Vicky Pattinson

I had to Google that name. I'm not surprised I've never heard of her. Not exactly a comedian.

I don't think it's got anything to do with Lammy per sé, but it is still viewed as white people shipping white celebrities who haven't done any obvious charity work to take photos with poor black people.

Even if you've never heard of Lammy, you can see why a lot of Comic Relief is tone deaf.

ANSI-UK

This is your problem as this doesn't actually exist. Ansi is the American National Standard, and does not contain the £ which would be required for the UK.

You could hack the layout, to replace $ with £, but then it wouldn't be ANSI and here we use both. There is a reason the TKL is 87 Vs 88 keys.

Anyone who says they did a UK ANSI is actually saying "I brewed my own layout".

The flip it the other way, why on earth would I want to use ANSI?

Soft Play? More like Soft Cunts!

Also, food is the biggest factor. There’s no point putting loads of energy into working out/getting fit if you’re just eating crap all the time. 

They could always play front row rugby?

OPs motivation is already there; they recognise that they are over 40 and overweight.

However the only solution that will work is to use discipline otherwise you'll find days where you don't feel like it, or it's a bit too cold which end up being weeks and before you know it, you aren't doing anything.

Compose has been an argument for docker for a while now.

You don't need the docker-compose script.

If you come to Newbury, the bunkers at Greenham Common were used in the Star Wars 8 film.

I wouldn't come here for any other reason.

why limit competition by upping requirements?

It's not really upping requirements since the AI generated tat is all new, more like keeping the status quo.

You ask:

Did you make sure your models for generating the art are licensed?

Most countries would view taking in a few million Brits as a net positive rather than an act of charity.

Even if we had just arranged for our society to collapse? Considering that we probably voted for it as well (can't spend money on fixing society when we could spend it all on the NHS!) I don't know if other countries might limit our travel there.

Ah, but that's a man's dress not a woman's dress.

You can tell somehow.

If you already have a tent, you could go camp in the woods near us. It seems to be a fairly popular spot with the homeless, so shouldn't be too expensive.

An older link, but it hits most of the points as to why modern film making is shit.

TLDR: Directors want everything fixed in post rather than doing a good job in the first place, and for some things that can't be done. They are terrible directors, working with terrible actors, producing a terrible quality product.

Are you trying to agree with me that Oracle have contributed very little to Linux?

Because they are far behind in contributions.

I was just looking for the joke in Cluedo and couldn't see anything funny.

https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/pun

a humorous use of a word or phrase that has several meanings or that sounds like another word

Other references such as Wikipedia don't use the phrase "pun" when referring to the link between Ludo and Cluedo.

This sounds like an AI bot attempting a "retort".

It doesn't take very long for things in my compost bin to start to break down, or even go moldy. Was it the only thing in the bin, and was this over winter?

They might get to Slough and think that the nukes have already dropped.

Even notorious leeches and evil on principle companies like Oracle can't help but contribute at least something

No they don't, Oracle have tried to spin this several times, like this

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32150138

But they really don't contribute. Just because it's open source doesn't mean distributors submit anything upstream or even spend their time trying to make it hard for others to use. Red Hat literally pays for developers to work on these projects and Oracle does a find and replace, so they can sue their customers.

Look at the ARM vendors, who technically release their kernel sources but do't upstream as another example.

While I can disagree on whether I think the Red Hat move is good or bad, Oracle can FUCK OFF.

Err, no we haven't.

I was responding to someone complaining that prep time matters because their stove was shit.

I hate this about 15-20min recipes, they take at least another 20min to prep even if they're relatively simple.

Even things like heat a frying pan, boil water, if your stove is a bit shit (especially crap electric stove top) that take ages and I never time things well.

Other threads complained about ingredients, but not the one I was responding to.

happymellon

Oh I see, when I thought pun I thought of a humourous play on words.

There is a pun in Cluedo?
