Doesn’t matter what version it is, the drop at 1:50 is an absolute banger

Sorry friend.

If your data was occupationally-sensitive or renders you vulnerable to financial ruination, it’s time to move to a recovery phase and see if modern data recovery specialists can work their voodoo.

Remember: never run experimental commands (you or a GenAI) in a live environment. See how it breaks things in a test environment first - if it shits itself, you may even get to learn how to fix it before running the instruction on live data.

Anecdote time! A good friend of mine drove his car to a mutual colleague’s place once because the wipers were about as much use as two chicken breasts on metal poles. He says to our colleague “Hey Foxy, I hear you’re good with cars, can you fix these wipers for me? The rubber seems to be in good nick but it’s not clearing anything”.

“Sure thing,” Foxy proudly announces, “I’ll get to work”.

Foxy strips the wipers down, one component at a time, before dusting his hands off and walking away.

“What’s going on, Foxy? The thing’s still in bits!” my pal says.

“No idea,” says Foxy, “not a fucking Scooby mate” and goes back inside, leaving his wipers and actuating motor in about fourteen pieces on the roadside.

So much for being good with cars.

It also sounds like the sorts of character names Sandy would use in their games - looks like an endless pool of NPC names for the future!

Yeah man.

I mean, they say you can’t outrun a bad diet.

It’s fun trying though!

I’m in the same boat bro. I can pan in miles and miles, but I’ve got all the upper body strength of a wet fart.

Keep going though bro. Today nine; legs tomorrow; ten on Tuesday. Same thing next week. Eleven, on Sunday, twelve on the following Tuesday.

If you want some advice that’s more than “do more, bro” then check out Shaun T’s Insanity or Focus T25. I loved those programmes and I developed arms and chest more than I ever did do half-arsing weights or resistance machines.

Nail it bro.

When this NPC blinks, throw a strong punch to get an instant knockdown.

( context )

Alright mate cheers, how was yours?

I’m finally thinking about knocking the TV Licence on the head.

It wasn’t the “loony left BBc” or “Tory Mouthpiece BBC”. The way I see it, if both camps are as incensed as the other then the BBC must be doing something right.

It wasn’t the ludicrous salaries some of the top celebs were on. I suppose they’re just market rate and someone will pay for them.

It’s not even the upcoming Trump defamation that we’ll end up bankrolling - it was a poor editorial decision, but the BBC have been fairly good at owning up to fuckups.

It’s the constant fucking trailers now for the Smeds and the Smoos on iPlayer. I only really use it to catch up on Reporting Scotland to check out the weather, and I’m fed up of having to skip the trailer. Every. Fucking. Time.

I only really paid it for this long because the BBC News and BBC Sport sites are fucking brilliant in fairness, and I rationalised it as paying my licence fee to keep those two sites going… but it’s taken a constant hammering of eight seconds trailers to really lose my rag.

First job of the new year. edit: fuck it, done from the end of the month.

That and Mallory Towers were staples in UK schools.

Most of the fun was telling the Raven to fuck off.

It was mostly black, to be fair!

…I’ll get my coat

fit like iday

nah min ahm a bit further up the road the now eh

far enough awa fae Aiberdeen to nae be there every day, but near enough to see abidy fan needs be.

Actually I’m a fake loon, but I have been up here nearly twenty years now so I’m going native slowly!

aye aye min, that’s an affa fine snow loon ken

Absolutely.

All that taxpayer money gone towards printing out black pages, that printer ink bill will bankrupt a nation.

I’m not a dentist (or any sort of medical professional in fact) and I make no such claims. I’m not quite sure where you got that idea.

I’m saying that there may be different techniques that are more prevalent in some parts of the world than others.

I wonder if it’s the modern equivalent of a hairdresser checking someone’s roots and asking “have you been to Turkey lately?”

European health tourism is a thing after all, and my understanding is that the budget option dental work or hair replacement therapy leaves telltale signs of treatment styles that generally come from that nature of procedure.

That, or they found a “Made In Slovenia” sticker on the back of one of your dentures 😂

Firstly: fuck the paywall/accountwall.

Secondly: that photo is beautiful. It looks like someone’s first attempt at driving an automatic car; or starting a manual when the last driver left it in gear 😂

I remember getting my Nokia N95 nearly twenty years ago, and it was fucking awesome being able to reveal the four media control buttons, and blindly control music in my headphones from my pocket while walking to work or on the bus or train.

As other commenters have said - I look at my old Ixus camera or LG Soul MP3 player or Nokia 3330 with fond nostalgia memories… but thank fuck I’m not lugging all that about now.

I’ve lucky enough to be able to fund my study while I’m in middle age.

I took up my degree course because I enjoyed computing and the theory behind it. I enjoy it for the most part, it’s engaging and intriguing. I’m getting some personal and academic development out of it even though it’s got fuck all to do with my “real” career.

I can see people stressed off their tits with it though - people who have a career pinned on success with the degree; people who went to uni because they felt it was just the next natural step; and people who did it because they were told to.

I feel genuinely gutted for them that a topic that brings so much learning and satisfaction can bring another so much stress and anxiety.

Shame.

Fuck yes.

I still use an inexpensive Contigo one I bought in the US for US$12 or something ten years ago. I don’t think it’s got much of the blue paint left on it now. Banging purchase.

UK squad: Oh hang on, looks like Asda do one similar over here for a tenner, just a tad smaller.

They can be bulky but it’s much better than actively buying disposable cups for use at home. Hell, I’ve even bought a takeaway coffee from a local chain in the afternoon, rinsed it out, and put my own coffee in it for that evening’s shift at work.

I mean, I can’t really talk, I’m still working away at undergrad level; and I’ve got all the social media clout of the average housebrick.

You are absolutely right, but how are you going to make a fire Twitter post if you can’t engineer a situation like this? 🤔
