  • You didn't answer the question that we all have - do the candies actually taste like the Gros Michel?

  • Dual Canadian British citizens scrambling under new passport rules

    Jump

  • That doesn't seem to be true? Their site says you can use another passport as verification if renewing - https://www.gov.uk/renew-adult-passport/renew or if applying you need a little more https://www.gov.uk/apply-first-adult-passport/what-documents-you-need-to-apply

    I'm about to have to go through this now. I'm a dual citizen but I've never lived over there, and have a trip planned to visit family later this year. I let my British passport expire over 10 years ago because I never use it.

    More details here too https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/overseas-passport-supporting-documents-group-3/applying-for-a-passport-from-outside-the-uk-supporting-documents-group-3-accessible The supporting docs in table A are definitely doable without living in the UK, if you even need to use that table. Their site is unclear and contradictory unfortunately between that last link and the earlier ones

  • I pinged you in matrix, but feel free to poke me if you've got any technical questions! Seeing all the NSFW content start to show up everywhere else really shows the need for a dedicated instance IMHO.

  • Star Trek: Voyager - Across the Unknown | Launch Trailer | Coming February 18!

    Jump

  • I'm definitely intrigued. Most of the early demo reviews hated on it for being text heavy instead of voice actors, so I'm keen to see some updated reviews.

  • Can't write AOC without CIA

    Jump

  • Wheres the evidence he believes the same things as his dad?

    My dad believed in chem trails and secret alien power plants underneath the pyramids, I don't.

  • Kate Mulgrew Defends ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ And Captain Ake From “Disrespectful” Online Attacks

    Jump

  • Yeah you're wrong. I could barely make it through a few episodes of SGU, but STA is much better.

  • Kate Mulgrew Defends ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ And Captain Ake From “Disrespectful” Online Attacks

    Jump

  • I found Discovery the same way, it's the only trek series I couldn't make it through.

    Picard suffered from bad writing unfortunately. Season 3 cashed in on nostalgia and I appreciate it for that, but the first 2 seasons were very meh.

    Starfleet academy is great though, IF you're ok with a show targeted to young adults. If you're not ok with that, the episodes will be very hit and miss. The most recent episode was fantastic, once you get through the 3 minute long sex scene it opened with. Even that does serve a purpose though to show the bond that's developed between two chars.

  • Kate Mulgrew Defends ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ And Captain Ake From “Disrespectful” Online Attacks

    Jump

  • Which I find kinda surprising, since I would call SNW fairly "woke" if you actually pay attention to the show. Maybe it's just because it's a male captain set in the TOS era, and it's a more traditional trek show?

  • Is there a way to make money as someone with autism?

    Jump

  • I was just asking a question? In fact almost the exact question you answered? Your comment would just be constructive instead of rude without the first two sentences. Thanks for the info anyways.

    Despite their best intentions they can't protect their child forever. They need to have an honest discussion together so op understands why, but I still feel it's reasonable to try and do something to grow themselves. It's not going to get easier as the family gets older and the parents eventually can no longer work themselves.

  • Is there a way to make money as someone with autism?

    Jump

  • Why won't your parents let you get a job? You're gonna need to be an adult at some point, over sheltering you is just going to hurt you more in the long run.

  • Notice: failed container health check for example.org

    Jump

  • Why are you relying on example.com as a health check? To be really blunt about it, if you're using it then you've misconfigured your stuff.

    From their docs:

    These web services are provided as best effort, but are not designed to support production applications. While incidental traffic for incorrectly configured applications is expected, please do not design applications that require the example domains to have operating HTTP service.

  • sysadmin community on different instances

    Jump

  • Many (maybe most?) of us just use the all feed, and block the communities we don't want to see. That makes the specific community / instance a lot less important than reddit.

  • Windows Is Falling Apart, And Microsoft Is Panicking

    Jump

  • Very well might be, but the end product is nothing like RHEL. I know they host more Linux than Windows on Azure.

  • Windows Is Falling Apart, And Microsoft Is Panicking

    Jump

  • I don't know what you mean by Linux spin. Are you thinking of hyperv?

  • Windows Is Falling Apart, And Microsoft Is Panicking

    Jump

  • Huh? RHEL isn't a cloud. Azure is Microsoft's version of aws / gcp

  • Multiplayer car games?

    Jump

  • I like the one where you stick the word anal in front of the names of RVs.
