11·2 days agoTIL I am not a one. I never chose XP; I didn’t ever install that cartoonish bloatfest over win2k on my home pc.
Before 1900s puritanism ,lots of 'em were fucked on opiates too.

2·10 days agoThere’s some classic oligopoly/game theory stuff about these sort of tactics. Should be a breach of competition law. Competition law is a joke. Free market for thee not for me.
It it ok to eat raw venom glands?
Anyone pushed by youtube algorithm has to be suspect.
I hate universities as much as anyone, but she’s obviously pushing some agenda. There should be publicly funded teaching ( polytechnic not elitist). And publicly funded research (to generate FOSS IP). I actually think research should be anonymised too, just like peer review…
It’s the failures of democracy (or whatever political system) to turn education and research systems into something that serves the people - whilst giving them power and resources that that is the big issue to me. Of course western prestigious Universities predate most modern forms of government - and their feudalistic roots show in how they carry on.
There must have been a phone marketed as ePhone before now?
If not maybe try Espressone
On a mains power transformer, maintaining good electrical separation between mains side and low voltage side is a good superstition though. If in doubt increase the gap or insulation, electrical fire demons hate this one cheap trick.
I’m English, but neither of my parents are - I’d never claim to be English+(X/Y) though. I’d likely get the shit kicked out of me for just thinking one of them (maybe both for different reasons).
But irrespective of these 2 generations, people have been living where i do for far longer than England has been a country. Just since the Romans left there have been major influxes of Saxons, Jutes, Frisians, Normans, Vikings, probably some others . . . not to mention many waves of smaller scale immigration and emigration. It’s no lie when they say ‘the English all are bastards’ - mostly Franco-germanic-scandinavian mongrels.
Most European countries have populations that far outlive the current set of lines on the map or the current flags. And most have been involved with a lot of migration. And most people will have ancestors died on the losing side of one war or another or for a country that is no longer there, or a dividing line that has long since moved.
It just seems odd to me to keep track of all that stuff in any specific sense.
**1b **- boot a Mint live usb and just try running whatever exes you need in wine. (copy them onto another fat32 usb to run them from and no risk). They might be slower but you should get an idea whether they work or not.
If one doesn’t work try asking on linux community to see if anyone can help. Or searching online and protondb of course it might be helpful to say what programmes or types of programs you use , people might have advice or suggested alternatives.
If you get a linux system going you can set up a windows virtual machine (vm) from linux using QEMU+KVM - i find this better than virtualbox. But it’d be odd to do that from a live usb, so use your test system if you want to test that. You could keep a win 10 v.m virtually sandboxed in a qemu and block it’s network accesss - just use it for whatever exes don’t work well enough on windows - might slighly kink the workflow though if you need internet, or to pass files around.
But any hardware not working on linux obviously can’t be made available to vm.
1g - For hardware, again boot a live usb and test out everything. If you can’t get anything working then try posting for specific help. This might be the case where a newer linux kernel (than whatever Mint is up to) is beneficial, if you have some bleeding edge hardware that might only be in the latest kernel versions.
linux sucks. it bloats everyone arse with it’s with cockpilots. Even if you could load up a game in it, it’d insert its own joystick right into your face without asking.
It’s a government agency in the United Kingdom called the Ordnance Survey. They make all the maps.
I was originally set up to help defend against catholic rebellions so it is historically linked to the army. That’s probably where the Colonel comes in to it.
Cody Berg was hired by Linus Tovalds after Gita Hub left his company.
No way; ghosts? Just pished bastards. Nessie is real though - you don’t mess with Mr McToot he’ll set Ferocious Ness on you.
Thanks, my mistake . It sounds like harvard is the bag of shite then. That would accord with my experience of supposedly “prestigious” european things that purport prestige.
My apologies to claremont mckenna; though i would suggest , to protect their own reputation, they might want to suck fewer harvard cocks.
1970s. I wasn’t alive then so I don’t know what it was, probably something mi5 put in the water. But since then over 50% of all turkeys that can be bothered to vote, have chosen a pro-xmas candidate.
