The doctor poked the light scope in the old man's ear and said, "hey you have a suppository in your ear!" "Rats," said the old man. "Now I know where my hearing aid went." That happened to my neighbor also. But he was having a colonoscopy. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Heaton Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 (edited) To save myself too much embarrassment by posting this elsewhere on the forum and all the youngsters making remarks - like "silly old " whatsit - I feel safe here What the hell is this new thing called "Discord" every one seems to want me to join In my day - "Discord" meant disagreements Maybe a good name for a forum on 4 different flight sims and their merits Edited April 28, 2021 by John Heaton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Hello John, Discord is a place where people can meet and exchange messages by text, voice and video. In the context of flight simulation, a great many developers of all kinds have Discord servers that one may be invited to join. Orbx now have one as well. This doesn't mean that these forums are redundant or that one must join Discord. It's just another way to communicate and in my opinion, a very good one.

Bassman Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Multiplayer simmers use these types of channels to do all the private chat and keeping aircraft radios free for official calls and communications with ATC etc. IMHO there are certain privacy issues that I do not like about Discord but that is my personal opinion only. My flying group still use Teamspeak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Hello, I am reading this: Quote Discord Inc. says it now has more than 250 million registered users, up from 130 million a year ago, and that 850 million messages are exchanged daily. I respect your point of view about privacy, mine is that if they can find me in 250 million users, then they are welcome to read what I wrote. There are problems, but they are the type that are easily avoided and nothing to do with privacy. Staying away from unregulated gaming channels is the best solution. I find that very easy to do, as I don't do gaming, beyond those that involve Orbx products, of course. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W2DR Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 I dunno what it is either but a couple of days after taking a look there I found my ntuser.dat contained hundreds of .lua files for games I've never even heard of. Coincidence? Maybe. But I'm not going back to find out. Makes me wonder about other things that might be going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post dexthom Posted September 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 22, 2021 I have everything that I wanted as a teenager, only 60 years later. I don't have to go to school or work. I get an allowance every month. I have my own pad. I don't have a curfew. I have a driver's license and my own car. The people I hang around with are not scared of getting pregnant and I don't have acne. Life is great. I changed my car horn to gunshot sounds. People get out of the way much faster now. Gone are the days when girls used to cook like their mothers. Now they drink like their fathers. I didn't make it to the gym today. That makes five years in a row. I decided to stop calling the bathroom "John" and renamed it the "Jim". I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning. Old age is coming at a really bad time. When I was a child I thought "nap time" was a punishment. Now it feels like a small vacation. The biggest lie I tell myself is... " I don't have to write that down, I'll remember it". I don't have gray hair... I have "wisdom highlights"! I'm just very wise. If God wanted me to touch my toes, He would've put them on my knees. Last year I joined a support group for procrastinators. We haven't met yet. Why do I have to press one for English when you're just going to transfer me to someone I can't understand anyway? Of course, I talk to myself. Sometimes I need expert advice. At my age "Getting Lucky" means walking into a room and remembering what I came In there for. I have more friends I should send this to, but right now I can't remember their names. Now, I'm wondering... did I send this to you, or did you send it to me? 3 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had one of those multi-tone musical horns on my first car, a Cortina Mk II, that went (you'll have to imagine this), "Da Dee Daa Daa", twice. The police, bless them, got the Government to ban them in case people mistook the sound for a siren. Really??? Spoilsports! I also connected a bull-horn to my Lambretta 125 scooter - it was fun to see people shift out of the way! 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
