What’s wrong with LPG?

Petrol is a liquid. When liquid petrol evaporates is becomes a gas. When gaseous petrol is compressed in a container as pictured it becomes a liquid until it is released and allowed to expand again, hence liquefied (compressed) petroleum gas.

As someone who has only linux’d in over a decade, I didn’t even realise this wasn’t Linux until I read your comment.

Damn, I thought Europe was doing such a good job

Honestly as an Australian its baffling to me that peoples “freedoms” take precedent over mandatory voting.

Mandatory voting means one HOUR over three or four YEARS must be exhausted getting your ass to a polling booth and ticking a box. It’s not a big deal. The upsides so significantly outweigh the downsides.

The worst bit is its not any less absurd.

My paper was published in MDPI open access and then a whole heap of publishing companies came along, stole it, and now charge money for it. And they’re the ones you get first if you search for it in Google Scholar.

I’m so mad. I was proud of that and wanted people to see it, but now 90% of people who come across it will incorrectly think its behind a paywall and not bother.

And so damn infuriating when you need them forty years later lol. I’m currently in the middle of some really obscure maths at work and my only reference is a hand typed paper from 1983 with super critial plots on it, but it’s all been scanned in and put online at the lowest possible resolution. It’s torture!

I used to think so too, but my pi-hole just died the other week after four years of uptime. Couldn’t work it out, finally pulled the SD card out to reinstall the OS and found my laptop wouldn’t recognise it.

Made me glad I don’t run my mailserver on a Pi anymore!

DS games were $50+ AUD fifteen years ago.

Quick search reveals some of the cheaper Switch 2 games are ~$65 and the more expensive ones are ~$90.

Given how much the buying power of $50 has decreased in the last 15 years, this seems reasonable to me…

This is honestly the most amazing thing I’ve seen all week. I’m trying this out tomorrow. So cool!

Not here it’s not!

I model all of my UI choices off of old(er) school windows

Same lol. The casual observer wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between Windows XP and my Debian install, bar for the fact that I have a search bar in the start menu.

At least in Russia if he sued he’d fall out a window.

so America are still the good guys, right?

Knew exactly what scene this was before I’d even taken a good look, let alone read the text. One of my favourites, along with “I will not carry a gun, Frank”.

To be fair, POST could mean a number of things. Are we talking in a webserver context? BIOS context? The POST Office?

Be all that as it may, but sweet fuck all percent of you actually vote, so what difference will it make?

I am absolutely of the opinion that good software is far more important than good hardware. Unfortunately modern hardware is so good that inefficient software gets a free pass.

I’m very sorry it came off that way. I don’t even know what I said now its been removed, but I’m sure the joke was meant to be at my own expense, not yours.
