I used to eat steak well done until I made it myself for the first time and massively misjudged the timings. Came out medium rare and it was amazing. Do it that way every time now.

But people acting like well done steak is a crime against nature is so bizarre.

Man is too much for me. I can't handle that many words at once, which is why I like using tldr

ConSumo is an amazing minigame in Bully. It's the standard "eat thing to get bigger" type game but it's just done really well.

Cars have (or had, I don't know if they're still included) an electric lighter that you pushed in to heat up. It was basically a little metal ring that got really hot. So I think it probably is the heat.

I remember my friend also had a plasma lighter, that unsurprisingly used plasma to light things. It made a really scary noise in the wind and hurt like a motherfucker to touch. We were 18 and dumb.

I'm assuming you mean big ideas like inventing the television and not two people thinking "hey let's get pizza!" at the same time.

The rational: If you consider that at any point in time, the average person was facing the same problems as all the other average people, it is not too unreasonable to think that two people could think of the same solution since they were facing the same problem and likely had similar life experiences and education.

The cynical: We're not as unique as we think we are.

Because they seemed like a good deal when they first came around, and they were, so they boomed in popularity. Then everyone started offering them, the prices got jacked up and now you'll struggle to find an alternative.

Also, the very very short answer: More money

Netflix and Disney+ are the only two left. I used to also have Amazon Prime and Spotify but I was able to cut out Prime early last year and just within the last few weeks I cut out Spotify after using it continuously since 2009.

I'm trying to de-stream my media, and I would very much like to own the actual files legitimately instead but I think everything is so reliant on streaming these days it can be really difficult to buy DRM-free movies or TV shows. For music I get it from Bandcamp, so I am very appreciative of that. What can't be acquired legitimately.. cough

They must have been really desperate to make that jab because "slipping up" has been a common phrase for decades (at least in the UK). So the "up" has been dropped and we're left with "slipping", if it takes a native English speaker more than ten seconds to work it out I'd be worried for their cognition.

Just as a little update - I'm still not sure what caused it (although it does definitely seem to be systemd being a little odd because I temporarily reverted to sysvinit and it didn't happen) but today I ran sudo apt autoremove and after restarting the problem went away. It seems something left over by an old app just.. made this happen.

I'll give this a go next time it happens - thank you.

That explains why it's useless as a code, thank you!

Any thoughts on why I'm being presented with the logon screen and then being given a timestamp after it has loaded?
