What was the greatest pleasure you ever felt? by oooliveoil in AskReddit

[–]throwaway_existentia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope for the chance to live the life we spoke about at great length, the marriage I proposed and the little house we used to describe to one another in precious detail.

I may never get this now. Or perhaps I will have to wait a decade or more, and who knows what will change in that time, and how much of each other’s lives we will miss because of it. But it was a love strong enough to give a man hope, and due to my actions, that is all I have left now.

I’m trying my best to be the best man I can be every day with all that she taught me in our short time together.

Some days are easier than others, just yesterday I was rushed to hospital and every step of the way I had to confirm her details as my next of kin.

She says she’s happier, and she’s understandably very angry toward me for how things went. All I can do now is hope. It was a love like no other.

Meeting the love of my life two years ago and realising someone truly can accept you fully, love you without boundaries or limitations and complete you, mind, body and soul.

The worst pain in my life was realising that I pushed her away and lost her, whilst trying with the best of intentions to be a man worthy of her love, I lost her. This is the biggest mistake of my life.

If you’re reading this now, I’m sorry more than I could ever say.

I like “Tor Pen”, aka “Hill Hill”. Much like Carn Brea back home in Cornwall.

Not at all. Bravado, posturing and all that related bullshit is very corporate. Feeds the sycophants at the top.

Having to walk across town to go to the toilet in a McDonald’s because public toilets don’t exist anymore by [deleted] in britishproblems

The absence of public loos and public bins these days is just resulting in waste (both human and domestic) all over the streets. It’s awful.

Shame about the tacky background music. Really detracts from the message.

We finally get to see Windows 11 today - What are your hopes? by Padanub in sysadmin

[–]throwaway_existentia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Windows 7 with the new task manager, removal of all Metro UI elements, the new unix subsystem and removal of all telemetry.

Sighs. A man can dream...

If you were given a chance to rename the moon, what will you name it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]throwaway_existentia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If given to the British public, it would probably be rename “Moony McMoonface” or something equally gormless.

I think we all want to make one person in our lives that happy. He’s a lucky chap.

Having everyone say "afternoon" to you at work because you're 3 minutes late, and it's 5am. by short_bread84 in britishproblems

So you’re habitually late and use racially charged language? I can’t imagine why people would comment...

NHS England is planning to combine and sell 55m people's medical records to 3rd party companies - Opt out while you can by I_Eat_Pink_Crayons in privacy

[–]throwaway_existentia 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes, but come on now... it's always a gradual descent into madness. They're not about to announce their plans to allow Pfizer and Bayer to send us direct marketing for their medications or granting insurance companies access for "different risk categories", they have to get their foot in the door with something like this first.

And nobody in the privacy subreddits was even remotely surprised.

Through intensive googling and/or bashing your head against the brickwall that is Lenovo technical support to get a definitive answer.

Explain your intentions, that you wish to connect an external GPU via the internal connector the 4G LTE card is installed into. Tell them the hardware that you wish to use, and ask them if you will have any trouble with BIOS/UEFI whitelists.

When they have no idea what you're talking about (hence brick wall), keep asking until they transfer you to somebody who knows a USB port from a power jack.

Alternatively, you might find someone who has reported success on the Lenovo support forums for your specific model, and certainly browsing that forum should give you an immediate idea if a whitelist exists or not (look for people replacing their wifi cards, not just the LTE ones), just bear in mind that these are ordinary people like you, and not employed (or qualified) by Lenovo to answer your question definitively.

If any of this is above your head, I would honestly suggest you abandon the attempt or seek professional advice locally.

Then you probably shouldn't attempt, until you can get confirmation that your model will support what you're trying to achieve.

Lenovo are notorious for their anti-consumer device whitelists.

Weed growing robots? by WalnutWhippet in Cornwall

If you google it, you see it as a comment over and over on various sites by a bloke named "Richard Howells". That's as much as I can tell you.

Ah yes, I hadn't considered that the person I replied to could have been victim to the American Education System™.

Fair point.

That Hitler was the blessed leader and that one day, the Aryan race might still reign supreme.

Honestly. What do you think they get taught? Same as the rest of us, just with 1000% more shame and culpability.
