Truth be told I don't find hunting upsetting. It's the way of nature. Hunted wild venison and pork is some of the most delicious meat I've eaten. Probably goes without saying but deer and pigs are introduced pests which damage the environment and threaten diversity in Australia and New Zealand, so I have no qualms about hunting them.

Factory farms yeah they can be a bit crap which is why I tend to look for free range meat and eggs.

I'm not opposed to eating plant based meals, I do it probably two dinners a week at present. However overdoing legumes which seem to be pretty popular in plant based meals tends to create a lot of greenhouse gas in the vicinity of my arse.

Also dairy. Sorry but cheese, I fucking love cheese. Plus I've tried every non dairy milk in existence, they just don't come close in a longmac topped up.

No users.

A bunch of those lemmit online communities.

A few other communities that tend to mostly just be identity politics arguments.

When I ran dual boot I kept windows on a separate disk to my mint install. I unplugged the mint disk when ever I wanted to boot windows.

Still had the clock issue of course.

Other half had a Peugeot 206. Thing was an economic write off at 10 years old with barely 100,000 kms on the odometer. Endless problems every service, high chance of stranding you. Interior falling apart, paint peeling off etc. Quality control must have been non existent.

Worst car I've ever driven would be a 2021 Mitsubishi outlander hire car. The way it handled corners felt downright dangerous, weak engine with awful CVT. Average park bench has more comfort than the seats. Sometimes in my career I get a feeling of imposter syndrome, but I can look at a car like the outlander and say thank fuck I'm not at daft as the arseholes responsible for that abomination.

Pipepipe share just gives YouTube.com links. Like this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUUy3mnAhCE

Is there tracking in that URL?

It's been very easy. Although I will say my use case is a 9km urban commute. Any issues I can jump on a train to the local bike shop.

Changing a rear tyre on a split frame in the middle of no where would be beyond me.

7 years and counting. Have never had any maintenance on my belt. The Alfine 11 has had an oil change though.

Google consistently routes people to make a right turn across an unsignalised dual carriageway near me. (Australia, we drive on the left).

This right turn is so prone to crashes that every single weekday morning and afternoon there will be multiple tow trucks just waiting for a crash.

To avoid this intersection and turn right on to the dual carriageway at a location with traffic lights is only a matter of driving less than 1km in either direction on a parallel side street. Yet Google tells people to go past the traffic lights to make this turn. Idiocy.

The recruiters also like to remove your name and contact details so that the companies they are selling you to can't bypass the recruiter.

Played UT4 at a few LAN parties circa 2015 - 2018.

Frustrating that they never went back to finish UT4 off after Fortnite BR turned in to a money printer. It felt so close to being ready.

identical environment.

if I tap out words, then they will appear as i hit each letter. if i use swipe, then i get no preview of the word, the word just appears after i lift off and touch another key.

very annoying, cant live without gesture/swipe typing.
