I’d think that the smart ones will desert as soon as they can

That’s what she said!

That’s the most useful thing anyone’s said so far, thanks. My current mini is hard enough to get at, as it’s under the back of the desk, so I’ve used this, as even though the power button is in a vaguely accessible place, there computer isn’t. Why would I want it taking up room on the top that could be used for synths I can’t play, and coffee I haven’t drunk?!

Ah, if I used a Mac keyboard then I’d probably have known that. I generally don’t really like Mac peripherals, I’ve got a full size mechanical keyboard and a thumb wheel mouse. I get that it’s not an insurmountable problem, but there’s only one face out of the six that you can absolutely guarantee isn’t going to be immediately accessible, so why put the only button on the whole machine on that face, as opposed to next to all the I/Os?

It looks like the foot/base bit isn’t tall enough to get a finger to the button without lifting the thing up. That seems daft to me. You’re having to move the whole unit about to push a button

I’m not an apple hater, I have a Mac mini. However, our power goes out fairly regularly in the winter, and it’ll get old having to get the thing out of the back of my desk at start it again pretty bloody quickly, it’s an obviously daft place to put it.

As does having a livable planet for the rest of us, and being able to exist as anything other than a rich white straight-in-public guy in the US. How so much has ended up in the hands of an orange nazi dementia patient in a first world country is pretty astounding

Might as well accept it, as however you cut it you’ll eventually come to realise that there are 10 kinds of people in this world. Those who understand binary, and those who don’t.

Not sure if it’s exactly what you mean, but the YouTube channel Project Kamp is a bunch of folks who’ve bought some land in Portugal to experiment with sustainable living.

They have a website, in which they house “research modules” which are basically open forums for ideas about what to do and how to do it. https://projectkamp.com/

I always do this. My gym has push-button showers, and I always do it there too. However, yesterday, my stupid brain thought “but what if you elbowed the button while towelling off?” Never done that before, but somehow did it almost immediately after I thought that, soaked my towel. Cheers brain.

Man put his money where is mouth is

Coffee

Nah but that surface grinder is filth

Unless you use the bangs. !g tells it to use google

Use the bangs in DDG, eg !g asks DDG to search google

And I’ll be fucked if I can get them right first time round half the time!

How the hell should I know, I’m not a rocket surgeon

Fuming

Im not mad about this current one.

Now that is a silly hat
