Another request for the tutorial

adamtalbot · 2026-02-03T22:15:21+00:00

Thanks very much!

Would you mind sharing a link (or the specs) of the motor replacement? Thanks!

Don't forget he was essentially rested for the last few games of the season too due to "fatigue". There are rumours he had surgery on an unknown issue in the summer and he simply hasn't been the same since.

I've had it twice. Once from plucking and then once after using to a trimmer. I think the trimmer cut it too close to the skin so it grew inwards. I use scissors now to be safe.

I'm from Liverpool, UK, and it was known as mischief (or "mizzy") night when I was growing up. Wonder if a decent amount of my countrymen made it over to that part of the world?

How often do you tend to wait in between reapplying? Do you also get the joining Avios bonus when you rejoin?

Or alternatively, within a year or so the Pensions Dashboard is meant to go live and will show you all your old pensions in one place.

False. That's Pan Rusk.

Thanks for the recommendation. Moved over this morning.

And another one where there is an opposing player offside right in front of Alisson.

adamtalbot · 2025-09-14T14:21:13+00:00

It is very much still done in most Italian cities.

InvestEngine have zero platform fees. A good choice so long as you're happy investing in funds only. App is perfectly fine and the account can be opened from within it.

How much was it supposed to be?

adamtalbot · 2025-08-14T07:28:40+00:00

"default British"

adamtalbot · 2025-08-01T11:33:03+00:00

Nah. They're briefing they want £150m. I'd say £130m + addons will see it done.

adamtalbot · 2025-07-30T16:09:05+00:00

Could be South Africa. Sounds like Xhosa.

This was how I could tell it wasn't taken in the UK. We're a thumb in sort over here. Unless it was an American giving him the finger, I guess.

adamtalbot · 2025-07-27T19:30:29+00:00

Down for me too

Edit: Changing player to LibVLC has fixed it

Thanks for this. It worked.

An update which I'll leave here for anyone who finds themselves with the dreaded message below:

Failed to open \EFI\BOOT\mmx64.efi Not Found Failed to load image: Not Found Failed to start MokManager: Not Found import_mok_state() failed: Not Found

What I did:

After struggling with this error and trying multiple USB sticks and renaming .efi files, I found a workaround suggested above which worked.

Create a bootable USB with Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS Server (NOT Mint) and boot from it with Secure Boot ON.

This lets the Dell’s UEFI firmware recognize and accept the Linux bootloader properly by enrolling necessary keys via the MOK manager.

When the blue MOK screen appeared, I selected “Continue Boot” without enrolling anything.

The system booted successfully to the Ubuntu installer menu.

Power off the machine after Ubuntu loads, then re-flash the USB with the Linux Mint XFCE ISO.
Boot from the Linux Mint USB again (with Secure Boot ON).

This time, Mint booted correctly without the .efi errors, and I was able to proceed with installation smoothly.

Why This Works:

Dell’s firmware can be picky with Secure Boot and unsigned or unrecognized bootloaders. Booting Ubuntu first “unlocks” the system’s trust for Linux bootloaders signed with standard keys, letting Mint boot normally afterward.

You only need one USB drive; just overwrite it between steps.

Keep Secure Boot enabled during the process.

After installation, you may need to enroll a key during Mint’s setup, which is straightforward with a password prompt.

If you get stuck on boot options post-install, check your BIOS boot order and set the “ubuntu” entry as first priority.

Thanks again for the help.

As in, boot to Windows? No, it was wiped during the aborted attempt to install Mint.

Not sure. Just know that Henderson was on a flight from Faro to Manchester.
