Rest assured that they've already had that idea a dozen times already, and if they thought they could make it stick, they would have done so by now.
Mental health problems by any chance? He may need more help than family can provide if you want him to get back on his feet (and out the door).
It would be a good sign if he seems like he wants to get his own place again, even if he's not able to make steps towards it.
Source: I'd probably be in the same boat if the laws and property upkeep rules were stricter here. Even so, I'd be wanting to get out of family accommodation ASAP. My family are good people, but I can't spend long periods with them. There might be a hint or two in that somewhere.
(But whatever you do, please don't fail to be kind.)
Pegasus be like: Problem?
Most of the old buildings (usually churches / cathedrals) here have been built upon and changed over the centuries so what you see above ground is still old, but it's not - at least comparatively - ancient.
I'm in England. I may or may not be in a town that has something like that, but even the places that don't have something are within a couple of hours' drive of somewhere that does.
I will say that where I am is listed in the Domesday book, but that isn't saying much to be fair.
Sounds like a job for a USB trial run on a rainy weekend when you're not doing anything else.
Nvidia supply OEM drivers for the Debian family (Debian, Ubuntu, Mint), if not others, assuming the open-source drivers don't cut it for you. Microcode updates are released for both Intel and AMD.
You'll probably run into issues with some games. Things are getting better on Linux, slowly and steadily, but many games are written specifically for Windows with no Linux port available. Steam's store, for example, shows which games are SteamOS compatible, which usually means they'll run on Linux too.
For other games it's worth checking the Internet - e.g. www.protondb.com to see if anyone else has a particular game running under Linux. You're probably aware that there are programs that attempt to provide some layer of Windows behaviour that form part of the solution. Some of the solutions may or may not involve command line use.
How about, I don't know, not yanking the cord (or setting things up so the cord is yanked automatically) and pursuing the payment later?
But then that could mean that someone might - even temporarily - get something for nothing, and they can't be seen to promote anything even remotely similar to that.
Perhaps this tiny company are so close to the knife edge that they can't afford to allow it to happen. Must have constant revenue stream or else close up sho... wait, Micro-who?
nano
with the new, alternative "GUI editor standard" keybinds or the old pico
ones?
How it became the most prominent conspiracy theory is wild to me.
Every word in "Jet fuel can't melt steel beams" is a single syllable. Very easy to rattle around in an empty head. I mean, heck, it's still rattling around in mine...
There used to be a joke in Russia called "China's final warning" because of the hundreds of times China used to threaten a "final warning" to whoever it perceived (correctly or otherwise) as encroaching on its politics or territories, and then promptly did absolutely nothing.
The joke is in danger of defecting and getting a new name.
If dealing with a small bunch of nutters was so easy, the Troubles wouldn't have been quite so troubling, now, would they?
This would just be the same thing but with a different bunch of nutters.
I have to wonder if the potential for accidentally falling out of a window goes any way into affecting the way he approaches certain debts.
There are devices that literally shake the bed to wake up a sleeper. Most often used by deaf or hard-of-hearing people for whom audio alarms are non-starters, but it could work for you if you're actually sleeping through and not snoozing. There are a few that work on smells as well.
Or any of the churches that have kept Christmas where the Julian calendar had it, which is generally some time in January.
"Hurt me, daddy."
"OK, now you've made it weird."
"Aw yeah, that's the stuff."
HG: "What's that? You're going to put me in a nice warm cell and be required to give me three hots and a cot?"
PO: .oO(Next step. Outlaw human rights.)
Why do you think you wanted to run ELIZA on a Timex/Sinclair 2068?
I finally got the right search term for it to turn up again.
I can't believe you've done this.
I about gave myself an aneurysm deliberately and pedantically (and dare I say, facetiously) trying to parse this as written (lack of punctuation) rather than as intended.
Any such pain is well deserved, of course, but still.
Best guess, something owns or has some oversight of an entire group of human (or at least sentient) control tests (or control testers) that are identified by the letter 'a'.
There is no conclusive evidence that its b control test people are better than its a control test people.
Some middle-aged guy on the Internet. Seen a lot of it, occasionally regurgitating it, trying to be amusing and informative.
Lurked Digg until v4. Commented on Reddit (same username) until it went full Musk.
Was on kbin.social (dying/dead) and kbin.run (mysteriously vanished). Now here on fedia.io.
Really hoping he hasn't brought the jinx with him.
