How serious are you guys when you talk about punching nazis?
  • Thanks, that's really interesting. I guess black laces were the only safe option!

  • Thank you for being less lazy than me! Still though, white laces are pretty common. I wouldn't want to be mistaken for a white supremacist just because of that.

  • Could you expand on the laces thing? I've never heard of laces (white, yellow or anything else) signifying anything in this topic.

    In what videogame you're currently stuck and you gave up or drop it for a while?
  • Yeah, same here. I don't disbelieve those who love it, but I just couldn't get into it because it felt so unintuitive.

  • Not stuck exactly, more slightly overwhelmed, by Skyrim - never played it before, but it was cheap on Steam recently and day one I played for about 5 or 6 hours... and I've never yet gone back because there's already so much to do. I will go back eventually though.

    [Match Thread] Liverpool vs Nottingham Forest | Premier League Regular Season - 4 | Sep 14, 2024
  • How on earth are Liverpool not in front in this game? So much control, so much pressure, it's felt like only a matter of time.

    Real shame Diaz didn't finish his chance after winning a lost cause (love to see players doing that!) Maybe he should have squared it, but he had earned the right to have a go I think.

    What movie have you rewatched the most?
  • The Story of Star Wars

    I've got that on a 12" record! You might be the only person I've ever encountered who had it too.

    Sadly my copy is very scratched, probably because my brother and I played it so much as kids!

    Fellow MSTies, what is your all-time favorite episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000?
  • Time Chasers for me (and like OP, it's partly because it was my first ever episode)

    Lots of others though, not an easy choice!

  • Which view is that? I can see spaces with some views and vote counts with others.

    Small Cards - no vote count Cards - no vote count Slides - vote count is there

    Normally I use Smaller Cards, so I don't see a vote count anytime until I open a post.

    What are the most important holidays for each major religion?
  • It's not like Christmas or New Years which are reliably 12/25 and 1/1.

    You say that, but then there's Venezuela.

  • European club football was more enjoyable (that's not to say technically better, just more enjoyable) when we had the European Cup, the UEFA Cup and the he Cup Winners' Cup, all as pure knockout competitions.

  • Already getting sick of seeing 'AI' results at the top of a search when all you want is a link to a site?

    I just discovered this article showing a way to not see it (although it doesn't disable it altogether).

    TLDR:

    • In Chrome open settings menu, choose Search engine on left menu and scroll down to site search
    • Click Add button and choose a name (eg Old Google, Google Web or whatever)
    • Add a shortcut word (eg web, og, or whatever)
    • Add this URL string: https://www.google.com/search?q=%s&udm=14
    • Save that, and now if you search for something and use the shortcut word you set you'll just get proper results, no 'AI' shown
    • Or, if you don't want to have to add a shortcut word, you just make that search your default (use the 3 dot menu next to the name you set) and all searches will show that way, no shortcut word needed.

    EDIT - meant to add that there are detailed instructions for Edge, Firefox and Safari in the article if you don't use Chrome

    Hope that helps someone - I really don't like all that extra nonsense when I just want a link to a site that I know exists!

    [Obligatory - "or don't use Chrome/Google...", I know - but people do, so this might be useful]

    Just wondering if anyone knows of a way to do this?

    Here's my use case in more detail

    I have a laptop and a PC, with the laptop connecting to one of my 2 monitors via an HDMI splitter. This allows me to use my PC on both screens most of the time, but then quickly switch one monitor to show the laptop, when required.

    Only thing is that doing that causes all PC windows* on Screen 2 to jump to Screen 1, while Screen 2 now shows the laptop's windows. That's fine, and I get why it does that (effectively the PC thinks I've disconnected Screen 2).

    \* (usually it's a bunch of Chrome windows, 5-7 of them - for work/multi-client reasons this works best for me and my PC handles it fine)

    When I switch the HDMI splitter back, all PC windows remain on Screen 1, while Screen 2 is once again showing my PC desktop, but with no windows. Ideally all windows would flip back to where they were before, but I don't think there's a way to do this, and again, that's fine.

    My next preferred option is to be able to able to move all Chrome windows over from Screen 1 to Screen 2 quickly - and this is what I'm looking for advice on. I can't seem to find a way to "select" all/multiple Chrome windows and shift them to Screen 2, but it feels like there must be a way?

    Any help greatly appreciated :-)

    Sorry Norway. Our jammy win in Oslo robbed you of a chance to experience a major tournament. Instead, your place went to a badly organised rabble, with no urgency, no ambition and not even basic ball control.

    You should have been in this tournament, and that disgraceful excuse for a Scotland team should have been languishing in 3rd or 4th. How in god's name did we beat Spain?

    Sorry Norway, you deserved better.

    Of limited interest, I'm sure, but I spent a bit of time working all this out, and wanted to post it before Scotland go 2 down after 5 minutes tomorrow and render it all moot...

    So.

    If Scotland lose to Hungary, we're out. No ifs, buts, or maybes.

    If we draw then we need at least 2 out of 3 scenarios to happen in order to sneak through:

    • Spain beat Albania AND Italy beat Croatia
    • Turkey beat Czechia AND Portugal beat Georgia
    • Denmark beat Georgia AND England beat Slovenia by 5 or more (I think)

    If Scotland win against Hungary then any 2 (or more) of these scenarios gets us through

    • Spain avoid defeat to Albania (Scotland would finish better than Albania and also better than one of Croatia or Italy, regardless of their result)

    • Netherlands beat Austria (Scotland would be ahead of both Austria and Poland)

    • England avoid defeat to Slovenia (Scotland would be ahead of Slovenia and also at least one of Denmark or Serbia).

    • There's also the possibility that Slovenia hammer England (Scotland could finish better than England on goal difference and also would be ahead of at least one of Denmark or Serbia)

    • Portugal avoid defeat to Georgia (Scotland would be ahead of Georgia and also ahead of one of Turkey or Czechia)

    • Even if Georgia did win, we could beat them on GD, but we'd have to thrash Hungary, so not likely.

    • No draws on match day 3 in group E. Doesn't matter who wins, as long as two teams do.

    • Or, if there are 1 or 2 draws in group E then it comes down to goal difference, so we would have to hammer Hungary, see above.

    And yes, I made a spreadsheet to work all this out... :-)

    I've no idea if this is technically possible at all, but on posts like the one above, where multiple images have been added, it would be really handy to be able to swipe between them as if they were in a gallery. At present it's a case of open one, close it, open the next, etc...

    Same for comments, not sure if that would be different than posts.

    Thanks :-)
