It does seem quite random, so I'm not sure the issue is exclusively slash related!

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.
