After a few years there was XPizza tool… Allowing MIT guys to order pizza from their workstation…

Ah that ditty with similar lyrics, by Infected Mushroom, is now running through my head…

Where’s the bloody bog?

Yeh I have noticed something similar.

I have to refresh home/local/all when I visit them to get all new posts. Default sort is new for all of them (iirc)

Occasionally there is 1 new one at the top of the feed.

I thought I was dreaming.

Yeh, the oya got smudged/erased on the gold plate.

Vger … Star Trek the movie called and wants their name back!🤪

Yup. Exactly that. Us poors can work harder to earn enough so that we also can live in nirvana.

Just thinking aloud here…

Can you boot the install media when the laptop storage is installed?

If so, you can use gparted from the install media to clean the storage device and start from scratch. That might help.

You should be able to tell what mode to install the os in from the boot mode of the install media.

That is odd. However iirc it is an option in the bios.

Fwiw telling grub to uefi boot will not work if the boot device doesn’t have uefi support (and trying to boot in bios mode from a uefi disk fails as well… Been there got the T-shirt)

To get the install media to boot you could try removing the laptop storage…

On all the lenovos here hitting enter when the bios displays the Lenovo splash screen gives a menu that allows you to get at the bios or a boot menu.

You have to be a bit careful cos it’s on a countdown, paused and resumed by the enter key… And you have to get it timed right.

Nah they aren’t shit, they are just poor traditional school fiction with added magic…

School fiction is a genre that has existed for ever and is always no better than “meh” imho. The Potter books are definitely at most meh but not as bad as shit.

Funny Autoincorrect…

Pre 1850s, in most cases, you needed to have lots of offspring regardless of wanting them or not… Mortality was high.

Hmmm there are quite a few of these… Ok these are UK/us mostly.

America: fanny - backside

UK: fanny - the other side (!)

America: rubber - condom

UK: rubber - something you use to erase pencil marks.

UK and others: Durex - Condom brand

Others: Durex - sticky tape

US: Suspenders - things for holding trousers up

UK: Suspenders - things for holding stockings up. Used with a suspender belt and with, or without, other underwear…

USA: Pants - leg coverings e.g. blue jeans

Most of the UK: Pants - things you wear under your blue jeans (unless ”going commando”)

IANAL however… Your daily storage rate is way too low. It will cost you more to get what they owe you than you will get out of them.

Send them a letter changing the rate to £250 a day and stating payment terms of 30 days.

You have to be (legally) reasonable, so give them 14 or 28 days to get something sorted, after which the new rate will apply.

You should send them (snail mail and email) invoices every week reminding them of their ongoing commitment to paying you.

They may not pay you, in which case you have to go through small claims (Google it) or sue them to get the money they agreed to pay you (by not removing the vehicle after you gave them a reasonable time to comply) the former costs you time and effort the latter cost time effort and money.

In my experience, once invoices for significant sums start adding up to being a PITA for them, things will happen. Once the car is gone you have to decide if it is worth your time and effort to chase down the invoices. Hint - it probably isn’t.

I got rid of incompetent bailiff companies this way (they kept buying a debt that someone had taken out using my address as theirs and the original loan company didn’t check)

tl;dr - you have to make it worth their while to make you go away whilst being cool, collected and, above all, reasonable.

We have this. Your Linux box will have to be a domain member with authentication set up to use the corporate AD.

The GPO/Domain intune settings are stopping your client from attempting any non AD authorised share access attempt.

I bet that one of the quarries in which Dr Who was filmed is much more scenic than an asteroid… Towering cliffs, caves reaching back into the limestone, crashing waves… Lovely if you can make the trip, and a decent pub in the village or tea room if the pub doesn’t appeal.

Like all men, his wife tells him what to do … She is his handler after all and has been since he brought her to the US of A.

Judge is clearly mistaken… Trump can just sign an executive order and, because the SCOTUS has said anything he does in post is legal, boom - AP are excluded.

Having thrown tea in Boston harbour to rid yourselves of tariffs and royalty, 200 years later, it sure looks like you have a king over there!

Live in Wales so I have skin in this game…

Observations: 20mph limit means most people drive below 30 in urban areas.

20mph might not be universal in UK but many many places I drive through over the border in Engerland have a 20 limit.

Most roads with a 20 limit have an average speed of… Stationary /walking pace anyway.

The mandatory 20 limit was proposed and supported by Welsh right of centre politicos who dropped it like a hot potato on implementation - it was was weaponised legislation used as a stick with which to beat the left of centre Welsh Government Assembly ruling party.

My commute of 16 miles each way, though mainly through urban areas, has about 500m of 20mph limit… Commute time is unaffected. I’m all right Jack!

Over all I like the 20mph limit and the shouty loudmouths who don’t have failed to engage critical thinking.
