Fun fact:
I went to a private school where some of the teachers were freemen of the city of London. Apparently, they could request that tower bridge be raised. None of them ever tried, but I believe it is some weird legacy law. They also had the right to drive their sheep across London Bridge, but that one has burnt down, burnt down, burnt down.
Had project manager at previous job the same. Worked about 3" from his screen. He was the proof that a good project manager is worth their weight in gold though. Guy was absolutely brilliant.
It’s a Parks & Rec reference:
Either Slackware or Red Hat Linux 5, can’t remember. I do remember that when I first installed RH5 I used “Hick” for my language.
A couple of weeks ago I moved Firefox to one side. Window disappeared, but Firefox was still running “somewhere” on my desktop, but was not actually be rendered to the screen. Killing the process and relaunching just resulted in it be rendered to this weird black hole. Log out of gnome and log back in? Same! Reboot? Same!
Ended up deleting it’s config folder and re-attaching to Firefox sync in order to have it working again. No idea what went wrong, nor will I ever most likely.
Instead of brake checking, flash the rear fog lights.
A red light coming on often makes them think you’re braking.
Don’t care if they do it themselves or contract it out. They just need to be make sure it is done.
Then please do not be an arsehole landlord.
It is not the tennant’s responsibility to pay the mortgage on your flat. Nor should they return it to you as new.
What you rent it for is the market rate, which hopefully will cover your mortgage+expenses. It may not, that is your problem, not the tennant’s.
When the tenndnt moves out there will be changes and even damage. Just like your primary property will have changes and damage.
When the tennant highlights an issue, fix it NOW. They are paying you a lot of money and deserve a lot of service.
Nothing wrong with being a landlord. There is a problem with being a tosser.
The landlord/tennant relationship seems to be different to every other business relationship. The landlord always seem to think they are doing the tennant a service by allowing them care for the house. The reality is that the tennant is exchanging large sums of money for a service.
The problem goes back further. You say “another group owned it first”, but Israel say they have had that land for millennia and it was given to them by God.
Palestine did not even exist until the British randomly carved it out on a map except for a brief period under the Romans around 0BC. The Romans called it Palestine in order to remove Israel’s identity.
How far back do we go?
You’ve never used find have you? Let’s not even get started on the config file syntax for sendmail either.
Tom Cruise begs to differ
Sysadmins have no idea what they are doing, we’re just one step ahead of the rest of you at googling stuff.
Valid point, didn’t think of that.
Sounds like you need a holiday.
Rent a log cabin with no cell service for 2 weeks and see what you feel like when you get back.
Kodi is what you are looking for.
Run it on Pi 4 or a NUC. We use Disney+ and Netflix on ours, although Prime video does not work (although it should, I just have not made any effort yet).
You have basically just described Kodi.
Look into “digital signage” panels.
Not cheap, but they are basically a 49"+ computer monitor that is rated for 24/7 usage.
Either your parents have serious problems or your mum is developing some form of illness. They need to see someone.
None in Brittany either! This is a bad sign
