I honestly have serious doubts as to whether I would still be alive to write this were it not for the miracle that is coffee, and I am not exaggerating. Many times at work I feel that the only thing stopping me from killing or...

Tornknee Yeah perhaps dead was a little too strong, but in my case I work in an industry where a momentary lapse of concentration could cost you your life and often work back to back shifts with very little sleep, 90+ hour weeks are not uncommon. So in that sense I...

My question is whether is it possible to take online profession (especially freelance writing) on a full-time basis, or just as a way to make side income, supplementing your full-time job. As you know it is hard to become...

Tornknee Definitely the only way to succeed is to work your arse of and be creating content constantly, and you're totally right unless you have the motivation to write and be submitting content daily you will never see a level of success great enough to support...

I do! I'm not saying everything as in from the beginning of time. But as I have experience from day one that I learn how to use the internet I am positively sure that I learned a lot from it. Whether it's free or with a price. I...

Tornknee Actually yeah I guess you're right, I was sorta thinking a bit too narrowly, you can't actually practice those physical skills at your computer but yeah you can totally learn how to perform them with the aid of your computer

For me I will never ever forget being 8 years old, staying up way later than I was supposed to, watching rage(Aussie music video program) and seeing Aphex Twin - Come to Daddy. The song and the clip scared the hell out of me but...

I was away from the internet for awhile and when I got back, limewire was gone, frostwire got lame, bearshare got an ugly layout, and my all-time favorite morpheus pretty much fell off the planet. So my question is, where are all...

Tornknee Yeah I'd agree torrents are pretty much the easiest and best way to download content these days, and isohunt and pirate bay are definitely the best torrent search engines. Kickass torrents is pretty good too

Tornknee You're more than welcome, I'm always happy to share films that I think are great, I think sharing culture is one of the best things our crazily technological world has allowed us.

I recently went to Japan and wandering around shibuya my friend and I stumbled onto a whale meat restaurant so we went in for a meal. Now I'll start by saying I am against whaling. I have done plenty of research on the topic, I...

Tornknee Haha pretty extreme position just to get back at the bleeding hearts but I totally do get annoyed by being berated by it, that's why I prefaced my post by saying that I've researched everything and I've heard every argument against it cause I knew that...

Tornknee I would never condemn anyone for eating it, when I say I am against whaling I'm more just against unsustainable practices, hunting stuff to extinction, if there were a sustainable way of procuring whale meat I would have absolutely no qualms. I agree on the...

Which things do you check before you plan a trip? Which things did you learn from your previous trips and do you keep those things in mind when you plan future trips? If I can visit the country without a visa I need to find out...

Tornknee Yeah I'm not against big tourist attractions, in fact I generally enjoy them they just don't make the top of my list of priorities. I think maybe it's just cause I kinda like just discovering stuff. It's just so cool to wander through a place you know nothing...

I am not against concerned neighbors, it’s because they are people who mind their community also such neighbors can help you in times of need. But what I don’t like about some neighbors is that some are very gossipy, and tries to...

Tornknee All I can say is if you're spending that much time and effort keeping tabs on your neighbours' movements and casting unfounded speculation on what those movements mean you must be very bored with your own life. Also I assume the things she theorised your...

Tornknee Yeah I watched dune recently and had the most vivid dune dream, complete with riding the worms and everything it was like all out war between the fremen and the offworlders, I was sorta like part of this small rogue group just trying to survive the war but the...

Tornknee I really don't think you need to worry about the human race ceasing to exist. For starters the planet is overpopulated as it is and amongst the seven billion people of the world there will always be more than enough heteros to keep the population going. Also...

I recently finished haruki murakami's 1Q84 and have to say I have not read such engaging and well written fiction in years. Such a strong story, wicked high concept stuff. I was just wondering has anyone else read it and if so can...

Tornknee Yeah I think it's only been out for a year or so. It was actually the first murakami I've read, really need to pick up some up. Can you suggest any of his others to check out? Will probably end up reading all his work eventually, 1Q84 was that good but yeah...
