Installing tuned-ppd (I think I’ve got that right) fixes this for a lot of people

…Twelve yards long, two lanes wide, sixty five tons of American pride…

Oh wow, that must have been amazing. I only saw it when the BBC broadcast it. But I don’t think I’ve ever been so moved by a science documentary.

• The Farthest (about NASA’s Voyager missions)
• Hurt Locker Hero / The Deminer (about Fakhir Berwari, a bomb disposal expert who disarmed thousands of landmines in Iraq with just a pocket knife and a pair of wire clippers)
• The Devil We Know (tells the story of DuPont’s decades-long cover-up of the harm caused by chemicals used to make its popular non-stick Teflon products)

All three are very good, very moving documentaries.

I’ve never been banned from Reddit even temporarily, I just like Lemmy more

We came, we saw, we kicked its ass!

If there’s a steady paycheck in it, I’ll believe anything you say

Janine, someone with your qualifications would have no trouble finding a top-flight job in either the food service or housekeeping industries.

Ghostbusters:

• Back off man - I’m a scientist 
• Listen! You smell something?
• What about the Twinkie?
• Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!
• Yes it’s true, this man has no dick
• Ok, so… she’s a dog
• When someone asks you if you’re a god, you say yes!
• Aim for the flat top!
• Cross the streams

…and much much more

We’ve taken way too many things that don’t need to be plastic and made them plastic

• Just Cause 3
• Fallout 3
• Fallout 4
• Train Simulator Classic
• Gato Roboto
• Minit
• Cult Of The Lamb
• Divinity: Original Sin

I wanted to give OpenSuse Tumbleweed a go yesterday, but the live USB got stuck at “Loading basic drivers” so I couldn’t even get to being able to install it.

Leasehold is basically buying a property without actually truly owning it.

You “buy” a flat, but you’re actually only buying the lease to live there. Not that any single person ever lives long enough for this to happen, but technically if you lived there 99 years it would then revert to belonging to the freeholder and you’d be left with nothing.

In reality, anything below 80 years is seen as problematic and you have to renew the lease before then, at great cost.

If a lease does fall below 80 years, the costs for renewal get increasingly absurd.

I guess nothing’s changed then haha. I have a 2015 LCD Bravia. No longer my main TV, but it’s been awesome.

But the delay between turning it on and being able to switch inputs… Jesus.

These two are exactly what I use on iOS also

This is the truest animal comic since “No take!! Only throw“

Elf.

Once you’ve seen the first 3 minutes and get the premise, then the entire rest of the film is so predictable in its jokes and situations that I derived absolutely zero pleasure from watching it and it just grated the entire way through.

Films can be funny because the initial premise leads to really entertaining, unexpected or clever situations… or a film can super straight up and shallow in its humour.

I really don’t get why Elf is so incredibly popular.

My 2012 MacBook Pro has exactly the opposite behaviour on a clean install across multiple distros. The brightness keys do nothing until after a suspend, then work fine until the next reboot. Never found a fix.

Yeah, I was a huge fan of that person going to that length, and saying they’d argued with their girlfriend about it, haha
