Worth pointing out that the majority of tourists in Japan are in fact Japanese, at more than 80% of tourists. Next largest group are from Japans closest neighbors in East Asia. Its a minority of a minority that cause all the problems.

I was really fed up for him, it's not often he gets to be faster than Max pretty much all weekend, and he really needed a good weekend. He even stayed back out of trouble till the moment came to pounce with Charles and then it goes wrong.

He has either the worst luck or all the luck, rarely in-between

I'm only ever logging on because there's a problem, so i login infrequently, like may be every few months.

So i want want to see the os version as I have some downgraded on purpose, and that's helpful to see. I also want to see uptime, disk space, ip address, ram, and kernel version. These all help me understand basic issues if the box is rebooting or needs a reboot or it out of disk space very quickly.

Obviously, there are a million and one other ways to get this information, I could even stick them in my .zshrc to auto start on login as I've done with fastfetch, but why on earth would I do that when fastfetch works, takes less than a second to run on sign in, and looks pretty?

It's not like I am not launching a connection to them 100s of times a day.

Britain required former slaves to work for 2 years unpaid before they were free to go post abolition. Slave owners received £17bn in today's money in reparations.

Ya know that never occurred to me that would work, going to have to try it

I prefer fastfetch, but I have to compile it for my PIs as i couldn't find a precompile. This is painful for my zeros that I use for my automated watering system, so those have screenfetch. I find fastfetch faster for my options.

Completely get why some people don't like them, but I just love the ease of seeing all the stats I want when I login to one of my boxes I don't log into very often.

Always been a bloke in the pub or car boot or whatever that can supply hooky dvds or games or hacked satellite, FAST always talks tough about busting them.

Early eights it was disk and tape trading, mostly tape trading in the UK. Was a way more social activity.

Late 80s and early 90s, it was all disk, and you really needed a connected friend who could get the menu disks (custom pirated compilation disks). These were often super hoarded, only traded for a lot of games, like certain private trackers today.

Very early web stuff was all usenet and ftp servers, often hosted at a university. If you knew where to look, anything was accessible.

Early 2000s was a golden period of easy access. It would be slow, and the quality would often be low if it was a video or mp3. It's gotten harder to find the obscure stuff as time has gone on. I

t's like the scene only remembers out and out classics or the latest thing outside of some niche places.

UK desperately needs more pull thru spaces. Having to unhook to charge is painful

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 days ago

In the UK APNR cameras are starting to roll out to some providers to automatically issue parking fines to people icing charging spaces or people hogging spaces after they finished charging. I think this will be needed in the short term, was particularly needed in one very busy car park I've used to keep ice cars from parking there as there nowhere else to park.

They also argue that the business would go bust or move out of the country, both resulting in far wider job losses. I don't doubt that a small minority of businesses might fit into this but a business the size of Tesco that made a couple of billion of profit last year and is heavily dependent on physical sales in the UK to achieve that.

Same argument is used against the likes of Amazon or Apple paying fair taxes or wages, they do about 30 billion and 1.5 billion of sales of mostly physical goods here respectively, that they would have to give up on, which is just not going to happen. Apple has about half the UK mobile market, like they would give that up.

Spoiler, its RDT

In case people do nto know what RDT is, which they really should if they have been into coffee for a little while as it makes a big difference:

RDT is Ross Droplet Technique, which is very much adding water to beans. Named after David Ross who came up with it back in 2005

 

The postman delivered a new to me DF83 Gen 1 with SSP HU burrs. Just had fun dialing it in over lunch for espresso. It is a huge step up from the Niche Zero it replaces for espresso.

 

Very interesting grinder for those that like to experiment with different burrs as it supports both conical and flat burrs. I think only the niche zero with a 3rd party kit did that so far?

Can't say it would replace multiple grinders with just one for me as it still takes too long to switch over but I could definitely see myself switching burrs when I change over bags once or twice a month.
