discussion :) -- To most people commenting on my hot takes: I was recently watching a video A Hotline Miami fan recommends a clone that matches the original franchise. Most of my reviews are this ultimately - crawling around in the dark trying to find the...

    When is it too cold to walk your dog?

    If it's 4 degrees or less I'd say it's too cold for dog walking. It's been maybe a 3 year stint since I walked a dog though :cool:

    Half-Life 2: 20th Anniversary Specials expiring 18 November 2024 and documentary

    This is sweet. I wasn't a HL fan - besides the orange box - so seeing what all my friends were into back when I was growing up is a fun eye opener. There's quite a lot of games - wow :) I remember the Flash portal game extensively lol

    Customer service - days long gone

    The process of getting a doctor in the UK is affected by this passively. I kind of believe we're above needing to be grateful for government gateway: at least each health service in west london provides a different excuse why they can't provide any service, with the ones in my area outright...

    Amazing model Concorde

    Can't fault the eurostar. The most effective form of transport, it's that or by ferry - and that's the only option available.
