Oh wow - I thought it was a cool pic through a hole maybe 2 feet tall. Then I saw the person! Absolute /peopleforscale moment. Always liked that subreddit, not sure if there’s a Lemmy equivalent.

And that’s the doves. The hawks are more like…

No pumpkins at our local supermarket, so we’re going with a pineapple and a watermelon. Have tried both before, and both work great!

I don’t think they were calling you the dimwit, definitely aimed at RFK I think.

Funny, I was going to say the referee - a great refereeing performance will rarely be noticeable.

I’d love to see more of the classic BBC 80s adaptation - same cast, same production style, just continuing on through the books (with, as you say, the usual changes and mutations as most of Adams’ work). Obviously impossible, but I like to dream.

Wow, that’s a great pic, really cool.

Some elements of this sound like the plot of Overdrawn at the Memory Bank, starring Raul Julia, and made famous by its appearance on Mystery Science Theatre 3000: https://youtu.be/2hBEh1JJ1E0

Thanks! Even all that sounds hideously complicated or danger-strewn, but I’ll try and have a look.

One thing I think I’d like to try is getting a dedicated external hard drive or SSD and running Linux entirely from that, so as not to mess with any of the main drives I already have. Or, better, get a separate machine altogether and keep an air gap between Windows and Linux, at least until I understand it a bit!

Exactly what I thought. I had more charge on .y phone, I’d photoshop those wee girls onto the landing.

Main reasons are:

• Work - I use my PC every day, all day, for work, so making OS level changes is something I’m not keen to do for fear of breaking something. I had meant to get a cheap laptop to practice Linux on, but time/money got in the way of that.
• Lack of knowledge - I’m far from a novice with computers, and am frequently the person people turn to for help, but I’ve never really used anything but Windows (Mac for a year, once, but only intermittently) and I know nothing about drive partitioning, etc.
• Software - I use Adobe products frequently, especially Photoshop and Première and while I know people say that there are alternatives, I don’t feel like I have the energy to start learning again with new programs.
• Time - I just don’t have the time to spend on all of the above.

All that said, I’m going to have to do something about it! Ugh.

I saw the end of Windows 10 coming up and decided to install linux in a dual boot

This is something I need to learn how to do - I’ve no idea how dual booting works, but I could do with learning. Did you have any good resources to help you, or did you already know how to do it?

I think any comedian who takes part loses all rights to ever complain about freedom of speech, or cancel culture, or whatever. Since they likely won’t have been kidnapped and murdered by bone saw.

Flushlights.

Yes, toilet illuminators, what of it?

While I do use steaming services for tv/movies and music, I’ve also got reasonably large collections of DVDs/BluRays, hard copy video games, books (never liked ebooks or even audio books) and most of all, vinyl records (over 1000 in my collection and ever -growing!)

Happy with having a mix of media, and increasingly keen to make sure I own things rather than only having them available through a stream, convenient though that is.

Probably getting more attention because of similar incidents recently in Poland and Romania.

Not the same instance, but there’s [email protected]

I wouldn’t put it here, because it wouldn’t really be a question, so would likely break community rules.

Was it spotted before you spotted it? Or did your spotting it spot it?

Seconded - I’ve been cutting my own hair for about 25 years now, must have saved a fortune. Still using the same clippers.

It’s clear you’ve given this a lot of thought 😁
