Thank you.

Aye was a rushed post, I’m looking to do this but not sure what type of springs I should be looking for, so guess the question should have been ‘has anyone done this and what springs did you use’.

I’ve looked around for things like upgrade kits and whatnot without success, so think I’ll have to…you know, buy a spring off eBay… I’ve no idea where to begin.

Nice, not only will that do the job but it’s a better experience than Netflix’s own UI.

Just had a conversation with my partner on this, she’s on the basic package (UK) and not prepared to accept the next price jump (the hike plus the need to upgrade the package).

Plenty of options to find Netflix content elsewhere, her concern is losing the ability to scroll through Netflix and find something she’d otherwise not see.

Any advice for conviniantly seeing what’s on Netflix on her phone, without going to Netflix?

And I thought I had a bad day today.

It’s true, I’m so sorry to say.

I read the article, hit reply and almost started with the standard ‘Redditesque’ response, you know expletives and insults and whatnot; but I can’t.

I’m simply too exhausted by the behavior and performance of my country’s government. Exhausted by my neighbours who continually vote for this political party despite what it has done to my country. The absolute gall of this cabinet to announce this act, when there is no longer anything to act against.

People way say ‘but the weapons and training’ and yes, they were (and remain) essential. I honestly believe Ben Wallace to be a decent and principled man and that he acted from a sense of what was needed for Ukraine, not what was good for his career but, it is easy to arm an ally when the world opposes your enemy.

Sanctioning Wargner while it was active,with an active leadership was not so easy it seems.

Steel not flesh; front-line equipment did its job and, if the crew survived, did its job well.

Ah cool, that’s also where the option to hide Bot Accounts is,ty

Instapaper? Is this some new magic I’ve not heard of?

UK.

28 days PTO plus bank holidays.

28 days full-pay self-certificate sick leave.

6 months full pay with Dr’s cert, beyond that 50% pay for 24 months.

There are, bit pissed about it tbh. The over arching feedback on ‘time’ is to take a long rest whenever you feel the need but also that you need to take them to progress the main story; so long rests are fundamental to the game.

This is great, except at least one quest does have a timer and no, I didn’t read/see/hear any warning about this.

I’m fine with some quests actually having a timer, just mark them red in the journal or something

Yup, plus passata and puree. No such things as a tomato glut.

Was looking at Approval Tweaks, any idea if using it stops you gaining Steam achievements?

You’re going to hear a lot of people saying how straight forward Windows is install; I’m avoiding W11 so have my W10 anecdote.

The only way I’ve ever been able to install W10 is to disconnect every single peripheral except m/kb and one single drive.

Anything else over the years, be it different mobos, HDD,SSD m.2 thingies it’s always been the same; anything more than m/kb and one single disk W10 shits the bed.

If you’re still struggling, try that.

‘Thick as a Brick’ Jethro Tull.

More of a grower than an immediate album but, once you tune in, there’s so much going on I never get bored.

Rarely watch live tv now, between the adverts and reality/game shows there’s barely anything of worth to watch.

What little there is, I’ll record on the youview box then watch at my convinience and zip though the ads.

I’ve basically got no interest in what the stations want to produce.

Very very very little indication they would be better, and I’m very left of center in politics.

Starmer is very suss as far as I’m concerned, I’m not at all comfortable with his purges…if he gets in, we’ll see.

All good choices, but seeing no love for KDE Connect?

Yup same here. Two profiles, one is my daily driver and open source, they other is for the few apps I need with Google services. This is the perfect compromise between what I want, and what I need.

Used to be worse, to quote messers Pratchett & Gaimon.

"NOTE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE AND AMERICANS: One shilling = Five Pee.

It helps to understand the antique finances of the Witchfinder Army if you know the original British monetary system

Two farthings = One Ha’penny. Two ha’pennies = One Penny. Three pennies = A Thrupenny Bit. Two Thrupences = A Sixpence. Two Sixpences = One Shilling, or Bob. Two Bob = A Florin. One Florin and One Sixpence = Half a Crown. Four Half Crowns = Ten Bob Note. Two Ten Bob Notes = One Pound (or 240 pennies). Once Pound and One Shilling = One Guinea.

The British resisted decimalized currency for a long time because they thought it was too complicated."
