rmuk,

The industry standard term for it is the Thipple.

rmuk,

If you live in the UK, Lidl sells an excellent cola called Freeway. Their Freeway Zero is better than Pepsi Max or Coke Zero, IMHO, and literally one-fifth the price.

rmuk,

I prefer a running shower but you do you.

Oh my god it’s dickvamblerAU. Can you say “boop” for me?

Then it initiates false vacuum decay. The perfect end.

rmuk, (edited )

Just goes to show how your prejudices affect your judgement without you realising. I just assumed everyone’s skeleton was a perfect sphere one unit in diameter and mass, at rest, on a perfectly level, frictionless, infinite plane and in a vacuum. Like mine.

rmuk,

Serious question: what’s the loop on the right for? No way anyone’s fitting their balls through that.

rmuk,

Thing is: I really, really, really do want voting reform but… I don’t think I can bring myself to support Nigel Fárage.

rmuk,

Try too think more carefully in case you make a comment that’s to controversial.

rmuk,

What if I want other people to fight me?

rmuk,

I shidded and farded.

rmuk,

I’m sure it won’t just be anot- why, you little scamp!

rmuk,

Not to be confused with Esteemed Character Actress Margo Martindale?

rmuk,

To dip the rotisserie chicken in. Obvs.

rmuk,

They also do a non-Pro version but it can only polish at one-tenth the speed.

rmuk,

But how will this affect the stock markets?

rmuk,

Here we see a specialist performing cutting-edge research, pushing back the limits on collecting lava with ever-daintier little buckets. Experts predict that by 2035 the bucket may be carried on the pinkie and have a flower painted on it.

Be honest, do you still use reddit?

I used to check the front page at least once every day, and occassionally check specific subreddits. Now I don’t look at reddit unless theres some drama, like mods getting purged, then I’d go there and enjoy the drama. Occasionally there will be questions that only reddit has the answer to so I have to reluctantly use it. I...

rmuk,

No. I went cold turkey in mid-June. I logged back in last week to use Power Delete Suite to automatically edit every post and comment I ever made to this and then deleted my account.

I’ll still use Reddit read-only and with cookies blocked if I stumble upon (ahahaha) it through a search or something.

rmuk,

Sure, I agree. My point is that instead of focusing on the Raspberry Pi specifically, I wish we highlighted that these things could be done better on general-purpose computers - maybe even general-purpose computers stuffed in a cupboard and forgotten about - rather than one specific device (which may not be a good fit) from one specific manufacturer (even one as laudable as the RPF).

rmuk,

IMHO, part of the problem is the people buying RasPis don't need them. Look at the number of articles with titles like "Host Your Own Web Server On A Raspberry Pi" or "Automate Your Home With a Raspberry Pi". I love the Raspberry Pi, but I think that most of the people who buy them are just using them as Linux boxes and they'd be much better off buying a second-hand USFF PC instead.

rmuk,

I never really thought of old laptops, to be honest, that's an interesting take. But with regards to cost, a RasPi 4B with 4GB RAM costs £50 in the UK. Factor in the cost of an SD card, power supply and basic case and it's easy to see that pushing £100. Meanwhile £80 will get you a more powerful USFF (this was the first result on EBay UK: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/255874880392 ) which will be a better server, emulation machines, media centre, or general-purpose desktop PC than a Pi.
