  • Watching coverage now and grateful I don’t live in the UK where it looks like there’s no way to watch it! Looks like the classic “can they do it on a cold, rainy night in StokeBournemouth” game.

    Team: Kelleher. Gomez, Matip, Quansah, Tsimikas, Elliott, Endo. Jones, Salah, Gakpo, Szoboszlai

    Substitutes van Dijk, Konaté, Núñez, Mac Allister, Adrián, Jota, Gravenberch, Scanlon, Alexander-Arnold

    Surprised we’re starting Mo - although he does get to wear the armband. Maybe he couldn’t resist those lovely white and green shirts lol.










  • Sorry to hear :( Feels like we’re all one momentary lapse of concentration (usually someone else’s) away from a life-changing coming-together. I’ve lost track of the situation with the shifting sands of ICBC and what they will/won’t do these days, but can you claim against them for a) any out-of-pocket medical expenses (eg physio) and b) damage to bike/helmet?

    Ahhh right, sorry - must read more carefully - I see you’ve already said ICBC will cover the helmet. If you get the bike in for a mechanic to look over & give you an estimate then presumably they’ll cover that as well?











  • It’s also pointy as fuck. Mobile guillotine.

    North American trucks in general are death on four wheels for pedestrians, cyclists etc. The tall vertical leading edges hit pedestrians in the hip and torso and then toss them under the wheels.

    In the EU there’s regulations about this stuff, designed to ensure that people are hit (ideally not hit at all, but you know what I mean) in the legs and thrown up onto the hood. Plus regulations about spacing underneath the hood to the hard engine components which allows for a certain amount of cushioning deformity when the victim hits the hood. Would love to see that sort of thing regulated in North America but not a chance in hell of it happening.


  • so it would not be a surprise if Reddit administration or spez personally decides to usurp those mod teams.

    There was some comment about “we’ll do whatever’s necessary to keep reddit online” so I think the implication there is that if high-traffic subs went dark for an extended period then he’d evict the mods and replace them with his yes men.

    Personally I think the subs should go dark for 3 days each & every month. You can still run a successful community with those restrictions but it’s a pretty visible signal to investors that hey your userbase hates you and is itching for the opportunity to leave your sorry ass.

    Migrated to Debian 11 from Ubuntu 6 months ago. Loving it.

    With Ubuntu I used to stick to the LTS releases and wait for a .1 upgrade. But I’ve been running a Debian 12 VM in anger (ie actually doing work on it - I needed PHP 8) for the last month or two and it’s been faultless for me. Might break the habit and upgrade the main machine early :)

    Edit: almost pulled the trigger a little early tonight. Ironically the one package I have that doesn’t seem to exist for 12 yet is Virtualbox - not something I could install & test in my Debian 12 VM…

    As the manual says you should run

    apt list '?narrow(?installed, ?not(?origin(Debian)))'

    before upgrading to check what non-Debian packages you have installed.
