To let out a fart
Researchers from Tarleton State University found that natural polysaccharides extracted from okra and fenugreek can effectively remove microplastics from polluted water.


That is simply a delicious looking pork sword.


A knitted tapeworm. This is the scientifically accepted way to lay out and photograph a tapeworm 😕


That’s really surprising. I’m a regular reader of omgubuntu, and they frequently post about popular gnome extensions. Would I have heard of it outside of this source 🤔 I think probably not. So perhaps I shouldn’t be so surprised.


Strongly agree. Dash to dock is always the first step after a new install.


Thanks for the tip-off. Not heard of it, it will check it out.


The experience of 24.04 feels incomplete and lacking when compared to the well established desktop of 22.04 with their fantastic UX modifications. I don’t recall thinking, I wish 22.04 could do this or that. The 24.04 experience had me wishing for customisation features that don’t exist (last tried two weeks ago).
As an example, I love the 22.04 theming, wouldn’t change a thing. In 24.04, I appreciate that I can set rounded, semi-round or square corners, but I don’t want that applied everywhere. I want my toggle switches rounded and window corners semi-round, like 22.04. I think it just comes down to theming customisations really. I couldn’t increase mouse pointer size either. They all feel like things that can and will probably be fixed/added in future, or by a Cosmic Tweaks type app. I’m not ready to accept it in the current form. Turning my back on the best experience in 22.04 to an unsatisfactory experience is what will keep me on 22.04 for the foreseeable future.
It feels like I’ve enjoyed Coke for years and now somebody is trying to convince me Coke Zero is better. Less sugar is obviously better, but it doesn’t taste the same, it’s not Coke.


I’m not surprised by this at all. I tried 24.04 and found it lacked what attracted me to 22.04. It had some great new features, but overall the 22.04 experience is better. I’ll keep trying it though, still early days.
If my memory serves, Write supported full text justification, but Wordpad only supported left, center and right justification. So any easy win for Write imo.
Used Microsoft Works in the early 2000’s. Only discontinued in 2009 apparently.



I been reading it as “shooflee”, Wikipedia suggests it’s pronounced “shoo-fly” 🤦🏻


I’m a newly minted Irish internet refugee. Top of the morning to you 🍀


Oh no, so what do you propose we do about it?



We don’t know who struck first, us or them. But we do know it was us that scorched the sky. At the time, they were dependent on solar power. It was believed they would be unable to survive without an energy source as abundant as the sun.

See if the domain is listed on a domain auction site like https://porkbun.com/auctions
IONOS list a few others at https://www.ionos.com/digitalguide/domains/domain-tips/domain-auctions/
I’m unsure at what point after expiry it might land at auction, so may not be a useful route at this early stage.


The glass microwave plate melted in the office. Speculation is that somebody removed their food before time was up and left the door open. Later, the door was closed and the microwave resumed and cooked the plate. It wasn’t found until the next morning by which time the glass plate had a hole in it and was cold to touch and no longer an immediate danger.


Dandelion and Burdock, originating in the British Isles. Traditionally made from fermented dandelion, and burdock roots.
I think it tastes sort of similar to root beer.
