All three of ours play fetch, but only with specific objects. They’re all brothers about 2½ years old.
The tabby cat plays fetch with fluffy toy balls with feathers on them, the grey cat plays fetch with spare cat collars and the little black cat plays fetch with menthol sweet wrappers.
Also used to make Mummy Brown Paint (wikipedia link)
Great, I’ll look in to that, thank you - and I hope you do write such a book one day :)
This is fascinating stuff. Is there anywhere where more of this kind of thing is written down?
“The Darkness Out There” by Penelope Lively.
In short, a “nice old lady” tells a couple of young kids about what they did to a young German who survived a plane crash over Britain during WW2.
I think it was there for the “the nice old lady was actually nasty and cruel and the evil nazi was actually just a scared, fairly innocent boy”.
Throwing pretend milkshakes at a pretend Nigel Farridge is disrespectful.
We should be burning effigies of him on bonfires.
… “étoile de mer”, which would roughly translate as “star of the sea” or “sea star” - the same as the Spanish “estrella de mar”, Portuguese “estrela do mar” or Romanian “stea de mare”.
I miss lovely, earthy, warm, friendly chocolatey Brownbuntu.
I always felt purplebuntu was a bit vile.
I’m sure it’s not possible for everyone - but I essentially did this some years back - though more with Premiere than Photoshop - and therefore more Cinelerra/Kdenlive than Gimp/Krita.
I ran a dual boot system from about 2008 until about 2015. If it could be done in Linux/FOSS, it was. If it couldn’t, it was done in Windows/Adobe software.
I was self-employed, though I often did subcontracting work for a handful of media/umbrella organisations - so sometimes I had to use Premiere or Sony Vegas to carry on half-done projects I was handed.
Bear in mind this was when you bought Adobe software and didn’t rent it - and you could also keep running an older version for years.
Anyway, over time I used the Windows partition less and less, until I got rid of it entirely when I got a new computer.
I had to work a bit harder one year, and I did miss out on a few projects - but mostly, I could do everything I could do previously, but it took a bit longer for a while until I adjusted to a different workflow.
After that, you’re just saying “That’s a £2000 job”, “That’s a £200 job”, and meeting a deadline. Nobody really cares if it took 7 minutes longer to do, and I saved a lot of time not using Windows any more.
Editing (and other design stuff) is a far smaller part of my overall work these days, but I still do a good chunk of projects over the year, and I’ve been 100% Linux for almost 10 years. No regrets.
That’s brilliant! Are there any other songs which do similar?
You just understand them in your own way.
When this first came out, we interpreted it as:
Who? Who has? Who has fish? Who has fish from France?
To a degree, yes, but don’t expect magic. Some laptops have a waterproof membrane under the keyboard, so if you’re lucky, and it does, you may be able to just pop the keys off and dry the membrane out, and make sure no liquid creeps round the side into the electronics.
Otherwise you may have better odds if you open up the case and mop up any/all loose liquid you can get to with a microfibre cloth, as soon as possible, then try and let it air dry for a while.
A sealed bag with dried rice and your electronic object may absorb a bit of leftover moisture, but only to the extent that it will equal the moisture level in the sealed bag - the dried rice will gain a little extra moisture, the object will lose that bit of extra moisture.
Try to resist the urge to turn it on to check if it’s working until you’ve got all the moisture out.
Can you encourage them to hurry up with a bit of “Push It” by Salt-N-Pepa?
“Push it”
“Push it real good”
So… on average late 30s/early 40s? So it’s actually a Lemmy post, rather than a Reddit post?
It seems mostly digital/programming/random based stuff from the examples - though by the description above (and wikipaedia’s definition) it sounds like you’d also take more traditional algorithmically generated geometric abstract paintings? i.e. a painting produced following a very strict algorithm/sequence/permutation?
It’s fine, you’re doing well. You just need a few comments back and forth, then you start your fourth comment with “well, actually I think you’ll find…”.
On the fifth comment, you need to attack a minor spelling or grammatical error they have made.
Sixth comment, try and sound like you’re reasonable, and they’re obviously not… then it’s a race!
First person to compare their opponent to “basically Hitler” wins!
You should receive between 100 and 1000 argument XP, depending on the level of your opponent (you get about 10% more for a victory, but you can still level up if you lose every time).
Three little posers.
The other reason for not liking Snaps is badly implemented sandboxing. Unless they’ve fixed it more recently, the Snap version of a program cannot see your USB stick, your printer, your scanner, ½ of your fonts, your 2nd internal hard drive, your custom plugins etc and it can’t connect to other software also installed on the computer.
There’s (to my knowledge) not currently an easy system to grant access to these things - whereas Flatpak, for instance, has Flatseal, which let’s you alter the permissions of all your Flatpak programs.
Perhaps if they’d launched Snaps with an android-like “would you like to give this program access to…” sort of thing, there’d be less of a problem.
There is of course a chance this has all been fixed since - but I’ve certainly not heard of it happening.
The taste is questionable, but whoever actually did the tiling has done a brilliant job.
How often do you write the word “wads”? I can see a potential problem.
