Ebooks wherever possible - except, perhaps, for reference books. I simply find the experience of reading an ebook on something like a kindle so much more pleasant than reading a print book. So much so that I really hate reading print books now.

Shredded Wheat - UK

My children playing some sort of game in the next room.

I think there's just something very pleasant and comforting about drinking a hot drink. Plus it tastes nice.

I honestly think Bibliophile is used commonly enough that most people would understand it. Not quite as much as Audiophile, but you do hear it. It also sounds, info, much better than Bookphile.

Just a reboot. There's an EFI menu listing all the available images - I keep a couple of old ones around to roll back to in case of problems - and I just select the one I want.

As others have pointed out - there are plenty of things in the song that actually are ironic. So what's ironic is people keep complaining about the lack of irony in a song called "Ironic" when it's actually got irony in it.

I have a stateless and immutable system based on arch images that get built every night. I also have two different images for the same machine: one for general use and one optimised for music production. I just rebooted into the other image and I'm set.

I have a weird body where most of my fat is on my torso/face and my limbs are very lean. This means that I see results in my arms quite quickly - they start to develop nicely after not too long. It also means I can train for a long time and see very little benefit in my chest/back/abs because they are covered in stubborn fat.

I've seen significant results in terms of strength gain, without those muscles appearing very different at all.

The most consistent thing about English is how inconsistent it is!

Which is to be expected when you have a Germanic language that is so heavily influenced by Latin languages.

Interested to hear you use it with Nvidia - I was led to understand it didn't play well with Nvidia.

I'm going to give it a try and see how it goes with my card.

I know what you mean. I met Stephen Jones ( former Wales fly half, not opinionated rugby journo) once and was amazed at how wide he was. He always looked fairly normal on the telly next to all those giants, but there was plenty of him!

Incident in question didn't happen in the US.

That is cool. Wales are the team I love to hate, but I'd still have been starstruck and chuffed to bits!

I can't help but wonder why you bought this monitor since you're clearly not interested in many of its features?

Am I missing something - doesn't bash have tab completion or of the box?

I do now.

3 out of 4 kids are away for the weekend. So I will mostly be chilling with my wife and remaining child. There is also, of course, Super Saturday in this year's Six Nations rugby championship tomorrow. That'll be a good day.

A mandola. I already play guitar and bass guitar and I used to own a mandolin, but I really quite fancy learning a mandola.
