Year of the Linux desktop inbound.

Yep. One of the best investments I ever made tbh. It has paid so many dividends over time.

Young lad punched a nazi who came to troll.

Cat.

It is

Whaaaat?

Wololo

That’s crazy! I have heard similar stories on first where staff are dismissive though. First ones are usually slower so they build this silly assumption. My poor niece was over 24 hours. Nightmare!

We had two more after that and both times they brought her in early to induce so she wouldn’t have a repeat “unscheduled home delivery” haha.

I delivered my own child. Wife went for a snooze and somehow woke up deep in labour. No way we were going to make the hospital. Young and very nervous sounding lad talked me through it on the phone. I was glad it wasn’t my first time experiencing the birthing process because that took a lot of stress out of it.

There were no complications and it all went smoothly. She’s 16 now.

At the time I was mod of a parenting community that nearly lost it’s shit hahaha.

The fire brigade arrived about two minutes after the baby.

On the very same day my son’s best friend’s parents had to deliver their baby on the side of the road because they didn’t make the hospital!

Ah c’mon now. You can’t drop a zinger like that without details and / or pictures.

Where I live there’s a legal requirement to have a certified first aider as employee once you go beyond a certain number of people on-site.

My first job was in a large company and they paid for me to get certified along with a few others. It was open to anyone who was interested. Really cool learning tbh. I think it was three days of intensive training then a written test and practical on dummies for CPR etc.

You have to get recertified every few years if you want to be considered legal though.

My entire year got suspended, then un-suspended on our last day of secondary (high school).

So it’s the last day and pranks abound as is the case in most schools. The usual harmless stuff.

Three lads decided that it would be the height of hilarious to fill a balloon with water and drop it out of the library window onto some unsuspecting eejit. Now I mean proper balloon, not the little water balloons you buy.

Anyway, they heaved it over to the window and dropped it. The library was on the third floor though so by the time it got to ground you’re talking about a lot of momentum. It would have been dangerous if it had hit someone.

They missed and hit a teacher’s car, instantly smashing the back window.

Word spread like wildfire and we’re all called into the library for a meeting of the full year. They say to dob in the culprits or we’re all suspended. If they come forward we know they’re going to be expelled though. Everyone knew who it was but they gave us time to talk it over amongst ourselves. The consensus was to keep our mouths shut after quite a bit of arguing.

Well, they suspended us all. We were all over 18 so went to the nearest pub. It was a bad end to a good time in the school and the atmosphere was really weird.

About an hour later the lads involved owned up and we were all reinstated. They were expelled though and weren’t allowed to sit their state exams in the school.

That sounds like a really great school.

Gotta seed.

Plenty of interesting stuff going on that she covers (generals being ousted, political infighting etc.).

There’s a bias there but once you filter through that lens the information is really interesting.

I feel like tulips are the next big thing.

That is not what they cost. Mine was 180 euro. It has HDR support and plays everything I throw at it.

Yes. Really, really slim as they said.

Yeah, surprisingly DVD is still heavily outselling 4K bluray. Seems weird to me but I guess the players are ubiquitous.

You give me blankets, a space heater and food and I ain’t goin’ nowhere either tbh.
