Another great example.

Rugby doesn’t have comparable high speed impacts on a regular basis.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

Based upon this conversation, I can tell you dont even know what other sports are.

And thats fine, but FYI NFL Football is not the only sport where people run around a field and smash bodies together, while having to think of game plans and strategies.

Flying to a different country to play these sports doesn’t destroy their capabilities.

Foreign fixtures being unpopular is different to players are unable to play if they have to travel.

No, its just a sport and when people try and talk them up as some sort of super athletes that are doing incredible things you don’t see in other sports I’ll knock that right down.

Sounds like hype to me.

Rugby is far more physically and mentally challenging.

And it doesn’t require rubber padding because the players know how to take down other people.

Does this mean that American Football players are just worse athletes than players of other sports?

Because I’ve never heard this terrible excuse used for international football, rugby, tennis.

people cruising in the left

This is a camera on a single lane road in the UK. They should be driving on the left.

No. Traffic cameras in your area are there to generate revenue.

The camera being covered here is not at an intersection so your offtopic comment about revenue is irrelevant. This is a camera on a stretch of road where drivers usually speed, the cameras are painted bright yellow to make them obvious and do a far better job of getting people to slow for hazardous corners than a sign ever did.

Its only Americans that I see being puritanical as a general rule. There are Christian sects in the UK who are against drinking, but its not the majority.

Jesus handed out wine at parties, and ordered his followers to drink wine.

Pretty sure its only because he didn’t have access a good bitter.

No, I’m suggesting that any death will be announced as an attempt of the government to murder the elderly.

As it always has, and always will be.

It doesn’t even have to be due to it. If a pensioner doesn’t turn on their heating then its Labours fault even if the pensioner could have afforded it.

Or if the pensioner did have the heating on but it hadn’t been serviced and they still died from the cold, you know the rags will spin it. Labour cuts fuel allowance and old dears die. Its not sketchy phrasing, its predictable Tory spin.

So the problem is crappy guides?

I was of the opinion that anything that suggested the terminal was purely for speed reasons.

Average Windows guide. Click here, dismiss the warning, click here, click here, close the advert, click next, type in 1, accept, reboot.

Average Linux guide, go to Gnome Tweaks, third option, type in 1, no reboot required. Or open a terminal and paste the following command.

It’s precise, it’s concise, and it’s fast but it’s not required.

the are so many desktop environments

I completely disagree. There is Gnome with 70% of the market, KDE with 30%, and then various hacked together desktops with <1%. Guides should be set up for Gnome because you stick with defaults if you are that scared, maybe a reference for KDE, and if you chose something else then your already in copy/paste commands territory.

There was no part of me setting up SteamOS on my couch PC that required a terminal, which is what we are talking about here.

Zero.

Steam doesn’t require any terminal opening, the hard part are shitty Windows games that pop up boxes to install extra stuff because for some reason they can’t install it when you install the game.

I haven’t been required to use the terminal for anything in years.

Honestly. I’ve been using Linux as my daily driver since the mid-2000’s (Warty Warthog?), and the only times the terminal gets opened these days is through pure choice. Maybe 10 years ago I would agree with you.

I’m running Linux for my couch based gaming and the experience is awesome. Much better than Windows ever was.

What makes you think that Linux is holding Linux back? The UI can be completely customised which makes Steam OS wonderful to use while Microsoft completely ban any customised interface out of the box.

Windows is only popular through inertia.

The only reason I mention Frarage was the rest of the language in that piece was a bit off.

Ed Davey is alright, he is fun yet also completely sincere.

That Labour needs a Farage like face at the front to make it “fun”, or are you thinking more Ed Davey?

Not if you dont actually make them.

Depends if you go to Kentucky Fried Pigeon.

That’s high in calories.

What? Who introduced the Soft Drink levy?

You can’t say that anymore.

What are they wanting to say, that they feel they can’t?

You’ve used the wrong pronoun.

Oh, here we go.
