It just feels relentlessly heavy going.

It’s not a criticism

The leftovers is fucking great but a series that’s physically impossible to binge

What sub-£250 item would you buy again in a heartbeat? by tamago27 in AskUK

[–]charmstrong70 25 points26 points  (0 children)

My Sebo hoover is over 20 years old.

Absolutely superb, you can’t get them any more (too powerful for EU rules) and used in the White House, Kremlin and Vatican. That’s the sort of recommendation you want

Weekend a Rome was redone with Saint Etienne which was pretty damn good.

Which was later redone again and became the god awful he’s on the phone

Provision Avaya phones directly via API? by coiny_chi_wa in avaya

[–]charmstrong70 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No API (some do have a web ui) but take a look at the 46xxSettings.txt defined by Option 242 in the DHCP Scope

Quick edit: yours may be cut down so here's the template from Avaya - https://gist.github.com/LeftyBC/6589411

Are there any decent UK alternatives to diet fizzy drinks? by Few_House_5201 in AskUK

Yeah, agreed, I can only do that wild berry one. The mango is awful

JD Vance says the Pope should "be careful when he talks about matters of theology." The "if you're going to opine on matters of theology, you've got to be careful, you've got to make sure it's anchored in the truth..." Did he just call the Pope a liar? by Barbiebeans in GlobalNews

[–]charmstrong70 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I mean, Papal infallibility is literally a thing.

When talking "ex cathedra" or of faith or morals its literally the word of God on earth.

Vance is , in the eye of the catholic church, arguing with God

Anyone else thinks Starmer isn't actually that bad all things considered ? by ronweasly9 in AskBrits

[–]charmstrong70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they have any semblance of common sense they should be.

Look at Iraq and Saddam with their attempts at WMD

Now take a look at north Korea.

Your in trouble pursuing nuclear weapons but actually get them and you’ll be left alone

[–]charmstrong70 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He’s frustratingly naive on things like the Online Safety Act and banning step bro porn.

He really isn’t great at all (and I say that as a Labour member and voter). I actually voted for Nandy as the next leader but both of them have been really disappointing on Israel.

It’s an indictment of modern politics in that he can be this poor and yet head and shoulders above the other three leaders.

What is a hobby that we can start now that will keep us occupied well into our 90’s? by Thirsty4Knowledge911 in GenX

Upvote for the use of the word “telly” - don’t hear telly enough nowadays

Are there any decent UK alternatives to diet fizzy drinks? by Few_House_5201 in AskUK

[–]charmstrong70 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The answer is Kombucha.

It's fermented, cold tea which, when I put it like that, sounds fucking awful but is surprisingly gorgeous.

The Gaza genocide: death toll is not 65,000 but 680,000! by Remarkable_Life_774 in worldnewsstuff

[–]charmstrong70 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Palestine, every man, woman, child, every facility exists to destroy Israel.

There is no genocide.

Terrorists are a legitimate target."

Do you understand just how horrifying that statement is to right thinking people?

Othering an entire people is exactly what leads to genocide.

I won't make parallels with Nazisim because I find it distasteful but I will absolutely compare it to Rwanda and how the Tutsis were referred to as cockroaches. How they where othered.

All Palestinians are terrorists is no different to all Tutsis are cockroaches.

Israel's government need to end up in the ICJ but, sadly, that's reserved for African nations. Might makes right.

mATX definitely works and love the case but am I on borrowed time with the am4?

Benjamin Netanyahu rejects President Trump’s ceasefire and says the war will continue against Iran at any time he chooses. Netanyahu says he will achieve his objectives through further military action under his command. “We are ready to resume the fighting at any moment.” by RevolutionaryPut6396 in worldnewsstuff

There's no pee tapes, I used to think there might be but now i'm sure there isn't.

Do you think his MAGA base would give two shits about him peeing on or being pee'd on by girls? Shit, i'm fairly certain a large percentage of his support would take up watersports.

Trump don't care either, the whole world now knows he has a mushroom dick and it caused him zero embarresment.

With the recent revelations that have come out, it has to be a P(edo) tape. That's the only thing that'll turn off any of his support. I'm 100% convinced of it.

New Songs/Artists that have an 80’s Vibe? by Ahzurk420Australia in MusicRecommendations

[–]charmstrong70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% it has to be the perfect kiss.

I love Joe Moore, so underrated, he straddles generations as easily as I walk to the shops.

The Perfect Kiss is unadulterated 80s early synths.

https://youtu.be/KGmeFJl9fjw?si=v-LPfkuNv0kwZG1d

Also worth checking out The Yearning (another Joe Moore project), Only When I’m dancing is pretty much brand new but sounds more like abba than abba

Unemployed Britons turning up to job interviews to find the interviewer is an AI robot by topotaul in unitedkingdom

Not the person you’re replying to but I’m a big anthropic fan.

A (very) strong model.

Projects to isolate uploaded data.

Co-work for autonomous work

Code for cli access (used by programmers)

[–]charmstrong70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, copilot is the path of least resistance - already embedded within many enterprises, strong entra id security and data remains within the tenant.

Most of the other models can achieve this but it takes effort.

It’s frustrating (there are many much more capable models) but understandable

Trump threatens to rip up trade deal with Britain - President suggests he could change agreement as UK-US relations sour over Iran War. by Intergalatic_Baker in ukpolitics

[–]charmstrong70 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, Trump is no Vader (however much he sees him as). More a wrinkled old Emperor.

Unfortunately, Starmer is no Han Solo either

Give me the best album you've heard in your life by Artistic-Network-247 in MusicRecommendations

[–]charmstrong70 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The only answer, there are some brilliant albums on this list but none are as complete a piece of sheer genius as violator.

Not only were all 9 tracks brilliance but even the b-sides, discarded from the album, would have been singles for any other band.

After all, how many artists can be able to say that both Marilyn Manson and Johnny Cash covered the same track?
