You’re welcome :-)
You’re welcome :-)
I’m in what was one of the greener parts of Spain, we’re on year 2 of a drought already and over the last 3 years we’ve repeatedly hit 40°.
I’m genuinely worried for the future, and it feels completely out of my hands.
You’re probably going to find that hair-specific scissors are going to work fine on beard hairs too, but they’ll be comparatively long and ungainly for around your face.
Any brand-name ones are going to be good if you’re not planning to be a pro. I do my family hair, but that’s with a trimmer!
Same thing with The Guardian, where their feminist opinion pieces were written by an actively transphobic woman for a long time after it was considered not-cool.
Probably for the best
Thank you, I’ll take a look at those two :-) Necrotech was already on my list, but that was just because of the cover, lol
Cool, I’ll keep an eye out for those books!
Does Murderbot have a predefined kill limit?
This is a thoughtful list, and an interesting thing to think about!
I had a trans girlfriend and through her transition it was indeed on her mind a lot. Once she was settled and just being herself it basically became no issue at all.
On a related issue, have you got any good book recommendations for cyberpunk that features other members of the Alphabet Mafia?
I was trying to work out why a program needed more of the bartender from the Simpsons in it.
I don’t know of any other Moes.
Well, I went and looked it up and apparently since the iPhone 4 onwards Apple actually started to get their shit together and started supporting their hardware for more than 3 years … I do find it funny though that an unsupported iPhone can’t connect to the app store at all while even the evil Google’s old apps can still get live data without problems.
Yes, it’s a 3G. In black if minutiae matter to you.
It doesn’t have maps, and most websites are unsupported even though it’s far newer than the old Android phone.
I can’t use the iPhone 3 I have in a drawer, even though there’s nothing wrong with it. Meanwhile my HTC that runs Android 1.2 still works with Google maps just fine.
I was also pissed off when all the OSX software dropped support for single-core Intel processors which rendered some very expensive 2 year old machines at work useless for anything Mac-specific.
For context, my Dad is still using a PC I built out of parts recovered from a skip in 2008, and it works just fine.
Do they last longer? I have an IPhone 3 somewhere that just decided to stop working, yet my HTC with Android 1.2 still works fine.
Most of what’s held me back from Apple products has been their planned obsolescence, where the OS was no longer supported, which I’ve never had with a PC. I’ve had my cheap second hand laptop for 7 years now and that still works fine with the latest software
As a lover of cyberpunk and a lover of webcomics, thank you for the link - I’ll give it a try this weekend!
Its prime prog-rock, by all means check out their other stuff, along with things like Hawkwind. Some of it looses the path but a lot doesn’t :-)
So, when you say it’s no longer updated do you mean it finished a story arc and was left there, or does it just stop in some random place as happens with so many web comics?
Thanks! So far it’s really really good and everything works (the WM is so nice), except I can’t use HDMI from my laptop which might be a show stopper :-/
Apparently it already has the stuff I use, so full steam ahead for me! :-)
I just found Haiku R1 Beta 4 exists yesterday, and today read that it has an X11 API interpreter, so I’m going to give it a try over the weekend by chucking an old HDD in my laptop and running it natively … if it recognises my old laptop’s WiFi I’ll try it on a longer term basis :-)
Yaught - Paradise Engineering.
Bring in the retro synth, introduce a slapping bass beat, and just when you’re ready for a shot of adrenalin in comes the overraught, out of tempo, spoken word over the top.
:-(
Similarly, every Mogwai album has to have a synth-voice track for some reason. Presumably to give the audience a chance to go to the loo without missing anything.
