The hottest temperature ever recorded on Earth is like 56.

That just includes nukes. Russia and China have both deployed weapons already.

What’s the original?

Sounds like maybe a Roald Dahl thing like Matilda.

Frankly I think the UK would like it if NI rejoined Ireland, it’d probably make things a lot simpler for everyone. There was a vote in the 70s and it was like 99% remain in the UK. The UK government has said that they’ll do a vote if it ever looked like the majority might want to rejoin but it’s not there right now. I know a few people from there and they agree with that.

I understand that a party that wants to reunify got voted into power there for the first time ever but I don’t think it was on any promise to reunify if you know what I mean, but I think things are slowly heading in that direction.

If the people of NI actually wanted to reunify I don’t know anyone in England who would have a problem with it, but the government won’t hand over any land if the majority of the people there want to remain part of the UK. Trump is just making his comments because he’s pissed that the UK wouldn’t help with the Epstein Wars.

Was it whacky or serious? Demon Headmaster?

I watched a documentary where a bird did that with its beak.

Hate to say it but some people like this. I know my Auntie will be thinking about all this shit now. She likes to enjoy the Christmas time and have everything ready by early November.

I probably have as many technical issues updating Linux as I do Windows.

I like a GUI updater but the Plasma Discover one is so shit, it errors almost every time. I keep it for updating the odd flatpak, etc, but I always have to update from the terminal first.

Is this just someone implying everyone can coexist?

If it wasn’t Google I’d probably have got one. I got a Polar Loop instead. It’s got quite a few negative reviews because when it first came out it had loads of problems but it’s fine now. It’s not as cheap but from a reputable EU company.

You’ve got some balls admitting to using Windows on Lemmy.

I found OVPN to be basically the same thing. They’ve actually proven in court that they have no way of logging customer activity.

I used to live on quite a large cul-de-sac and we knew most of the people, it was a really good community. Four or five times a year, and at Halloween and Christmas, we’d have street parties and everyone would come out and the kids would tear around and we’d put up tables with drinks and snacks which everyone would contribute to, though there was no pressure to pitch in. The WhatsApp group was really active and would get approx 30 messages per day, usually just people giving stuff away or asking where there kids were. My wife is really anxious about our daughter going missing usually but on that street she would come home and the kids would be playing and she’d jump out of the car and run off, and my wife was fine with it. There was always someone looking after them. We had to move because we wanted to be closer to the school, and we were renting and our landlord was a real problem, but we still get invited to the parties.

Our new cul-de-sac is smaller and it’s not the same but we regularly speak to about a third of the street and know the other third enough to say hello. People just don’t hang out on the street here like they used to at the old street, it’s more of a back garden place.

That’ll just look like the US government thinks they good, even if they’re not.

Slowroll is my daily. I like it because most distros preach some kind of extreme philosophy, like Arch is ultra bare, Ubuntu et al are super easy, others are bleeding edge or slow and stable. openSUSE is (mostly) absolutely middle-of-the-road with a get-the-job-done kind of attitude I guess it makes it somewhat forgettable but I need the OS to just get out of the way and let me use my computer.

I don’t get the appeal of Taco Bell. I tried it for the first time about ten years ago and it was dreadful. If it’s not healthy then it should be some kind of guilty pleasure, but the whole meal just tasted cheap and nasty.

Sit at home, stand at work. My daughter would reach through my legs and try to grab the stream so it’s just habit now.

Anything but Linux…

I don’t see why they don’t at least try it, it’s free.
