I want to get Luigi’s Mansion as I remember really enjoying the first one. It’s just so expensive though.

There was a low budget indie film I found in Amazon Prime called There Are Monsters that I really enjoyed.

Helping is one thing, paying for everything is something else. I don’t want my kid lying awake at night worrying about bills but I want her making decisions about how she’s spending her money and having to go without things.

My kid will get a little financial support until she’s out of studies and then I’ll mostly be a safety net. I learnt far more about money when I didn’t have much, and I also learnt empathy for those who don’t have anyone to help.

She’ll definitely be getting a job when she can and if she’s at home she’ll be paying rent, but I’ll just put that aside to help her with a mortgage. I’ll probably buy her first car but it’ll be something cheap. She’ll get money towards a house deposit.

I’ll be figuring it out as it comes but she doesn’t need to be living comfortably all her life. I’d help her with money towards a business if it seemed like a good idea but I’m not bankrolling her. Learning to be responsible with money is important and they can’t learn that in a book.

I wonder if those officers knew it was illegal before they took up the job?

Still popular in a lot of poorer places. If you have no infrastructure then it’s often the most suitable means of keeping warm at night, especially since you don’t really need to worry about storage or anything.

I honestly don’t mind as long as it’s down with permission. At least Microsoft are trying to do something interesting, computers are so boring nowadays. You could take any of the operating systems and wind them back five years and I probably wouldn’t notice.

“mostly because the English have been trying to erase Irish culture for centuries”

What on earth are you on about? Do you think anyone in England is waking up thinking about ways to suppress Irish culture? You do realise that England and Ireland are separate countries now?

I was in a thread just yesterday talking about Americans building houses out of wood. I didn’t realise they’d build a fifth floor balcony out of wood.

Everyone keeps blaming the aliens but I didn’t that they were that bad a fit. But the movie was terrible and at that but where LeBouf started swinging through the trees I was ready to walk out.

The newer one’s not too bad though.

I think they just date from the circles they hang out in. I don’t think rich people hang out with poor people in general, I guess they don’t have much in common given that they have different problems. Rich people go to rich people schools, rich people gyms, etc.

Printers are sold at a loss. If you want cheap toner you’d end up paying more for the printer. If you want to be ethical you probably need a second hand one.

The flooding a network thing really isn’t an issue, they’ll only flood for the first packet just to find the way and then it stops. Fire up Wireshark on a different machine and transfer a file between two other machines, you won’t see anything. I don’t know too much about WiFi but it probably does the same, it’s just a bridge to the same network.

Wired is probably better because machines can estimate your location from the SSID and they can leak the password giving access to the network.

Switches will flood a network when they don’t know the location of a MAC address but this should only happen for the very first packet which is more likely to be DHCP or some boring background thing like that. As soon as the correct devices get the packet and replies then each switch along the way will update its MAC address table and they’ll know exactly which port to use until it expires (which depends on the switch, I don’t have a ballpark idea).

I always thought this was the weakest one. I loved TFE and TSE.

This looks bad for Mandelson and Clinton but there’s not really incriminating about Blair. They met at Downing Street for 30 minutes at Mandelson’s recommendation and talked about politics.

I just browse All the subscribe to communities I see and like. One thing you’ll find on Lemmy is that a lot of the communities are just Lemmy equivalents of Reddit subs, so if there’s one you like you can just search the name of what you like. It’s usually a case of find the version of the sub you want that’s the most popular. Because this is Lemmy and there’ll be different instances of the big subs, like if you want funny you might find [email protected] or [email protected], and more. There’s usually one instance which is the one to use. I understand they’re in the process of fixing this by having it so that they all sort of subscribe to each other and you can just follow one to follow them all. Unfortunately doing this involves using the search which I also find pretty terrible but I understand it’s also a priority issue they’re fixing right now.

Not particularly excited about this one.

You don’t have to stay at that job but I wouldn’t go back to the old one.

I’ve been doing this for years now. Over the past ten years I’ve probably only bought about five games that were over £15.
