    Today is NerdZone's First Leap Year!

    On the subject of calendars, I had the idea of making December 90 days long and cancelling January and February. Just think: * 90 days to get all your Xmas socials in "sorry I'm busy on the 28th but I can make the 77th" * What is now Jan and Feb becomes part of the Christmas fun run * That...

    Help with replacement Panasonic handsets

    Thanks Retro. The old handset was a KX-TGA80SE which seems to be obsolete, although I can probably get them on eBay. The base has model number KX-TG8061E

    Help with replacement Panasonic handsets

    Anyone know if Panasonic cordless handsets are backward compatible? 2 handsets of ours have failed. Can I replace the handsets with a newer model (keeping the main base and 3rd handset which are older) or should I just buy a new system. Will the new handsets connect with the older base? Thanks...

    Craziest reasons co-workers got fired?

    In this day and age of remote working, I never know when people are leaving, I just know (usually some time after ) when they have gone. Sadly we don't seem to do announcements or arrange leaving dos anymore. Perhaps I need to turn up end of every month to see if I am latching on to an impromptu...

    Insane theme park ride accidents - just don't do it

    I have done the loopy thing at Action Park, in 1995. Had no idea how unsafe it was, you just had total trust. I felt if I put my arms and legs out I'd get stuck so I didn't want to do that. But I got my back quite scratched on grains that had collected at the bottom. The same day I nearly fell...

    Greenland and an abandoned US airbase

    Hey Retro did you get TheEalingURL on to your forum? That's totally cool. I've been watching some of those videos of Greenland. Amazing spots of such beauty. The E URL has done stuff in Antarctica as well. It gives you a sense of perspective when all around are seals and penguins! Props to you...

    The history of all those fancy football stats on TV

    My cousin's heavily into this stuff. He is one of the people behind statsbomb, sophisticated data miners that came up with Expected Goals and various other stats

    Swimming in Space

    Imagine: You are having a nice swim in a swimming pool. But this particular swimming pool is in a space station in deep space. Suddenly the roof of the space station opens and all the air is sucked out, plunging it into a vacuum. The water immediately boils and you will die of asyphixiation, or...

    What If a Time Traveler Erased Your Existence?

    But if (s)he gets involved, then her answers may cause forum users to react differently, especially if (s)he appeared in the past and said something that caused any of us to react differently as a consequence. The Forum may even disappear if (s)he can convince you that having it is a bad thing...
