Small talk & Chit chat

What you're doing there is switching between desktop environments. You could have just installed Gnome on Mint or Ubuntu for essentially the same experience.


In fact, Zorin is Ubuntu based. Also, Ubuntu 19.04 will use Gnome as its DE.

I know it's just switching. Doesn't bother me Zorin has a better out of the box experience and seems to run better. That's all I care about.

Came across this which seems really interesting.

Just curious but does anyone know if there's a way in Windows 10 to see a list of when programs were used ? Not just when they were last used but a history i.e time stamps etc... ?

Did someone mention a Horizon 4 club here? Been playing that mostly recently and only just worked out how those parts of the game work, accidentally joined some random one I got invited to. Been playing ranked games more now they've nerfed griefing abit.

Nerfed how? Would this no longer happen? :rolleyes:

That is why I stopped playing. Its so rife its horrible. They need to categories in online.
1. anything goes where you get the racers vs cowboys
2. Strict rules where impacts such as this impose some 30mph crawl for xx seconds allowing the person you hammered to catch up or pass you. Or the entire grid to pass you for that matter.
 
During the Monacco F2 red flag I'll try and gloss over quickly but basically there's now auto-ghosting when a car is going alot faster than another (So no ramming or blocking after slow downs or using people as braking aids) and they've added speed penalties(Like your car is x10 heavier for a few second time period proportional to hit size) if you hit the wall too hard so you can't "slide" or "bounce" off the edges of the track. But contact is still enabled between roughly similar speed cars so there's still defence & overtakes in corners and side to side grinding. People can still absolutely whack you side-to-side though and with the new collision penalties they can destroy your race that way if you're not careful so it's not perfect yet.

Oh yeah just saw that video in this case he would turn to a ghost because of the over speed and just smash into the wall now rather than you and then he'd get a speed penalty. (I just ended up learning how to drive the heaviest vehicles I could use for each class to protect myself from griefing, kinda love the UNIMOG for cross country, but now you want as light as possible with the new rules)

Anyone see Mick Schumacher causing a red flag with a (Much slower and less deliberate) move like that 15 mins ago lol?

Figured I would post here so I don't clog any threads. Mum had a fall on Thursday, hence why I have not been around much (for Div 2 etc).

She told me she was fine but the last time she did that she had a split head and two black eyes, I was bloody horrified when I got here a few days later. This time I decided to jump on my BMX and ride over. Rushed off without a helmet.

Got off the train and decided to ride the grass verge. Good thing I did, the car I would have been tailing crashed right at the bottom of the hill where it's very hard to stop. I'd have ate it for sure.

Any way other than a sore shoulder she is actually okay this time.

Glad everything is ok, Hope your mum has a speedy recovery :)
 
So I filed a 2nd appeal to try and get my Twitter account back, It was called AMD Red Team Fan, I just used it to enter competitions mainly and also keep up to date with AMD, OC3D, Corsair etc... news, Never really interacted with anyone but sometimes it was very useful to reach out to various customer service types.

My account was suspended because apparently I was impersonating AMD, I filed an appeal last night for the 2nd time and was met with a lovely snarky message today -

"It has come to our attention that your account was used to impersonate another person and to spread false information and propaganda, Your account has been permanently suspended and any further communication from you will be ignored, Any new accounts you try to make will be immediately suspended and legal action will be taken against you if you persist"

I think it's safe to say Twitter have lost the plot.

Sounds quite nice indeed, though as an old TrackMania player I'm craving for a non-collision mode. :P

That would imply Twitter had a plot to begin with.
 
Most people my age have twitter but not Facebook anymore, it's the defacto social network but I think many myself included use it primarily as a curated news feed, most developers and companies nowadays will release info via Twitter first, there's usually well managed two way community interaction for devs & companies, and it's been the standard platform for political announcements & discussion for a while amongst both politicians and populace.

Not really sure what's confusing about it? It's basically just a massive news feed you choose yourself.

There was some roughness in my bike's coaster hub, couldn't stop myself from cleaning until this point.


Now it's back together with "the bigger the glob the better the job" philosophy at full swing. :D
 
I recall rebuilding a coaster many moons ago. It's not easy, and they're complicated. Inevitably I got rid, as I didn't like the "slip" they have.

Talking of bikes. I currently own 4 BMX bikes (down from 6) and a fixed 29". There really aren't any other bikes I wanted in my collection. All apart from one...

It doesn't look much as is, but that's actually a Terrible One Ruben. This particular model was made in 2007 by a company called MAAS who basically made the best BMX bikes ever made. It's made in USA too, like my Standard. It even included the original decal set.

It's who rode for T1 that makes their bikes very desirable. They're not mass produced poo either. So I started buying stuff for a nice summer project.

Which should culminate something like this, all being well.

It reminds me of my uncle's Ford Granada. So I figured I would roll with a 70s theme.
