Never mind that, Windows 10 did an update a couple of days ago, and now my dual boot screen has gone. I literally can't start my Linux Mint anymore, it boots straight to Windows :(

There is a way to get it back with the command line, but my computer nerd days are over.

I'm assuming that command needs to be edited to whatever my setup is, I have no idea.

I just had a colleague mock me (good naturedly) the other day for having an android phone. I just laughed and said, I'm no fan of Google but at least I can install what I want on here. That was the end of it, haha.

Every time I hear the phrase trickle down, I just get images of Liz Truss weeing on the rest of us.

I got it on steam for £8.32 not too long ago (including all the DLC bundled). Even as a casual gamer, I'm enjoying it ( though I kinda suck at it). Definitely don't regret buying it.

It's like when companies make a big fuss about how their clothes are made from recycled plastic bottles - so eco! - but instead of plastic bottles in the seas, it's now microfibres from your clothing shedding into the washing machine and entering the water that way. I wish there was more movement towards hemp fabric.

My fella quit smoking at the end of September and has been using a reusable vape to stay off. I'm not a fan of vapes myself, but it's definitely preferable to fags.

In my thread asking for advice on how to support him quitting, a lot of advice was: use vapes

I had a listen to the Sliced Bread podcast about it hoping it might help wean him off vapes, but after listening to it, I feel a bit better about it.

Why are union subs so high in the US? As a part time worker I pay under a tenner a month, but even as a full time worker, I'd be paying £16.

I'm like that with violent scenes, even though I know it's fake and no one is getting hurt, I still get highly distressed. I wasn't always like that, it got to that point more in my late 20s I think. I can play fighting games and such like just fine, although the bit in Witcher 3 when one of the women gets her face slammed on a table made me upset.
