Actually Insane

Reply in thread

Putin was and is not crazy, do not make this mistake. Vile, murderous, clinging to power, corrupt, immoral - all yes. Bit he is very rational in his own way. So is Kim, I think, but I do lack info here.

Trump, on the other hand, does look properly crazy now. And that is my last hope for this world, that he finally shows it in a clinical way and americans wake up before this is all over for us.

Then vs Now

Ok, that got me. I still remember the days of ZX and that funny noise... But I do have a question for one part of the meme: can someone explain to me why on Earth the updates now weigh these tens of gigs? I can accept that hires textures and other assets can take that space, but these are most likely not the bits that are being updated most of the time. Why don't devs just take the code they actually update and send that our way?

First one to count all the ceiling spots wins!

Bought my place from a family of Hindu fixer-uppers. The house ticked almost all the boxes for us, so totally no regrets (after spending a lot on redoing things,but that is another matter).

There still is one quirk left that I cannot explain though. The guys built an extension, adding roughly 15sqm to the living room. That was actually one of the major selling points for us as we did not want to do such a big project on our own from day one.

BUT. They somehow thought that would be a grand idea to put 14 ceiling lights there. Almost 1 per sqm. My eyes bleed if all are on! Luckily, they split it into 2 groups, so I can use only 6 - and that is bright enough.
