My Linux is on a separate hard drive.

Never mind that, Windows 10 did an update a couple of days ago, and now my dual boot screen has gone. I literally can't start my Linux Mint anymore, it boots straight to Windows :(

There is a way to get it back with the command line, but my computer nerd days are over.

I'm assuming that command needs to be edited to whatever my setup is, I have no idea.

Not shopped, unless NYP did it themselves.

Before the Ukraine invasion, I used to be able to do my weekly shop for under a fiver. Maybe £8ish if I was stocking up on store cupboard stuff. It's more than doubled since then.

As a second gen Indian in the UK, so much of my family's dishes are based on sauces with tomatoes and chilli, many of them have potato. But none of these are actually native to India, these would have been brought over after the colonialisation of the Americas.

My fella found this talk useful. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gnSEbLX94Tk He used to smoke the mild stuff (low THC), but it's the cigarettes he's been struggling with. He's on his third attempt, but after using the technique (TL;DW: your brain doesn't understand negative commands, replace it with a positive command. Instead of "I need a joint", try "I need air" or "I need clarity" or whatever feeling you're aiming for) he's feeling a lot more positive that he'll stick with it this time. I tried to get him to read the Allen Carr stuff, but he's not much of a reader. Other people swear by it though. It's available on a certain library beginning with z if you want to give it a taster. Also learning a new skill can give you the same dopamine hit that your addiction does, so take up a hobby, learn a language, etc.

Good luck!

I actively used it to backup my art files onto USB, up until last year when it kept giving me error messages when I tried to update it, so I thought, screw it, manual drag and drop. I'm not sure if the amount or size of files got too big for it. Up till then, it was great for backups as it would automatically detect what had been updated and only transfer those files.

Same, I tried ecosia too, only to get the same error.

My nephew has moss growing out of his bike saddle.

My old Lenovo tablet has the USB port upside down on the plug, and consequently, the micro USB also plugs into the tablet upside down. And for some reason, stupid thing always breaks the little notches on the micro USB, so you have to position everything in a way so that it won't slide out while charging.
