Because the Vikings settled and formed The Russians around Ukraine, from where they spread and eventually formed Russia.

What a small volume… Should have stuck to English measures when you escaped back along 🤣

68ml short of a Pint in my book. Dunno where they got the idea that 500ml is 1.05 pints

They do that in Germany too.

There is even specific chocolate you can buy in any supermarket, in many different flavours. I am guessing the sweet chocolate and sourdough is what makes it so nice.

Sauce: my mouth is scarred from over consumption!

Not bad for a translation of the English original into Spanish and back to English again…

Err NATO-Restricted isn’t one of the highest security ratings. It’s one that’s sorta kinda a problem if it gets released rather than a “omg oh noes I am so dead if the leak gets traced to me” type problem.

It’s also actually a caveated protective marking. The NATO bit tells you that only NATO eyes can see the materiel which itself is marked Restricted.

The trouble is there are at least 3 classification/protective marking schemes that I know of and in one Restricted is used to describe materiel that is called Confidential (or is it Secret? It’s been a while) in another.

Dude, get your B12 levels checked. Was feeling old and tired, so I went to drs for something else, he ran bloods just to make sure. Came back ok except B12 deficient. Now I get a B12 jab every 12 weeks and top up with high dose B12 pills every day after 4 weeks. Tiredness gone, cold feet at night gone, visual migraines gone grumpy old git moods gone. Oh and fucking around in a good way is way more on the cards!

There was no mold - the crack wasn’t there long and there was a relatively thick adhesive bed which stopped the water getting to the cement board.

Had a crack like that… The wife said “it’s only a 5 minute job”

Sadly the (correct stuff - we rebuilt the bathroom side of the wall when we moved in) wallboard had cracked for some reason so 5 minutes to yank out a tile and stick in a new one turned into a mission - chasing the crack in the wall board, cutting the damaged bits, repairing with new pieces then replacing 4 tiles instead of one.

It hasn’t cracked again so I must have done something right (or the wall has decided to stop moving)

What’s the moral? Do not expect it to be a simple job. If it turns out to be simple, fix it, get a beer and chill. You will probably need to get a bit more involved than just replacing the tile.

Take the cash on an commercial international flight without prior arrangements being made.

Obviously you could fly it around in your own 747 if you wanted to, but border controls invariably get twitchy when comparitively small sums of cash are transported.

My wife is an introvert. It took 7 years of very innocent twice a year meeting at camp and someone else shoving us together for us to think about becoming an item. Been married for 8 years now (together for 13). Sometimes these things just happen. Top tip is not to try too hard.

The translators did a heroic job. They even changed the names to make them funnier (Getafix is Panoramix in French). I do wonder what the Corsican’s name is in French given that boneywasawarroirwayayix is very English (language and culture) specific.

As a humble brag my Pa knew Anthea Bell’s brother - she was doing the English translations.

After a few years there was XPizza tool… Allowing MIT guys to order pizza from their workstation…

Where’s the bloody bog?

Yeh I have noticed something similar.

I have to refresh home/local/all when I visit them to get all new posts. Default sort is new for all of them (iirc)

Occasionally there is 1 new one at the top of the feed.

I thought I was dreaming.

Yeh, the oya got smudged/erased on the gold plate.

Vger … Star Trek the movie called and wants their name back!🤪

Just thinking aloud here…

Can you boot the install media when the laptop storage is installed?

If so, you can use gparted from the install media to clean the storage device and start from scratch. That might help.

You should be able to tell what mode to install the os in from the boot mode of the install media.

That is odd. However iirc it is an option in the bios.

Fwiw telling grub to uefi boot will not work if the boot device doesn’t have uefi support (and trying to boot in bios mode from a uefi disk fails as well… Been there got the T-shirt)

To get the install media to boot you could try removing the laptop storage…

On all the lenovos here hitting enter when the bios displays the Lenovo splash screen gives a menu that allows you to get at the bios or a boot menu.

You have to be a bit careful cos it’s on a countdown, paused and resumed by the enter key… And you have to get it timed right.
