Hey, nothing wrong with being an appletini-weenie! 😀
Plus, a sweet drink just hits the spot sometimes. Remember that recipe you posted on FB for Baileys, vanilla vodka, with coffee ice-cubes? I stole the idea (had to use toffee vodka, the store was out) and it went down a storm at New Years.

[quote quote=1297]Hahha those days are long gone. I can’t have any sweet drinks, I actually drink Scotch neat now or just on the rocks but never any sweet shit. Nasty hangovers. I can barely drink beer because it makes me all tired. Don’t get me wrong I’ll drink the shit out of some 18yr single-malt Glenlivet but I actually prefer Black.[/quote]
The opposite of me; I used to be a barman, so I’ve got a repertoire of cocktails and mixed shooters that I love to get reacquainted with now and then, especially if I’m hosting. Maybe one day my sweet tooth will fall out, but it hasn’t happened yet 😀
As for beer, I love this little award-winning beauty – one of the very few drinks I ever tried that was like a lightbulb switching on in my mouth. Bursting with flavour, as if you could water it down one part in five and make regular-tasting beer out of it:

[quote quote=1288]Scotch:30 on deck nice, I hear ya about babylife. I remember it all too well. Slowly making my way back into the forums so its great to see you old fucks around still![/quote]
So any particular brand of Scotch you prefer? I don’t usually go for the stuff, but when I do I like Dalwhinnie – it’s smooth, a little sweet, and by chance it’s distilled not that far from my old backyard 😀

The VIVE Pro is out now – it features 78% more resolution than the first-gen VIVE; one reviewer said the difference made it not just easy to now read text on a book page in VR, but to read text from such a book on the opposite wall of the virtual room.
https://www.vive.com/uk/product/vive-pro/
The main pisser is that it is STILL wired, and doesn’t come as a package deal with vital accessories – like controllers, and sensors – like the VIVE does.
In fact, the stand-alone price for these accessories is so high that it would be CHEAPER to buy the HTC VIVE and VIVE Pro than it would be to buy the VIVE Pro and the accessories separately, which seems to be either a poor pricing choice or a blatant gouge, whichever way you want to look at it.
You’ll also need a shit-hot PC, but by now that’s a given.

Ralph N. Haber, “Flight Simulation” (1986)
How can pilots be trained for such complex tasks without killing them in the process? The preferred solution, introduced in WWII, is the flight simulator, in which the pilot can practice many flying tasks while sitting safely on the ground. He or she can even practice responses to unlikely events, particularly those that might lead to disaster.
…Losses in combat are concentrated almost exclusively among pilots with five or fewer combat missions; if the fifth mission is survived, the probability of surviving the remaining ones is 95%, regardless of how many additional missions are flown. These figures suggest that if all pilots could be given the equivalent of their five combat missions before they face the enemy, losses could be minimised drastically, perhaps altering the outcome of the engagement or war.

I logged in as you, went to the thread and posted.[/quote]
It looks like it may be a character-limit issue. It works fine if I chop up what I’m trying to post and submit it one or two sentences at a time.

Harvey Rheingold in his book “Virtual Reality” wrote:
It isn’t hard to imagine a place something like a contemporary health club, with booths of various sizes and kinds of padding, and equipment such as stationary bikes and treadmills, where cyberspace apparatus of various kinds is available on a membership or by-the-hour basis.
That was in 1991. The future’s here, folks! 😀

[quote quote=1225]There is more – just so much to consider for a 2 minute VR ride![/quote]
Absolutely, although I experienced a company a couple of days ago that has a pretty efficient way of selling a range of VR experiences, including rides:

“There is a a limit of how many links can be placed in a post, I believe it is two links at max.

Still not allowing me to post, even with no URLs or images in the post at all 🙁
