Oh I know little to nothing about turntables, so you’re probably right :-)

Someone showed me a record turntable with what must have been a centrifugal governor! What an ingenious device. (I got the impression from him this was unusual for a turntable, at least…)

At what point can this menace be slapped with Barratry and barred from filing nuisance lawsuits? sheesh.

That’s what I ended up doing. A dumb monitor is just fine, as long as you don’t need a huuuge screen. The main thing is to find a good external speaker though that doesn’t auto-sleep in the middle of one’s show…

Which came first, Weeping Angels or SCP-173?

Heaven forbid journalists do… you know, their jobs?

True. I hope it bubbles up to those who have ‘more to lose’ and they put country over career and party.

Fair point – she had the courage and 100% deserves credit for that! I wish more had her strength.

‘former officials’

… it isn’t courageous and won’t mean anything until CURRENT officials do the same, en masse. They’re mostly too scared of losing their cushy positions. Cowards.

A GIF of a ship? Oh, and an MP3 of “Message In A Bottle” by The Police?

Canada has always used paper, hand-counted ballots. Why anyone would trust their elections to machines which can be sabotaged is beyond me. Perhaps use them to check human-counted results, not the other way 'round.

Takes too long? Recruit more volunteers. Or, heaven forbid, pay them. Something this important deserves the resources to do it transparently and accurately.

Or, please consider Devuan as well, to ensure there are distros without hard dependencies on systemd, an expansive attempt to cement IBM/RedHat’s control over the direction of Linux through foundational changes to the init, filesystem, login, homedir, and other components…

Please don’t bother replying to change my mind… never gonna like systemd no matter what. If it works for you, fine. Some of us still find it wholly unnecessary.

I put on my robe and wizard hat

When our last TV which was ‘smart’ died, we just bought a big lcd monitor at the pawn shop. We already were only using Kodi on an Android box, so a monitor with external speaker is fine. (Seemed spyware free last time I checked, but beware no-name android media boxes on=from eBay etc., use a tiny or old spare PC instead if you wish).

One must ‘sail the high seas’ tovget content, of course…

Hmm, nothing a little thermite on their hoods wouldn’t fix?

Debugging pretty much any multithreaded application…

Disclaimer: I make these :)

Here I go once again with the e-mail / Every week I hope that it’s from a fe-male!
