My ex-partner and I used to have "drink it and fix it" on Sunday evenings where she would bring stuff out for me to fix and we'd slowly get pissed! Some things remained fixed, some things, erm, needed re-fixing!

I'm with you an that one. RIP em-dash.

Is any class action lawsuit "easy"?

Life expectancy and quality of life are very different things.

My ex-partner has tinnitus and saw a psychologist who specialised in tinnitus. The psychologist suggested she buy a machine that generates a sound slightly quieter than her tinnitus which retrains the brain not to hear the tinnitus. So she bought a machine that generated about 15 different sounds and settled on a pink-ish sound and played while she slept. It took a couple of years but it effectively "cured" her tinnitus. It drove me mad for a while but after a while I didn't notice it.

The machine had different sounds because the sound of tinnitus is different for different people: hers sounded like cicadas, a sound I quite like but she hates!

I have misophonia and used to live in a house where a coffee van would start a generator at 0530 so I used a fan to help drown out the sound. I could still hear the generator but I could sleep through. It fundamentally changed the quality of my life.

Likewise and if people say, "why don't you google that?" I usually reply (obviously to everyone's annoyance:-) "I don't use Google". The general response is a blank, uncomprehending look.

Looking up the binary in the package management system would also provide another source of useful information. Of course this would dramatically increase the complexity but would, I think, be useful.

If you could look it up using APT/dpkg first, that would be lovely :-)

Contempt is very different to hate.

Thank you. This is what I was looking for.

> I am (alas) an entirely carbon-based user of the em dash.

What a lovely sentence.

Agreed,Bandcamp is good, very good.

The wound was about 6mm deep on my heel and took months to heal properly. And yes I did check those homophones :-)

And thanks for the other homophone correction!

Millions of years!
