  • Wow, that's a let down ... I guess they were going for a contemporary look?

  • This brings back memories ... then I got a Thinkpad and just take it for granted that everything's fine, lol

  • Dust buildup is normal, especially if someone has pets. Because of your allergy you probably keep the area around your computer cleaner than most people!

    In the land before time I did PC maintenance and sometimes you could remove dust from under a CPU fan in one single piece because it was matted together ... nasty, but very satisfying when you've finished cleaning and the computer just whirrs happily afterwards :-)

  • Yeah, I'm a volunteer firefighter in Catalonia, we only really do maintenance work or fill up gopher roles and damping down in the event of a serious fire ... proper firefighting is in no way fun, people need to be paid for it (and you can't just drag anyone in off the street to do it, lots of my fellow volunteers can't hold a hose for long and would panic in an emergency ... that's not a criticism, it's just how people are)

  • It's always nice to see people finding positivity in art and wanting to share it :-)

    For film deconstructions of the effects of the summer of love, how do you view Born to be Wild and Vanishing Point?

  • Midwife toads sound like a fire alarm when the battery is running down, get a bunch together and they're really fucking loud ... I imagine a bunch of frogs might be similar

  • Ok then, you don't think wanking someone off in from of kids isn't a bit more than "icky"?

  • You don't thing wanking people off in front of kids is a wee bit more than "problematic"?

  • Shame we couldn't keep hardcore survivor Molly, could have been fun ( or traumatic)

  • People, on a large scale, will never do that. That's not in human nature, and thinking everyone will willingly stop driving and buying meat is just the least productive kind of dreaming.

    Those​ in charge will never change either, unless forced.

  • Well, more meat-like substances. They're meat adjacent, just within a normal human budget.

  • Twice as many expenses for the same income ...?

  • Quite possibly, along with another commenter who said ICE cars start to give problems at 70,000 miles.

    Literally yesterday I was joking that my British friend's 2005 Seat Leon is just about broken in since it passed 250,000 miles. Still runs like clockwork apparently.

  • Yeah!

    It's more like pootling

  • I'm in Europe, we usually expect ICE cars to last 200,000km at least. My Dad's Peugeot had over 500,000km on it when he sold it, his 1991 Toyota's mileage is unknown since the Speedo cable broke over 10 years ago when it had 250,000km on it.

    I got my little Clio cheaply because it needed the head gasket, fixing that took me one day and cost under 100€ to fix, and it's still running smooth 3 years and 50,000km later.

    To throw things away just because they need a little repair seems terribly wasteful to me.

  • Wow. Like, I can buy a cheap Chinese motorcycle and it'll come with 3 years warranty, yet Buick can't manage 4

  • Not sure what's going on with the back wheel, but I do want to read this Manga now ...
