My local does not do food. But you can bring it in. So that is simply not true.

However, I do know some pubs that have mainly tried to become restaurants.

We once tried to run a small cafe/restaurant, with only about 8-10 tables. And it ultimately failed. After a few months we ended funneling the business to booze and coffee, with as fast a turnover as possible, which was not what the initial place was about. We were an original organic veggie food outlet. Raw ingredients were expensive.

This shattered previous dreams about running my own. But given a cheap ground rent, I might be tempted to give it a go again, but not really for profit. Totally and utterly fried me, very long days, mostly spent at the sink. Not glamorous at all. The co-owners ultimately had to trade up ethics and risk their homes.

We might have done better if deliveroo had been about then.


I brushed off an old AMD motherboard. And did a quick CPU scout on Ebay to see what I'd need to pay for the greatest CPU of yesteryear. And for about a tenner, I could get AMD's best offering. But alas, it burnt many watts, and had barely any more grunt than my old Core2Duo in my aging laptop - so I doubt it is actually worth the bother.

I have hardware that is over a decade old, 'young' people scoff at anything over a few years old! But there's a sweet spot to be had where you can buy older, rather than ancient or new and save yourself a fortune.

That said, my latest console is a Gamecube.


I prefer consistency. The system setting, is the best here. If my system is dark, go dark, if light, go light. At night, dark is great, in a bright room, light wins. Shifting between the extremes is horrid.


AKA Both at the same time.


The flip side is that when you are stuck in a busy noisy office, the only place you want to be, is at home to concentrate and do your work. Stuck at home too long, and need the office. Balance.


Shunting workspaces about is a great idea.


Using it with Nvidia/Gnome 3 on OpenSuse Leap 15.1. Screen jumped left repeatedly today, and I'm having trouble turning it off. Other than that seems to be okay...


Why would the plane demo devour 50% of my CPU? Intel P8400.


That is a 7 year old laptop cpu.

(Also if the demo is single threaded and not frame rate capped it probably eats as much of a single core as it can, and that's a dual core cpu so 50% checks out)


Don't worry with age your brain will deaden. My mind raced, I learned somewhat how to chill it right out, and now it flat-lines far too much.


Almost 44 years, and the hurricane hasn't seemed to calm down. I just have fewer registers. :/


If it's any consolation you miss it when it's gone.


That sounds a little distressing. Have you found a positive?


Just read the summary. For me personally a hot to cold shower isn't nice. But a cold shower although initially repulsive becomes very enjoyable. And when it ends the thaw feeling is magic. When you are freezing, even cold feels warm.

Some days I get so cold in my bones I feel a hot bath or hot shower is the only way to sort me out. If I'm proper dirty, a cold shower doesn't do.


Double clicking is dreadful. So horrible to learn.
