New rule: "No generative AI content"
  • I asked the ChatSHiT degenerative AI what it thought about this and it told me to fuck off. Then it insulted my mum a few times, spilled my pint, asked me what I was going to do about it, and then just repeated "Are you going to cry now?" several times.

    So, yeah, I'm all for this new rule.

  • Notepad
  • No, no, no, you're thinking of iMacs which are Apple's all in one desktop offering. But thy can definitely run MacVim.

  • Notepad
  • Huh, I never noticed any issues when I used to use gvim (a fair few years back, mind). What's the problem with it?

  • Notepad
  • Learn to use Vim. It can be anywhere and everywhere.

  • Anon studies Buddhism
  • Monk was passing through. Some villagers saw him pissing on a statue of Buddha so they grabbed their pitchforks and went to pitchfork him. "Show me where Buddha is not, and I shall piss there." said the monk.

  • How do you take your tea or coffee?
  • Strong and milky, like my women.

  • Giant prehistoric kangaroos preferred to ‘chill at home’ and didn’t like to go out much, scientists say
  • There was a lot of good stuff on the telly back in the Quaternary Period.

  • Ah HMV... I remember you fondly
  • Ah, Athena... I remember you fondly

    Fuck me it's still going!

  • Why does it seem like so many (young) men these days flock over to types like Andrew Tate?
  • In the 1950s men ruled the home, earned the money, and were kings of their castles. Since then gender rules have been torn up and rewritten. Women have carved out new spaces for themselves with the support of allies. But there hasn't really been a new consensus of what a man's role is any more. The result being that lots of men see their domination being eroded by the new order of things.

    Shitstains like Tate prey on this by offering stupid but simple answers or solutions. "It's not your fault that you're a failure, it's the [random mysogenistic term]'s fault. It's them, they've done this to you. They're cheating your out of your rights." It's the same rhetoric as Hitler blaming the Jews and Trump blaming immigrants and Musk blaming the 'woke mind virus'.

    It gives young men an out. "This guy's winning at life and owning the [random mysogenistic term]! I should do what he does!"

    What profound statement has stuck with you over the years?
  • "Sometimes, at the end of a sentence, I come out with the wrong fusebox. And the thing about saying the wrong word is a] I don't notice it, and b] sometimes orange water given bucket of plaster."

    I think we can all take something away from that.

  • This thread is for lizard posting. Post your favourite lizards.
  • Was he the lizard or was everyone else a lizard, I forget.

  • It might not be uh, peak performance, but I passed my driving test (roughly 1.5 years of lessons, 1 per week, ~£5000 on lessons)
  • You're being the twat here, mate. Go have a break, have a Kitkat, then come back.

  • What's good on now tv?
  • Shame. Gary Oldman's Jackson Lamb is the most perfect depiction of a character from a book that I've ever seen.

  • What's good on now tv?
  • The Last Of Us was excellent and featured one of the most amazing episodes of TV of all time.

    If you're a Twin Peaks fan (I am), the this is the place to watch Twin Peaks: The Return if you haven't seen it yet.

    Dune Prophecy was excellent, although on a smaller scale than the Vileneuve films. But I enjoy anything with Travis Fimmel.

    My wife liked Poker Face but I found the lead a little grating.

    The Penguin was pretty good, featuring an unrecognisable Colin Farrell.

  • How was your Easter weekend? Any highlights or traditions you enjoyed this year?
  • Cooked lunch for the whole family-in-law. I did carnitas (plus a chicken version), tomatillo salsa, red coleslaw, guacamole, shredded lettuce, a sort of California style taco sauce, black refried beans, and served both soft tortillas and hard taco shells.

    We all ate far too much and then the kids started on the chocolate. Just like Zombie Jesus would have wanted.

  • What popular TV show did not do it for you and you quit watching?
  • Second best TV show ever!

    Different people like different things and that's awesome.

  • What popular TV show did not do it for you and you quit watching?
  • Came here for Buffy. I remember the film which was entertaining fluff, but then the series came out and almost immediately I hated it. But all of my friends loved it. Every so often one of them would try and persuade me to give it another go but everytime they did it was always by showing me the same fucking episode ('Hush', I think it's called) where no-one speaks.

    I guess I just don't enjoy looooong series which are more soap opera than they are story.

  • Do you use your turn signal in a turn-only lane? Why or why not?
  • This is absolutely the correct answer.

  • Champions wanted for St Albans' treasured Verulamium Park
  • It has, indeed, been looking a bit tired of late.

  • Jimmy Carr hosting ‘Am I The A**hole?’ gameshow based on famous subreddit
  • He just hosts stuff these days. He's not terrible but I don't know what he really brings.

    Leech Woman

    Many years ago, back in the 90s, I grabbed a t-shirt to wear to go to work without thinking much of it.

    It was a band t-shirt for Leech Woman who I'd seen at a gig a month or two before. Black, long sleeve, band logo and some kind of indistinct image in white. I hadn't really paid attention to the image at the time, just had a blast at the gig and wanted to support them which is why I bought it.

    Anyway, at lunchtime one of my team said: "Have you seen your t-shirt?"

    When I actually looked at it, the indistinct image turned out to be the naked torso of a woman with a strap-on dildo. You can see the image in the video.

    Fortunately, I was the boss of that team, so I just hid from my boss for the rest of the day and never wore the t-shirt to work again.

    Anyhoo.

    Distro for a Lenovo ThinkCentre Tiny PC

    I've recently picked up a secondhand Lenovo ThinkCentre Tiny PC which ultimately I plan to use as a home server for a variety of functions (media server being the main one) but I don't need to use it as a main desktop.

    It currently has Windows 10 installed. It has a decent sized SSD but no optical drive. I want to install a suitable Linux distro on it. What's a good Linux distro for my needs? And what's the best way of doing a scorched earth on the Windows install and replacing it with said distro?

    I'm not entirely a Linux noob - I used to work on Xenix and later Red Hat Linux, but that was 30 and 20 years ago respectively!

    Knife sharpening and repair services

    My kitchen knives have got to the point where daily honing or stropping no longer gets them as sharp as I'd like. I can sharpen them myself on whetstones but don't have the free time to sort out a dozen or so knives.

    Additionally I have a chef's knife that's absolutely buggered (it was my mothers, she tried to cut a frozen salmon with it, buckled the edge, chipped the edge, and then dropped it on the floor, in surprise, and bent the tip). It has little monetary value but huge sentimental value (she died during the COVID years and this was her favourite knife).

    How have people found knife sharpening and repair services? Ideally UK based, with actual recommendations, but I'm open to experiences from further afield.

    Many thanks, in advance!

    From science-fiction to the real world, flying cars are here - but could the concept actually take off?

    When will news media stop falling for this shit?

    Oh, yes, when it stops generating clicks. I am part of the problem.

    Best ever burger?

    Since I discovered Oklahoma onion burgers I’ve cooked nothing else (I mean I’ve cooked other things but no other kind of burger). So much flavor.

    So, is there a better burger anywhere? Anyone?

    Anonymous Gifts

    This year, like every year, I have spunked a truly obscene amount of money away on anonymous Valentine’s gifts.

    If you have received an anonymous card or gift, it’s pretty safe to say I sent it. I don’t want thanks, I just love to bring a little love and joy into the world.

    You’re all welcome.
