The gentleman had made forthright representation that he entertained no romantic inclinations towards the young lady. Yet we observed that he would frequently direct a glance in her direction whenever some dandy or ribald let rip with a pun, cant, parody or other amusing piece of wordplay. We can only presume this was in order to ascertain for himself whether she had found the antic to be an amusing one.

‘vaguely’ is doing a shitload of work in that sentence.

I've recently picked up a secondhand Lenovo ThinkCentre Tiny PC which ultimately I plan to use as a home server for a variety of functions (media server being the main one) but I don't need to use it as a main desktop.

It currently has Windows 10 installed. It has a decent sized SSD but no optical drive. I want to install a suitable Linux distro on it. What's a good Linux distro for my needs? And what's the best way of doing a scorched earth on the Windows install and replacing it with said distro?

I'm not entirely a Linux noob - I used to work on Xenix and later Red Hat Linux, but that was 30 and 20 years ago respectively!

You shouldn't stare too long at this photo with your naked eye or you'll go blind.

My kitchen knives have got to the point where daily honing or stropping no longer gets them as sharp as I'd like. I can sharpen them myself on whetstones but don't have the free time to sort out a dozen or so knives.

Additionally I have a chef's knife that's absolutely buggered (it was my mothers, she tried to cut a frozen salmon with it, buckled the edge, chipped the edge, and then dropped it on the floor, in surprise, and bent the tip). It has little monetary value but huge sentimental value (she died during the COVID years and this was her favourite knife).

How have people found knife sharpening and repair services? Ideally UK based, with actual recommendations, but I'm open to experiences from further afield.

Many thanks, in advance!

When will news media stop falling for this shit?

Oh, yes, when it stops generating clicks. I am part of the problem.

Since I discovered Oklahoma onion burgers I’ve cooked nothing else (I mean I’ve cooked other things but no other kind of burger). So much flavor.

So, is there a better burger anywhere? Anyone?

This year, like every year, I have spunked a truly obscene amount of money away on anonymous Valentine’s gifts.

If you have received an anonymous card or gift, it’s pretty safe to say I sent it. I don’t want thanks, I just love to bring a little love and joy into the world.

You’re all welcome.

It's been at least three months since I wrapped up my Kamado Joe, and longer since I posted a cook. I'm hoping this year I might get around to a proper outdoor kitchen and will be able to cook in all weather.

How about the rest of you? Does anyone brave the elements in winter?

If I've learned anything from the interweb it's that having a big, public hissy-fit about something definitely makes everyone stop talking about it.

There once was a bard from Japan
Whose limericks never would scan
When told this was so
He replied, 'Yes, I know"
"But I always try and fit as many words into the last line as I possibly can."

This feels cyberpunk. Some netrunner will hack the system and give free meals away because fuck the corpos, right?

I’m guessing it was Wargames.

Did they at least take a photo of the package having been successfully delivered into the ocean?
