Hey ya'll, gonna skip the form and do it my way Old skool gamer, played ET competetively 04-07 in Swedish league and others, wasn't a very good aimer, still isn't, but aiming is just one part of this beautiful game. I made the map Secret Weapon together with a good friend, which I'm proud to see in rotation on Jay3 95% of the textures in the map is photos from my home town Helsingborg. Besides playing ET, I run my own business as a graphic designer, photographer and composer, practice Taekwondo, MMA, running and calisthenics, play the piano and hang out with my family and friends.

Portugal lost against Uruguay!

Hi everyone, Insurgency: Sandstorm releases in a few months and we’re all very excited to get it in your hands. In order to ensure the best possible experience on release, we are doing another round of Windows PC-only Alpha testing. There have been a lot of changes since our last Closed Alpha. We’d like to get feedback on all the new maps, balance changes, UI improvements, matchmaking systems, and server hosting functions that have been updated since the last public test. When providing feedback please keep in mind that the game has not yet been fully optimised and some content is still work in progress, this Alpha is intended as stress test and not indicative of the final product. This “Closed Technical Alpha,” as we are calling it is not a part of the pre-order Beta access program. Any players who pre-order Insurgency: Sandstorm on Steam will get access to an exclusive Beta version a few weeks before release. Players who are in the Closed Technical Alpha will not necessarily have access to the Beta unless they pre-order.

I expected 🇬🇧 to win smoother

For frag maps (te_valhalla, goldrush_arena), the player with the most frags after two rounds wins. For objective maps (mp_sillyctf, ctf_multi, ctf_well, osiris_final), one round is enough.

Ad trackers aren’t just a threat to your privacy – they can making browsing a drag by doubling page load times according to a survey by online privacy company Ghostery. Researchers used a custom-built web crawler to analyze the top 500 websites in the US (as determined by Alexa) – once using Ghostery’s tracker blocking browser extension, and once without. First, be proactive in protecting your own privacy Jeremy Tillman, Ghostery Without trackers blocked, just 17% of pages loaded within five seconds. Over 60% took longer than 10 seconds, and nearly 5% took over a minute. When trackers were blocked, the average page load time dropped by over half. Ghostery calls this difference the ‘tracker tax’ – and it’s not the only price to pay for 'free' sites. There’s a whole ecosystem built up around trackers, which were present in 90% of the web pages crawled. They work by gathering snippets of information about you that might not be worth much on their own, but combine to create a detailed picture of you as an individual – your location, income, nationality, marital status, political views and more. This is all tied together with a piece of personally identifying information like an email address that you use across multiple sites, making a package that’s a valuable tool for advertisers that enables them to target you with laser precision. Stopping trackers It’s a whole industry, so how can you take down trackers, protect your privacy and speed up page load times? “First, be proactive in protecting your own privacy,” Jeremy Tillman, director of product at Ghostery, tells TechRadar. “A lot’s been said recently about GDPR, but even with these regulations in place, it doesn’t solve the core problem of businesses built around your data.” Your phone can not only monitor what you see, it can also track where you are and which places you visit Jeremy Tillman, Ghostery Naturally Tillman advises using a tracker blocker like Ghostery, but he also recommends checking sites’ privacy settings and possibly using a VPN to hide your location, providing an extra layer of anonymity. He also suggests using a third-party web browser with tracking protection for mobile devices. “That’s really essential because your phone can not only monitor what you see, it can also track where you are and which places you visit,” he says. Using a third-party browser with built-in tracker blocking will also give you better protection on the desktop. If you’re looking for a privacy-first mobile browser, there are several options to choose from, including Cliqz by Ghostery’s parent company, and Firefox Focus. Cat and mouse Tillman describes blocking trackers the traditional wau as a game of cat-and-mouse. "Trackers are always changing," he says, "and if we don’t have one in our database, we can’t block it. "To address this, we have a new AI tracker filter. This works in a different way, detecting trackers in real time – even ones that aren’t in our database. Rather than blocking them, it scrubs the data that’s being sent, stripping out personal information like your email address." Ghostery has also added an ad-blocker that works in a similar way. Some of the bigger browser developers, including Google, are taking steps to minimize the impact of ads on everyday browsing, but their built-in tools are only designed to block the most egregious of advertisers. Ghostery's conclusion is clear: you might already be aware of trackers' impact on your privacy, but speed can also take a real hit – and you'll have to take matters into your own hands to avoid it. After all, your time is money. Check out our list of the best free antivirus software View the full article

Johny ready to fly with dron... 😮

I had it work exactly once. Saw people present in channel in the top left corner of my screen.

That was soooo cool I loved the music you chose. Truly a sweet nugget of a video!

Miss you guys.

DJ's post: I am seeing an explosion of FB posts from my relatives like that one! I posted an earlier one from here, the "Heck Dog" one, to my sister-in-law's page for her son to see. He was "greatly amused". Vindstodt's post : I am going to pass that onto another nephew's FB page. He is a dog-groomer. I am sure that he has had his share of "little nippers".

I do not have the pb folder, I threw it, the punkbuster service uninstalled, and cl_punkbuster 0 and I have my GUID without problems ---------------------------------------------- // <---- to me they caused errors, and slowdowns

PB client is needed for GUID, I think(XPSave). I use: cl_anonymous "0" I assumed that cl_anonymous "1" wasn't allowed. cg_optimizeprediction "1" is good for jumping(rounding errors) but game will run You into landmines... seta con_debug "1": I use seta con_debug "0". Not sure if debugging is useful. seta r_wolffog "0" is ETLegacy only. seta r_primitives "0": I use seta r_primitives "2" for slightly better FPS with NVidia graphics card. seta r_picmip "3": Will give You lag, I think. These lines with // in front won't cause errors, ET will skip...

It's called soccer for a reason............. (_)_)

Welcome back mate. Dont forget to visit HC. Gengis

LEt´s go Croatia!!!!!

Belgium?

I still donated these 5 USD yesterday, I hope that after the super donations of REMI I will not be forgotten 😪

Basically remove every little last bit out of the map so that they ceases to exist. I dont have anything to suggest,hopefully you end up with a playable map.

create 2 underground tunnels, with 2 exits under the cannons examples:

My English is not one of the best, sometimes I do not communicate because of it. But I always knew that the FA family was there with its members, leaders, players, and as soon as I met I wanted to be a part of it all. I owe my congratulations to those responsible for maintaining everything. Everyone who started and gave continuity so that today, I would come back and find all this here and even better! Both the game and the players have been part of my life, even I do not talk much, but I recognize everyone who made/make part of the history of the game. Thanks man, here in Brazil lacks this feeling of union and family and I as a Brazilian and seeing so many other Brazilians around here, I feel grateful for this feeling that the clan conveys to us.

Ahhh , the memory lane I remeber the begginings , good old times and hope for new better times with this awesome community . Love you to pieces @daredevil

Rewatched the John Wick movies, been trying to find something similar but no joy

I just watched a good movie on Netflix. Its a Netflix produced movie called "The Outsider". It stars Jared Leto. It's about an American man who joins the Yakuza in Japan right after WWII. Pretty decent flick.

THERE, THERE HE/SHE IS, WHAT A BEAUTY!!!!!!!

Boiling Eggs Today I am going to present to you an alternative method of boiling eggs that I find more efficient and quicker in comparison to the standard way, which is boiling it in a pan. Eggs are a good, healthy source of energy, especially boiled eggs. So try to implement this into your weekly meals in reasonably amounts. Note : This tutorial will show how to boil 2-4 eggs at a time. Adjust times for additional eggs. Materials/Apparatus : Kettle, eggs, empty bowl, water, timer. Steps : 1. Gently place the eggs in the kettle. Avoid dropping them in to prevent cracking them. 2. Fill kettle with water to about 2 inches above the eggs. Ensure eggs are fully submerged. 3. Start the kettle. 4. Switch off the kettle just as you start to see the water bubbling. ( Time varies from kettle to kettle - a good kettle can boil within a few minutes ) 5. Leave eggs in the kettle for 4-5 minutes. 6. Empty the water into the sink and place eggs in an empty bowl. 7. Fill the bowl with cold water and allow eggs to settle for 1 minute. 8. Take out eggs and EAT. Total time : Approximately 9 minutes. Note : - Using this method will leave the yoke solid but not dry. ( like a lightly fried egg yoke ) - If you like your yoke runny - reduce the time you leave the eggs in the kettle to 2 minutes. - The first few attempts may result in failure after which you will learn to boil your eggs perfectly without overdoing it! - This technique might not be for everyone but it works for me. - Kettle may need rinsing after usage. Disclaimer : I. hereby, withdraw any responsibility for exploded eggs or damage caused using this technique. Warning: If the egg floats in water instead of sinking, throw away the egg. It is no longer edible and has gone off. ( Thanks BorR )

hmmm me

That is already the second time you put in austria, while they do not even compete. Not a soul mentions that, not even 10tacle, who read your post, is from Switzerland even.... it is Switzerland, not Austria. Or for you: die Schweiz Or is it a joke? Hopefully belgium get to the finals, because that means they beat Brasil (shite Neymar e.g.) and France (meh also) and loose the final to Croatia. Ow, and hopefully England goes rather earlier than later

Fantasy epic The Lord of the Rings is set to return in a very big way with its forthcoming TV series. Having beaten out the likes of Netflix and HBO, Amazon Studios secured the rights to turn the J. R. R. Tolkien novels into a TV show in a record-breaking deal reaching $250m with the author's estates working alongside New Line Cinema - the studio behind Peter Jackson's trilogy - to bring it to the small screen for a "multi-season commitment." While details remain unconfirmed, sources are claiming that the first season won't be centred on the War for the Ring and will instead focus on a young Aragorn who was played by Viggo Mortensen in the films. It will be derived from Tolkien's appendices and notes rather than being a direct adaptation of the novel and will reportedly focus on a different character each season. So, how long will it run for? According to The Hollywood Reporter, Amazon Studios has committed to five seasons with production scheduled to begin at an undetermined time in the next two years. Amazon also confirmed there may be the potential for additional spin-offs in the future. Certain actors from Jackon's trilogy may have ruled themselves out of appearing (Andy Serkis who played Gollum and Gimli star John Rhys Davis), however, one person who'd be up for returning is Gandalf himself, Sir Ian McKellen. Speaking on BBC Radio 2 about the series, he hinted that he'd be unhappy if producers were to recast the character. “What do you mean, another Gandalf?” he told presenter Graham Norton. “I haven’t said yes because I haven’t been asked [to return]. But are you suggesting that someone else is going to play it? Gandalf is over 7,000 years old, so I’m not too old.” Source: https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/news/lord-of-the-rings-tv-show-amazon-aragorn-peter-jackson-ian-mckellen-release-date-a8384016.html
