Truth or Consequences in New Mexico. That isn't even the weirdest place name in America.

I would literally be stopped on the side of the road at the sign saying 'Welcome To Truth Or Consequence' asking 'Is this a quiz?  If I answer wrong do hicks dressed in robes come after me?'

It was originally Hot Springs, New Mexico, but changed its name to Truth or Consequences in 1950 after the host of the radio quiz show Truth or Consequences, Ralph Edwards, announced that he would host the 10th anniversary of the show in the first town that renamed itself after the show. The name's stuck since.

I feel like it would be criminal for you to not give more information.

Btw I gave more information in the form of another pic, but it was removed because it was a little too naughty, though there was no genitalia.

 

Maybe you have super forum powers that would still enable you to see it.

I have no power here.

 

It's okay. I'm not that curious.

The mods (green) and admins (red) have access to the hidden/deleted pages of this thread. I think this thread alone has 20+ deleted/hidden pages especially around the end of 2016 for very sensational issues which caused the admins to amend the community standards.

Fixed it now. I didn't realized copying something from archive.org would be black text and not auto color for both day and night theme.

I almost got in trouble last year for backseat moderating someone which I'm not going to name. Phew! I thought they're going to ban hammer me that day.

The LMG Pilots have early one week access to LMG content before it hits YouTube with the exception of CES coverage which I think FPC is only hours earlier than YouTube which is expected. It's their alternative to Vessel which is now defunct and bought by Verizon.

Oh right. Yea no equal rights for you then. Just the purples.

 

Also isnt it backseat moderating to point out if peoples threads should be status updates instead? I get that a lot, so much that Im not even gonna post a thread for my cheap Ram's overclock results now.

 

Or I think I'll go ahead and make that thread now and see what happens.

Mods didnt actually complain about that, just members questioning if it should be a status update.

 

Well I did it now:

 

Its really not just a status update, its also like a full mini review of my cheapo ram.

 

Spoiler alert

 

I got to 3200 Mhz 16-16-32 2N on my £32 ram

I hate that empty feeling you get when you finish a series on Netflix you really enjoyed and binged. ?

[Force.Sensitive.Squirrel]

What did you finish?

Devilman Crybaby and Vampire Knight. If you saw my Netflix profile, it's flooded with anime recommendations I recently got into Black Mirror though.
