Re: Shooting at US grocery stores
I like the fact that in Switzerland, virtually every household has at least one gun of the assault rifle style. And kids are taught how to shoot at a very early age (girls as well now).

Re: Shooting at US grocery stores
Always remember, if you outlaw guns, only outlaws will have guns. I wouldn't expect you to understand this, however. It's easier if you only have 500 sq/km to control and no hinterlands. and only 1.887 m population like when the country was given it's independence in 1965.

Re: Absence from Singapore
Thanks, why you think so? Because, what they care about are folks like the clowns from the subcontinent who get PR, then immediately return back to India to work and live for 3 of their 5 year "PR". Traveling for a few weeks, or even a few months, while retaining a Singapore residence, is a far dif...

Re: Ergonomic chair
I don't have aircon so Secretlab is out of the question. too bloody hot and more expensive than the Ergotune as well. The ergotune has open weave mesh backing and seat so is pretty cool. I have a friend with one and I've tried it out. it also has something like 11 or 14 adjustment points and with a ...

Re: Ergonomic chair
You only get a 6 month warranty with those cheap chinese made chairs. Go with ErgoTune. They have a 12 YEAR extended warranty. No I don't have one. Yet. But my old gaming chair is on it last set of wheels and I'll be replacing it with an ErgoTune as I've test rode most of them already. Go to their s...

Re: What happened to the Star Awards?
It's been on life support for the 49 years I've been here. Occasionally they would have something of note, but it was few and far between.
