I bought one the day it came out in the UK. Back in those days they didn’t get released in all countries at the same time, there was nearly a year between Japan and the UK. I used to go through the backs of magazines staring at the adverts trying to find someone who would sell an import for a remotely reasonable price but they were inflated by like 2.5x.

This is probably only useful when you’re finding percentages of 50 or 100.

Discipline is something I’m okay with, I’m inattentive, not hyper-impulsive. I need help with my memory, context switching, and clarity of thought/speech. I was working on a project for a few months once and my boss sat me down in a meeting room and asked me to give him a briefing on everything so far; my brain completely locked up and I couldn’t find a single world. Discipline won’t fix that.

Thanks. The problem for me is that I’ve gone private so I’m paying approx £90 for each new medication. I can afford it but I’d rather not have to. As soon as I’m sorted the NHS will pick up the prescription costs.

Thanks. I think I’m going to ask for a top-up for early afternoon and if that doesn’t work I’ll ask to try non-stimulants.

I’m not really bothered about the side effects. If it was just that I could tolerate it but I don’t feel like there’s any improvement with the symptoms.

I take it at about 8:30 with my porridge at work and it wears off around 2/3pm.

I used to get this with Tumbleweed by the time I’ve finished my previous update.

I jest of course but I once had to update it after being away for a week and it had like 14 GB of updates. By the time it finished another 450 MB of updates were available.

I’ll probably play it at some point but I’ll wait for it to be on sale unless it turns out to be absolutely fucking amazing or something. V was fun but it wasn’t life changing or anything and I felt like anything I could really do in a GTA game I’d done by then, having played them since the very first one. I recently revisited V and I was bored in about 30 minutes despite not having played it for years

Given its foundations I just don’t see what it can do that I haven’t seen already.

I had no idea Camden Market was owned by somebody.

A few hours? No he isn’t. There has to be a leadership contest which will take weeks.

We’ve got 39 predicted in the Met Office app. Keep the sunlight out and get aircon for the bedroom. If you don’t have a/c the sleep naked with a thin blanket and a fan on you.

Keeping the pigeon population in check.

Why wouldn’t you just get an old Nokia for like £10? We see loads of these, they get released a you never hear from them again. You may like the idea but for most people you need stuff like a browser sometimes because it’s pretty much necessary in modern society.

This is a bit rich coming from the Linux community.

Off topic but I always thought Vista was pretty good. A lot of the stuff people hated was just change. Things like UAC are normal now, can you image how bad it would be if everything still ran as administrator? Vista basically threw itself on the grenade.

I use Linux by the way, don’t lynch me.

Finding them shouldn’t be so hard though. Surely we can make the search function better. If I search for a community I’d at least like to be greeted by the most active versions at the top. I’ve no idea how it ranks them right now.

I’m in the UK and only once have I been in a cinema where people were shouting the things. It was some pretty mediocre horror thing and there were some teenagers shouting jokes but it was only like two times. The cinema was pretty much empty and it was just us and them; I think they just found the film a bit boring (we certainly did).

I always thought those concierges in fancy hotels act a bit like that. I’ve heard that guests can show up with weird rich person problems and be like “I need three gold Ferraris by 9pm” and the concierges will have to make it happen.

I use Linux (though dual boot Windows for Fusion 360 and a lot of Windows at work), but if someone asks me about switching to Linux I don’t ram it down their throat. It’s good and all but it’s really not for everyone, and despite what people on here would have you think it’s certainly not as easy to use as Windows. You’re much more likely to run into a difficult problem and not know how to fix it though it’s changed a bit since you can just get Claude to take a look at things now. Windows can have annoyances but generally you can live with them.

Linux, I think, is for people who are quite technical and people who aren’t technical at all (and just need a web browser). For the people inbetween Linux can be a struggle. It’s improving incredibly quickly but the out-of-the-box experience is still pretty terrible (looking especially at KDE here).
