Not finished with that one, but I’m enjoying it. I love Peter Capaldi! As for Brit comedies in general, it varies, but I mostly like them. I have some more coming. I kind of went down a Reddit hole!
So far, the only dud for me has been Stath Lets Flats. By episode 2 I noped out. The guy is just such a useless prick. I know someone is going to tell me it gets better at some point, but I’m not sure i want to give it that kind of time!
I think he maybe referenced “Firing Cheeseballs at a Dog on TM. It sounds familiar. I’ll have to look that stuff up. Thanks for the rec!
Coming from ‘Merca, I wholeheartedly support this measure. If one lesson was learned from WWII, it’s that as soon as you’ve identified a bully, you have to accept that diplomacy is no longer an option. Bullies don’t understand diplomacy, and don’t respect it. All they know, or respond to, is what they perceive as strength and/or power. At a more basic level, friendship means nothing to them because it’s a foreign concept.
Dating is essentially butt-sniffing. The longer you do it, the more familiar it all is. And it is a commitment - for many they’re committing to focus their interest on one person for a bit to see if they want to make it a longer commitment.
That said, I got a great piece of advice after getting out of a long relationship. A friend told me romantic relationships only end in one of two ways: you break up or someone dies. You only have control over one of those scenarios, so how can it be a Bad Thing all the time?
Y’all, every relationship is different, sometimes wildly different. It’s true that every relationship takes some work. How much is dependent on the relationship itself.
Slowest pitch in history.
Same.
He went to Penn, too, right?
“Ireland to lead EU drive to kill social media.”
FTFY.
This is the mentality to have through November, 2026.
It's just... ugly. It's kind of a retro-ish, but chunky design. It really shows it full ugliness in the Finder windows, especially when you column view (which I default to). It looks like a design by committee mishmash of stuff that all collides. I'm not normally one to hate on stylistic choices in an OS. I've never had much interest in "ricing" my environment, but I'm really just not a fan of this.
All the individual little "bubbles" of things instead of buttons, or even just borderless areas denoted by an icon. The way the left column looks like it's just plopped down on top of the rest of the content. Like it's a separate entity, but it's not. Especially noticeable in how the lower cookie crumb trail at the bottom of the window just abruptly ends at the border to the left column. Also, the color choice for the sliders is... bold. Almost the most noticeable thing in the screenshot! This looks like a Linux Enlighenment DE theme from the early `00s trying to emulate OS-X. The dark view looks slightly better.
About the only positive thing I can find is the tolerances around the edges of windows for resizing feels more forgiving than in the past & w/ other operating systems (ahem: Windows). On some OSs/desktop environments, it seems like there's a 1-2 pixel area where the cursor changes and you can resize a window. In contrast, this works pretty good in Tahoe.
Cool. I’ll have to keep an eye out for that. Thanks for the heads up!
ETA: just looked it up, and yeah it’s Twenty Twenty-Six, about the World Cup planning. Looks like they’re bring Hugh Skinner back as Will, too. I liked him in W1A. Wasn’t exactly funny, but the complete lack of any kind of competence was almost intriguing to watch. I can’t explain it. Kind of, “How does this guy get to work every day without causing serious harm to himself and/or others?”
