Had project manager at previous job the same. Worked about 3" from his screen. He was the proof that a good project manager is worth their weight in gold though. Guy was absolutely brilliant.

It’s a Parks & Rec reference:

Either Slackware or Red Hat Linux 5, can’t remember. I do remember that when I first installed RH5 I used “Hick” for my language.

A couple of weeks ago I moved Firefox to one side. Window disappeared, but Firefox was still running “somewhere” on my desktop, but was not actually be rendered to the screen. Killing the process and relaunching just resulted in it be rendered to this weird black hole. Log out of gnome and log back in? Same! Reboot? Same!

Ended up deleting it’s config folder and re-attaching to Firefox sync in order to have it working again. No idea what went wrong, nor will I ever most likely.

That didn’t end well last time though

No need for poisoning. Where he was -30°C is normal at this time of year. Not giving him a coat would have been enough to kill him

Don’t care if they do it themselves or contract it out. They just need to be make sure it is done.

Then please do not be an arsehole landlord.

It is not the tennant’s responsibility to pay the mortgage on your flat. Nor should they return it to you as new.

What you rent it for is the market rate, which hopefully will cover your mortgage+expenses. It may not, that is your problem, not the tennant’s.

When the tenndnt moves out there will be changes and even damage. Just like your primary property will have changes and damage.

When the tennant highlights an issue, fix it NOW. They are paying you a lot of money and deserve a lot of service.

Nothing wrong with being a landlord. There is a problem with being a tosser.

The landlord/tennant relationship seems to be different to every other business relationship. The landlord always seem to think they are doing the tennant a service by allowing them care for the house. The reality is that the tennant is exchanging large sums of money for a service.

• Deep cleaning ready for the next tennant is the landlord’s problem, not the tennant.
• All maintenance of the infrastructure of the house (walls, water, heating, etc) is the landlord’s problem. This includes modernisation. No rental property in 2023 should be without structured cabling and modern electrics for example.
• The tennant is not there to pay the mortgage. The landlord may lose money at times and that is just the cost of doing business.

You’ve never used find have you? Let’s not even get started on the config file syntax for sendmail either.

I reckon a C130 could use it actually. The US Navy landed one on a carrier, which is probably shorter then this runway.

Edit: yes, USS Nimitz is 1/3 the length of this runway. C130 could land and take-off there with no issues.

Tape a bunch of drinking straws to the back of a Tonka truck. That’s basically what N Korea have done after all.

Not really, more like:

Poor guy claims to be able to afford nice things, waves a load of junk dragged from the local scrap yard in front of the local homeless guys claiming it is amazing.

Kodi is what you are looking for.

Run it on Pi 4 or a NUC. We use Disney+ and Netflix on ours, although Prime video does not work (although it should, I just have not made any effort yet).

You have basically just described Kodi.

For pulling out into the lane, it may have been called “taking primary”.

If the road is not wide enough to pass them safely, that is the best place to be. That way drivers cannot try and squeeze through. Obviously, I cannot speak for the precise road conditions where this happened, but it is legitimate in certain circumstances. Traffic calming is a good example, as it makes the lane too small for a safe overtake. Add in the fact that most cycle lanes in cities are more dangerous than the main carriageway and you can see why cyclists will take the prime quite often.

I know, but do TV shows to it?

I understand that it dynamic range is necessary and having none is terrible (look up “loudness wars” in the recording industry), but it seems TV shows are no longer mastered for a actual home consumption.

Back in the day, we would work on our nice studio monitors, switch to a pair of NS10s to make sure it would sound good on a cheap Hifi, but we would also make it sound good on something garbage. Sometimes (always in fact) this was to the detriment of how sound on good gear, but 99% of people use garbage.

No, rock band Bush.

When Bush were at the height of their success, I saw them in a little 300 person room. It was brilliant and we should appreciate Lemmy while it is in that state.

Until 6 months ago I had 2Mb/s (with a tailwind) DSL that had a consistent 10% packet loss.

I feel I have earned my 2Gb/s fibre!
