I did a similar thing. I was talking to my friend through my headphones as I was getting ready to leave the house and put my phone in my hoodie pocket. Then I put my rain coat over my hoodie and left. 5 minutes later I freaked out when I couldn’t find my phone in my rain coat pocket. My friend reassured me that I must have it because I was still talking to her but I didn’t remember what I’d done until I took my rain coat off. Was a weird experience and one that made me realise how dependent I was on my phone.

The Kunts - Prince Andrew Is A Sweaty Nonce

As this song asks, why did Prince Andrew (or ultimately the British tax payer) pay Virginia Giuffre £12m if he didn’t do anything?

How long until Microsoft gets accused of stealing classified info?

My first thought

Damn right. I have 4 2s and 4 4s and it’s a sad day when I’ve been too lazy to do the dishes and only have 4s left to use.

Do you live in the UK?

18° during the day, 16° at night. I remember reading somewhere that getting down to 15° or lower for extended periods of time can cause problems for your house.

This is clearly before he met that leprechaun who tells him to burn things.

First attempt was Slackware, installed from a CD that came with a magazine because we didn’t have the internet in about 2001 or 2002. It worked for one glorious afternoon but I’d tried to dual boot with Windows and nuked that partition. Got into big trouble and was banned from the family computer for the rest of the summer. Couldn’t try again until a couple of years later when I got my very own laptop and paid my friend £5 to leave his PC on overnight downloading an ISO of dynebolic over dial up and burn it to a CD for me.

That was great but then I got my hands on a beefier PC and used Ubuntu thanks to the free CDs you could get in the mail. When I finally got a job and a broadband connection I switched to Mandriva, then Ubuntu again for a few years with most of that being Xubuntu and for like the last 10 years mostly Debian. I switched to Fedora a couple of times and tried a few others like MX Linux and Qubes. I also had a Pinebook Pro for a while running Manjaro ARM. I just always ended up going back to Debian. I can’t see myself ever changing distros again.

I’m from the UK and also have 25 days of paid leave with national holidays on top, totalling 32 days this year. I’m going to use 6 of them so I get the two weeks around Christmas off.

That head really creeped me out.

How far off?

Dale, you giblet hand

Hey no problem, aren’t we all. That is an incredible username by the way.

Why would you take that away from my comment? I meant Rastafari is derived from Christianity and uses cannabis in groundings which is the closest parallel to the sacrament in other Christian sects.

Did these sound like the actions of a man who had all he could eat?

Isn’t that basically Rastafari?

I’ve just spent six days on holiday with some of my extended family, all adults, staying in a hotel with my own room and en suite bathroom. It was great and we had a lot of fun but after less than a week I’m VERY happy to be back in my own home with the knowledge that it’ll just be me and my cat in the morning. Maybe some people would prefer to keep living with family into adulthood, maybe I would if I’d been used to it but as it stands I love my parents and siblings though the idea of living with them fills me with dread.
