The recently released Gran Turismo 4 Spec II is pretty fantastic as well!

The learning cliff of the X games is pretty intense but totally worth it. I made it through and just look at me now! I, err… wasn’t going to do anything better with those hundreds of hours anyway.

Thank you for detailing this. I’m no fan of OSX or Apple the company but the quality of their laptop hardware is undeniable. They’re really good at it.

We definitely have blackberries. We don’t really have blackcurrants though, may be thinking of that?

They’re significantly faster than boiling water on the stove here in the US too.

I have an electric kettle because I’m a tea drinker. Not gonna lie though, it did take a while before I realized I could just generally boil water in the thing. One day, looking directly at the kettle while I filled a pot with water, the dusty light bulb in my head finally lit up. 😅

The inhouse tooling from the massive tech companies is very cool but I always wonder how that impacts transferrable skills.

Physically covering the left side with a finger and I can now see the old woman. Fucking finally. Thank you!

Once I’m in the air my backpack goes from under the seat to under my knees. Then I can stick my feet under the seat for that extra few inches of stretch. It’s not a whole lot but it does help.

This looks like grub2-mkconfig was run with the output mistakenly set to /etc/default/grub. Someone ran

grub2-mkconfig -o /etc/default/grub

Instead of

grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

I like how that article has zero data, just a couple anecdotes from French people who don’t seem to like America.
