Try getting arthritis meds in a child proof container! Almost impossible to open even if your hands do work properly. Repeatedly ask to put in normal screw cap bottles but they never listen.

I also keep a windows boot around just for updating my tomtom wirh map updates. Tried under Linux but the mydrive software just will not work. If anyone knows how to update a tomtom rider 400 under Linux, let me know.

Attribution please. Is this a Tom Gauld cartoon?

And don’t forget the rootkit debacle.

I’m on ps5 but the upcoming psn price hike is putting me off after reluctantly paying it the last 2 years. A steam console (I think I saw ‘leaked’ recently) sounds ok if it can play GOG/owned stuff too.

Agreed. UK’s NHS is a poor shadow of its former glory due to Tory/right cuts and desperation to privatise. And just a decade ago the (IMHO awesome) 2012 Olympic opening ceremony showing our thanks and respect… 😭

There are so many more types of biscuits.

It’s casualuk after all.

Ignoring people!

Grumpy, Doc, Sneezy, I definitely forget the rest though.

In the UK you might say a sheepish hello to the person(s) next to you in the waiting room but never to the whole room, that would be… uncomfortable. It might also prompt a conversation when you just want to ignore the world until you’re called.

Thanks for your helpful comments. I’ll give it a go and hope I can stick with it. I did read the first 6 books before I gave up as that could have been half the length with a good editor. What is it with these ‘blockbuster’ adaptations that can’t stick to the story or characters or pacing. The wooden acting/script doesn’t help at times either. Not saying I could do better but when you’re told they spent so many millions on it… Prime’s LOTR suffered a similar fate and I only managed 3 episodes of that.

Has anyone watched ep 1-3 yet? How was it, considering series 1 was a bit underwhelming I thought.

Is that just swinging your arms more or your torso as well? One video I watched recently said too much arm swing can also be counter productive so it’s a fine line it seems.

I use the nose-breathe-in-for-3-steps and mouth-breathe-out-for-2-steps which seems to work for me. If I find myself struggling and notice I’m not doing this then starting seems to calm my breathing again. I can just about do it without thinking now. I definitely struggle with the leg stamina thing though. Only been running regularly (3x week) for 8 months.

Blackbird (2007 Honda CBR 1100 XX). Had it from a year old and can’t find anything as good to replace it! Waiting for Mr Honda to come out with a proper replacement, not that VFR 12 letdown.

Well, I just went out and tried to follow the guidance, but only 1st and 2nd gear at high revs seemed even remotely licence retaining speeds! 🙄 Good fun though, thanks F9.

Yep, UK are trying to do the same, also Conservatives! 👎

Hey, there’s always double-clicking the icon too. Now that is exhausting.

Wickes is still going strong I believe. I’ve not heard anything to the contrary!

More of a binary chop really.

SDL is Simple Direct-media Layer (I think) and is a low level c++ frame work for writing games and multimedia applications. I wrote everything from the main loop to sprite animation classes, smoothing, serialisation, menus etc. etc. Great fun to have total control but also a pain, so Godot is a joy though I might investigate c++ to supplement gdscript as I’m not really into the python style (yet).
