Yep, I use libre office and despise the archaic file based menus. I had no idea there was a ribbon based alternative.

Exactly as you described I probably dismissed any tedious popups that blocked me from diving straight into the program.

Can anyone summarise the new ending?

Money also gives you access to resources to help you recover quickly and effectively.

Money also brings positive attention.

In another universe Musk is just a lonely incel. But as a billionaire there's an endless line of celebrities, gold diggers, porn stars, prostitutes etc lining up to please his every whim.

Well the "AI" we have today doesn't think, it has no intelligence, it simply recycles things it's heard before

They did an incredibly job finding unique filming locations across Northumberland.

0:05 https://youtu.be/IYGG55qwQZQ?t=5

The opening scenes are filmed in the maintenance tunnel beneath the dam at Kielder Water https://maps.app.goo.gl/UypK6WEymBMgVwTp9

The island scenes are filmed on Lindisfarne/Holy Island, although it looks like they'd heavily edited the layout and re-arranged it https://maps.app.goo.gl/HwWQGx6Ciqtqusoq6

River scenes are filmed at Plankey Mill / Allen Banks and Stawards Gorge https://maps.app.goo.gl/d5xcQ961bk9yA5p79

Lindisfarne again. Note the castle has been removed from the background.

I'm not sure where the beach scene is. I'm not aware of a forest right on a sandy beach like this in Northumberland so I suspect it might be heavily edited. They were filming at Matthews Linn in Kielder Forest so there's a possibility it is here: https://www.bing.com/maps?cp=55.20521%7E-2.563028&lvl=17.4&style=h

I have no idea where the abandoned house is. They were filming somewhere along the Forest Drive at Kielder so it could be in that area.

The stony beach is just below Hawkhope Car Park by the dam at Kielder Water https://maps.app.goo.gl/YNrGnMepoeeF1fVP8

1:14 https://youtu.be/IYGG55qwQZQ?t=74

The following scene with the high concrete walls are filmed inside the spillway beside the dam. https://maps.app.goo.gl/9h2aoLdx9hXfMDdh7

They re-painted this abandoned petrol station at Knowesgate to become the Happy Eater. This is my personal favourite because despite them going for a dystopian, abandoned aesthetic they literally made it look better. https://maps.app.goo.gl/HnfEDbE3nGbxviQ57

Possibly because it's presented how news used to be - a simple statement of fact without embellishment or click bait.

Would you rather:

You won't BELIEVE how this weapon built by British boffins can yeet hundreds of Russian drones from the sky in seconds

Even that's more steps than necessary.

Just serve your website with Caddy and it handles certs for you. The config is absolutely trivial compared to Apache, nginx, etc

If you're truly unaware of why TLS is necessary or how to automate the process then you should probably retire.

Archaic attitudes like yours are precisely why these restrictions are necessary.

It was a great show.

Rob was a little weird in the first few episodes. It felt like he was still playing Mac just in another context. It didn't take long for /Iron/ to become his own character though and the rest of the cast are superb.

Boost has user tagging as well.

Only issue is the tag and report dialogs look exactly alike and multiple times I've unknowingly clicked report in error. I'm kinda surprised I never got criticised for abusing the report function when all I've written is "pro-russia" or "idiot"

Perhaps it wasn't true the books then, but movie Snape was a believable age to have been at school at the same time as Harry's parents. It's just for whatever reason the author made the parents ridiculously young

"Mirror, signal, manoeuvre" is what we're taught in the UK. So according to our highway code you're acting correctly,but obvs that may be different elsewhere.

Basically you only signal after you've confirmed there is space and that it is safe to do so, therefore the time between indicating and actually acting is minimal.

The main problem you see is some people drive aggressively and use signalling as a demand that others make space for them, move out of their way etc. That's not how it's meant to work.
