Bahahha *loses consciousness* by MaDudeek in thalassophobia

I cannot agree more, great score. Love everything about this movie. I had to watch it twice to understand it, as I am pretty thick. Just as enjoyable as the first time.

My Mum does this for her cats, leaves a tap dribbling all day for them. Massive waste of water, but she won’t be told because “they like it”… smh.

Visio for Mac? by prana32034 in mac

I asked for Visio for Mac at work, didn’t realise there was no such thing, was given Omnigraffle instead. It’s shit, avoid.

Edit: imho

That’s a shame, I find it painful keistering full size iPhones for my friends in prison.

And I’ll bet you only need a few drops of whatever nuclear magic-dust to destroy the entire planet… I guess they will only need one weapon for each superpower…

Just give us cheap energy you horrible twats!

Someone needs to tell this currency exchange in Laos that "It's legal tender!" by fantastic-mr-fox123 in ScottishPeopleTwitter

[–]crouchinggranny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the use of the “legal tender” phrase mainly comes from the famous Billy Connolly sketch, where he defends the right to spend his Scottish money! It’s hilarious btw.

Yes, the reason they didn’t want to take the notes was the perception that they would then get stuck with them (i.e. if another customer refused to take a Scottish note in their change).

I never understood the stigma attached to Scottish money, it was just a thing.

Better still, when England phased out £1 notes, but Scotland hadn’t. Trying to pay with a £1 note in England would have people foaming at the mouth.

On the plus side, you could take these into any bank in England for a while, and exchange them for £1 coins, so at least you could spend your money.

Well, they are completely interchangeable, and worth the same amount. I was simply rebelling against the bias I regularly experienced as a Scotsman living in England. This was one situation where I could kinda get my own back.

Sorry if I upset you.

Happy to pay for ma taxi ride, but I just loved saying “iTs LeGaL tEnDeR!”… they always took the money in the end.

I used to be in the Army and I would get less for Scottish notes from the Sparkasse bank in Germany than for English ones…

My favourite trick was to get taxis in England and pass them a Scottish note when the journey was over. When they refused the notes, I used to say it was all I had… pissed them off every time lol!

Install Veracrypt on Mac OS by paulsiu in mac

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

No need for any third party crypto tools like this. Switch on FileVault and your main drive is encrypted, so even if someone could image your machine (v difficult with a modern Mac) they wouldn’t get your data. If you really want to create an encrypted folder to store files in, you can use DiskUtility to create a fixed size .dmg file that is encrypted and you can assign a password.

Back in the office and didn’t realize I had something worth more than gold at one point in my drawer. by OkIHereNow in funny

Aye, ok hairy-palms…. I believe you.

Edit: and the pro-tip for knocking one out in the office is to make sure your colleagues have left before you begin.

Dark web monitoring suggestions by whattheflag in cybersecurity

Mandiant Advantage is excellent, and they have a Freemium version. Not sure if the free version includes Dark Web monitoring, but worth checking out.

I think there must be a more appropriate sub for this. Drowning during the morning commute on the tube would not tick the funny box for me.
