  • Vegemite - i don't hate it, i don't love it. Am i missing something?

    Jump

  • This is the way. It's still an acquired taste but each variant of *mite and from different countries is a different take.

    I've seen videos of Americans who slap on the *mite like Nutella - they're gonna have a bad time even if they love the stuff.

  • Need for Speed: Most Wanted – The game that got me into racing

    Jump

  • I love me a cunning stunt!

  • I used to love computing as a hobby, but now it feels like it's a source of evil in the world, how have you dealt with this?

    Jump

  • Absolutely, was in the same boat as you.

    Got burnt out with the corporate job but now I've moved to another discipline, I have my mojo back for messing with PCs.

    The last few years I've delved into all the things I've wanted to but never took the time. I'm all in on Linux from mid-last year - which in itself has reinvigorated my curiosity for everything.

    I've recently started leaning html to create a basic web page with the intention of joining the indie web, then when I tire off those, I'm keen to contribute to oss projects (support because I can't code)

  • What's a song where you like a remix or cover better than the original?

  • 90% of the NZ population was right behind this... And then the tobacco lobby got their fingers into the govt and they folded like the cheap 1-ply TP they are. Fuckers!

  • Israel says Thunberg more influential ‘antisemite’ than Fuentes

    Jump

  • I would argue that "Get-em-Yahoo" is the leading cause of antisemitism globally right now!

  • What's a movie you have seen that one thing annoyed you and you can't watch it again after thinking about the annoying part the first time?

    Jump

  • Best explanation I've come up with (or maybe I've heard somewhere?) for Arnie's accent is that it's a cover for unusual behavior if he needs to blend in (vs blasting everyone in sight). If he sounded like a local, he would be expected to act like a local, even down to 'modern' lingo and pop culture references of the time/place he's been sent to.

    With his Austrian accent, it's immediately obvious that he's "not from around here" which would disarm a lot of suspicion around any odd behavior.

    This comes back around in T2 when he's introduced as "Uncle Bob". It's obviously a cover for the relationship but the accent somewhat masks most unusual behavior. Doesn't talk much? Perhaps he isn't strong on English. Doesn't pick up on social ques? He's just not from here. Drinks motor oil instead of tequila? Wait, what!?

  • My wife called Fonzie "Fonzo", and now I can't help but imagine Muppet Happy Days.

    Jump

  • I would watch this. Have long thought that the Muppets should remake iconic movies but it would make sense to remake one-off episodes of tv shows too

  • Learning Linux via AI

    Jump

  • That's a good point and something I haven't really considered but will keep that in mind moving forward - that's part of my problem is not really being aware of what already exists or the most suitable method (or for different distros).

    That's what ended up getting me into trouble on Bazzite when I was attempting to use Fedora documentation thinking it's similar and broke boot trying to mess with fstab. Only recently found out why that didn't work!

  • Oh, thanks will look into those, might be a good alternative!

  • Which country has the best soup + sandwich combination?

    Jump

  • New Zealand.

    Maggi Onion Soup (powdered soup mix), reduced cream, a splash of malt vinegar. Mix and cool in fridge to set.

    Scoop and press between two potato chips of your choosing.

  • After 6 Years, One of Wayland’s Most Annoying Problems is Finally Getting Fixed

    Jump

  • Excuse my dumb, does this mean when I close a window/application in a particular location/size, when I launch it again, it returns to the last known size/location? Or does this only address crash/restore scenarios?

  • US has fired 850 Tomahawk missiles into Iran - leaving some officials concerned about dwindling supply

    Jump

  • Trump is preparing the us for invasion. Invasion by Russia. Exhaust the military supplies, run the world's fuel supply dry so that tanks etc are useless and no one can come help, then Russia, still flush with oil can walk in with their remaining hardware unopposed

  • The yard needs cleaning

    Jump

  • Looks perfectly acceptable to me!

  • How much proof is there that smart tvs and phones listen to you?

    Jump

  • Think of something you've never mentioned or discussed before, then out of nowhere, start having a conversation with a friend about it, how much you like it and are thinking about getting it, taking lessons etc then see what happens over the next week on either your or your friend's ads (turn off ad blocker if you use one).

    I recommend something completely unusual for most people like an instrument (didgeridoo or cowbell)

  • Wealth Taxes Are Pointless While Tax Havens Exist

    Jump

  • Except often a good number of their assets exist in the real world. Businesses, buildings & land. These can be taxed regardless of their global location.

    We can find fun new ways to apply horrendous taxes that penalize this behavior but reduce them for those who behave in a decent way. Maybe we start taxing turnover on companies use the Irish double sandwich-whatever trick to minimize tax. Either they play ball and contribute to society or they GTFO and someone else takes their slice
