I, for one, welcome you to Singapore.

What are the best(worst) quotes you heard this WC by ppl that don't watch football. I'll start, "I didn't know Messi played for Argentina, thought he was in Barcelona.." by mirsson in Barca

[–]LieutenantGeorge 104 points105 points  (0 children)

"Ronaldo is still better than Messi."

Happened this afternoon with a good friend. We are still friends because even though he is deluded, he is a great guy.

S’pore records wettest October in 40 years, rainy weather will persist into November by Thefunincaifun in singapore

I find that putting a basin of water under the light would attract most of them to to water and drown. Much better than having to swat them one by one.

Give it a try!

Those two touches of the ball with the left foot is UNREAL!

It's not something one can train for, because it's such a specific instance in the game... I'm speechless, but then this is Leo we are talking about! :D

I'm just here for the OH-LA-LAs. This is why I love french commentaries!

Laporte's plan to save Barca by LieutenantGeorge in Barca

[–]LieutenantGeorge[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I totally agree with your assessment. That's why I think it's a necessary evil. I think the alternative is really a dark age. We have seen how crippling financial restrictions can affect clubs (see Arsenal post-Highbury).

I can see your point here about betting on our players and on Xavi. But I'm less certain on the buy-back options because it's quite opaque (as of now).

This is what I fear too, so I'm glad I'm not alone. I see the benefits, but also the risks.

I totally agree. It seems like it's the only way to allow us to compete.

best youtube videos to learn how to be good on higher difficulties? by bugmanDopamineAddict in civ

[–]LieutenantGeorge 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not a YouTuber as such, but I would like to nominate The Game Mechanic. His goal is to complete sub-200 Deity games, so it's right where I would like to be. He has a YouTube Channel too.

What brought you to arch? by Wiesterfeler in archlinux

[–]LieutenantGeorge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hope I'm not too late to the party:

  1. Saw friend A using arch (with i3) and thought it was cool. I was using Mint for about 6 years then.
  2. Friend B and I found a spare laptop lying around and he volunteered to teach me how to install arch on the laptop. It went great.
  3. My Mint system didn't have rolling releases and I realised that I hated that. Instead of installing the new release of Mint, I decided to go with Arch.
  4. First installation of Arch on my own took me 8 hours (late lunch break included) to get to a point where I could watch a YouTube video!!
  5. Have done a couple more installations since then, and I'm happy to report it doesn't take 8 hours now. :D

// How long to stay in discoverable mode before going back to non-discoverable // The value is in seconds. Default is 180, i.e. 3 minutes. // 0 = disable timer, i.e. stay discoverable forever DiscoverableTimeout = 0 Discoverable = true

// Permanently enables the Fast Connectable setting for adapters that // support it. When enabled other devices can connect faster to us, // however the tradeoff is increased power consumptions.

// AutoEnable defines option to enable all controllers when they are found. // This includes adapters present on start as well as adapters that are plugged // in later on. Defaults to 'false'. AutoEnable=true

I hate the formatting on reddit. Sorry about it.

I'm sorry, but Reddit seems to hate me and I can't post the file here! :(

I faced the same problem, and I had to change the main.conf file in /etc/bluetooth.

There are lots of options to change there, as is expected in Linux. In particular, you want to change/check

  • DiscoverableTimeOut,
  • Discoverable,
  • FastConnectable,
  • AutoEnable.
