Hi there!
Is IPFS something your family and friends check on regularly? I don’t even know what it is.
Considering your reluctance to give any information about your assertion that such a project using it becomes useless, I’m not sure you know what it is either :P
Damn, you had a shot at Attorney General?
I keep reading it as Mark Gatiss and thinking Huh, strange choice but he seems a decent bloke
Probably the Tories
How is it gonna nag me to upgrade to Windows 11 when I don’t have a TPM?
I’d love to upgrade, the system is completely capable of running it, but because it doesn’t have a useless bit of hardware I can’t. Fuck em.
Oh my GOSH you did not just say FUCK, on MY internet?
Straight to hell!
PG Tips :-D
I know everyone goes on about Yorkshire Tea and sure I like it too, but I’ve been drinking PG Tips several times a day for my entire life, and I love it.
Proper tea that keeps England going!
Many many things, but one I’ve not seen touched on much is how LONG the lead up is.
Here, quite often they announce an election and then a few weeks later we have the election.
It doesn’t really make any sense to drag it out, that’s more than enough time to learn about the candidates, the current state of the various parties and their manifestos, and time for debates and discussions and such before polling day.
The idea that an election run up can go on for months and months and months feels silly/wasteful.
The difference I suspect is in the ease of which we have access to local polling stations within walking distance of our homes, and how short the queues are, if there are queues at all.
In the US these problems can be magnified, especially if everybody is trying to pile in to the stations (or just reach them) within the one hour they have before their 12 hour shift, etc.
I’m sorry, but at 15 you’re old enough to know that stabbing a stranger to death is wrong.
Yes? What do you think they’re implying, that we should try to rehabilitate criminals… but only if they’re still young?
I think (and forgive me if I’m wrong) they’re essentially saying that without a rehabilitory justice system, we’re just locking people up for life and creating a net drain on society. Financially, culturally… it’s a morale drain on our nation, even.
Not to mention that as a society we’re abandoning a person who, through a justice system built on rehabilitation and not some ye oldie Catholic concept of creating a punishing Hell on Earth, could actually flourish one day, adding to our society instead of taking from it.
A prison system designed to simply incarcerate, punish and torture those it touches will never offer anywhere near the same benefits to us as one that is designed to attempt to rehabilitate.
Not everybody can be rehabilitated, of course, but that’s like saying we shouldn’t try to treat cancer, because not everybody can be cured.
Good thing the “Feds” have zero jurisdiction in my country then. Feck em.
I say mould because I’m English and that’s just how it’s spelled here (we also pronounce it with a U, pronouncing it without the U as mold would be…strange).
Not an overly exciting response I know, but there you go :P
Ah yes, technology videos are really bad. Especially that Technology Connections guy, he’s the absolute worst.
And don’t even get me started on technology video reviews, tutorials, guides, educational materials and tech news. I only consume technology information in newspaper form. This new video thing just won’t catch on.
I looked up what that is,
It moves hot water from your water heater through your pipes and back again, keeping the water in the pipes hot and ready for use
While that sounds great from an end point perspective - my water would be hot straight from the tap - this would necessitate keeping the water in the pipes hot 24/7 so that it’d be ready at a moments notice at any time.
That would be SOOO much more expensive! Just imagine! So much energy/money lost keeping some pipes hot for the few times a day you need to use the hot tap.
Sounds like a great system for places like a hospital where on demand, correctly heated water throughout the building complex is a must, but those places have £££ to burn.
I do agree this is a problem though, I’ve sometimes wondered if there’s an instant electric heating system one can install under the sink (I know these exist), but rather than only heating water that way (which would use electricity and be WAY more expensive than the gas boiler), if it heated the water only when needed - and when it detects the incoming water is hot (as the boiler’s caught up) it can stop heating the water itself, you know?
A little initial heat burst for the first 15 seconds basically until the boiler catches up, that’d be great and not too big of an additional cost to run :-D
After your turn the water off in the shower but before you get out, use your hands to wipe off any standing water on your body. Maybe even give your legs a bit of a shake. This way, you won’t drip nearly as much when you get out, keeping the floor and your towel drier.
Are there people that don’t do this? Wouldn’t they absolutely soak their bathroom floor?
Heck, I do this and then use a small towel to get the rest of the initial water off while I’m stood in the shower, that way when I step out I’m no longer dripping wet, and my big main towel can do the rest of the work without needing to get soaked itself.
It can just be thrown on the bed to dry, no need to unfold it, and the smaller very wet towel is easier to find somewhere to hang up.
Anyway that’s my system, a little addition to your tip :-)
Okay, so… leave then, if you hate it so much?
Or are you lying and you actually love it, hmm Orby?
Love Bill, when I saw him live last here in Manchester he was trying some new material, hung a joke on the punchline using the word juxtaposition, and nobody laughed because they didn’t know what it meant xD
God, I felt embarrassed to realise the bar for education here is that low…
Fuckin A, he’s absolutely fantastic, can’t wait to see what he gets up to on SNW, which is a wonderful show that doesn’t take itself too seriously :-D
That guy is such a fecker, intentionally going around being a tosser wherever he goes and trying to give us all a basld name. God, I can’t stand that pillock :-(
This is fucking hilarious, best news I’ve heard in forever.
