Heh. Even funnier to me, as I’m currently reading Umberto Eco’s The Name of the Rose, which is set in an abbey that has monks who copy manuscripts.

What’s its heilage?

To think that thirty-so years ago it was jealousy that ired the West.

I’ll have to try Bachelor’s beans the next time I see them, as well as Lidl’s own when I’m near their store.

Now, what’s this thread about? Oh, yeah, pirating beans. That’s it. ;)

I find Heinz beans a bit watery. I prefer the supermarket own brands to Heinz… Branston’s are much better and tastier, with a thicker sauce. Still, YMMV and all that jazz.

Oh, I forgot an annoying trivial issue: the Heinz cans don’t stack up well (lock into place with one can on top of another).

I loved how Alien brought together horror and science fiction. If it didn’t do anything for you, as you admit that you’re not into horror, then fair enough.

Now, I’ll throw in here that I can’t abide Aliens. To me, it betrayed the horror elements of Alien, making it more akin to some dumb action movie with some added schmaltz thrown in. Unlike many, I actually consider Alien3 the better film than Aliens (certainly not Alien), in that it does try to bring back the horror elements and darkness in a different way. Still, I can understand why many deride that film. The Assembly Cut does make amends, and is possibly worth watching if you didn’t care about the theatrical version.

Waldo Jeffers tried that with unexpected consequences.

Should have made a detour to Pratt’s Bottom.

God Save the King/Queen wants a word.

The whole of The Ramones catalogue. Basically just one song split into parts.

Mandrake 8.2

I have fond memories of it, as it weaned me off Windows.

Edit: Actually, Knoppix was my first foray into Linux, but Mandrake was the first Linux distro that I actually installed.

Wish that was around when I moved from lemmy.world to lemm.ee some time ago. It would have saved me a bit of time. Nice that it’s there for the future, though.

Seinfeld has this covered:

Not that you should have to, but wouldn’t running Windows on a virtual machine thwart Peacock’s restrictions? Again, not that I think that that should justify Peacock’s restrictive stance.

Thought I was going to be the only one.

So does Beta, and it also has full extension support like Nightly.
