Sorry, my bad. I found my old 486 PC in my parent's attic recently, and started planning to get it running again

Fuck me, you're a moron.

'Hey, you with the chronic illness! Why didn't you try not to get sick?'

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) was apparently doing this a few years ago. They would book people in for appointments in an upstairs room and put out of order signs on the lifts. Anyone who made it to the room was automatically denied their benefits.

I say apparently because I didn't personally know anyone who went through that one. The office that I had to visit had a car park, but no spaces near the door. I was dropped off by the door while my wife parked the car, but another person drove themselves and walked from the car. Their claim was denied, based on the distance they walked.

Yes, that's what it does by default. The problem happens when you open a new tab to search for something, for example, and the update screen and restart distract you and you forget what you were going to search for. It's like the feeling you get when you walk into a room and can't remember why.

I just pulled my back and broke my hips reading this, it made me feel so old 👴🏻

Why is apple a bad idea? Apple with pork and cheese is delicious :)

I commented on the last post about this, the three stars are difficult to make out on a small screen, they look like a blurry capital A. On top of that, it's apparently used in astronomy to represent clusters of stars, like a constellation.

The whole point of this campaign appears to be to replace a unique symbol with one that's already in use and is hard to read at small sizes 🤷🏻‍♂️

Emojis evolved from the smileys we had in the late 90s, which were mostly yellow, but could be in various colours, like red for the angry face. Those smileys evolved from the text versions like these :) or :D

'Captain, scanners detect Palpatine on their bridge'

'Chief O'Brien, program a quantum torpedo with a two second timer and beam it three decks below their bridge'

'A quantum torpedo Captain?'

'You're right Chief! It's a Tuesday.'

'Sir?'

'Send two!'

I haven't used it properly yet, but Goblin Tools is good for breaking down tasks into easier to manage pieces

In fairness, if I was locked in a box all day, I wouldn't want to do coke either. Take the mice to a club and see if they stick to the sugar then ;)

That's the other side of the confusion. You build houses out of sticks and paper, and live in somewhere called Tornado Alley...
