Don't hold on to things you haven't done before you retire... It is a waste of time and regretting not doing stuff, which lasts for moments, is the folly of youth.

Also what/who you want to do changes as you get older...

/sauce greybeard who is 10 years off retirement.

drawings do not exploit anyone.

Hmmm. I think you will find in many jurisdictions that they are treated as if they do.

Temperature is not scalar

Messers Rankine, Kelvin and even Fahrenheit would beg to differ... Temperature is scalar, however it's effects on living things is generally not mostly owing to chemistry.

The claim that a 40° C jump in Sub-Zero temperatures is tolerable, but wouldn't be in the UK or whatever they're saying in this article... That's nonsense

Au contraire my dear fellow. For a human, the article is entirely correct. A rise of 40° C in a particularly cold place is indeed tolerable for a human. A similar rise in, say, the UK today would put the temperature at 52° C - hotter than Death Valley on a well above average day and considerably less tolerable.

Of course a single recorded rise in temperature isn't a good indication of climate...

Not really a fitting end, he escapes any long term consequences of his actions. Unlike families of his victims.

Society needed him to have his day in court and for him to be put away for the rest of his life, acting as a soap dish for whoever... Dead he gets away nearly free of consequences.

Can't have the poors driving - they should be working! cf. Drive to eliminate internal combustion driven vehicles and replace with EVs as well.

If it was an SSD... Its possible you have an SSD that claims to be say 256Gb but actually has a 32Gb chip inside (or smaller) that lies about how big it is and just wraps the writes so they complete... However the format is broken, as is the drive.

Not sure it counts but I have an oak dining table my grandfather bought back in 1910 or there abouts... So 113 years-ish. Still used every day.

Yup. The curse of the 'fair to middling'... Too well off for social benefits too poor to be able to ignore money...

Yes. In the Aga at home and the coal fire in the living room. Also in the grate at a friend's house.

Why? Aga for cooking and hot water, coal stove for heat, likewise coal in a grate.

ETA: coal as in Anthracite, Stove Esse, Stove Nuts. Not charcoal or coke. The latter two I have cooked on and forged metal with respectively.

Don't think about the dog park....

One thing other answers have missed is that some ssds encrypt data before writing and obviously after reading (this prevents a swap the storage controller type attack) A secure erase on such a device consists of changing the read/write key. Takes milliseconds. Irrevocable (unless you find a way to read previous contents of the key storage)

Thing with the spices is that medieval spices were much more varied than the few commonly available today - many are now out of fashion (cubebs, long pepper, though that is gaining traction, grains of paradise etc.).

I suspect the reason many have dropped out of use is down to suppliers not really wanting to bother and the similarities in flavour profile mean the the common ones are good/close enough.

The medieval cook would, however, be fascinated by the containers - screw top and air tight. If you could work out a way of making those...

First off - not a retail employee.

Untidy carts in the corral, for some reason, annoy me. Even if it takes a few minutes to sort them, for size and straightness, I have to - much to the annoyance of people who are waiting for me to get back to the car.

I guess it's irritation at the bad people who cba to be considerate to the cart collectors. Ffs you aren't doing someone's job, you are making their lives a bit less shit for 30s of effort.

Wow. I retract my recommendation. But then I am technically able but normal user level lazy...

The worst thing that Manjaro/Arch did was to automatically build QT when it was unnecessary and then blame users for not looking at the AUR comments before doing the automatic update that executed the build... If they can't admit that was a distro issue not a user issue (user taking recommended action gets pc incapacitated because of automatic action by the update software which happens with no warning) I guess they need to grow up.

Am I going to jump distro? Nah. It works for me. I said I am lazy!

A clump.

It's a hay rake design by some guy called Barnsley... Arts & Crafts movement. Plain oak top, 7'x3' ish, dovetail fit to oak hay rake frame which is wooden pinned together. The top has been abused over the years but being oak it just absorbs the abuse and turns it into character!

There is one in the same style in Cheltenham museum (UK) but mine is nicer. My cousin has its twin.

In the UK there is a split between England and Wales and Scotland. "southern" UK trespass is a civil offence. Scotland it is criminal.

So in southern UK trespassers will most definitely not be prosecuted (the railway and power plant property are, iirc, the two exceptions because they have by-laws) but may be sued for damages, in Scotland they can be prosecuted.

Hi it's your long lost cousin Scratchy Bottom (dry valley west of lulworth cove) Our grandpa still lives in Shaggs (hamlet north of Lulworth) but grandma is in Shitterton (hamlet next to Bere Regis) ....

What no Manjaro? Sweet Arch based distro which hardly ever breaks...
