  • he’s from Glasgow, however almost all Scottish people, if they depend on depend speaking to make a living, change their accent a bit and we tend to speak more slowly. to me, he sounds quite mild and proper. still Scottish, i can tell he’s from Glasgow ish but his accent isn’t strong. also, he’s speaking slowly. Our accents vary a lot here. I grew up 35 miles from Glasgow but people there couldn’t understand me a lot of the time when I spoke.

    I had this one. In the 2000s. Went a long long way down that road. I lived in a city, shared a small back garden. Planted potatoes, onions, carrots, and coriander (for some reason that I don’t remember). They all grey, a lot. It was fantastic. Then I got into keeping bees. Learned all about bees & how to work with them. My friend and I bought 20 colonies, built hives, convinced our local council to give us derelict land, and started an apiary where we would teach people about bees. We travelled around various festivals and took bees, and talked about bees. It was a very satisfying & focused few years.

    The US. I’m Scottish, 56 years old. I’ve been tot he US many times when I was younger, first time when I was 17 for just about 6 months.

    I took my kid to the original Coheed & Cambria Neverender in 2008 in Manhattan when he was 15.

    I made the decision to never go to the US again during Trump’s first term when they implemented the Muslim ban. My good friend is Scottish Muslim. He had a holiday booked in the US for him and his family and had to cancel it. I can’t stomach racism or any of the hate shit.

    Seeing what’s happening now simply reaffirms that I made the correct & right choice.


  • I installed Cachyos in June this year after years of Mint (Cinnamon).

    It was a zero problem install and everything works with my hardware. I chose KDE and it runs with Wayland perfectly. it’s the best distro I’ve used since i started with Linux in 1995. So my experience with Arch is excellence so far. pacman is already my favourite package manager.
