For some reason the quotes around the word free make it seem not satirical to me.

fragile.

You could put them on a fixed awning, but you generally don't want solar cells flopping around, being vibrated or moving at all if you can help it

I use Linux because it is free and good enough to do most stuff I want to do on a computer.

I use windows at work because I get paid - so from my perspective it is cheaper than free. It makes it frustrating to do the stuff I'm supposed to do but my employers are fucking idiots so it doesn't really matter.

I mean that might be theoretically possible with some geothermal energy input at some point, but practically speaking all rivers I've observed do not do this.

It seems likely that there is land between the source and the mouth.

It should be fairly easy for someone to visit the sources of the Elbe to test this presumption with real science.

I already assumed aur was riddled with stuff like that.

Use a condom when fucking around in there.

Thanks that makes some sense. I think the thing is they've been effective in the past, and not much else has. Maybe there has to be some sort of sacrifice to gain progress.

I guess some of the postwar progressive (economic) reforms - largely now abolished - were actually a product of democractic pressure rather than protest - but some of the other ones like anti-racism stuff still did require sacrifice and protest on top of that. And the prevailing economic conditions were quite extreme at that time. When people have less to lose there's less cost.

What's your opinion on strike action ?

Haha, Don't offer people windows 11 , even in jest. It's clearly the opposite of "being excellent" to them ( rule 3).

Gotta love mods.

Who is this mythical average user I keep hearing about?

I've never had a problem forcing people at work - even those with very limited IT knowledge - to run things from cli in windows.

For years in one place I worked the IT support first line solution was to tell all users to force a gp update from the windows cli. They'd point to a nice little how to guide with screenshots and everything. I don't know if any of the thousands of people working there were the all important average user either though, probably not.

 

HM Senior Coroner for Lancashire Dr James Adeley:

"The current system for 'ensuring' drivers meet the visual legal standards is ineffective, unsafe and unfit to meet the needs of society as evidenced by the deaths of Marie Cunningham, Grace Foulds, Anne Ferguson and Peter Westwell where the DVLA continued to provide licences to drivers who had failed to meet the legal sight requirements."

Terry Wilcox, of Hudgell Solicitors, representing the families of Mrs Cunningham, Mrs Foulds and Mr Westwell, said loop holes that are available for drivers who want to evade reporting on their eyesight are "jaw-dropping".

Rob Heard, chairman of the Older Drivers' Forum, warned that more people would die if changes were not made soon.
