Has ran?

Got the attachment for shooting down police helicopters?

When I’m trying to focus I tend to listen to System of a Down or Rammstein. The rest of the time it tends to be pop music from the radio (usually BBC Radio 1) or lofi.

Now that I’m older I understand an awful lot of what they didn’t explain and am still baffled by stuff they said I’d understand.

Hah, that makes sense.

I’m well aware that there are many different ways to format numbers and currencies - that’s why I asked specifically about those that use the dollar sign.

Is there a country that uses the dollar sign that puts it after the number?

…but I enjoyed him in those movies!

I watched the Mario Bros movie as an adult a few years back and really enjoyed it. It was a fun take on the lore!

The only thing I felt was weak was Dennis Hopper. His performance had strong “I’m too good for this” vibes. Based on the other things I know him from, that’s wildly untrue - it should have been a great fit for him. Chew the scenery and be an arsehole - basically be the Deacon from Waterworld, or the villain from Speed!

I asked why: “we didn’t think about it”

I have Simon Pegg in Hot Fuzz ringing in my ears: “IT’S YOUR JOB!”

Probably distracted by all the side fumbling.

Interesting, I might need to look into them. I really dislike the interface!

OP asked for:

Just wanted hear about your opinion and experience, and if any of you care.

I found the level of security required for basic functionality to be a hindrance. For small personal projects it felt like squashing a fly with a sledgehammer. A remote repo that is too much hassle to use is functionally the same as not using one.

plus gitlab and sourcehut are so much better

I think I’ll just edit out a mention of the platform I moved to. I wasn’t advocating for it. To be a bit more constructive - what makes those alternatives better?

It’s one of several reasons I moved to Codeberg. The amount of faff wasn’t worth it for the few projects I fiddle with.

Something about Agatha Christie.

The toilets in my office are maintained by dedicated staff. The ones in my home are occasionally paid attention to by distracted volunteers.

I finally lost patience with almost every interaction on Reddit becoming a knife fight. No other platform I use(d) is like that. I’d post something, reply to something, or whatever and invariably someone would be needlessly aggressive and hostile. Any attempts to engage on anything beyond a surface level were either mocked or misunderstood (“it’s not that deep bro” - get out of here with that attitude). In general it was socially exhausting and I was tired of it.

I’ve not found that’s the case here, so this is what I use instead.

British children have notes.

I genuinely would like that. I do not want to use a web controlled by pro-advertiser policies or pearl-clutching daftness.

I’m very much of the opinion of “shit or get off the pot”. If you don’t want to swear, cool, don’t. Censoring it reminds me of all the exhausting nonsense and theatre related to “think of the children” (and more recently, “think of the advertisers”). None of that stuff does a lick of good for anyone, except perhaps the swindlers pushing it.
