I think a Semite is one of those fruits you find in the weird part of the supermarket.
As for transphobic, I dunno. I just say it because everyone else does. I think it means a fear of transport. Bit like agoraphobia but you're scared of walking.

I bought a HDMI audio splitter to use with my WIIU and external speakers, the thing needs a USB connection for power.
I plugged it in last night, was happily playing Mario Kart and listening to the decent music no longer on the tinny speakers built into my monitor.
Woke up to find that I hadn't plugged the USB power in anywhere, the protective cap was still on the end of it. I'm legit shook guys, what does it need power for? Is my audio splitter haunted by Zeus?

It probably works unpowered but if you plug it in it will be amplified.
Probably, but it was plenty load enough already.

Fear of Trans World Sport?

I thought it was a fear of arguing with the missus.
(I always thought it was spelt "agrophobia".)
It sounds like your speakers are active as opposed to passive. Active systems have built in amplification meaning they don't need a dedicated power source.
Man, I really shouldn't read any threads pertaining to marriage or children on this site. Bums me out, man.
This week seems to be flying past. Can't grumble.
Kiddo spent ten straight minutes pissing herself at our cat last night. Along with 'good girl' and 'car', she's now started shouting 'cat!' whenever he walks in the room. Dunno what tickled her but she was giggling until tears were rolling down her cheeks, just watching him clean himself.
Transphobic is indeed a fear of transport.

I'm pretty sure that semite is a mineral, mainly found in Wales.

Legit.
I think you're right. I'm thinking of angoraphobia which is something different.
I love when children find random things funny or scary. So cute.
Ah that would make sense re Semite. I think they use it for construction in the mind control and wealth accumulation industries.
I feel a bit too liberal today. I'm gonna take on an ism or phobia. Maybe gregorphobia which is intolerance of Gregor.
Thank god for that! I thought it had something to do with willies.

very little is!
It probably does look pretty funny...
I love snow, but I'd only want snow if it were heavy and prevented me going to work. Light snow is drivable but dangerous and turns morons into, well, even bigger morons.
I just hate rain. Being cold is one thing, but being wet is a whole different ballgame.
And while I used to love autumn and winter in general when I was younger, in adult life snow is about the only thing I like about winter and I've found I'd just rather it be spring and summer permanently. Warmer weather and 9pm sunsets can't come soon enough as far as I'm concerned!
Game is so good. With work being so quiet my lunchtime Lumines is the most stimulating part of the day. Headphones loud, of course!
Oh yeah we're doing a BritGAF Hashtag Driveclub #club.
Ninj and Dave and me so far. We can have three more. So let me know if you like a lot of chocolate on your biscuit.
I think it'll mostly just be me playing given that Ninj has a life and Dave's bored of it, mind.
Don't want to post a gif so I'll just let my avatar keep a close eye on you.
Oh shit, gypsy thread in OT. Can all members of BritGAF kindly stay indoors until advised otherwise.
Sorry man, I'm getting old
I'd be down to join HASHTAG club, in need to play it more and stop wasting time on Destiny.

It's a good job Jed isn't here, he absolutely fucking hated gypsies, the racist fuck. I can only assume it was a gypsy that touched him up as a kid, as he's usually so reasonable.
Sploat, your constant whispering in my ear about Lumines has cracked me. I'm re-installing Electronic Symphony as soon as I get home.
To be honest, his racism was so palpable and powerful that I half expected to see his account resurrect itself just for that thread. He's probably on Reddit typing the word 'pikey' over and over and over in random threads as we speak.
Fab. I'll probably sort it out tonight when I play. I think we're already PSN friends. Although I'm not sure how!
David I don't do whispers. Did I mention LUMINES. LUMINES ELECTRONIC SYMPHONY.
Seriously though, it's such an amazing game. I always go back to it. I even dream about it sometimes.

Is it actually in beta or is the beta sign up a sign up for betas?

CHIME WAS SO FUCKING GOOD.
sploatee get chime next you music puzzling bugger you.
That makes sense as the talk in whatsapp is that one of his earlier accounts get banned for using pikey. Jean Turrets or summat?
Yea! That was it. Really enjoyed that.
But is it as good as Lumines?
Tonight I beat my high score. Something like 520,000. I could've gone further but I wasn't blinking enough and started to get tired.
Chime is kind is fun, although it lacks variety in music a bit. Kind of Tetris but with two layers.
Must dig out Lumines as I've not played that in some time, but as much as I love LCD soundsystem their track is out of place on electronic symphony. First lumines I remember playing was on my Motorola pebl.
Never really got meteos, it seemed strategy could be substituted for scribbling when under pressure.

There is a certain distance from said door, combined with that quintessentially British reluctance to impose, where the recipient is required to quicken their pace so as not to leave you waiting, possibly requiring more effort than simply opening the door themselves when they get there.
"It's a tightrope Spud, it's a fuckin' tightrope."

Where do you get these from and how much are they?
Also, I'd like to get something better than my monitor speakers, but I have very little space. I know I can use headphones but there are some times when I don't want to do that (for example when eating dinner). Can anyone suggest anything?
The thing I feel most about Disco Infiltrator is that I need to focus because it's a tough level. I really like all of the songs though, it's a nice mix - bit of cheese, some 'chill out' (is that still a buzz word?) and then some great electro ish techno ish stuff.
This weekend! Do you still wanna come over?

Yeah man, Mos Def. Mario Kart!
Maybe Sunday?
Edit: Oh shit, scratch that, olds are up this weekend. Maybe Saturday afternoon?
I'll check with my owner 😄
I have "bear in mind...we all fall behind...from time...to time" in my head now. Thanks 8bit.
Edit: Bowen! Roger. Tomorrow is a go. I've asked a friend from work if she'd like to come too(she is also a #Gamer) but it's not for sure yet. What time m'dear? I can meet you at Piccadilly station, it's nearby.
Desk. I don't have a living room, I rent a room in a shared house.
EDIT: here's a picture of my desk:
Any decent dolby 2.1 setup should be good then.
Well, as you can see, space is kind of an issue. That's why I wanted to know if there are any compact speakers that manage to be not shit.
Mount them on the wall behind your monitor, that's what I did. If you cant use nails, get some of that stuff which doesn't leave marks.
STOP-UH!
Anyone remember the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and the Strokes? Having a bit of a 'retro ish' moment. Even though I know they are both still active.
Also Beck. Where do we stand on Beck? I really like Beck. My favourite album is either Sea Change or The Information and my favourite colour is blue.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs released an album in 2013. It was... bad.
