Exactly. I keep hearing this "they're taking our jobs" argument, and it's been going on for a long time. The people saying this are not lookng at the stats of how many people are now employed compared to 10, 100 years ago. From the industrial revolution onwards, it's been generally an upward trend.

I know a guy who just says he stacks shelves at Tesco as he cannot be bothred to explain 😂

It's the best characteristic of English, I think. It's alive, it changes and we do very little to prevent that from happening (unlike French or German).

I'm not Canadian, but as a Brit I also say Zed instead of Zee but I've never heard someone say Zed instead of Zero. WTF.

I think it was a bit of a race to be honest. If Bangladesh revoked her citizenship first, the UK couldn't have.

As a Brit-born to Brit parents, if I have gained, say, Irish citizenship (or Spanish, or Kenyan, whatever) then the UK could revoke my citizenship under the same rules. It's the fact she had another citizenship that allowed them to do this at all.

Don't get me wrong, I'm sure there are some horrible racist pieces of shit who would see it as you've described, but I don't think this is one of them.

I felt the same way after making a Shooter's sandwich.

It was handy until I realised it installs to the user profile instead of system-wide. Reverted to chocolatey.

regularise users to a proprietary intermediary management system.

I don't understand what this means.

Because the first thing Nero does when he arrives back in time is destroy the USS Kelvin (the ship where Kirk's father is killed), and thus setting that universe off onto its new timeline. It could have been called anything, but someone decided on that one thing.

I've actually thought for a while now that a big software company should come out and say they support ReactOS for whatever their product is and advertise it like "Full, Oracle 23c DB support on ReactOS - but without the Microsoft tax."

Yes, that's not realistic between Oracle and MS, but it would be such a boon to ReactOS.

 

Cooked the chicken in the air fryer, veggies in a pan. Oh, and coconut rice.

 

Bloody cold the last day or so. Wore hoodie all day yesterday.

 

The installation was really smooth, very impressed. Hope this becomes my daily driver now.

 

I say "Vahz" my other half says "Vayze."

 

Sorry if this isn't the correct place to ask, but I've noticed on my homepage (correct term?) the feed updates top down (I'm using Active mode) and it sometimes does it in bursts (so new posts come through at once), this causes my place in the scroll to be moved, so I lose my place. Is there a way to stop the feed? Then I can just refresh manually once I've reached the bottom for example?

Many thanks!
