Others have answered your questions. Just wanted to point out that 256GB is not very big, depending on how much your brother wants to download (and how much of what he downloads he wants to keep).

Two more weeks

Fucking pigs. Makes me sick

Don’t you mean, “I’m not half the man I used to be”?

I’d like to see him from the start

I do suffer from depression. Two things that made a big difference for me in terms of sleeping through the night were regular exercise and wearing earplugs. YMMV

Doesn’t seem to be an issue for Aussies atm.

I did update my marketing preferences (thanks to those who mentioned checking them).

Good call

Non-existent

So sorry for your loss

The thought is equal measures expiring and terrifying

So, Nwaneri & Havertz in front of Thomas? With Trossard or perhaps Sterling up front? Makes me nervous, but would be pretty good fun to see that line up kick that lot up the ass.

Beautiful guitar. I hope it gives you many years of enjoyment.

Thanks for the reply, and good to know!

I think I’ll blow away the windows install on this machine completely.

I still have another pc for some audio tools that don’t run under Linux, but this machine is my daily driver now and I couldn’t be happier.

So, excusing my ignorance as a fairly recent Linux convert, what does this mean for my dual boot system?

I haven’t booted windows for weeks and am pretty sure there have been no updates since it was freshly reinstalled (maybe 6 months ago) as a dual boot with Debian.

Is this only a problem if I allow Windows to update?

Are Microsoft likely to fix the issue in a subsequent release?

Waiting on Eddie to go I’d say

With those other rules in place no self-respecting Penguin would set foot in that place anyway

Harsh, but fair

To add to this, look at how the scales/modes/pentatonics fit around the chord shapes. If you play an A bar chord at the 5th fret for example and start picking the notes out of the chord you’re actually picking notes from the major and pentatonic scales in A. Map out how those scales fit with the chord shapes and you’ll pick up a few other moves that you can easily translate around the neck as the chords change. This video gave me a lot of new ideas in that regard https://youtu.be/w6TV-nF-_hk?si=BvRuCen2dkY-i1y6

He’s gone 😢
