There's no "slave" convention in git so I'm not sure how it can be considered an issue (I get that drives being master and slave is a bit icky). But then, what is it a master of?

As others have said, "trunk" would have been a more sensible replacement.

Not sure, could be "and, um, yeah" when my sentence trails off because I've forgotten what I was talking about halfway through the sentence.

Mostly it's my own voice for comments 🙂, maybe a slight inflection. I don't usually go overboard on the voices unless it's somebody I know, or occasionally characters in books.

Reading in my head certainly takes the same amount of time as reading out loud (occasionally with different voices for characters, as somebody else said).

If I read without doing that it's a lot quicker but it doesn't go in and I have to re-read it. My mind starts chatting away about something else rather than concentrating on the book.

I have prosopagnosia (facial blindness) too. Unless it's somebody I know really well, I will struggle to recognise them - especially if they are not where I'd expect them to be, or they've done something with their hair. I'm better with voices - if they speak I'll usually work out who they are straight away.

There was a bit of discussion about this on a podcast I listen to (Adrift) earlier in the year.

My mind is basically me taking to myself. As I write this I'm speaking all the words in my head. As I read it back I'm reading all the words in my head.

I believe there's a school of thought that you shouldn't read the words to yourself when you are reading, bit I have to do that otherwise it doesn't go in. I can read a page without the words being spoken in my head but I will then have no idea what any of the page said, v and have to re-read it. Same if my mind wanders while reading - anything I read whilst my internal voice is talking about something else will not go in.

I can't shut it up. If I think about nothing, my internal voice will literally be saying "I need to think about nothing. I should empty my mind. How do you think about nothing?".

I can sort of see images, but they are usually vague, I can't really see them as such. If I'm reading and picturing something in my mind they can be a bit clearer though. I'm probably a 3.5-4 on that scale.

I have to have covers, absolutely hate my back being uncovered if nothing else. Some sort of blanket or sheet is essential to get to sleep.

No, I think I requested this a while back but @kuro_neko@lemmy.ca must be taking a break as I've not seen any updates for a couple of months.

I don't know if the rest of that series is available, but there you go.

"If" doing quite a bit of the heavy lifting in that sentence.

6, always 6.

Ostensibly

I vaguely recall the decimal ha'penny. I am old.

No, because the £ didn't change, it was just divided up differently.

A pre-decimal £ is the same as a decimal £.

You could technically still pay in Shillings until they redesigned the 5p.

The Bedfordshire Clanger!

£2.50

I've just given this a quick try in Windows (sorry, didn't want to infect Linux with MS stuff) and... it's pretty good.

I might install it in Linux although I'll probably still use nano.

It's like that Trump watch with the T missing. "I was expecting something with the integrity of the President". Yeah, you got that.

What always disturbs me, and it seems worryingly prevalent on The Apprentice, is drawn-on eyebrows.
