  • Wine Is Not an Emulator...

  • But only if its the woman who wants the divorce.... And then only if the man's income is above $1000000 otherwise they are poor and therefore should be in a labour camp/work for Amazon anyway. If they are same sex they go to the camp anyway.

    Not sure if /s is appropriate cos I am a "right ponder" and don't know how close to the truth I am...

  • Is VSS even a backup?

    Nope, not even close.

    I thought it just copies old revisions of files into that shadow area

    It just copies the deltas...

    Backups can use vss to get a static image of the volume (deltas are written to the shadow area, which isn't backed up, whilst the backup is running) it's a little different for vhdx files on VMs but basically the same.

    It's magic.... And often means that I don't have to restore lost files from backup, just view the old versions and grab a copy from there.

  • Excellent! Can't wait to find out what one looks like....

    No.... Wait.... :)

  • Not my problem... Whatever my SO/surviving descendants want is good by me.

  • it's because you guys speak British, not English!

    Fighting talk, sirrah! Fighting talk.... But yes, I guess.

    British English has been described as three languages dressed up in a trenchcoat that go around mugging other languages in dark alleys and stealing the best bits...

  • I would ask "why did you left ponders choose to change the pronunciation to zee?" - though given many USAian pronunciations are, apparently, closer to Elizabethan English than the current UK sounds I wouldn't like to guess which came first the zed or the zee....

  • I think "first lady" is referring to the absence of Meliana and omnipresence of Musk at Trump's side rather than saying Musk is/identifies as female.

    Still, as you say, an unwise choice of words because the phrase can be taken a couple of/a few ways.

  • Yeh cheese as cheeze is an odd one - especially considering the z is "zed" not "zee"... I guess cheese is where the idea of "zee" came from?

  • You seem like the sort of person that would pronounce the word often with a hard T,

    Not at all. Used to make fun of people who did.

    yet still pronounce the letter A as if it was an O.

    No - there are two sounds for A, bath (short, as in cat) for tub of usually hot water and Bath (long, as in car) for the city famous for its hot water. Never heard it like O - no, wait... RP has an O sounding A doesn't it? Lloyd Grossman was famous for his mangling of vowel sounds.

    ETA that distinction for the A sound is probably familial rather than regional; grew up with Geordie mam and Home counties dad.

  • I'm not sure where you're from, but the th is indeed silent in my area regarding the word 'clothes'. I've never heard it pronounced any different than 'close'.

    I'm not sure where you're from, the th in is always pronounced in my area regarding the word 'clothes'. I've never heard it pronounced the same as 'close'

    I will say that people got called out for pronouncing it the same as the spice 'cloves'.

    FWIW My area = rural southern UK.

  • Covfefe

  • With enough coffee he will soon become a banana....

  • Now why didn't I think of that? I must be worth money to someone as a card carrying V...

    /me off to grindr

  • /me arch user with 4 crotch goblins... Must be a cuck and not know it :(

  • Works for me if I click the thumbnail from 'all'; fails if I go to the post.

    Not just redgifs (iirc) either so probably a video thing rather than an NSFW related thing.

  • Arguments against... Wheelbarrows of troubles from Putin...

  • Planetary for me.

  • In the UK there is a split between England and Wales and Scotland. "southern" UK trespass is a civil offence. Scotland it is criminal.

    So in southern UK trespassers will most definitely not be prosecuted (the railway and power plant property are, iirc, the two exceptions because they have by-laws) but may be sued for damages, in Scotland they can be prosecuted.

  • Sorry to spoil the party but this comment was typed on Microsoft swift key 9.10.44.22, Huawei p20 pro, Voyager 2.17.1, emui 12.0.0

    No bother with swipes (don't usually use them), backspace, predictive text - though word suggestions only appear when I stop the swipe.

    Eta: Voyager is from Play Store.

  • Apart from having the flags the wrong way around, what's wrong?
