    Any fellow Linux users on here?

    Just thought I should add - some very old games actually require an old graphics card if you want them to display properly. For these I use an emulator - Emulator of retro x86-based machines I've tried just about all of them and this one is by far the best. Create a virtual machine then grab...

    Any fellow Linux users on here?

    I just use wine itself and winetricks without the third party front ends to set my games up. The trick is to create a fake windows drive (Wine Prefix) that mimics the era of the games you want to play. There's no limit to the number of these you can have, I have different prefixes for different...

    Flashcards vs reading---Worthwhile when tired?

    You might be joking but it's not far from the truth. Andrew is lazy. Andrew puts no effort in. Andrew has done no written work and no homework. Straight As for every subject.

    Creative Disagreement--trying to find the underlying principle

    Aussies tend to be a bit more blunt than that. "Move them or lose them lady!" :)

    Had another run in with my (un)friendly local bully today.

    I still highly recommend to go to the police and make an official statement called a Statutory Declaration. Even if you don't intend to take things any further make sure that statement is on record. And every time there's another incident go back to your local cop shop and make another Stat Dec...

    Flashcards vs reading---Worthwhile when tired?

    I'm one of those that never studied in my life and as a child I had trouble understanding why people had to. The teacher explained things well enough in class but by the time they get home from school just a few hours later they've forgotten it all? Goldfish! I didn't even have to listen to the...

    Any fellow Linux users on here?

    Sort of defunct really, especially for gamers. It presents the wrong experience to people new to linux, one of it's greatest properties is that it's just so much faster than windows, but you're not going to experience that inside a virtual box with the Windows Desktop still running in the...

    These two statements conflict each other - please clarify The landlady had video footage? You had video footage?

    Your pseudo-skills?

    I always had to do this too, audio processing disorder. I really only communicate well when I'm face to face in front of them and can see them clearly. Video conferencing is nowhere near as good, especially if the sound quality is poor.

    The last thing that made you laugh

    I grew up with a lot of British TV and Australia produced a few very successful shows using a similar format. One of our classics was a role reversal of Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em called Mother and Son. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088573/ I met the star of this show, Ruth Cracknel, in real...

    Your pseudo-skills?

    That was something I realised very early on. When I left school I also left everyone in it and never looked back because if I ever tried to associate with any of those people they'd make sure I remained trapped as I was when I was a kid. Once a pattern is set it's almost impossible to break. I...

    Roku Media Player Blues

    Have a play with Grip, it's in your standard repository. It's primarily a CD ripper but can also be used to convert other formats to MP3 and it allows you to edit the exif information in MP3s. It will attempt to get album information from IMDB but if it can't find any it will ask you to fill in...

    Earthworms do this too, break one in half and the two ends will heal over and regrow the rest of their body, then you'll have two worms.

    Your pseudo-skills?

    That I think is one of the most important tips, first impressions count for so much. When I walk in to a room I don't just own the room, to everyone it's obvious that I own the entire building and the surrounding suburbs. I don't stomp or strut, I glide like a dancer. @JayLapointe mentioned...

    Brevity...tips?

    People keep telling me that they don't want an essay, they want something less than a page and laid out with bullet points. But I write pretty much the same as I speak and I don't know how to speak in bullet points. (reminds me of those kids in school that thought reading was hard work and...

    The Inherent Loneliness of Autism

    This is the same for me as well, and as Juice mentioned it does burn me out, but consider the situation on a transactional level. What do I want and what am I prepared to pay for it? OP wants a girlfriend but isn't prepared to put in any of the effort required to meet one. Good luck with that.

    Getting into watchmaking as a beginner with little money to go around

    I agree with WhiteWaterWoman. I think the best place to start is by talking to your local watchmaker, ask him where you could get a bit of "hands on" learning. He might know of other watchmakers looking to take on an apprentice.

    The Inherent Loneliness of Autism

    Most of us don't get life handed to us on a gilded platter. We get nothing that we don't work for, relationships included. Surely you would take a hint from this that your behaviour is unacceptable and needs to change. Go out and meet people and actually pay attention to what they say. Ask...
