The pharmacist at my local Tesco once told me I was buying paramol too often. It had been at least a year since I last bought it.

This told me that:

A. They’re using facial recognition to track purchases

B. There’s either not enough info provided by it or enough training on it’s use

Based on what data?

We had an ad that actually said “piracy funds terrorism” here in the UK. Made me laugh my arse off.

Exactly. Men having sex with women is gay as hell.

Would have been safer if they’d put that thing in the boot, because it looks super pissed off about being on the back seat.

As much as I like electric cars this could be done with pretty much any petrol or diesel car with an inverter.

Yea I meant like chemically performance enhanced.

Yea like that’s the competition, to see who can make the best performance enhancing drugs.

I think there should also be the “Ultra” Olympics where each country puts forward their most highly performance enhanced athletes.

First experience was trying to dual boot Slackware and Windows ME on the family computer in 2003 after getting a magazine with the install disc on. Nuked the Windows install and got banned from the family PC for a while.

Then I got my own laptop with Windows 98 on it at 18. I’d just found dyne:bolic which was one of the first Linux live CDs if I recall correctly and was designed to work on older hardware (this was mid 00s). That machine served me well for 2 or 3 years.

A few years of bouncing between various distros and Windows followed. Eventually I made the full switch in about 2012 first to Ubuntu then Debian which I’ve been using for the last 5 years or so.

What a book! Loved it as a kid

I don’t want to sound arrogant but is reading a few paragraphs then copying and pasting 3 different commands into a terminal really that difficult?

It will make life easier in the long run as having a repo added will update the software with sudo apt upgrade in the future.

Fairly certain no country is “100% white”.

Yea I have a 32 bit machine from 2007.

This was a plot device in Superman 2

I’ve always kept a 32 bit Debian ISO on my Ventoy drive just in case.

Would be a shame if they stopped supporting it but I’d put dyne:bolic on my drive which was the first distro I ever used.

Set up a bunch of self hosted apps on my pi 4 (Nextcloud is erm, next) to completely end my reliance on public cloud.

Use the Grocy instance I already have on that pi to plan recipes and eat healthy (after gorging myself like a drunken pig between now and new year’s day.)

This weekend’s job though, set up a quick ‘n’ dirty torrent box/ NAS with an old laptop for festive movie watching before building a better solution out of an old desktop once I have the cash sometime around summer.

No. But when I do it takes forever. Cleaning my air fryer takes a couple of minutes once a week.

I live alone. I can fit the same amount of stuff I would cook in my oven into my air fryer and cook it better with less electricity and less clean up.
