There is nothing wrong with using things that "just work" when you need them to.
Same reason people buy Toyota and Honda.
My life has enough chaos to handle, without starting my day faffing with Arch for no good reason.

It's reminding me of the 3rd party utility apps on the Apple Store.

They seem to have ditched "limited features for free" in favour of "nothing at all until you subscribe, first 7 days free"

I failed my TV test last year.

Accidentally held the channel change button for too long, ended up on babestation.

Instant end of the test.

You may be correct, but what you're doing is a bit like walking into spoons, and telling a larger lout that his Carling is pisswater.
Not necessarily wrong, but possibly not tactful.

I like to moovid, moovid.

Damn.
I didn't have "Raw Milk encouraged by the US govt. causes second pandemic in 5 years" on my bingo card for 2025.

It feels a bit like when a company has been taken over by a VC firm.
And you start finding out how they're going to suck the juice out, while all the management involved in the decision pretend it's all rosy.

And did you know if you were caught and you were Smoking crack,
McDonald's wouldn't even want to take you back
You could always just run for mayor of D.C.​

I'm looking forward to going over to Agile in the near future.
I was under the impression that you had to be electric only, but apparently you can have a standard gas tariff alongside. We just need to work out a few things like "how much could it cost us to make dinner during the peak?"

You take the green USB, it's Ventoy.
You click the wrong option in the list, and suddenly it's GParted.

Bumble bees do not produce large amounts of honey.
They keep enough food for a couple of days bad weather, but otherwise they don't overproduce at all.

One of HS2's huge benefits will be taking large amounts of passenger traffic off the ECML, freeing it up for more freight. Just gotta hope 2a gets un-cancelled...

(Which is why I get grumpy when headlines scream "it'll only save 30 minutes": It's not the only reason!)

VAT on meat you say...

And expensive. Imagine the cost of changing the entire road network over to use metric.

"Minister, we have a cunning way to lower the speed limits, and go metric, at the same time..."

But how will I get an "ooh"?!

I mean, we should be able to interact with mastodon via fedipub, right?

If we had a separate server, it might be messy, as then there are two sets of accounts.

I'd say the conservatives do a pretty bang up job treating disabled people badly.

You don't understand though, by being visionaries who disregard accepted margins of safety, they lowered the cost per (attempted) launch by almost 3%!

I'll keep an eye on the feddit.uk applications for grauniad@theguardian.com in that case!

And the SM57 for things you don't need a screen on.
