I guess, remember that whatever it is didn’t happen to several billion other people. It can be hard to switch off empathy.

Also understand that the human brain is a complex thing, and if parts of it are physically broken or missing, the person might not be able to control of what they’re doing.

Thought it might have been related to Goon Bags - cask wine in Austraila.

Boxing Helena.

It was at a friend’s place. It was gruesome.

Imagine falling in love with the Black Knight and cutting all the limbs off so you can keep it in a box.

Asus F555D - 12G RAM, AMD R8 M350DX GPU and a sticker that says Radeon Dual Graphics. That’s probably what was tripping up the system booting to a black screen.

Baah. KBIN just ate my reply.

Point form since I forgot to save to clipboard first.

Tried mint - booted to black screen
Tried ubuntu - got silly crashes like in the post trying to install stuff. It also wanted me to sign up for some sort of support package with 5 free devices to get updates or something. Also, trackpad scrolling was uncontrollable. Would scroll up half a screen or more as I lifted my fingers off.
Tried fedora - only 100% and 200% zoom option, and no right click.

Managed to fix the fedora issues with some command line found on Google and a gnome customising addon.

n00b here, just playing. Can’t migrate fully as I need VBA and Playit Live etc.

I only saw ASL twice. Memories of mIRC on a monochrome laptop.

and bacon.

Aussie slang for a hot Barbecue Chicken from a supermarket - typically sold in a plastic carrier bag. Classed as the Bachelor’s handbag as it is not uncommon for a single guy to buy one as a meal.

Magnifying Glass + Ant = unhappy ant.
Eyeball + Sun = Magnifying Glass + Ant
= unhappy ant.

Sun to the power of ant = magnifying glass.
Ant to the power of sun = unhappy ant.
Error: Used ant twice.

RiF reaching senility.

Came to /kbin first, and still here sometimes but Voyager wins on my phone after Neurospicy Artemis disappeared.

My dog and cat love a good Bachelor’s Handbag every few days. I’d happily have those pretty regularly, although they don’t seem to keep you full for long.

I admin our small town’s most active Facebook group, so I have to hang around for that.

WhatsApp for tech support.

Now I’m a bit sad. A part of my childhood has died. bash.org.

I know there was one where someone was typing on IRC while driving his truck, and ends his quote with “fuck just rear ended a lady” but no way to find that quote directly now.

That was years ago, before smart phones I think.

Try converting to MP3 first if using Audacity: https://www.neowin.net/software/file-converter-universal-right-click-media-converter/

MP3DirectCut - https://mpesch3.de/ - might also suit. I use it a lot for community radio stuff as it doesn’t have to pre-load the entire file, making extracting interviews from the MP3 log files a very quick process. Cue the file, B for begin, N for end, File, Save selection, done.

Star Wars - the one where R2D2 gets zapped by Sand People and falls over with a comical thud.

Haven’t seen it for yonks, but enjoy it when I do.

I still remember a Ben Elton skit where he mentions 'Findus - Meals for one. Lonely Bastard range."

From memory you were to get two so the checkout person thought you had company.

I have a similar caddy. Many years old now. The connection to the host computer is a USB-A female, so connecting it requires a male to male cable.

What did Ford do?

Makes a change from cd-rom drives back in the day…
