Ah, but with a drum kit you could join a band, tour the world and pick up lots of hot chicks.
With a pressure washer you might be able to clean a patio or two, earn some loose change and be constantly covered in mud.
Drum kit.
Pressure washers seem great 'n' all until you use them. Then you end up soaked, splattered and covered in all kinds of shit. I used mine once to clean a driveway and no longer wish to repeat the experience. I didn't even bother trying to wash the clothes I was wearing as it would have buggered up my washing machine. I just dumped them in the trash.
With a drum kit you don't even have to leave the house.
Melanie Philips is an arsehole.
It's always worked for me.

Satisfaction at making your asshole boss do something that he/she clearly didn't want to do. Satisfaction that you made it as awkward as possible for them. You can also play the game of threatening to take them to an industrial tribunal for harassment. They might even give you a financial incentive to go peacefully. It worked for me on a couple of occasions and the bastards deserved it.
Make them fire you. I've done it that way loads of times when dissatisfied in a workplace. There's nothing quite like being fired and out of work to make you get your shit together and find something else. Also, make a plan to become self-employed if you can. Having been fired loads of times I now work for myself and it was the best move I ever made. I no longer have to deal with asshole mangers any more and if there's someone you dislike and don't want to work for, you can either not take on the job or over-quote on the costs to get rid of them. Sometimes they're stupid enough to agree to those costs, so then you at least feel satisfied about working for an asshole.
Yup. "The map is not the territory" as Alfred Korzybski put it.
2012!?
Holy Smokes!
I thought I was late by 2005.
Zelenskyy's Jewish, right?
My dog is better than all humans. There'd be no forgiveness. Only murder.
Biden can read!?
As a person living in Scotland I was initially perplexed why this was even a story. I mean, isn't this what Americans do? Shoot each other all the time?
If the guy that was shot was a bum living out of a dumpster at the back of McDonald's would this even be a story? And therein lies my initial naivety: this was a CEO of a company ranked 8th on the 2024 Fortune Global 500, and therefore a very important person indeed apparently.
Money talks and bullshit walks I guess.
As for the shooter, I haven't really been following the story, but I guess he was someone who got fucked over by the health insurance company.
To me this is just box standard America: people shooting each other, fat folk eating too much, car chases, wars everywhere, idiots for presidents, corrupt companies. The kind of stuff that's in every Hollywood movie.
As an outsider looking in, it's kind of sad yet fascinating watching the most powerful country in the world fall apart.
He's also just been muted by the moderators. If you look at his profile, he's only been on Lemmy for 9 hours. Probably a bot or ex-Xitter troll.
I miss all the crashes, the blue screen of death, the automatic updates that reconfigure all the personal changes you made to try make Windows work better, and all the hunting around for cracked proprietary software.
According to this site there has been an increase although I'm not sure how they get their figures in a war zone that nobody is allowed in or out of (other than the IDF stormtroopers that is):

That said, populations do generally increase wherever there's starvation and hardship. It's a human instinct to survive by producing more offspring.
The figures of those murdered by Israel is probably closer to 200,000 but we won't know until the dust settles and Netanyahu is rightfully hanging by the neck for warcrimes.
Probably just a bot.
Must be all the settler building contractors moving in to divvy up the land for beachfront accomodation. One thing's for sure, the population of Israel keeps increasing because every yahoo with a yamaka wearing grandad gets instant citizenship.
What the fuck is antisemitic about arresting a genocidal maniac? "Liberal Democractic Nation" is not how I would describe that settler colonial fascist state. A bunch of fucking smug, self-righteous, land thieves is a more appropriate description. Besides, the term "Semitic" to describe Jews in Israel is inappropriate. Most of them are of European or American origin. Semitic people or Semites is a term for an ethnic, cultural or racial group associated with people of the Middle East, including Arabs, Jews, Akkadians, and Phoenicians. Judaism is not a race, it's a religion (i.e. a cult, or more appropriately a "death cult").
Like already mentioned here, back up first. I use a tool called Foxclone for hard drive image backups. Many would recommend Clonezilla, but I can vouch for Foxclone as I know it works from personal experience and the interface is really intuitive.
If you installed your Linux distro to dual boot alongside an existing Windows machine, you might need to move the Linux partitions after deleting Windows in order to resize the Linux partitions. This is something that can be done later once you know everything is working okay.
