Does so. I saw it run over my dogma.

Right in front of my eyes.

Karma takes to frigging long.

And there was I having been told by people that they were grab handles.

You live and learn.

If you're new to Linux, you won't stay with the distro anyone recommends for more than a month. It's a truism.

I'm not you. You're not me.

That said. Ubuntu isn't the Ubuntu of old. The real selling point is the zfs, but you have all the other NIH stuff like snap etc. I'm not a zfs fan but I appreciate that it's got a huge fan base.

One thing to say is that you don't have to have a one and only. I have at least two distros I use daily for workstation stuff. I use Fedora for typing and Arch for backups, debugging, rescue, and other fiddling about stuff (because Fedora gets in the way sometimes). Every distro has the same set of commands.

distrowatch.com is your friend.

Enjoy. See other reply.

Search on "radio dramas" in the bar regularly until "radio dramas" appears in the capsule shaped in the listings for you; you might want to try "BBC Radio" too. I'm a old fart Brit bought up in the golden era of BBC for context.

• I adore le Carré and there are quite a few read by him, some quite abridged. However, these will probably stop you going to sleep because you stay awake trying to guess what's actually happening.
• RD Wingfield
• the Whitehall 1212 series about the old Scotland Yard are half hour stories of the old type where the criminals always give themselves up and explain why they did it!
• Paul Temple (and ..)
• Miss Marple.. and related Agatha Christie
• Dorothy L Sayers (Lord Peter Wimsey)
• The trenchcoat PI with the classic American Private Investigator voice and demeanour. Damn. Can't remember the name. Philip Marlowe.
• there's a Nordic series too: Martin Beck.
• PD James.

I hope that's of some use. Don't hesitate to write if you listen to a good one i may have missed!

It's difficult to provide channels because YouTube takes channels down for some reason and they reappear under similar names or not at all.

Send them a few pennies if you can or at least like and subscribe.

• YouTube (radio drama channels) - there are some fantastic plays.
• podcasts using antennapod on F-Droid.

I'm not interested in pills, black or otherwise. Single 'l' - as in beer - maybe! Haha

Live and let live. If individuals are obviously not leading a compassionate life then keep away, but mass labelling an entire set of individuals that you do not know as incels - noting the hateful meaning of that word - is the very definition of bigotry.

I though we'd got rid of labelling people for their dating preferences when being lesbian, gay or bi stopped being particularly note-worthy in the glam-rock era. It's a shame that you're still behaving like those knuckle draggers of the 1970s with a different target.

You have given two options: aro or incel. There is an enormous third option which is unavailable to anyone but you, I guess.

Apparently I'm not allowed to use the word 'bigot' for a bigot. You don't define my language use.

That is very obviously not what anyone is saying. Not dating because you are not interested in dating is different than not dating because you're down on yourself and blame the world (and those of the gender you find attractive) for creating your situation.

Yes it is. People who are not into dating for that reason (aro) are explicitly being called incels by you in your reply to me. Anyone who isn't dating without being aro is an incel. You're a bigot.

You're the kind of person who would be calling a guy gay (but using the really derogatory terms, fag .. ) because he doesn't have a girlfriend in the last century.

I'm old and feel sorry for people who just want to be left alone for their own reasons. Why is this so called liberal - which in my mind means live and let live - baying-mob so much more vindictive and nasty than I could have ever imagined (rhetoric question).

It's not just UK, but Europe-wide soon. I imagine that the various (other) -eyes countries will be joining with similar legislation.

And then The law of unintended consequences will strike.

TIL all aromantic (aro) persons are misogynists (but not misandrists) by reading the comments.

The hair follicle may be the root cause of the scab in the first place. Acne, as a result of an infected follicle, may appear to heal with a scab but the infected material may still be in-situ.

As you know, the hair itself is dead past the growing root.

So plucking the dead hair will do nothing, unless you are lucky enough to take all the infected material with it.

Thank-you.

That's really well put.

I'd add, if I may, a small piece of wisdom from Muhammad Ali: "A man who views the world the same at fifty as he did at twenty has wasted thirty years of his life."

I take that as advice to have a willingness to re-evaluate one's views on a daily basis.

I'm curious. What is your definition of evil?

Voting this century.

The world sadly needs some of the stuff only antisocial nutters can provide. If the said nutter's gift to the world is good enough, the drama and discord that the nutter bequeaths will be forgotten and they will be given a free pass.

Hence the advice: never meet your heroes.

What things are and what the masses choose to call them, and use them for, are usually two different things.

Asking the masses to understand a complex subject for themselves, and ascribe to it appropriate nomenclature, when all they actually want is something that echoes what they already think with more eloquence is folly.

Reference: social media - a method to collect personal data from the masses to use against them, which they willingly and greedily supply, without recompense.
