Stands out from the norm with a nom.

It’s easier to pronounce than Alludium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator.

Now I’m picturing the hand asking how many fingers it’s holding up.

Faulty electric blanket.

Or a middle aged smoker.

It’s embarrassing that the paper uses the name of our country but gives crap like that.

Reminds me of the old Tom Lehrer joke:
“…a story about a young necrophiliac who finally achieves his boyhood ambition by becoming coroner.
… The rest of you can look it up when you get home.”

None, eight and one.
- Comment on What was the first game you ever bought ? 1 month ago:
Thanks. Thirteen years ago now. I read that 2/3rds of cancers are genetic, so I don’t have survivor’s guilt. My now wife and I still play daily.

I was referring to the bucket woman’s sister, but this will do.

I must be old. Sometimes I need sleep.
- Comment on Every time I open the news 2 months ago:
I opened Facebook. Pit of rage bait mixed with articles designed to look like someone’s asking what something is when really it’s just engagement bait.
So closed it and back to Summit.

Is this organic or engineered?
- Comment on Save as PDF 2 months ago:
So that the recipient can’t tell it was an image I pasted onto the pdf instead of a page I printed, signed, then scanned in again.
- Comment on Save as PDF 2 months ago:
Still using it today whenever I need to flatten a PDF with my scanned signature.
- Comment on Starlink updates Privacy Policy to allow AI model training with personal data 3 months ago:
Hmm. Managed to get Wireguard to connect to my VPS, but that kills AdGuard. Phone is unusable without AdGuard. WG Tunnel app crashes when opening so guess I’m stuck for now. Need the latter to chain VPN and AdGuard.
- Comment on Starlink updates Privacy Policy to allow AI model training with personal data 3 months ago:
What useful information do they get from users?
Are they just referring to personal data when you sign up, or are they using deep packet inspection to see where their customers are browsing?
- Comment on Nova Launcher unashamedly inserts malware ads into your home screen now. 3 months ago:
I agree it isn’t great. But I don’t want to be in the abusive relationship with Microsoft. Yes I could probably just turn off the deep search option but they’ll just do something else.
Maybe there’s a better option than FUTO, it’s just the first thing I saw as a recommended alternative.
It seems if I swype carefully it’s reasonably accurate but I have to be patient.
- Comment on Nova Launcher unashamedly inserts malware ads into your home screen now. 3 months ago:
My vote still for total launcher.
This post has just reminded me to change from Microsoft keyboard to FUTO. I wasn’t worried about the data harvesting, but it started redirecting my searches to Bing by hijacking the search button on the keyboard.
I’m 30% slower with FUTO though at this stage. Not sure if it’s my swype style being slightly out of calibration or my device is not fast enough to keep up. (Moto g84).
Will see how I get on.

Never found that one.
Back then I was a dialup ISP I used to host network games of Quake 1 with my customers. At the peak though we found the Xylogics Remote Annex couldn’t handle it, and it rebooted mid game.

Used to love going to the console in quake 1 and setting gravity to 1. Each jump and you could hit the roof.
