Hi I'm Wolfram, last time we met I was Jane....

#blessed

The trick is to get up to mid thigh, then say fuckit and just dive in, inching in sucks.

My 4 month old just did the world's first quintuple back flip on a BMX. He is talking with red bull about sponsorship.

I think it is embarrassment; they know what is happening to the US. They don't want any part in perpetuating the cycle.

I see that as a win

We could do what other countries do, and have a stand down time after leaving parliament before allowing ex-ministers to go into the lobbying sector. Even the US does this....no idea why we don't.

We absolutely can require that FB/twitter et al, either vacate the country or comply with out laws.

You don't do a #3, a #3 is when your kid does a massive high pressure shit, it squirts up out the back of the nappy and into their clothes. Just hope it doesn't happen indoors, or in the car or really anywhere.

If we ditch the 5% threshold, the lowest you can go is the "natural" threshold. If we stuck with a 120 seat house that is ~0.83%.

You then either ignore the votes that were for parties below the threshold; or change the voting system to STV or similar.

I would be in favor of dropping the 5% to say 2-2.5% and bringing in some form of ranked choice, along with lowering the voting age. All this with upping (significantly) the civics education in schools, to get more people voting.

We could do something, like banning algorithmic social media. I don't think banning the platforms would fly, but getting rid of the echo chambers and filter bubbles, this would go a long way to reducing the polarization in society.

Ban money in politics, only individual people can donate, capped at $500 per year. No political adverts from non-political parties. All donations to be on the public record.

So if Vance takes over, will you then have a ottoman empire?

Make Winston first again.

Sorry, I'm 100% sure you are a much better person than Musk.

Friends can be hard.

I saw your comment and though of this meme I saw in a thread about the Signal group chat about bombing people in Yemen.

30+ years of "no rates raises" council campaigns, which causes kicking the can down the road on infrastructure maintenance and upgrades....

We have had massive rates raises in the last round, to help pay for the water upgrades that we are seeing going in....but ffs the bump was huge.

Just my home directory. Still a lot of flies, nearly a million.

Once the index was built, the search is crazy fast.

But sshfs also works across the internet....quick and dirty file access from anywhere in the world. If you can SSH to a machine, you can get a mountable file system.

Also samba can't distinguish between /foo/ and /Foo/ which is a pretty small issue.... except when it isn't.

I used to run Ubuntu, but started liking it less and less.

After jumping around for a while, I settled on Mint. It is really nice, stable and easy to use for beginners, but everything is there for advanced users also.

There are the great walks

But then there are places like Sanctuary mountain

So many options, it really depends on what you want.
