Donald Trump: guilty on 34 felony counts.
It couldn't happen to a nicer bloke.

Saw my first swallow to-day.

Confession time: My manjaro sojourn has been brought to a premature close. This isn't because of any major issue, but I need my laptop for the next few weeks, & shouldn't tempt fate with a new to me option.
I installed Leap 15.6 beta, as I thought it would have Plasma 6, which I've rather got used to. But it's still plasma 5, so I put Slowroll back. Wayland works so well I've been able to remove xorg. Finished the install 30 mins before a VC session!
I'll come back to this in late July though.

Same. I just stick with Xfce on Devuan. Even between releases it is pretty much always the same. Which is a good thing. 😃 Just works.

The end of this tea was better than the beginning. The more compressed center had more camphor and floral notes, less licking a wet stone (though that is still present). It's not a great tea, but I absolutely enjoyed it

@tfb
"...licking a wet stone", is that an official taste sensation? 😃

@tfb
How do you source your teas? Do you have a friendly retailer?

@tfb
Doesn't the postage make them expensive, or do you buy in bulk?

Stopping support for the genocide in Palestine must become a mainstay of the forthcoming UK General Election.

No candidate will get my support in the election unless they unequivocably and unambiguously condemn Israel's genocide in Palestine.

The UK should immediately halt military support and arms sales to Israel. The UK government must also plainly condemn Israel's genocide on the international stage.

The Palestinian flag flying outside the Irish Parliament building. A powerful symbol indicating the formal recognition of the Palestinian state, which will happen later to-day.

Spain and Norway will also be recognising the Palestinian state to-day.

The ultimate compliment from one Scottish male to another is to call them Big Man.

Happened to me last night when a male acquaintance said to me "See you later, Big Man".

Chuffed!

Well, it isn't meant to be. Actually, I'm not sure what the equivalent female to female sobriquet would be in Scotland.

Surely, 2024 must be the Year of Linux on the Desktop, when the supermarket starts selling collectable Tux stickers. 😃

That sense of anticipatory excitement when one receives a text message in the morning. What will it say?

Only to discover it is a reminder from the energy company to submit a meter reading. :blobsad:

I find their estimates are fairly accurate. Probably because my usage is fairly consistent, when the same months in different years are compared. On balance, I prefer Octopus to Bulb.

UK General Election on July 4th.
I wish it was Independence Day.

Probably, May 2026. Unless the government collapses before then.

Just seen the LibDems out already, erecting election posters. They didn't waste time. Probably because they aren't otherwise gainfully employed.

I've never been wild about the exterior of the building, although many do like it.

That's probably the National Monument on Calton Hill you are seeing. It is a memorial to the Scottish seaman and soldiers who died fighting in the Napoleonic Wars.

Unfinished monuments are quite common here. Some are even called Follies.

Ready to revisit TÜVLITA.

Got a new fire extinguisher too, because the old one was 10 years old.

Need to figure out who services extinguishers around here for next time.

By all means, let's protect our natural environment, but, we DON'T need another bureaucracy.

No more national parks.

I'm not alone, I've seen a few such banners in the locality.

@peterbrown
None of these things require a national park. Legislation could be amended to allow or mandate councils to do them. This also has the advantage that all suitable areas could be covered, and not just three specific ones.

@peterbrown
Exactly. No need to ghettoise.
