If I’m sick in public and don’t know the cause (i.e. could be COVID), I’ll wear a surgical mask. If I’m in an environment where COVID/similar may be likely from others, I’ll wear an N95 mask.
I have boxes of each, left over from the coronalypse, so it makes sense to me.
Staggering that Myst is at that price. Sure, it’s great, but it was one of the first CDROM games and its gameplay reflects that.
Bananas. 30 minutes later it’s “hello fibre and potassium, time to visit the loo!” But seriously, there are so many great fruits.
Some from me: Blackberries are my hands-down favourite (and available everywhere in the wild in the UK autumn), raspberries, apples (so many varieties), navel oranges, mandarins, dragon fruit, watermelon, pears, rockmelon/cantaloupe, soft peaches (rare; most need a hammer and chisel), plums, damsons (in jam), and grapes.
Most level-headed reaction to the issue I’ve seen to date. Thanks for saying it.
If a company has had a decent record to date, I prefer to wait to see if they hang themselves with their own rope rather than rage quitting on insufficient information.
They’ve done some questionable things in the past that can be explained by over-zealous PMs and such, so I’ll wait to see how this plays out.
Great video. (For those unaware, the video’s title is just copying the one used by a UK newspaper when the game was released).
Parallax was one of my favourite C64 games, and Sensible Soccer and Cannon Fodder were my favourite Amiga 500 games. Just amazing.
Growing up outside the UK, I was completely unaware of the Daily Star’s manufactroversy and the RBL’s IP-related histrionics.
As someone once said about director’s cuts with films: they’re a double-dip scam.
If the cinema and home media releases were the same, they’re just trying to make you buy the same thing twice by pretending that this is what the director really wanted it to be. The distributor really likes your credit card.
Having said that, Taylor Swift has something like 28 versions of the same album out and her stans are going crazy for it, treating them like they’re Pokemon.
Whatever floats your boat. 🤷♂️ Don’t let this old dude yuck your yum.
Saw that in the cinema and went into real (medical) physical shock at the kerb-stomping scene. I’d never thought of or seen that before. Holy crap, it shook me for hours after as I warmed up again, etc.
I suppose you adapt, as you don’t have an alternative nor a frame of reference of what “normal” is?
Like people born without a limb, or those who discover they’re double-jointed or hyper-extensive/-flexible when their classmates react at their ability to touch their thumb to their wrist.
It’s definitely curious and worth understanding.
I had a girlfriend who was born without this connective tissue between her brain hemispheres.
Other than being weird, for reasons that could be explained myriad other ways, she was able to control each eye independently when she wanted.
Watching her watch TV and me while I walked past was… odd.
Road Runner, Tom & Jerry, Wacky Races… I’ll still watch them if I stumble upon them.
Meep meep beats Acme Inc every time.
When I’m outside my home network, I rely on Tracker Control (installed via F-Droid) for most traffic. And the usual uBlock Origin and such for my mobile Firefox browser.
I’m from Australia, but now live in England.
Cereal? I’ve not really eaten it since I was a kid. But I always preferred something plain - without sugar or such. Weet(a)bix, porridge, or - if I had no other choice - Special K.
I’ve always hated sugary stuff before noon. Don’t ask me why. Meanwhile, my friends would pile tablespoons of sugar on their sugary super-sugar sugar puffs.
These days, I have a single slice of toast with butter. With a cup of tea (milk, no sugar). Perfection.
There were a couple for me:
I was young when Alien came out, but my grandfather had it on VHS soon after. Ermagherd. Still one of my favourites films.
Xtro.
But there’s one I’ll never forget. A woman on a boat, with a metal bucket tied to her belly, with a heat source underneath it, that contained a rat. The rat would do anything to escape the heat… and the film showed the process. I was probably 10 at the time, and it’s an image/predicament I’ll never forget. No idea what the film was called.
Now I’m thinking the classic Windows troubleshooting method is used by LG…
Ha, definitely a small world. Mine’s a 55UF770V.
I think this really is the best solution to news sites.
I self-host FreshRSS, make good use of its filters, and I can chew through headlines and articles in no time using the web view on a PC or mobile web.
My 9 year old LG smart TV (WebOS, but never connected to the network) will occasionally “overlay” RGB colour artifacts over the entire screen. There’s no pattern of time, day, on duration, HDMI source, etc.
It just occasionally happens, probably once every month or two. Putting it into standby and back on again fixes it every time. 🤷🏻♂️
SLS (Soft Landing System) then Slackware. 30+ years and still enjoying the Linux ride…
There are a range of aphorisms about you being who you spend time with. I think it’s accurate.
Surround yourself with intelligent friends, in different domains of knowledge, and everyone’s lives are enriched.
Thanks, and for that Issue link. As you say, I expect it’s just nuking the cookie and everything related to it just disappears.
At least it’s on someone’s radar. :)
