human check

human check
switch to a different tab and go back to the pi forums tab

i think they might have the setting a bit too strict

I went to visit them a few times in the mid 1980s when the business across the road from where I was living (and that I hung out at most nights) at the time wanted to evaluate their twisted pair networking stuff for their training lab

Bought myself a knockoff wearable memo. You can tell it's a knockoff when erasing notes but it generally works. Shouldn't do that 3 trips to the store because I keep forgetting stuff thing anymore. Handy for quick notes when out and about without my normal EDC bag

Anyone else cook a full meal for everyone in the house but decide that you can't face it and make yourself a baked potato and while everyone is eating you keep getting jealous looks that you have a baked potato and they don't

Love licorice but anise is meh. You should try to find some sweet cicely seeds to munch on. they are licoricey tasting and can be used as a sugar substitute in baking but don't mistake hemlock for it

If you redefine working to mean well and truly effed up but does output 90% of what I expect

Think it might be a Rhur valley thing as I don't recall them in Hanover, Bremen, Hamburg or Berlin either but definitely Essen, Bochum, Gelsenkirchen,... It does look like they've become "proper" trams in the 30+ years since I was last there

having a google and youtube and looks like they have turned all the bussy-trains and trainy-buses in to underground-overground* trams these days.

When I "lived"* in Germany they had buses that turned into trains that turned into buses again they were fun.

Saturday will mark 38 years since I accidentally caused a run on a bank. All I did was tell my at the time boss the queue outside the bank I passed on my way in seemed quite long. while he was on the phone to a journalist. An hour later the line went around the bank 3 times & they locked the doors.
