Linux runs steam and many of games run through WINE.
I made it home safely. I’m actually pretty functional behind the wheel of the car. I can order food, talk to people, operate computers, so I can function if forced to. In a way, that’s kind of scarier.
I’m not trying to undermine your confidence but distress is distracting, it alters your brain chemistry. It’s not as dangerous as drink driving but it will lower your usual levels of decision making by heightening the fight or flight response. It’s the adrenaline. So seriously consider moving to a dumb phone and if things are really tense leave the car parked over night and use public transport. Even if you feel you can drive.
I for one am glad you are writing this. It must be very difficult and bizarre for you fathom let alone explain. On the surface an addiction to watching anything would sound silly compared to a substance abuse problem. Addiction to porn would be easier to fathom. That it is an addiction to theological discussion videos and it’s clearly having such a debilitating effect on you would be something I would find difficult to explain to a stranger. That you are and so eloquently is an astounding testament to the human capacity to survive even the strangest of maladies. I would recommend you transfer your phone sim to a dumb phone. Having easy access to these films is leaving you open to indulge these impulses on the go. I am concerned that your emotional state in these circumstances coupled with use of a car could end in possible tragedy. If your phone has no video capabilities you will have to come home to abibe your urge to watch these films and you will not be emotionally vulnerable in a public place.
So I says to my mate, ‘Did you steal this tea?’
He looks a bit funny at me and says, ‘Nope, why?’
‘Well’, says I, ‘It’s got a really good flavour, tastes really nice.’
‘OK, thanks’, says he, ‘but why did you ask me if I stole it?’
‘Well’, says I, ‘didn’t you know that all proper tea is theft?’
I want 30 pervy sex tips. I want them here and I want them now! The nozzle has gone on mine.
Not at all. Anxiety and new medication can play havoc on your appetite and your ‘bathroom experiences’. Some medication also requires food to work so even if you don’t feel up to it keep eating unless directed otherwise. I’m glad you are not allowing yourself to dehydrate. It’s very important for your general health, especially when it’s hot outside.
In Soviet Microsoft, Windows installs you.
That’s great news, Bingo!
It looks like he has had a mini-stroke as he has a weakness on his right side but he can speak (albeit sounding understandably tired) they will keep in for a while to gauge his ability to cope and hopefully he will be back home in a couple of weeks.
I’ll pop down to England to see him and the family.
Just been talking to his benefactor who now lives in Australia.
Modern technology can be a pain in the arse but it is amazing that I can chat to someone in the Czech Republic and someone in Australia from Scotland about the health of a man in an Indian hospital who normally lives in England.
Looking forward to looping my space chums into the network.
To prefigure the Culture Club gag in TRA the end theme could be The War Song.

The video has a strangely PT crapiness about it.
At least it’s not Pwoverlaktek
Linux has applications for just about anything. What are you looking for?
An altered perception of reality is no reality.
Seeing as all perceptions of reality are filtered and fractional in theory getting another slant on it could be functional and practical. The only problems come when the delivery method is physically or psychologically dangerous.
How is your physical health? Is your blood pressure being measured? You have been finding food unenjoyable but are you still forcing yourself to eat healthy food and drink enough fluids?
Sorry
At least it’s not Kondomm.
The candy colored sandman really should bring soap.
It’s weird to not be dead. You end up walking around old buildings not scaring people.
You’re a terrible person. Congratulations.
No.
I’m your conscience.
His conscience is a prick…?
In the early naughties I would have said Apple was worth the extra cost. My 2002 laptop still works fine. But now I would suggest Linux for coding and Chromebooks for general use. I had to get a laptop with windows installed about a month ago to run course software. It’s a brand new top of the range machine and it’s running windows 10 and the bugger takes forever to get it’s buggy ass into gear. Modern Apple build quality is terrible and overpriced. A hackintosh solution might work with some people but to be honest Chrome or Linux is the answer for most user types.
Whenever this topic comes up, all the Linux people come out of the woodwork to suggest Linux. But in reality, there’s not that much to suggest it. User interface and compatibly are worse, the
applications aren’t there. So there just isn’t enough to make the switch, which could be pretty costly.I think that the computer that most people will be using in the future will not be one like how we think of computers today. There are three main problems with the GUI paradigm of today:
- Management of files
People don’t know how the filesystem works. And when I say filesystem, I mean the hierarchy of files on a disk. Folders, files, saving, etc. This is why I think auto-save in OS X is a great feature. Managing files in a traditional desktop system is burdensome to most users. This is why something like the Chromebook or iPad is better for people.- Management of windows
Most people just full screen them anyway. A full window management system is not required.- General hard-to-use-ness
The traditional GUI has built up so much UI debt that it’s hard and/or bad to remove it. So, to get rid of all this debt, you need to build a whole new system that doesn’t have all the hang ups of the traditional PC. For example, when people update their PCs/Macs, they are always very cautious when doing so. Updating an iOS device is done so almost carelessly. So, needles UI debt should be no more.This is why I’m betting on the iPad for the future of computing. Capital F, Capital C. It removes all of this UI debt in what I see is the best way possible. It’s finally a computer for the rest of us.
Anything you can do on a PC or Mac you can do just as well on a Linux machine with hardly any worries about viruses or malware and with lightning fast speed. It runs on any kind of machine (cheap second hand laptops go like a bomb) and it’s free and won’t spam you for updates you don’t want.
It comes in loads of different styles and shapes and can be made to look whatever way you please.
For your casual net user, office app user etc chromebook is the thing.
Particularly if like my mum your finger tips don’t work so you can’t use a fondle pad.
My pal has regained consciousness and is having come to terms with not being dead.
Because men never get prudish or uptight on here but women almost certainly would? Yeah… have I been eating cheese again?🎅

i crosseth the void beyond the mind
the exsufflicate space yond circles timeth
i seeth wh’re oth’rs stumble blindeth
to seeketh a sooth those gents nev’r findeth
et’rnal wisdom is mine own guideth
i am the doct’r
through cosmic wasteth mine own timeth ship flies
to gust the secret source of life
a presence science can’t deny
exists within, outside, behind
the latitude of human minds
i am the doct’r
mine own voyage dissects the course of timeth
“who knoweth?,” thee sayeth
but art thee right?
who is’t searches deep to findeth the lighteth
yond glows so darkly in the night
toward yond pointeth i guideth mine own flight
as fing’rs moveth to endeth mankind
metallic teeth beginneth their grindeth
with sw’rd of sooth i turneth to square
the satanic pow’rs ever there
is thy faith bef’re thy mind?
knoweth me
am i the doct’r?
I thought I was more of an implement, an ancient and versatile agricultural hand tool used to shape the soil, control weeds, clear soil, and harvest root crops that sort of thing but dirty and unpleasant.
