All fair points for a motorway/highway/freeway/whatever. I’d mistakenly thought the previous post was referring to a smaller local road with a 55mph limit.

I don’t really care so much about what speed people do on motorways, but I have a massive problem with people doing 40-60mph in a 20-30mph limit residential area. Bear in mind where I live in the UK, the cars are driving 2 metres from the front door of everyone’s houses.

Not personally, no - but the police would only need to catch a handful each day to get things moving a little more safely in the area.

Why don’t they confiscate driving licences and imprison all the criminals who are driving 20-25mph dangerously over the limit?

Having read that, yes :)

Hahaha.

I used to have a home office room, and I bought and installed a whiteboard on the wall, for noting things down, planning, to-do list etc.

For five years, it had a single scrap of paper blue-tacked to it, which read “1) Buy a whiteboard pen”.

I eventually solved it by moving house.

I think it only works if your brain is wired in a particular way.

Tons of open browser tabs? Long, impossible-to-complete to-do list? Unread emails? Unplayed Steam Games?

Good chance of it working :)

When I wanted to stop smoking, the idea of never smoking again would make me stressed and make me want to smoke.

The solution was I put “have a cigarette” on my to-do list, at the bottom.

So I never quit smoking, I’m definitely going to have a cigarette at some point, when I get round to it - just after I’ve re-tiled the bathroom, wrote a novel, made a computer game, taught the cat to play piano, finished a series of 100 paintings, wrote an album of songs etc…

… so it’s over ten years since I last had a cigarette, and there’s only a thousand or so things to do on my to-do list.

They exist. Go on a Steam discussions page for a popular game that doesn’t currently support Linux, and create a new post politely asking about the possibility of Linux support.

I think everyone’s got the CAD/3D programs covered, so a slightly “out there” answer:

If you’re just doing 2D blueprints for yourself, do you actually just need a 2D vector program for doing a scale drawing with measurements?

I’ve done a lot of floorplans / layouts/ site maps etc using Inkscape, for instance.

It depends on exactly what you’re wanting out the other end - so you may be lacking a lot of the features in a full CAD program, but the learning curve is comparatively so shallow that you might have a working plan by the end of the day, rather than the end of the month.

And rightly so. We just call them “serial ports” these days.

Many sprawling dungeon owners require regular deliveries of cheese wheels, ham legs and apples, to store on the numerous treasure chests spread around the different floors of their dungeons.

They’re meant to be part of the subsidised dungeon canteen offer arranged by the Dungeon Workers Trade Union, but selfish adventurers keep coming in and pilfering them.

It depends where it was in the country. Even now, after fast travel, radio, television etc, you can still get completely different vowels within 100 miles.

If I took the word “road” and travelled 100 miles either North/South/East/West, I could find it pronounced (as it would sound to me) as reud, raad, rird or roud.

You can only use Apple Branded iSocks™.

If you want to use normal socks you need an adapter.

Yes, a good reasonable name like draft-final-final-final-final_v2_to_print_THIS_ONE_b

Sorry, I’m not American, and I’ve likely only seen it on Lemmy, and likely in satirical forms.

Anyway, I’ve read the other linked info and a bit more, so at least feel I do know now :)

I’m also not a youth, but I’ll absolutely take that as a compliment, thank you very much :D

What what what?!? The “Tread harder, daddy” snake is based on a real thing?!?

The American Right-Wing Christians don’t seem to care for Jesus - they appear to pretty much ignore everything in the New Testament because it’s “lefty and woke”. They do seem to like the Old Testament bits where you kill/enslave/rape/rob people who are weaker or slightly different from you.

I guess it’s meant to make him look like a King or Emperor on a coin - so it doesn’t matter if he looks like a multi-chinned potato in a wig, he looks like King multi-chinned potato in a wig.

Sorry I wasn’t clear about that - my replaced ones have never come off again - it’s the original ones on the shirt which tend to.

[Edit] Note that I am always wearing a shirt, and much of my work is manual/technical, so mine perhaps get knocked off a bit more frequently than others might.

Yeah, it totally makes sense for some uses.
