Its basic, but functional. The instructions are fairly easy, and once you have flashed a custom kernel you can either add games to the internal memory (230Mb) or use a USB stick with an On The Go through adapter. I’m using a 256Gb Sandisc with mine and have about 550 games on it. There loads of guides on YouTube, with Kyland K and Patten Plays the most helpful IMHO. If you decide to do it and are not happy with it it’s very easy to return it to standard configuration, but it’s extremely addictive getting retro games to work. The SNES mini form factor, controls and GUI are also very well thought out.

Thank you, I’ll look into that. It definitely appears to be the most attractive option now. The wife wants something plug and play, the Sega system appears to be trash and this retro pie appears to be a wormhole I’m not sure I wanted to go down. The snes mini would be good from the offset and I could then look into hacking it down the road. Can you run any other joy pads with the snes / hakatchi?

Oh and Rose looked great. Definitely thought she won rounds 1,2 and 5 clearly. Joanna still in fantasy land.  Too bad Rose didn’t take her down and choke out to draw a line under it.

Well, that was a another dominant win from Khabib, but I’m not one bit confident that Tony or Max wouldn’t have given him terrible problems if he tried to stand with them like he did with Iaquinta. He was jabbing the face off him, but took way too many flush shots in response.

Yeah I’m inclined to agree. I think Tony Ferguson in particular will have been gutted to watch that. Iaquinta looked distinctly average and still managed to make Khabib look like a mere mortal with a low stance, feinting his own take-downs and managing to avoid Khabib’s low singles. It’s hard to know if Khabib was fully healthy but may still have been feeling the weight cut, he seemed incapable of adapting his game.

Calling out GSP might be as much about avoiding that weight cut as it is about avoiding waiting around for McGregor to sort his life out. GSP would maul him based on that fight.

I think McGregor would have beaten him handily on Saturday night’s form. I think Gaethje is a bad matchup for Khabib but I don’t see him beating Poirier (I guess we’ll soon see) and I don’t see Khabib sticking around at Lightweight.

@palmer77 , what’s the interface / usability like with Hakatchi?

A new rabbit hole emerges.

Just watching it now.

McNuggets could have really **** someone up with that sack barrow through the window. Prick.

Don’t touch Conor’s Artem! Ride or die. Is it wrong that I think a bare knuckle fight between him and Khabib in the car park would have been awesome?

Just caught up on the story in that Indie link – still amazed that a old guy of nearly 80 was able to overpower a bloke under 40, but glad that the right man won.

He looks like a large enough chap, perhaps there was a struggle and he just got lucky, for want of a better word. It reinforces my opinion that arming oneself with a knife for self defence is a bad idea, or certainly not a great idea because if push comes to shove and you’re forced to use it there’s a very real chance of someone getting killed or seriously injured.

Not been online for a bit. Thought the bus attack was the end of this week’s weirdness.

Have you seen the latest embedded?

No I think it would be the only fitting way to end this week will be for Raging Al to win the main event by way of a Khabib self Ko during a failed take down.

Raging Al stepping in to the main event.

Tony Pettis and Al Iaquinta are apparently still in the mix to fight Khabib. It has to be Pettis, they can’t leave Felder without a fight. Number 1 bullshit!

Conor McGregor managing to make the local and UK news tonight for acting like a **** and yet you’d think he, and the sport of MMA didn’t exist if you relied on their coverage of the sport.

Goddamn fake news.

Better yet, look past McGregor’s indescretions and feed Nurmagomedov to Artem Lobov. See if “The Eagle” can handle the GOAT!🐐🐐🐐

Surely there must be a sum of money that’ll convince Anthony Petis to step in?

how is this going to effect your decision making when you encounter a complete stranger in your house in the middle of the night who’s motives are criminal at best?

WHAT ?we were discussing  what were the factors likely to lead to someone being a criminal you have  completely missed the point of the post- very odd as others got the point.

Yes yes, everyone’s blown away by the profundity of your analysis re the socio-economic factors that lead to criminality. You’re amazing, erudite, empathetic and you come from the hood. We see that. However, since the thread is about the actions of a home owner, in the heat of the moment, and the thread is called “Murder or reasonable force?” it’s amazing that you cannot tie the two aspects together and consider that your SJW waffle is irrelevant to the victim of a crime while that crime is being perpetrated upon them.  It’s very odd as others can see that one is relevant to the other.

Or are you reverting to your meta deconstructionist troll character where you’re not concerned with making coherent points or representing you own views honestly?

JUNKYARD

You are going to have to explain why socio-economic factors are so strongly linked to crime. What is your explanation?

Some of you really need to read the parable of the sower

<span class=”text Matt-13-1″>That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the lake.</span><span id=”en-NIV-23542″ class=”text Matt-13-2″><sup class=”versenum”>2 </sup>Such large crowds gathered around him that he got into a boat and sat in it, while all the people stood on the shore.</span> <span id=”en-NIV-23543″ class=”text Matt-13-3″><sup class=”versenum”>3 </sup>Then he told them many things in parables, saying: <span class=”woj”>“A farmer went out to sow his seed.</span></span> <span id=”en-NIV-23544″ class=”text Matt-13-4″><span class=”woj”><sup class=”versenum”>4 </sup>As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up.</span></span> <span id=”en-NIV-23545″ class=”text Matt-13-5″><span class=”woj”><sup class=”versenum”>5 </sup>Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow.</span></span> <span id=”en-NIV-23546″ class=”text Matt-13-6″><span class=”woj”><sup class=”versenum”>6 </sup>But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.</span></span> <span id=”en-NIV-23547″ class=”text Matt-13-7″><span class=”woj”><sup class=”versenum”>7 </sup>Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants.</span></span> <span id=”en-NIV-23548″ class=”text Matt-13-8″><span class=”woj”><sup class=”versenum”>8 </sup>Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop—a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.</span></span> <span id=”en-NIV-23549″ class=”text Matt-13-9″><span class=”woj”><sup class=”versenum”>9 </sup>Whoever has ears, let them hear.”</span></span>

You are blaming the seed  rather than seeing the wider picture. Yes I grew up in a poor area and i assure you more of my  friends ended up criminals than   the children who went to Eton.

Its simplistic to ignore all factors involved.

And how is this going to effect your decision making when you encounter a complete stranger in your house in the middle of the night who’s motives are criminal at best?

kerley

Well that depends on what sort of life people have had and how much that has a bearing on how they turned out/what things they did.

A child of a single mother alcoholic who looked after themselves from the age of 8 and got into groups which led to a life of crime would to me be seen as a victim.

True, but that doesn’t change the fact that unless you work for emergency services you probably won’t want to get on the wrong end of such a person. If you’re awakened by a disturbance in the middle of the night and you go downstairs and catch someone in the process of robbing you, protecting your family should be your main goal. Sympathy in that situation is going to get you further victimised/killed.

That’s not to advocate murdering people with impunity, but the truth is some people are violent degenerate assholes / broken people and if you encounter a stranger in your home at night without invitation you have no way of gauging the limits of their intentions.

rocketman

We’re primitive creatures that have evolved to spend a few minutes at max effort running away from sabretooth tigers and/or hours creeping up on woolly mammoths. Exercise for the sake of it is something our bodies aren’t that keen on

It’s a complicated subject and I don’t know enough about it.

So where does persistence hunting factor into your explanation?

epicsteve

I don’t think it’s quite that clear cut. Now any sensible burglar you’d think would run as soon as they’d been discovered by the homeowner.

Even that’s an assumption that mightn’t play out – what if the burglar’s preferred or only escape route is blocked by you? Are you going to have a conversation? What if there’s another burglar elsewhere in the house who’s got the valuables? He might not want to abandon his partner.

So shoot or stab an armed burglar in the front then you’re probably going to be ok legally, but shoot or stab them in the back and you’ve probably got problems.

What about the side or the flank? What if they knock you to the ground and are lying on top of you? Can you stab them in the back then?

There’s probably no way to know how these things play out.

<div class=”bbp-reply-author”>andy8442

As in my original question, can anyone possibly put up an argument against there use?

Yes, in the summer they get too soft and the tyres squirm around on the treads too much making them unpredictable in corners. This can lead to a situation where the lug can tear off completely causing a catastrophic failure of the tyre.

End thread?

chapaking

it’s hard to have any real strong opinion without more info.

Nah, we’re at four pages of expert opinion already!

There are two conversations running concurrently by the looks of it – people debating the case (pointless) and people debating the “what would you do” / “what should you be allowed to do” hypotheticals.

I will go with being there by invitation, and the burglary just being a cover story.

They could have been there by invitation (eg. blokes he met at the pub) who then turned nasty and decided to rob him / were already targeting him. So many variables it’s hard to have any real strong opinion without more info.

Daaang. Have to say I would have been even more interested in this.

A quick google suggests no. Probably just a New Zealand based production.

poah

If a preacher comes to my room uninvited I’ll be using my dying breath to tell them to **** off

I’d probably say “no thanks,” but I share your sentiment.

Yeah we might all say that but if you’re weak, lonely afraid etc then you might might be happy just to have someone close. This kind hints at a problem which doesn’t really tie neatly into this thread but it’s that the christian churches do the big life events very well. As the church becomes increasingly anachronistic and more people become atheists we need something to span the gap.

I’m not religious. I don’t honestly think I could say I’m spiritual but I think a lot of people benefit from some kind of spirituality to help them cope with tragedy or profound events and it needn’t be based on faith.

Weak sideburn game on Mokey there. I’m ooot.

The Tesla is supposed to be level 3 isn’t it (ie the worst level)

No it’s level 2 iirc. You could probably describe it as glorified cruise control, not in terms of what it can do, just in terms of how involved the driver has to be.

Oh yes, be still, my beating heart!

I’ve met her, y’know. (-:  Not the most flattering pic, but:

I enjoyed the many “hover hand” memes she was in.

Oh come on, when it comes to action movies it’s barely half way down the scale

The scale of what? I can’t put my finger on it but I found those films to have some kind of hypnotic impenetrable dullness that I just couldn’t get passed. I know I’m not the target audience and I do like Jennifer Lawrence but I found them really hard to watch.

arrpee

I like the fight, just not so soon. Poses Khabib some of the same problems as Tony – range, pace, durability. Arguably a better fundamental striker than Tony?

I don’t think Holloway will enjoy anything like the same size advantages he did at lightweight but I also like the fight and think it’s a fascinating match (shame about the time frame). Max switches stances all the time so if he can control the distance and not get pressed against the cage he could well get Khabib with a headkick / overhand left while he stalks him. Barboza got a few off against him but didn’t land clean. Beyond that I don’t fancy his chances if Khabib gets it to the ground. Holloway is ranked as a purple belt in BJJ, Khabib had his way with Rafael Dos Anjos who’s a high level black belt.

The rest of the card is pretty awesome, but still…..Tony Khabib would have been something.

No mention of Katniss from the hunger games?

Were you able to sit through that?

What I’m interested in is whether any of you have been to any establishments where you can purchase an inexpensive reusable coffee cup. Would you consider doing this if it was printed with a charity logo and profits went to the charity? Just to be clear, this would be for a small size coffee cup. What cost would you think is acceptable?

I think most coffee shops offer re-useable cups but I’d never buy one since I’ve got my own Klean Kanteen insulated tumblers. I don’t like the idea of yet more plastic, there’s the leaching of chemicals into the beverage and just the overall step up in quality and durabilty you get from something steel. I’m not sure if that helps you or answers the question….I suppose if I didn’t already own something like that I’d maybe buy a steel tumbler if it was cheap enough because it would seem like something worth keeping. Personally I’d be less inclined to buy something emblazoned with a charity name or logo than just a plain finish.

I’d have to go with Zhang Ziyi or Michelle Yeoh. Cynthia Rothrock back in the day.

hodgynd

It’s a pretty crap name mind you..but there you go ..

It did make me raise an eyebrow when I heard the advert, however this thread has made me think about just how bad most car manufacturers are at naming their products.

VW have some real clangers – Tiguan, Touraeg, T-Roc, Arteon…. Renault – Kadjar, Kaptur, Koleos. Skoda Karoq? Crock? Seriously. Even manufacturers who used to have clear, logical numerical nomenclature like BMW for example now have so much clutter in their range that it’s just a quagmire of numbers and letters.

is there somewhere online parents can get guidance on this?

I believe it’s called mumsnet.

Urgh. FFS

Mr. Poopy Butthole.

Michael Bolton.

You’ll be fine unless you’re moving 1000kg in one lump over very rough ground at speed.

Sorry for being terse but I just don’t think I have the time or the energy to get into it, especially since it’s a thread about children’s martial arts and the op has answered it himself.  Your comments about Aikido and Junkyard’s “insight” about BJJ in the streets are so misguided and show such a lack of experience and knowledge that I can’t span that gap, and “McDojo” is completely irrelevant here in any way shape or form.

If you’re online this evening and you still feel like debating it we could start a new thread or just pick this one up at a tangent since the OP’s needs have been met.
