Well, three days have passed and I didn’t think for a second I’d be into THAT of all things but, well, here we are. Thanks - appreciated.
- Comment on Hmm this "unisex" bathroom seems biased... 2 days ago:
The squat toilet is for pooping what the urinal is for wee. If you have really baggy trousers you don’t even need to undo your belt.

Understandable mistake, but wrong. Here’s a documentary about Bilbo Baggins that might help.

It’s beans. Remember beans?

I didn’t know what Dimmu Borgir is but since were talking about food I have now convinced myself it’s a Middle Eastern take on the cheeseburger and I will not be told otherwise.

Yeah, but it’s, like, super patchy and you keep having to redoing the captive portal bit.

- Comment on Microsoft doesn't understand the Fediverse 1 week ago:
I don’t know if you’re asking seriously, but if you are the answer is: Enterprise manageability and accountability. There’s a reason why every hospital, Fortune 500 corporate campus, military base, supermarket, distribution centre, etc, etc all run Windows workstations. Why would a ruthlessley profit-driven corporation buy expensive Windows licenses when Ubuntu is free? Because when you’re dealing with ten thousand workstation in 150 countries, each with own requirements for data protection, working time, employee rights, etc that not only need enforcing, but need to be audited, you can do all that with a single Windows server and a half-motivated sysadmin. And for everyone smaller than that, you still get access to those same tools for your school, office, factory, whatever on your fleet of twenty mismatched laptops from eight different vendors.
Nothing else comes close, and until it does nothing will change. They would all drop Windows in an instant if there was a sensible alternative.

Smart Character 1: “This waterfall provides fresh water for drinking and farming, a plentiful source of energy, ideal fishing grounds, and camouflages us from the predators senses such that we can talk and act freely.” Smart Character 2: “We must not live here.” Smart Character 1: “Of course not.”

Anyone else see the extremely revealing tube top at the front? No? Just me, then. Alrighty.

If you can’t make a broken family at home, store-bought is fine.
- Comment on A conundrum 1 week ago:
Most countries have fixed-rate mortgages. Most rental properties are also mortgaged. So a renter is paying for maintenance/insurance/tax costs, the landlord’s profits margin and the landlord’s mortgage.
- Comment on A conundrum 1 week ago:
Mortgage payments are almost universally lower than rent payments. With rent, you’re paying for upkeep, maintenance, administration, a profit margin and the landlord’s mortgage.

Yes, it is considered good protocol to include the header.

How do you improve this? Easy. You improve it the same way you improve the Sistine Chapel, There Will Come Soft Rains or Nick Offerman’s moustache: you leave it the fuck alone.

Which just makes this model all the more impressive.

It’s short for EnorMous Dash. Not to be confused with the ENormous Dash.

Put this on your desk with a spigot on the side, and the humidifier on the other side of the room. Congratulations: pipeless pipe.
- Comment on Applies to many things. Not just religion 2 weeks ago:
And how do you know this? Is it because someone said “this is true” and then someone else was then able to say “no it isn’t - and here’s the evidence”.

Or across an 8" ocean.

- Comment on Just a little bit more 2 weeks ago:
About fifteen years ago I was overtaking a truck on the motorway when one of its tyres exploded. Took out one of my side windows. The haulage company dealt with it well but I got the impression it wasn’t the first time they’d had to fix that specific issue.
