Yes, that's what it does by default. The problem happens when you open a new tab to search for something, for example, and the update screen and restart distract you and you forget what you were going to search for. It's like the feeling you get when you walk into a room and can't remember why.

Surely a chicken egg is an egg laid by a chicken though, not an egg containing a chicken, otherwise unfertilised eggs wouldn't be chicken eggs.

If the mutation occurs in the creature inside the egg, then it makes sense to me that that's where the new species begins. The chicken came first ๐Ÿค”

I'm going to stop saying chicken and egg now, it's getting ridiculous... ๐Ÿ˜

Either that, or the page says that it's been updated in the last month, but the content is about how to connect to the World Wide Web '(WWW)' with a free AOL floppy disc

It looks cool, but in reality the students were stuck there for hours, as he posed for photos, and sent each one off to be developed, before checking it and demanding a retake. After 17 hours, the teacher decided to go with the first shot after all

I can't comment on how many documents you have, but there's a free version of Office 365

I commented on the last post about this, the three stars are difficult to make out on a small screen, they look like a blurry capital A. On top of that, it's apparently used in astronomy to represent clusters of stars, like a constellation.

The whole point of this campaign appears to be to replace a unique symbol with one that's already in use and is hard to read at small sizes ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ

I've genuinely seen a post asking for help because DISM wouldn't run, where the recommended answer was to run DISM ๐Ÿ™ˆ

Emojis evolved from the smileys we had in the late 90s, which were mostly yellow, but could be in various colours, like red for the angry face. Those smileys evolved from the text versions like these :) or :D

I witnessed something like this once. I worked for a pawn shop, wiping and reinstalling Windows on computers they were selling, but occasionally working on one of the counters if they were short staffed.

One day a regular customer brought his PS2 in to trade, so it had to be tested first. The manager took it as a training moment for me and and a few others, and connected it to the main TVs around the store so that we could all see how he checked the system.

The customer had left a rather hardcore DVD in the drive and completely forgotten about it, until it started playing on the big screen, and everyone in the store learned about his preferences.

That's the other side of the confusion. You build houses out of sticks and paper, and live in somewhere called Tornado Alley...

While it sounds good on paper, in practice, they've screwed it up. They're putting the new speed limits in place on every 30mph road in Wales before they've put the public transport alternatives in place.

There's currently no reason for someone to switch to public transport, especially if the buses are going to be stuck at the same speed as the cars, but stopping regularly too. Our roads are too narrow to install bus lanes, and barely have enough room for single file traffic through lots of the towns and villages. The trains are being upgraded, but that's not scheduled to finish until at least next year, and at the moment they're slow and very unreliable. It feels like every week the trains are cancelled and an inadequate replacement bus service is put on.

I'm disabled, and have to travel from my town, Aberdare, to the main hospital in Cardiff, UHW, on a regular basis. If I had to leave now, it would take 42 minutes by car, or 2 hours and 6 minutes by public transport. The shortest journey is tomorrow morning and would take 1 hour and 31 minutes, more than double the time of the car journey. The closest inpatient hospital is 22 minutes by car, or over an hour by public transport. The difference the new speed limits are going to make is negligible compared to how slow public transport is here.

All this is going to do is annoy and upset people, and turn them off the idea of using public transport, and push a lot of people towards voting for the parties who were against this. Out of the main parties, that mainly seems to be the Conservatives, so that's going to be bad for all of us.

Hi all :)

This is more of a curiosity question than anything else.

About two or three weeks ago, I added two buildings and the businesses inside them through the OSM website. I haven't had a chance to do anything else yet.

I installed Organic Maps earlier to try it out, but noticed that my buildings weren't there. I tried OSMAnd+ and Street Complete too, but they still weren't there. They are there in Every Door though.

Is this normal? Does it take a while for updates to filter through to apps, or have I done something wrong?

EDIT: Sorry, I was tired when I posted this, and didn't realise that it made no sense to anyone else. I've got a set of panniers for the bike that attach under the seat, and they hold the smaller things, like my clothes and toiletries.

I remembered after I'd already attached my camping equipment to the top of the seat, meaning that it would have to be removed to fit the other luggage.

I run Mylar on my Xubuntu server to manage my comic collection. I found out recently that there's a tool that can convert the embedded .jpgs to .webp to save space, but it only works on cbz files and not cbr (zipped vs rar for those who don't know). I wanted to convert all of my cbr to cbz so that I could run the tool on all my comics, so I needed to search hundreds of subdirectories for them and move them to the same folder to be processed.

Under Windows, I'd just type *.cbr into the search bar built into Explorer from the root comic directory, hit enter to get a list of files, select them all, and move them to the new folder. On Xubuntu, it's nothing like as simple.

I found the search option in Thunar which opened Catfish, typed in *.cbr, and got a no files found message. After looking through the very limited options, I started searching for a way to do it. About thirty minutes later I'd found dozens of links telling me to use different, Terminal only, tools, but nothing about how to search subdirectories from the Catfish GUI. Purely by accident, I found a post from 2012 that mentioned the fact that Catfish doesn't use wildcards, so just search with .cbr, something that's not mentioned in the official docs.

I tried it, and it searched the subdirectories too, and found my files! Except there was no way to copy or cut and paste, just open, show in file manager, copy location, save as, or delete. No good options for almost 500 files across several dozen locations.

I ended up asking Chat GPT how to do it, and doing it through the Terminal, using this:

'find . -type f -name "*.cbr" -exec mv {} /path/to/destination ;'

This is pretty basic functionality, and I had to resort to getting help to use the Terminal :(
