You can tell them you’re not wasting any of it because eventually it will be used, none of it will get spoiled and people tend to actually need that bog roll within a week or two. Also, it’s a ONE time “double” buy, because from then on you buy everything once just the same; you just make sure you don’t end up spending even MORE when you run out of the 24 roll TP bag and have to quickly buy a less eco 6-pack.
Interesting, I know this one with beer.
Buying another box, bag, etc. of soap, toilet paper, tooth paste and whatever long lasting product before it runs out. It doesn’t expire (fast), therefore I always have a second, full bag as a buffer, and as soon as I have to open the second one, I put it on the shopping list so there is always a buffer bag and I don’t get annoyed if I still forget to buy one or it’s out of stock.
It’s been years since I had to use some weird substitute for toilet paper.
This just triggers this memory in me every time: https://youtu.be/BPNzbbXjJsQ?t=108
Oh, there was 0 offense taken, mockery didn’t even cross my mind. I just simply realised I was probably misleading first.
So the thing is, English is not my first language and I used the wrong word. I guess it’s more like greasy bread. Just plain pig fat spread on a slice of bread. But what you just described actually sounds awesome.
Even if there was a single ad that I would want to click on, ever, I would still just simply look up the site instead. The only reason I’ve clicked an ad in the past 20 years was when I did it accidentally. They know that (as in, they know that the click ratio will be low) and I’m sure their goal is just for you to see the ad.
The good old 2000s when you could host and successfully distribute any virus disguised as something popular by slapping a _full, _HD or .rar/zip (or any combination) at the end of the file name.
I used to look up lard bread and there was a hit for lard bread_full.rar on the first page.
While we’re at it, make every name start with the surname. I understand why the majority of countries/languages start names with the forename, but finding people in a list of names is just so much easier when they are naturally called Swift Taylor and DeVito Danny.
Is that a possum with antlers? Because that’s truly terrifying.
Did it use to be tight?
You should be happy you never do. Let’s not find out.
Multiplayer (competitive?) gaming in general is pretty poorly supported on Linux. It’s not necessarily Linux’s fault: it’s enough to deal with one OS’s loopholes as an anti cheat developer, let alone two or more; but if you happen to actually enjoy playing games like Valorant, League of Legends, PUBG, Counter Strike or basically most of the big names, then, unfortunately, you don’t really have a choice.
I’ve been waiting for the (nearly?) full compatibility of multiplayer games for 20 years. I would love to solely use Linux, but I’m afraid it’s not just HDR or music production.
I’m just guessing, I’m still using Windows (though I would have made the swap literally decades ago if the games I like in particular ran on Linux just as fine): it’s not about functionality; Windows was designed to be a great tool to do your business.
It’s everything else that you pay in return, the price being the least of the problems. Forced ads, forced software, insane amount of “telemetry” (half of which is just data collection for their own gains), to name a few. Year by year it’s getting harder, more complicated and more tedious (and less and less doable) to remove all the forced ads, reverse all the forced program defaults and automatic bloat. If you have to look it up on the Internet how you need to edit the registry to be able to stop certain processes/services that annoy you, then it means they don’t want you to stop the annoyance. A few patches later you can’t even do it. Dishonest stuff like that.
If you’re fine with everything that Win11 means, including stuff that drives others up the wall, then Win11 is for you and there’s nothing wrong with that.
As much as others here love to shit on certain games (like League of Legends or Valorant), I still find them fun to play and I wouldn’t want to say goodbye to them just because otherwise I’d prefer Linux. There’s a reason they aren’t supported on various OS’s at the same time (developing anti cheat on multiple systems is just super labour intensive, and opens up way too many loopholes/exploits/bugs for cheat developers), and it pretty much applies to ANY multiplayer game. If I only played single player games I would switch in an instant.
I totally get it! I stopped watching TV in 2000.
It’s a Friends reference (and now a spoiler, I guess). Sorry, am boomer.
The guy is so bad I assume he is that guy of Newcastle. There must be other that guys in other cities - who knows, maybe several; but I would bet at least 15 pence (probably even 20) that if it’s Newcastle then it’s this guy.
