Hmmm…

Enter Sandman, and The Unforgiven (Metallica)

The Phantom of the Opera in Tarja’s and Marko’s version (Nightwish). Also Storytime in Anette’s version.

The Keeper of the Seven Keys, and Eagle Fly Free (Helloween)

Chop Suey (System of a Down)

Dance With the Dragon (Dark Sarah)

Ace of spades (Motörhead)

… A bunch of stuff from Guns’n’Roses, Black Sabbath, and Poison (maybe my definition of metal is wider than yours…)

Other days I’d have listed something by Evanescence, Edguy, Blind Guardian, Dream Theater, Korpiklaani, Alestorm, Nanowar, Dragonforce, …

Yeah, I tend to be biased towards power metal, symphonic metal, and various '80s groups that are somewhere on the border between “hard rock” and “metal”. I know that’s not everyone’s cup of tea.

Yep, that’s pretty close to what I’ve assumed is going on, and I’m doing what I can to accommodate.

That’s soo my wife.

Friends coming over for dinner, and we want another two seats available at the table? I’d better make her clear off that table because otherwise there’ll be another round of “NOOOO, you moved stuff, now I’ll never be able to find anything again”. “Sweetie, it’s all on the side table. I moved the stuff pile by pile, didn’t mix the piles” “It’s forever gone!”

The Democrats first moves, yes.

That the Republicans already made a bunch of moves…

And the company that charges “gas refueling fees” for a fully charged EV.

1 and 6.

I wouldn’t call it “measured in inches” as much as they are “named” with a partly numerical name, which may or may not be an adequate correspondence with a different country’s length scale.

It’s similar with bicycles: many tires are named in inches. Two tires with the same number of “inches” may however not have the same diameter, so to translate size-names into measurements is fraught with pitfalls.

Make everyone a criminal, selectively arrest your enemies. Very simple.

The problem with banning people from identifying nazis is of course that the nazis then have a field day doing nazi things, chanting “you aren’t allowed to call me a nazi …”

Yep, that’s what brought me over to XFCE for several years. Back at KDE again, though

I guess my knowledge of cars must have atrophied…

Not so sure about that, given that I’m pretty sure there’s a full sized Mercedes in the back row, and what to me looks like a Volvo in the middle slot, facing the camera.

You assume I’m ever “about in public”?

Rough guess works be 20cm diameter, so 16% of the force required.

And as opposed to the Magdebutger hemispheres, these objects don’t come with handles for good grip.

@FreeBeard separates evacuated Magdeburger hemispheres by hand.

Swedish. Of course, these all lack three letters. And I don’t think this tool counts special characters?

Netherlands also has constant eleventy mph winds that try to blow you back to where you started, so there’s that.

I still run a fairly old dell laptop with 4k screen, and fedora 41.

My experience is that i needed to set dpi, scaling, and font sizes separately for kde and gnome apps, Firefox is a story in itself, and one app that I quickly stopped using - partly because I could never get it to listen to dpi settings no matter what I did - well, I recently learned that it could be used on a 4k monitor if one first were to set the right environmental variable. Tough luck, I already went with a replacement app.

Right now I only have one app that needs further custom tweaking to be legible, but since that’s only running in the background anyway, I haven’t bothered. So in short, for most apps it’s possible to configure them, but it is a pain point.

Will not buy another 4k laptop.

Is anybody still using mailspring? I remember trying it back in '16 or '17 or so, liked it, but didn’t really feel the need for a standalone client at the time.

Now I’m looking forward to creating more email addresses, and multiple tabs of webmail are getting gradually less appealing. Sure, Thunderbird works…

King Trump and President Musk, yes.
