Yep, inspect is normally £20-£40, they give you the cost of repair and it stays at that cost. If they discover yet another problem, they don’t force you to undergo the repair.

It is permitted for non-certified (MOT) cars to go to and from a mechanic so you can space out repairs over a month or more if needed.

Source: my friend bought a decades old Volvo so he tends to have LOTS of trouble keeping it in a reasonable state on his general wages.

Even as a (tech literate) teacher who wants to employ Linux, the lack of compatibility (using wine) with a lot of enterprise type programs and the general hodgepodge that Libre Office is, and the memory leak mess that Only Office is, I just can’t stick to Linux for long. I end up using tiny10 to use a reliable unbloated windows that can run my office 2016 and enterprise apps. Microsoft is just so entrenched and heavily serviced by thousands of people that it’s a slow climb for Linux distros to get anywhere.

The idea of elderly people using windows only programs on Linux using the compatibility layer just seems to liable to multiple potential failures.

Yeah they actually ripped down the previous London Bridge for some reason and replaced it with this monstrosity which is more associated with the terrorist attack. Tower Bridge just looks better.

It’s like an animal instinct of the family: ‘you can’t reproduce, the get out!’

Not only that but that the energy from the nutrients generated in a plant is solely used for cell growth and maintenance. Even remotely suggesting a self-warming and extremely kinetic mammal can get energy solely from the sun is nuts.

Reading up on the GitHub page, it has a few concerning WIPs. Might not be worth swapping to a different DE.

I love how this chart is going to update every year.

I understand your concern. I wouldn’t be criticising their spelling in the main body of the post, but at the very least they should be spell checking the title. An occasional typo is usually forgiving but if the Lemmy feed is showing a post with many spelling mistakes it’s not going to go down well.

Learning spelling and ensuring it is correct is part of learning a language.

If I was posting in a Chinese forum, I would be very careful to ensure the Chinese characters are correct. Differences in minor radicals can make all the difference, e.g. 慢 and 漫 are distinctively different words. It’s a different kind of spell checking.

Half your posts are specific questions to a specific game which could be answered by searching Google. Such posts do not promote open discussion.

And you might need to check your spelling a bit.

If you had a post like ‘I really love Red Dead Redemption 2 (note spelling is correct here) for (insert mission here)’, other Lemmy users might chime in with their own favourites.

So you need to curate your posts a bit. Maybe stick to commenting for the time being.

Be yourself, children will get past your facade and your inhibitions when you realise it.

I’ve sometimes behaved as if I don’t give a shit and they still trigger me in the right direction to make me goofy.

So based on other comments here, the delicious recipe for brisket is:

1. Bathe the brisket in copious brine.
2. Place in an oven on low heat on timer for 300 years.
3. Ensure that during this time the brisket is pounded by gamma radiation continuously.

Did they reach a conclusion or still ongoing?

I mean it makes sense because it needs to be bright in daylight.

In China people are pretty honest about it being the time of the month or trying for a baby. As a father myself, my friend and colleague just told me they were trying. I just never went through the experience of ‘trying’. My wife and I just conceived randomly and immediately we went ‘Yes let’s keep it!’ No regrets.

Building on their comment, perhaps the capacitor is building up energy and dissipates it every 20 seconds. Like beats in resonance when you hear a pulsing in the volume when a guitar plays a single note or chord.

And it’s easy to lose the routine and gets even harder to start again.

I think he ought to have said 4 and then pause. Took me a while to figure this one out!

First thought: Stagtown.

This is what I involuntarily picture when a couple tell me.
