See, I couldn’t bring myself to type that; I think I’d have to alias it to ‘bother’.

Likewise

Nice.

Now, how long till I can get an ebook reader / eink device with proper open source software? Or anyone have any recommendations?

I’m not your IT admin, so I’m sharing this only for informational purposes but you seem to have posted twice ;-)

Lord Wiggle recommends: 9pro with Hasselblad. Amazing photos, every time.

Definitely sounds like they pay you to make that up. ;-p

Neither. I’m sharing an experience loosely related to the issue at hand. The point, if any, might be to give some context to why deportees might be handcuffed in some situations.

Do you think, if I splash droplets of water on the flames of your fury, that means I agree with what happened?

I was on a flight out of the UK once where someone was being deported - to India, I think. He was shouting at swearing, especially at families with children, and making life as difficult as possible. Apparently he’d been taken off two flights before for this behaviour, and figured it’d keep working for him. This time he had a retinue of some private security company to see him to the other end, some five or six big guys I think. I think in the end they sedated him.

Depends how many suitcases you’re carrying

Super knowledgeable but with patchy knowledge, so they’ll confidently say something that practically everyone else in the company knows is flat out wrong.

Gulf of Mexico, for the small price of moving to Mexico.

I love OSMAnd for openstreetmap. Great for offline maps, and able to download whole countries in advance. There’s lighter weight apps now, I think; OSMAnd has lots of features, many which I don’t need, but I still love it after picking it up when it was maybe the only one.

Doesn’t do traffic (I don’t think?) and it’s routing used to be lacklustre. Search function still seems rubbish to me, but maybe I’m using it wrong. (If I’m searching for a place rather than looking on the map I’ll often use Google maps to get a lat/lon or plus code, then put that into OSM!)

We tried it with war once, people liked it but the bosses cancelled it next time.

What if you’re a bicycle-loving vegan? Maybe an e-bike battery and a good herbal tea? I’d hope a kg of gold can get you at least two herbal teas

If you were already average, it could double your wealth - which could translate to something like a bigger house, investments, or a lump sum that’s huge compared to your normal available cash.

So I think it’d still be a pretty big deal unless you’re rich. But I agree, less than I might have expected.

Going by @[email protected]’s post, that’d put you a bit above the median American (or double you, if you’re already a median American), or about a hundred Africans.

I’ve not heard of Jeep culture, myself, so now I’m going to imagine a colony of asexually-reproducing microscopic Jeeps in a Petri dish.

Today, O Squid, you have broadened my imagination beyond yesterday.

I think now it’s Windows Cloud Commander 11000, soon to be re-integrated into your Office 366 account. Elevated privileges require a premium subscription.

Thanks for doing the research!

If I didn’t need the flexibility my Android (Lineage) gives me, the iPhone 13 mini is one phone that’s actually a nice size.

And my Samsung S10e - just it’s out of date for firmware updates.

Though I’d actually prefer something smaller and use my phone for less.

And, for apparently the first time, I wonder. Does Linux Mint refer to the plant/ingredient, connecting obviously with Cinnamon desktop, the green theme, and inviting variations called Linux Peppermint and Linux Spearmint? Or does it originate from being Linux, in Mint condition?

Perhaps, we can all pretend it’s the second one, and instead of *I use Mint, btw," our catchphrase can be, “I mint Linux, btw.”
