Yeah, I was being trite but still there is a reason. Idle doesn’t mean doing nothing. Perhaps it’s obscure, perhaps as impenetrable as some combination of machine state and number of milliseconds since 1970 being an even number. But you could try to track it down.

And sometimes the easiest thing is to reinstall from scratch.

Nothing crashes for no reason. Until you identify the reason, you’re employing stochastic problem solving.

When my daughter was 4, she named it the “Don’t know where go drawer” and that’s how we’ve referred to it since.

I also have a man drawer.

TIL you can increase engine power by mixing water into the fuel.

I can diagnose you with poor reading comprehension. Do you know what a simile is? You said “I experience XYZ …” and the commenter replied with “Sounds like ABC …” and then asked a bunch of clarifying questions. They didn’t diagnose you.

Now, I’ll allow you might have lumped this reply in with the others who did say you have some kind of anxiety, so fair enough. But consider the other people who replied with variations of “I experience the same thing and it’s due to my anxiety.” Are you unwilling to consider the possibility?

Correct—you’ll have lovely pure fumes with none of those nasty larger particulates.

Seriously, read up on what N95 filters out. It most certainly isn’t gaseous fumes, vapours, or VOCs. If you’re using them for things like paint spraying, good luck.

Also depends where you go. We paid £13 at Asda. Pays to shop around.

That has a little too much rhythm for me. I’d recommend some Fushitsusha

I hadn’t realised they came in different power levels. Or do they all come with the same power, but only unleash what you pay for?

My cousin was a sound engineer. His partner was known as 3 4. I don’t even recall her real name.

Dude, they changed the images, and added a pointless word. What do you want—effort?

It’s totally different. They put a grammatically incorrect ‘of’ in there.

That kind of thing is a ‘big of a problem’.

Pussy size announcement?

doesn’t realise that Gemini is a GPT

Comments anyway.

Maybe we could give the ‘everyone is happy’ setting another spin? Having lived this timeline, I feel we might have given up on that one a bit too soon…

Skill issue?

This is the way. 20 years ago, I got rid of an old Sony CRT that literally weighed as much as I did, and have had nothing but projectors since. Lots of complaints from the rest of the family around “it’s not bright enough”, and “it’s too complicated”, but hey ho.

I had a dive instructor who recommended snorting a bit of seawater if your nose was blocked and you couldn’t equalise. I’m not sure that’s good advice given the general contents of the sea, but it certainly worked :)

So I’m normally a command line fan and have used git there. But I’m also using sublimerge and honestly I find it fantastic for untangling a bunch of changes that need to be in several commits; being able to quickly scroll through all the changed files, expand & collapse the diffs, select files, hunks, and lines directly in the gui for staging, etc. I can’t see that being any faster / easier on the command line.
