Disney has asked a Florida court to dismiss a wrongful death lawsuit filed by the husband of a Long Island doctor. The lawsuit claims that Dr. Kanokporn Tangsuan suffered a fatal allergic reaction after eating at a Disney Springs restaurant despite repeatedly informing the waiter of her severe allergy. Disney is calling for the lawsuit to be dismissed because her husband signed up for a one-month trial of the Disney+ streaming service years prior.

What the hell. I hope the judge tells Disney where to shove their arbitration clause.

Isn’t banggood legit? I know the name looks suspicious as heck (well, if I didn’t know better, I’d think it was an NSFW site), but I remember Atomic Shrimp using it for legit purchases. I’d never use it though. I think it’s in the same stable as Ali express and that sort of thing.

Yeah I’ve had a couple of customers outright wrap their hand around mine as I handed them their change. It’s creepy and invasive. If it happened enough times, I’d just start putting everyone’s change on the counter.

No worries. Good luck!

When I say laminate, I just mean the rolls of sticky back plastic. I don’t know if it’s called something else in your part of the world.

It’s the stuff we used to use to protect our exercise books at school. You can buy special laminating vinyl but this stuff is cheaper.

Acid free sticky tape (scotch tape in the US?) will also work for smaller stickers, just make sure the sort you use doesn’t yellow. In my experience, glossy photo paper scratches easily and has to have a layer over it to seal it, plastic is the easiest option (also remembering when I made over 200 trading cards on photo paper and had to design, cut and laminate them all by hand lol).

I did test the brand of vinyl paper I used with water and it did hold up. I’ve only had it on my bike for a few months, but so far it doesn’t seem to have yellowed or faded. I probably should have cut out the sticky back plastic to be bigger than the sticker though.

What type of printer/paper do you use? I find cheap photo paper works well for high res on my inkjet, although it can fade if you leave it in the sun. I’ve been using vinyl sticker sheets for customising my bike and it seems to be holding well, but I did laminate them with sticky back plastic first.

There’s also the sellotape trick, but that only works for laser printers and you obviously can’t print white.

Ah you beat me to it. I was taught this an my child seat training course at work, it’s true.

Boring fact for the day. The real reason for the baby on board sign isn’t for other drivers, it’s so if there’s an accident, the emergency services will prioritise the cars with the sign. So if you want priority in an accident, you know what to do.

The irony, right?

I bought Anti-Monopoly for my nephew, which is actually lot of fun. My nephew plays as the monopolist because of the higher rents you get, yet I always beat him as a Competitor (he wipes the floor with me in normal Monopoly though).

See my post to the reply above yours :)

Sorry, I forgot to put the last paragraph as a quote.

Dang, the creator put a paywall on it.

It’s the same with the letter f, from what I remember it was pronounced as an f or a v, depending on what letters are before and after it, similar to lenition in Irish, or s being pronounced as both s and z in Romance languages depending on what’s around it.

Here we go

Specifically þ and ð:

þ and ð are digraphs. This means they represent the same sound, much like the modern ‘th’ can be voiced (in words like ‘this’ and ‘that’) or unvoiced (in words like ‘thick’ or ‘through’). The general rule of thumb is that þ comes at the start of a word and ð comes in the middle or at the end. However, you will often see them used interchangeably, with the same word appearing on the same page spelled with both ð forms and þ forms. You can even see words like ‘oþþe’ spelled ‘oþðe’ or ‘oððe’ so don’t overthink it.

Wasn’t that a misconception and they both make either of those sounds?

In Old English, ⟨ð⟩ (called ðæt) was used interchangeably with ⟨þ⟩ to represent the Old English dental fricative phoneme /θ/ or its allophone /ð/, which exist in modern English phonology as the voiceless and voiced dental fricatives both now spelled ⟨th⟩.

That reminds me of the Action Lab video on a 4D ball.

I’m sorry to say I tried this and it worked.

I also got a person to leave by writing VY Canis Majoris. I’m not sure how they interpreted that.

Thanks. It was actually F12, I managed to catch it for the split second it showed; for some reason it doesn’t always show the commands when I switch it on.

This is what I got.

I selected Ubuntu and I got my choice back again. I hope i don’t have to do this every time I boot though.

Thank you for being so patient with me.

I found an old picture of what my boot screen used to look like. If I wanted to do it via bcedit, what would my command line be? Sorry for being so clueless, I’m just really scared I’ll brick my PC completely.

I have no idea how to do this, but I’ll keep looking for a tutorial. Luckily I only use my Linux for storing my music. I wish I could have got my art software to work on Linux, they just don’t seem to want to cooperate. My WiFi adaptor also only wants to work about half the time, too.

My Linux is on a separate hard drive.

Never mind that, Windows 10 did an update a couple of days ago, and now my dual boot screen has gone. I literally can’t start my Linux Mint anymore, it boots straight to Windows :(

There is a way to get it back with the command line, but my computer nerd days are over.

I’m assuming that command needs to be edited to whatever my setup is, I have no idea.
