for instance there’s no way to disable the Google search bar in the stock Pixel launcher

Are they still doing that? FFS.

It’s one of the main reasons I’ve immediately added an alternate launcher on both Pixels I’ve had (P2P and P6P). It’s just so ugly to have it there all the time.

Jeff Bezos Says He Doesn’t Understand Why Anybody Alive Now Would Be ‘Discouraged’—Because Soon, ‘Millions Of People Will Be Living In Space’

Fixed that headline.

One of the first records I ever bought 😁

Only stupid and ill-informed Brits.

Unfortunately, that may be the majority of us.

Oh, was it Arnie himself? That’s cool, didn’t know that.

I heard recently, that as originally scripted, the line was “I’ll come back”.

Thankfully someone changed that at some point!

Blast Hardcheese!

Calvin may have overplayed his hand here 😁

Yugoslavia. Mainly because it’s not there anymore. Would love to go to Croatia again for the first time though.

I don’t think hip hop songs in general tend to get covered, or at least not that I’m aware of (am absolutely open to being corrected on that).

I guess a lot of the rhymes are often very specifically about the person rapping, so someone else doing it might be a bit weird.

That said, I do know of one good example in eLZhi’s Elmatic a remake of Nas’ Illmatic. It has significantly rewritten lyrics though.

I don’t think they were calling you the dimwit, definitely aimed at RFK I think.

Some new records, including this gorgeous translucent green 12"…

This drives me up the wall, anywhere I encounter it. Bastards.

Funny, I was going to say the referee - a great refereeing performance will rarely be noticeable.

about 40% (assuming you work age 20-70) of the workforce disappears over night

Although OP said “drops dead”, so suddenly there are a LOT of corpses to deal with too. Fun!

Oh, don’t get me wrong, I completely agree about the replayability of Lego.

I was thinking more in terms of gift impact - to get something that looks great immediately, instead of in hindsight, can cost a fair bit.

The best gift IMO would be just a huge bucket/box of random bricks, to leave it all to the imagination, but for a kid that might not seem very exciting, at least at first.

Thanks! Even all that sounds hideously complicated or danger-strewn, but I’ll try and have a look.

One thing I think I’d like to try is getting a dedicated external hard drive or SSD and running Linux entirely from that, so as not to mess with any of the main drives I already have. Or, better, get a separate machine altogether and keep an air gap between Windows and Linux, at least until I understand it a bit!

Oh this is Rev David Black, the same guy that they shot in the head with a pepper ball because he was [checks notes] standing praying at them.
