Constant BSODs in Windows XP (probably caused by NVidia drivers), and then by now that’s half a lifetime ago and Linux is just my default with Windows being “the alternative that can mostly do the same thing but in less intuitive ways”

CentOS Stream 8. Which I regret. Because they ended support without upgrade path.

dev-mapper swap…

Any resume argument in your boot commands? Try removing them and see what happens

Ah yes, the pretence of democracy continues

Not sure I’d trust a national distribution service (especially in the UK) more though

• ANC headphones, ANC earbuds, wax earplugs, foam earplugs, silicone earplugs, Loop earplugs <– yeah this autism thing really should’ve been clear a lot earlier in life
• Laptop, 2x 20Ah 100W power bank, 10Ah power bank, GoPro
• Travel adapter, spare watch charger, 2x 3m USB-C cable
• Half a pharmacy “just in case”

Well that aged poorly exceptionally quickly 😂

The fact that there’s entire communities full of people who will spend energy trying to convince you to give it a try, rather than a corporation with a marketing budget and lobbying power :)

dnf upgrade

Interesting. I think OLED is meant to be more comfortable to the eyes actually.

The “Thank you Mario, but the princess is in another castle” type of win

There’s levels to this stuff?

(Disclaimer: no official diagnosis yet, so I guess this could still have different reasons)

Severe hot flashes and naesea eventually followed by bursts of adrenaline in supermarkets or crowded places (on almost a daily basis).

The fact that I haven’t left the house in years without both earplugs and noise-cancelling headphones at hand.

Hey if people wanna play with their lives by talking to me while I’m driving… 😂 That’s when I look straight at another car coming onto the intersection and drive straight ahead because I saw it, but that didn’t mean it also registered.

ND as a child and during early years of adulthood.

NT during adulthood.

Once I got a sufficiently good grasp of the social rules myself it actually became more difficult to talk to NDs.

I disagree with this. There is such a thing as true confidence, and imo it mostly comes from the knowledge that whatever happens you’ll be able to handle the right way. “Fake it til you make it” confidence is called arrogance (and will never turn into actual confidence).

And if I don’t I’m just going to be thinking about it all night anyway

The piers and concourses of each hall are connected so that it is possible, on both sides of security or border inspection, to walk between piers and halls, although border control separates Schengen from non-Schengen areas.

Let me clarify. Not keeping departures and arrivals segregated is a Schengen thing. Gates/terminals handling non-Schengen routes need to keep arrivaling and departing passengers separated from each other. When a gate/terminal only handles Schengen (or other common travel area) flights, they are allowed (but not obligated) to not have this separation in place.

unlike the Netherlands the UK does not allow arriving and departing passengers to cross paths

That’s a Schengen thing. You’ll find the same in Ireland :)
