Slowroll is my daily. I like it because most distros preach some kind of extreme philosophy, like Arch is ultra bare, Ubuntu et al are super easy, others are bleeding edge or slow and stable. openSUSE is (mostly) absolutely middle-of-the-road with a get-the-job-done kind of attitude I guess it makes it somewhat forgettable but I need the OS to just get out of the way and let me use my computer.

Only 33% want Binface to win? Even the Farage supports should want Binface to win.

It doesn’t mention the Quansah red card. Messi’s foul didn’t even get noticed, Balogun’s got overturned, and Quansah got a match ban, and then another match ban added on top.

I don’t get the appeal of Taco Bell. I tried it for the first time about ten years ago and it was dreadful. If it’s not healthy then it should be some kind of guilty pleasure, but the whole meal just tasted cheap and nasty.

Sit at home, stand at work. My daughter would reach through my legs and try to grab the stream so it’s just habit now.

I’m sorry, I seem to have confused you with my simple analogy, let me make it a bit easier. Imagine a professional racing car driver (professional means someone who’s so good they get paid to do it) is in a race and they really want to win. They see a chance to get ahead but it means driving through a playground full of kids, but they do it and they hit one. Now that driver didn’t hit the kid on purpose but they should have known that was likely to happen when they drove through the playground. Do you understand now?

When evaluating a reckless tackle they take a few things into account like speed (there was some of this), force (there was plenty of this), and control (there was none of this). These are literally the best players in the world, they’re expected to make decisions as to what is safe and what isn’t. Making sure you don’t seriously injure other players isn’t just good sportsmanship, it’s required. If they show they can’t do that they shouldn’t be playing, hence the red card and ban.

This exact thing just happened to an England player and his tackle wasn’t as bad and he got the ball (the latter usually being the difference between a fair tackle and a foul). Even the English commentators were saying he deserved the red. We’ll see what happens to him.

A lot of people saying he shouldn’t even have gotten a red card because he didn’t do it on purpose; it was a reckless tackle and the injury was potentially career ending. If a drunk driver kills a kid you don’t let them of with a slap on the wrist because it was an oopsie.

Someone said elsewhere that it’s going to be 200gb, would that even fit on a disc?

I remember a long time ago that the Facebook app used to have an auto-upload feature so every photo you took would just get posted to Facebook on its own.

I say “used to”, I’m assuming they got rid of it.

Anything but Linux…

I don’t see why they don’t at least try it, it’s free.

I use OVPN. They own their own hardware and are basically the same as Mullvad in how you manage the account. Their Linux GUI clients are broken in Wayland but you can use the terminal or save your to the network manager.

I’m paying for Disney+ ad free and they still show ads, they just have a skip button.

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.
