  • "Benny Hill owns Thames TV, he named it after his Thames van" (pronounced to rhyme with "frames").

  • I think the term "The Nethetlands" was coined after the Reformation and Counter-Reformation when the northern provinces ,which became Lutheran, separated from the southern provinces which remained Roman Catholic.

    The country was usually referred as "Holland" (a northern province) before then.

  • America was originally just the name of South America, then the English lazily coined the term "North America".

  • Why are you using multiple partitions ?

    Linux is not like Windows where you can run programs on any partition or inserted media ; you can only run executables on the primary boot partition. Its therefore pointless IMO to have more than one partition (plus a swap partition).

    Have you tried asking ChatGPT or Gemini ?

    This is what Bing said :

    Fixing "Gave up waiting for root device" error in Debian The error "Gave up waiting for root device" in Debian can be caused by missing modules or incorrect partition references. To fix this issue, you can follow these steps: Boot into a live session and list the UUIDs of all partitions using sudo blkid. Check the /etc/fstab file to ensure the correct UUID is listed for the root partition. If the UUID is missing or incorrect, replace it in the /etc/fstab file. If the error persists, you may need to rebuild the initramfs file by running sudo update-initramfs -u after installing the necessary modules with apt-get install lvm2 cryptsetup if you are using logical volumes. 1

    These steps should help you resolve the boot error and restore your system's functionality.

  • Shoulder pork, the lowest grade of pork available. Which is nowhere near the ribs.

  • But isn't that the point ?

    The Venezualan heavy sour crude needs a lot of refining which creates jobs (at least in the construction phase) in Louisiana.

    Of course the processing is spectacularly filthy and coastal land is expensive in the US so it would probably be built in Venezuela but it will be years before anyone finds that out.

  • Are they complaining that others recycle what theyre “supposed to” so they cant do the recycling themselves?

    The recycling industry is a cartel. Its basically owned by the mafia.

  • Before giving my verdict on this Wayland/sway experiment, let me explain that my experience on X11/i3 is really good. I don’t see any tearing or other artifacts or glitches in my day-to-day computer usage. I don’t use a compositor, so my input latency is really good

    But I thought X11 didn't have compositors ? Just a window manager.

  • No I know. The stuff made in the 1970s was utter garbage.

    Anything with moving parts, after about 6 weeks you'd hear a grinding noise then a snap and a puff of smoke.

  • Jump
  • Chuck em out the window and there's a thousand people behind them willing and able to take their place.

  • Biden increased sanctions on Venezuela.

    During the Venezuelan election, when the US-backed opposition leader said that he wouldn't give the oilfields back to the US, Biden had their financial support cut off and arrested opposition members living in the US.

    The Venezuelan policy is bipartisan.

  • Cyprus was in NATO.

  • Its not about oil its about Imperialism.

    They could have bought the oil for a fraction of the price.

    It's "All Green" for Taiwan reunification now.

  • yeah i dont know how i couldve survived without eigen vectors

  • Prior to LED torches, the flashlights on films were turned off, and the light was painted in later, as the beam wouldn't show up on film anyway. This is doubly true in that night scenes were filmed during the day and they just filmed through a grey filter.

  • It's not free you know.

    Yes, the software doesn't cost anything but the chipset is supplied by a single manufacturer Qualcomm and costs a bomb.

  • Its just Ubuntu with a theme.

    You have to do everything from the terminal anyway...

  • ....because a 5 year old leaving cognac and a biscotti might be a bit inappropriate ?
