It ended in 2012 as predicted, we’re all just living on the still warm corpse and most people haven’t realised yet.

I love this because it means Picard is even more of a bad ass rebel.

If you find it please share, I’d love to take a look, I’m terrible with remembering knots.

I usually go with Train Track, but I’ve had to replace my laces recently while away and could only get ones that were too thick to double up in the eyelets so reverted to Ladder.

I find these very similar in feel to the straight methods but you can get them much tighter. Also depending on the shoes you can hide the verticals for the train track method behind the eyelets which has a distinctive look.

If you like this sort of thing check out Ian’s Shoelace Site, has hundreds of examples of this sort of thing for every scenario possible.

Doesn’t surprise me, he has a track record of ignoring rules set out by the government, even when it was him making the rules!

They should still be charged if the wrong amount of postage has been paid.

So if you send what royal mail count as a large letter but with a normal stamp instead of a large letter stamp they will be fined and charged the difference in postage.

You have forever changed the way I communicate from this day on.

My wife added ABBA’s Dancing Queen to our driving playlist for our first long trip. Silence into a deafening piano slide half way through the drive was an interesting way to nearly die from shock.

Basically.

I build on my laptop and then add to the repo stored on my NAS.

I’ve also got chaotic-aur set up as they tend to build the bulk of what I need from the AUR so I only have to build the more niche packages I use.

I did something similar with Puppet a while ago, it also runs as root so hot the same problem.

My solution was to set up my own package repo for the AUR packages I needed and just build them periodically. This way I only have to build them once for all the machines.

Used to have a coal fire when I was growing up in the 90s, rural Wales, was able to heat our water too.

Nothing beats a baked potato cooked under a coal fire.

The previous gorilla was called Sourceforge and it’s still cowering in the corner.

We’re just waiting on the next young gorilla to step up and make a challenge.

Honestly with the way the world is at the moment I think they should have moved it forwards again this year.

Things aren’t the same as last year they’re getting worse and that should have been reflected.

They’re them at the glowing bit until it’s dark.

My car seems to be from the transition period, it has a lighter but no ash trays in the front, only in the back.

I guess it’s fine for the kids to smoke while watching the in built DVD players but not the driver and front passenger /s

Said Conservative has also been rewarded for all of this by being made a lord.

I have never once missed it. I’ve already switched to Bluetooth for my headphones and car. At home I cast to the hifi or Bluetooth speaker.

I got an adaptor to let me use cabled headphones when I need to and I’ve used it twice, once was to test it even worked.

The use case just doesn’t exist for me anymore.
