Look, you get born, you keep your head down, and then you die. If you're lucky.

It has, indeed, been looking a bit tired of late.
He just hosts stuff these days. He's not terrible but I don't know what he really brings.
We don't have enough chairs, sorry!
I'm cooking Easter lunch for the whole extended family. I'm doing carnitas (and a chicken version because we have a couple of people who don't do pork). Looking forward to chilled hours in the kitchen cooking some fucking delicious food. Food is love and I love to cook.
Some US elites absolutely love us and have 'afternoon tea', including (inexplicably) cucumber sandwiches. The current crop of wankers don't give two shits about us and wouldn't piss on us if we were on fire.
We got a couple for the kids. Went to Sainsbury's yesterday and the shelves were full where usually they'd be half empty this close to Easter.
Yup, but I think it's just me.
English, French, German is three.
Oh, also Scottish, American English, Australian English, New Zealand English, South African English, er... Canadian English, Irish English, Singaporean English, oh, and lots of other Xian English where X is one of the various African countries or islands of the Caribbean that use English as their official language.
Call it another 27 or so.
And they say maths is a language, so 31 total. What do I win?
Transday - to piss off the bigots.

Fucking hell, Liz, you absolute lettuce!
We didn't just steal the spices, we stole cooks too. Eg, our first curry house was 1810, run by a Bengali chap. So we didn't piss about with traditonal English dishes to get our spice fix, we just went out for a ruby instead.

Worked in an office where everyone had a Macbook and wireless mouse. Getting in early and swapping some of the mice around was SOP.

I'm not your 김치를, pal!
(For those not from the UK, "piece" is another word for a filled breadcake.)
Same. My wife and I have a shared bank account which our salaries go into and which our bills come out of. Neither of us are especially profligate so it works fine. We discuss any significant purchases, but don't worry about the small stuff, just check the budget through the month as we go. We never argue about money.
Dogs, all day long. But have to be proper dogs, not little yappy-type dogs.

Even beats the sublime John Player Specials Lotus livery.
Distro for a Lenovo ThinkCentre Tiny PC
I've recently picked up a secondhand Lenovo ThinkCentre Tiny PC which ultimately I plan to use as a home server for a variety of functions (media server being the main one) but I don't need to use it as a main desktop.
It currently has Windows 10 installed. It has a decent sized SSD but no optical drive. I want to install a suitable Linux distro on it. What's a good Linux distro for my needs? And what's the best way of doing a scorched earth on the Windows install and replacing it with said distro?
I'm not entirely a Linux noob - I used to work on Xenix and later Red Hat Linux, but that was 30 and 20 years ago respectively!
Soooooooooooon
Critics unloaded on new Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth after a new report Thursday night that references to a World War II Medal of Honor recipient and even the Enola Gay — the plane that dropped an atomic bomb on Japan — were among tens of thousands of materials designated for deletion by the Departme...
Plonkers!
With apologies for the American commentary and a couple of obvious stunts
Went to see the doctor because I’m not sleeping well lately. I just spend most of the night eating.
He said I’ve got insomnomnomnomnia.
Knife sharpening and repair services
My kitchen knives have got to the point where daily honing or stropping no longer gets them as sharp as I'd like. I can sharpen them myself on whetstones but don't have the free time to sort out a dozen or so knives.
Additionally I have a chef's knife that's absolutely buggered (it was my mothers, she tried to cut a frozen salmon with it, buckled the edge, chipped the edge, and then dropped it on the floor, in surprise, and bent the tip). It has little monetary value but huge sentimental value (she died during the COVID years and this was her favourite knife).
How have people found knife sharpening and repair services? Ideally UK based, with actual recommendations, but I'm open to experiences from further afield.
Many thanks, in advance!
From science-fiction to the real world, flying cars are here - but could the concept actually take off?
When will news media stop falling for this shit?
Oh, yes, when it stops generating clicks. I am part of the problem.
Best ever burger?
Since I discovered Oklahoma onion burgers I’ve cooked nothing else (I mean I’ve cooked other things but no other kind of burger). So much flavor.
So, is there a better burger anywhere? Anyone?
Anonymous Gifts
This year, like every year, I have spunked a truly obscene amount of money away on anonymous Valentine’s gifts.
If you have received an anonymous card or gift, it’s pretty safe to say I sent it. I don’t want thanks, I just love to bring a little love and joy into the world.
You’re all welcome.
What single sentence comment can you leave to prove you're a real human and not an AI Lemmy bot?
Who cooks over winter?
It's been at least three months since I wrapped up my Kamado Joe, and longer since I posted a cook. I'm hoping this year I might get around to a proper outdoor kitchen and will be able to cook in all weather.
How about the rest of you? Does anyone brave the elements in winter?
