Could just rejoin the EU

Yes I have an hp elitedesk mini 800 something G2 which is small (like a thin client), runs kubuntu just fine and can do everything you are asking for. I have a logitech k400 wireless keyboard and trackpad to control it

This got me. I noped out of the article because of it

Nostalgia Nerd did quite a long video on this

Garmin?

N/L are “reversed” on the UK BS1363 standard vs US/EU Earthed plugs. By having two sets of N/L you can ensure that they are always correctly wired.

This is often why some adaptors seem to be “upside down”

Most devices can handle N/L being swapped, though.

Technically surtitles?

I always knew it as “the beef walk”

No idea where the term “Engine Topper” is from but I assure you it’s called a Head Gasket in the UK…

I really want to get one of those but I’m worried about banking apps…do they have a workaround?

Are bell peppers in Japan Blue?

Likewise interested to know how they compare. I have a now ancient pair of QC 35 IIs and they were replaced under warranty from original QC35s - sadly the charging connector now has a fault where something in the circuitry stays active, the charging light stays on all the time and it drains the battery quite quickly compared to how it used to. It’s not the power switch. Just one board as a spare part is very expensive so I just live with reduced battery life.

I guess that’s the faults these should solve - if a replacement connector or board is sensibly priced then you’d fix them rather than having to manage as-is, or worse, recycling.

Some lines are being reopened slowly. It’s a little progress at least :)

If you need to use adb to set a flag once that’s not too bad I suppose…

It’s operated by GTR, same as Southern, Thaneslink, Great Northern….

So May next year I think that ends.

I can’t see it being removed before then, since it’s presumably quite lucrative for GTR

Would be amazing to see the x86 “Star Trek” System 7 port, if it actually exists… or the early (pre 10.4) intel versions, which we know exist.

Baking is a big one yes. Not just American recipes - old British ones too. And there are various useful estimations you can use too; one egg is about an ounce. Three ounces each of flour, sugar, butter plus three eggs makes a pretty good Victoria sponge which fits nicely in a 12cm baking tin.

The madness continues

The UK….yeah

Distance in miles but fuel in litres so miles per gallon figures that we are given are basically just a scale to compare against other cars.

Except on our roads some things are actually in metric, like if a sign says “100 yards” that’s actually 100 meters, since it was the first step in converting everything to metric (which we appear to have given up on)

Beer and milk are in Pints…but some places now do milk in litres.

Shops must sell loose items in metric, but are also allowed to sell them in imperial

I grew up being taught in both, but was told that metric was the future so not to worry too much about imperial, so I confuse the number of ounces in a pound quite often, amongst other things

Where I work, the vast majority of things are metric…except very old drawings, which sometimes use yards.

Honestly I would prefer we just switch to metric and stay there, but the road sign argument is “cost” and even 20 years ago that was quite valid.

And if you’re travelling further out, you can change back onto the Bakerloo line at Baker Street.

That doesn’t make sense.

The whole article is very badly written. Seems like it’s either AI or someone who doesn’t understand London.

The BBC article is better:
