    It could become as normal as talking about dancing:

    "I went to dance class last night, only my second week so I still get nervous but it’s good fun and great exercise!

    They taught the newer students a new dance and we had to partner up with someone we hadn’t danced with before. I got a lovely older lady and OMG - she was so agile she almost broke MY hip! I’m soo sore but going back tomorrow!"

    Yes, yes it is. The tyre is at a higher pressure than the atmosphere so any hole will allow the air to equalize but the difference is how that air comes out:

    Stab the sidewall (big hole, rapidly) air rushes out with a big bang.

    Snip the stem, smaller hole, air rushes out slower but still very quick. Likely flat in under a minute. Different structure/strength that sidewall which is why it doesn’t pop/explode.

    If you get a puncture, the reason it doesn’t leak as fast as snipping the stem (nor pop) - usually the nail/screw is still in the tyre, keeping it plugged somewhat, the distortion of the tyre under weight means this hole can open and close as the car rolls letting out a little at a time.

    Source: have had punctures that take hrs to run flat, have watched tyre techs clip stems on an old tyres, seen videos of tyres being stabbed.





  • Began moving all my hardware to Linux this year since none of them will run win11 without fk-about-ing - and I just don’t want to. So my server, media box and laptop are all cut over, only my main desktop left on windows a bit longer but it’s goose is cooked too.

    I’ve tried dozens of distros over the years but I’ve settled on Fedora KDE.

    The why:

    • Skipping x11 and head straight into Wayland so I don’t have to worry about that in the future.
    • I wanted something more up to date than debian-based and less cutting edge then Arch-based.
    • Stability and support of being in the RHEL family
    • Flatpaks
    • Tried to get on with gnome to get away from the ‘start menu’ paradigm but ended up getting on with kde better.

    Yes! There is a website somewhere that has a tonne of fake os screens - updating/upgrading windows, bsod loop etc.

    Run a scary looking one of those, disconnect mouse/keyboard so it can’t be interrupted and let the boss discover it
