I moved from Gentoo to Arch years ago and was unable to notice any performance difference. There may have been one, but it wasn't perceptible to me.

Need some help figuring out the best milk solution. in c/coffee

I've tried that with reasonable results, but the plunging action is simply too exhausting for me to do often or regularly.

Happy International Coffee Day in c/coffee

This is a relief for me. I'm out of beans and would've felt bummed not having coffee on international coffee day, but it didn't matter that I missed it without knowing - if that makes sense?

Thanks for the reply! With my youngest, at least, I'd be quite concerned about the mess he'd make with one of those!

Did the teacher follow through and do all 94?

I'd definitely be in favour of reducing/eliminating tactical replacements.

How can India have a strong leftist movement like in the US? in c/asklemmy

[–] daddyjones 3 points 1 year ago

I'm neither American or Indian (I'm from the UK), but I'm not sure I agree with your assessment of the US having a strong leftist movement. By most standards, what the US considers leftist is centre-right elsewhere. The democratic party in the US have more in common with the conservative party in the UK (or, at least, what the conservative party have been up until Brexit) than the Labour party.

Honestly, I think rugby is mostly brilliant to watch at the moment - I love it. My only concern (and it is a big one) is the number of red cards and the huge effect they have on outcomes. It's too easy and too common for a player to make a simple mistake and be sent off.

I'm not saying that these incidents shouldn't be red cards - player safety is vital. We can't have a game where so many players develop dementia and related conditions in the years after retiring.

Thing is, it might be a problem without a solution. There needs to be a crackdown on head contact, but there also need to be fewer red cards and I don't know how to square that circle.

I read about people saying it's simple and everyone just needs to tackle lower, but, if it's that easy, why isn't it happening?
