Gordon Ramsay is about as Scottish as Rod Stewart or Mel Gibson...or even Chris Pine since he played Robert DeBruis in Outlaw King... with a slightly better Scots accent than Mel had in Braveheart. Your birth parents taking a leak at Glasgow central whilst on a business trip doesn't qualify you for citizenship...unless you're a Maori, currently play for the New Zealand All blacks and we desperately want you to play for the Scottish rugby team ;)

I'm about as Scots as they come, right down to the blue skin...and I still don't like haggis or whisky...

Real Scottish people drink this...our other national drink :)

I remember that stuff from my time in Scotland. A flatmate let some dribble onto the floor. She used it as a hangover medicine, forgot about the spill, and when she checked again, it had left a hole in the carpet.*

*That was well over twenty years ago, and admittedly I was ed out of my pants, as well. It MIGHT have been a really nasty stain, but hey, a hole sounds way scarier, doesn't it...? ;)

Anyway, I LOVED Scotland. Great people, great beer. Germans tend to believe that Scots are misers . . . not true, in my experience. If you want to meet REALLY tight-fisted guys, go to Swabia. Those guys'll charge you for telling you the time of the day . . .

Do you know that you can't lift a nail with the cables that transport the electricity to a 1 tesla electromagnet ?

You don't even try to imagine that there could be anything else besides the gravitons in the pipes that makes them generate gravity. Chemical component ? Pressure ? Temperature ? Etc
Maybe they react like superconductors when you put them at room temperature = no more superconductor.
Or maybe the are like a fluorescent light fixture when you open it, the light don't flow from it anymore.
Or perhaps gravitons need to be in a strict laminar flow.
Or the gravitons can only generate gravity when in a magnetic field that that you generate in the grids.
Etc

It's only the "dumbest lore idea" when you don't spend 30 seconds on it...

I wonder how gravitons may flow inside the pipes. Can you explain me, I am confused.

Ooof. OA now shilling for a hardware producer.

Do i not like that!

To clarify, i love OA for his impartiality and always carefully constructed statements, careful to state when he's offering opinion or discussing fact.

But once money comes into play from specific sponsors, then all bets are off. I can't trust his opinion.

If it had been him simply bigging this up without the payment, that would have been fair enough. But once it becomes sponsored... nope. At least he is honest in saying it is sponsored content. There are those out there that don't declare the incentives and payments they get from corporations.

To be fair, Ant's had a connection with Tobii for some years like I mentioned, he's also one of the space game genres most respected reviewers with a large following, a fact that Tobii are no doubt aware of....it certainly encouraged me to go buy my Tobii 4C after seeing it in action with Elite thanks to Ant ;)

Umm... ok. I've spent another 30 seconds on it. Still sounds dumb.

I’ll support LittleAnt in this one: there’s nothing wrong with the concept that a material has “anti-gravity” properties when subjected to certain conditions. As long as said concept is internally consistent, alternate applications are adequately addressed, and has sufficient limitations that conveniently ignored when the plot demands it. Quite a few franchises have...

...

...

Oh, right...

This is Chris “don’t talk in our space ship, so the enemy in the other space ship won’t hear us” Roberts. The concept is doomed from the start! :D

OA has been doing sponsored videos for years now, including games, hardware, and previous Tobii Eyetracker models.

Agree with all those sentiments. Bet it is going to be a buggy slide show. We will see.

Those announcements were in the stations maybe a year ago. Wonder if they thought about rolling it out then, but was too buggy for even CIG.
