Bottom to top: Chips/fries Gravy Peas Sausage, but not like any of the ones you mentioned. They are very common here in uk fish and chip shops.

If i was stumbling home drunk at 3am this would be heavenly. I would not eat it at any other time.

You sent me down a wikipedia rabbit hole. Technically it is THE Metro. The precursor to the Underground was the Metropolitan Railway and the Underground still uses a lot of the old stations. All other metros are named after the Metropolitan Railway, which was the first of it’s kind.

Na, we got those too. Muons, tauons and neutrinos. But the universe unfortunately hasn’t imploded, meaning I have to go to work and pay taxes and shit.

I dunno man. That could lead to a gay arms race.

OP is either a time traveller or a liar. Hybrid theory came out 24th October 2000. That was around 23 years 11 months ago. If they were 15 at release then the oldest they could be right now is 38 years 11 months, not 40. Such brazen dishonesty.

I would have thought that after a while they would just become Numb to it

Seems fine to me. If you click on the result without hitting enter it copies it to your clipboard. Hitting enter sends the result to your register for further calculation or hitting escape clears it. This all seems fairly logical to me.

I assume it is the racial slur originally directed at Pakistanis but is now used against all brown people because racists can’t tell the difference. Not that it would make a difference if they could. Racists gonna racist.

Can confirm. Happened to me with my old laptop. Tried to upgrade it with some rescued RAM and it refused to use all of it. It would only use up to the laptops advertised max.

(Not the brand in question, but motherboards can definitely limit the RAM utilisation)

Just looked it up because I too was unsure of this. There is a Wall’s meats, but they are no longer related. Unilever owns Wall’s ice cream but they sold off Wall’s meats in 1994. The logos are different and the meats one only operates in the UK. So this map is useless for avoiding dodgy meatballs.

Modern washing machines auto-balance the load, which negates the need for the massive weights you get inside older washing machines for stability. The motors in older ones also have to work harder because of this since it is trying to spin an unbalanced drum. I also assume modern ones have more efficient brushless motors etc.

The load balancing thing definitely applies to the front loading washing machines we have here, no idea about top-loading.

And on this day, the term patriautism was coined

Woman has daughter. Woman marries man. Man and woman have son. I guess man and woman break up? Son has weekly visits to man, daughter of woman brings son to man. Or maybe son goes to boarding school or something 🤷‍♂️

That is the reasonable explanation. If you want to imagine the situation with a banjo soundtrack nobody is stopping you.

I’ve been running it for over 10 years now across a few different PCs and stability-wise has been a mixed bag for me.

First PC was unsurprisingly flaky. Nvidia optimus laptop where the optimus drivers were still being figured out for linux. So I was running the testing repo to get SOME semblance of usability. Plus a whole host of other issues.

Second PC was perfect, never had a single issue with stability the 7 or 8 years i used it. Still functions, but the graphics card was starting to struggle in games. So now it sits silent.

Latest one was perfect for a few years, but in the last few months has been getting weird. Some graphics driver/kernel issues (known bugs, now resolved). Plus other weirdness I thought was related but isn’t. Some applications just wouldn’t launch, or launched if I started them immediately after logging in, but not if i did anything else first. The plasma 6 update messed up a lot of stuff for me too. So just yesterday I reinstalled Arch to another SSD and symlinked some stuff and that has solved most of my issues. The thing is, it’s a bleeding edge rolling release distro. Sometimes things do break for me, but most of the time it’s fixed a few days later. What happened to me recently hasn’t been an issue since the old crappy laptop, and I am running a LOT of stuff from the AUR. So to summarise my essay, generally pretty stable lol.

Cinderella. One of the 2 “ugly stepsisters”.

If you are looking for a distro similar to Arch where you can compile everything from source you can just use Arch. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_build_system

Disclaimer: I have never used this feature so don’t know how easy it is to use, but I do use Arch which is how I know it exists. (I use Arch btw)

It’s not using Nvidia optimus technology is it? My old laptop had a GT 550M in an optimus configuration which made using linux tricky for quite a long time. Should be easier now i reckon though.

I think he is claiming that Hashicorp is a small company and that open source foundations are a ploy by big companies (like Amazon, I guess) to keep code available to them. That way they can benefit from the innovation of others. Then this will put off companies from developing open source since they don’t want these big companies to profit off their hard work.

This is of course all total bollocks and he is just a greedy C-suite douchebag who is butthurt that the open source community wants to continue using the open source software that they helped create.

No crashes for me, but my framerate was crap and it felt like there was a slight delay. Maybe there was no delay and it was just the framerate tricking my brain, but something was definitely off. Not unplayable, but definitely not an improvement for me.

My work uses slack. The screenshare doesn’t work with Wayland. Steam link/remote play doesn’t work with a Wayland host (at least it hasn’t every time i have tried it). For my gaming pc i only switch to X when i want to use the steam link and use Wayland the other 99.99% of the time because in general it is better. For work i exclusively run X. I started with Wayland, but then there were several occasions where i had to logout then login again switching to X just so i could share my screen which was a massive pain. I love Wayland, but i can totally understand people not wanting to switch until the tools they are used to (or are required to use) work properly under Wayland.
