British Army Veteran Dies Unexpectedly during Thailand Holiday
BigStar replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
Bacterial meningitis from the filthy water, probably. Can cause death within hours. Same as what done in Jeff Beck. The Authorities wouldn't want it publicized, for obvious reason. -
But, you see, Tumbleweed is in fact quite stable and commonly used as a daily driver. Since, with OpenSUSE, you'd format / as btrfs, you can easily roll back using snapper; or, of course, Timeshift. Moreover, you can also start now using the new OpenSUSE Slowroll version, ahead of Leap and slightly behind the rolling release Tumbleweed for more assured stability. Finally, you can just switch to Fedora KDE. Version 40, out RIGHT NOW, includes a later version of the kernel, 6.8, than will Leap 15.6. Fedora's updated twice as often as Leap, so is even more cutting edge, needed to get the most out of your imagined supercomputer. VERY stable & useable. So you use dnf instead of zypper, no big deal, and dnf has a lot of appreciative fans. KDE is KDE. Plasma. No doubt, for the little you really need, you could use most any Linux distro. MX Linux, one of THE most stable out there, based on Debian LTS, has a KDE spin. Lot of nice extra tools, too. Theme it like OpenSUSE and you'd hardly know the difference, except apt substitutes for zypper. Oh, for now you can just share a pic of your boxes, trivial, no reason not to. Common practice on computer forums by posters anticipating their builds. Let's see those.

But you can simply use OpenSUSE Tumbleweed NOW and get an even newer kernel, 6.8.1, duh. Besides, you've dithered for months buying parts. Spent what--a month?--on the case. Never been in any rush. So think of another part to dither over. Better fan? Add-in card? Oh, but Walk the walk, man. Enough w/ the BS. Nothing. It's not in development now but in public beta testing. Public. Thereafter there'll be bug fixing. And you know that. You merely want an excuse for the usual blathering. So after using 15.5 you can install 15.6 from the .iso. No need to upgrade. Let's see REAL pics of your supposed new computer, not just product images. It's actually just a fantasy, no? I'll leave it that. Normally I have you blocked, but this was good for a laugh.

Yeah, been doing it for years, no problem. I sign prominently w/ a blue fountain pen. @Confusciousalways jumps into these threads to troll about his rogue IO and spread FUD. How much is true, or how much he'd pis*ed off the IO already, we'll never know. In any case, pay no attention to that outlier.

British Army Veteran Dies Unexpectedly during Thailand Holiday

Seems that after all the medical reports, autopsy, and other paperwork the relatives finally realized there was the matter of the funeral & disposition of the remains. The GoFundMe is NOW active, so publicity needed to rake in the cash. 'Course, cremation and scattering of ashes can be arranged quite inexpensively here in Thailand, a country he'd loved. I once knew an old Brit adamant that's what he wanted for himself; that's what he got, too. -
Maybe you did or maybe you didn't. Maybe he was fit enough to pull his luggage w/o problem. Maybe he finds the bus more comfortable for a trip to BKK. I do, and it's safer as well. I buy two seats and put the luggage in the seat beside me. I'll take a taxi for quicker trips if I need to. It's not your business. Some take buses, others don't. Worry about yourself.

True. The topic is just one of the OP's constant attempts, complete with fictional incidents, to feel superior and enjoy schadenfreude.

Trump criminal case: Full 12-person jury seated in Manhattan
BigStar replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Or if you believe E. Jean Carroll. But you ignored the point, of course. Where's her day in court? Disingenuous feigning ignorance. Stonewalling, and they don't have a sufficient majority. Couldn't even get Mayorkas. The DOJ itself can't, or rather won't, prosecute that "sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.” So I'll leave you with the last word, as you're really just trolling. -

Working great w/ regard to lawfare against Trump. And great for him, too, since he's protected by the leftists in power. No prosecution for him for willful retention and revelation of classified documents, hee hee. No prosecution for him and Hunter for suppressing the truth about the laptop before, and after, the election. Tara Reade's credible allegation of sexual assault ignored, swept under the carpet. Etc., etc. -
Clinton says Trump’s threats ‘should scare every American’
BigStar replied to Social Media's topic in World News
LOL. When's Schiff gonna present that definitive evidence he claimed to have? Won't answer questions about that now. Senate panel! 🤣 You poor guy. -
Plenty of those around. Do a search.

For most in need of larger capacity, media files probably take up the most space. Some of us, notably the non-hipsters among us, find little worth streaming. Movies or series we like may not be available in the future anywhere, let alone currently streamed. To watch them again in the future, they have to be stored. Really hi-res movies good for display on large 4K screens represent large files indeed.

Registering a .th domain without a company (or trademark)
BigStar replied to LivinLOS's topic in IT and Computers
Years ago I looked into getting a .th domain name but found them far more expensive than just a .com. Didn't need one anyway, so abandoned the idea. -
One of our most beloved fantasies, always repeated when a US ship visits. But for about 10 years now the sailors have been prohibited shore leave here; engagements with prostitutes strictly forbidden under serious penalty. This all came out again during Cobra Gold. After all the nonsense and refusals to accept the reality on the forum, not one sailor was spotted in Pattaya. NONE was to be seen on Soi 6, Walking St., etc. So then we had a deafening silence in the fantasy thread. 🙂 Some of you old farts badly need updating, sitting there at your keyboards imagining this or that.

Nope. Mueller and Durham already investigated exhaustively. Despite all the spin, quibbles, and gaslighting by leftists since then, if there were really anything more, Garland would have jumped on it like a dog on a bone. Sorry, big disappointment, but the political vendetta continues.🙂 -
I guess we're going to be subjected to a barrage of these fictional stories now.

Bitter is when you then concoct a Russian hoax and do everything you can to undermine a legit prez, at great cost to the taxpayers. Fail. -

There was a link, but now the post has been removed. Rather, satire be lost on you. Sorry, you can demonstrate your reading skills next time. 🙂 -

Has continued into a politically-motivated trial, yes. Happens when the victim can't be intimidated into silence or capitulation. Yup, that's some of what the Biden admin, cronies, and thugs are continuing to try to do, and more, with additional subtleties to add in. And no, I'm not going to get into one your bickering loops, as you'll end in silence only to try a different one. It's a religion. 🙂 -

But it's not from the National Enquirer. Since you didn't click on the link and read the article, you don't know who it's from. So just the usual mindless knee-jerk. 🤣
