I just learned that he was the “W.H.O. Doctor” before becoming “Doctor WHO”, while listening to the No Such Thing As A Fish podcast within the last few days!

Spoilers!

(Which is what they say on the show when someone reveals the future, I’m not accusing you of anything.)

StarManta , to lemmyshitpost in Who Doctor?

If I remember correctly I think this was made after he’d been cast as the Doctor but before his episodes started airing, which means it pretty much had to be an intentional joke to cast him this way.

Is there any butter/marg on this at all?
That's where your problem is.
Nice layer of whatever fatty goodness (if you don't have the "spreadable" kind, leave it out so it is), then the marmite goes on to that, spreads no problem and tastes nicer!

Now you've made me want a marmite sandwich and I have no bread in the house. 😥😂

funkless_eck ,

you can see in the photo op has clumps of butter stuck into the bread. They are spreading the butter straight from the fridge

rubikcuber OP ,
@rubikcuber@feddit.uk avatar

I’ll have you know it’s only the best Aldi spreadable butter. The clumps are a requirement because the 7 year old will inspect the interior and needs to be able to see the butter.

telllos ,

Yes, you need butter. This is how I spread cenovis. I see marmite behave the same. If you spread butter first it’s much easier to spread it after.

rubikcuber OP ,
@rubikcuber@feddit.uk avatar

There is spreadable butter on here, some has already melted at room temp so it’s not that visible. But it’s a tricky balancing act with the wee man. Too much butter is a negative, but he needs to be able to see it also. I’m hoping he mellows as he grows older, but I suspect that’s a vain hope! I shall try and perfect my technique. I’ve almost always been a toast and martite person, so I think this is a just a life skill I have never learned properly.

DessertStorms ,
@DessertStorms@kbin.social avatar

Best advice I can give in that case is make sure all the ingredients are at room temp, otherwise there's no escaping the torn bread situation.
The other option is make them as toast the night before and serve them cold and a little soggy the next morning? Sounds a little bad spelled out like that, but I'd eat that no issue. 🤷‍♀️

Carter , to ukcasual in Bloody Marmite Sandwiches

The technique it to buy own brand yeast extract. Tastes identical but a lot more spreadable.

rubikcuber OP ,
@rubikcuber@feddit.uk avatar

For now I shall ignore the blasphemy, but I will say I must have been unlucky the only time I’ve tried this. Because the own brand yeast extract I tried was much thicker, and much less salty. Disappointing all round.

Carter ,

I’ve tried both Morrison’s and Asda and they’re both great.

rubikcuber OP ,
@rubikcuber@feddit.uk avatar

Good to know. We live a couple of minutes walk from a 24 hour Asda, so next time I loose my rag with his marmite sandwiches I know what to do!

TenderfootGungi , to ukcasual in Bloody Marmite Sandwiches

As an American, I just cannot eat Marmite. But we have suspected we simply do not know how to use it? For example, it would likely flavor a stew nicely? But there is no way I am eating that straight on bread. Nope!

Not even going to try black pudding or that jelly made from eels…

Mane25 ,

It’ll go nicely in a stew, any thing you want to add some umami flavour to really. Just don’t overdo it until you’re confident.

j4yt33 , to ukcasual in Bloody Marmite Sandwiches

Toast the bread first

rubikcuber OP ,
@rubikcuber@feddit.uk avatar

Either you don’t have kids OR you don’t have a child like ours. A bread sandwich was requested, and only the foolhardy would serve a toasted sandwich!

Hella British thread

echo , to ukcasual in Bloody Marmite Sandwiches

this is probably really not the way but I heat up the marmite just enough to get it runny

rubikcuber OP ,
@rubikcuber@feddit.uk avatar

Like microwave the jar or heat up a small portion?

luffyuk ,

Don’t microwave the whole jar!

Heat it up in a spoon like a crack addict. Also, just pouring boiling water on your butter knife can work wonders.

echo ,

if I have the time and effort I’ll heat the knife on one of my burners for a minute, but usually do I just microwave the whole jar for 15 seconds on low

rubikcuber OP ,
@rubikcuber@feddit.uk avatar

Gotcha. Microwave jar. I have ADHD so nothing… absolutely nothing can go wrong with this approach.

What's with the banner being porn

echo OP ,

Wtf it’s not for me (I haven’t actually even set a banner).

Mind sharing a screenshot?

echo OP , (edited )

Ok strange, looks to be a kbin problem. I don’t see it on any Lemmy instance but on your instance I see that and on kbin.social I get another weird banner (not nsfw at least)

Speiser0 , to programmer_humor in OK, now what?

Steps to fix:

  • Shut down your pc.
  • Install a proper OS, i.e. a linux distribution.
  • Be happy.
MJBrune ,

Yeah, then you’ll have 1000 other problems but not one with task manager. The best task manager in Linux is still htop because Linux doesn’t like making GUIs that are reliable and functional. Last time I was using fedora, the mouse settings GUI wouldn’t work and I had to set mouse speed in my bashrc.

Crozekiel ,

Real talk though, how long ago was that? Linux has been making improvements at a blistering pace. If it’s been a while, I’d recommend giving it another try soon.

MJBrune ,

in 2021. In 2022 I tried again with Fedora and KDE but I have an Nvidia GPU and this was around the time they just switched the default to Wayland which resulted in the liveCD hanging forever. Didn’t even get to install it again. I used to use Linux as a desktop from 2008 to 2014 but stopped because things just kept breaking on me and it was wasting my time. Eventually, my work switched to Windows, I switched to working at home and it didn’t make sense to maintain a Linux desktop that every time I booted it up, something new was broken. I’ve been checking every year into Linux since.

Nvidia not publishing proper open source drivers -> Linux bad

Logic

MJBrune ,

Sorry but in my field 70% of the people use Nvidia. So, yeah, Linux doesn’t support my workflow, Linux is bad. The end result is the OS doesn’t work properly. I don’t care how it needs to work. I need to know that it will work. If someone is causing it not to work, that’s on Linux still because the end result is still that Linux doesn’t work. On top of that, X11, Nvidia, and KDE worked just fine but Fedora rolled on ahead with releasing Wayland as the default when clearly it wasn’t ready.

Even outside of the Nvidia drivers through, since they now have published open-source drivers, there are still tons of issues with Linux as a whole. Multiple times I’ve seen basic GUIs either not work or not exist. A great example of this is: How do you figure out what driver the system is using without using the command line? Not just video card drivers which some distros have finally made GUIs for. No, like my mouse drivers, or the random Watcom tablet or webcam? Where do I see the “device manager”? Another great example is themes. GTK and QT themes do not play nicely together. Linux has a division within its own ecosystem. In fact, everything is divided and thus has issues inter-communicating.

This is not to mention the bugs I’ve encountered in multiple distros. In Fedora, the last time I tried, I couldn’t change my mouse settings in their GUI. I had to use bashrc and issue an x11 mouse setting command to get the mouse movement I wanted.

At the end of the day, I want to use my computer to do the thing I want to do. Not make simply using my computer a hobby in itself. This is the case for the majority of computer users.

Lastly, Linux as a community has a hard time taking absolutely valid feedback and brushing it off. I’m trying to help Linux by saying it’s terrible. I want it to be good. It can be good. Getting pushback for valid feedback isn’t going to encourage anyone to give their feedback which Linux absolutely needs more valuable feedback if it’s going to become a mainstream desktop OS.

Speiser0 ,

Does linux have guis at all? I mean it’s just a kernel.

MJBrune ,

Linux is also a collection of distros. We don’t call them GNU/Linux distros (because they don’t have to be using GNU. Linux is just the broader term for the community and the distros the community uses. My point, clearly, is that the GUIs that are provided on the distros or in the repos, or by the community all are terrible. If you want to be pedantic further feel free but I’m not going to engage in a semantic war.

muddybulldog , to programmer_humor in OK, now what?

Somebody needs to find whoever was responsible for the original NT task manager and learn a thing or two. That thing was bulletproof. I had servers over the years that were so broken nothing else would run but you hit CTRL-ALT-DEL and tada!

giloronfoo ,

ytrav ,

for the love of god, for the past 27 years it’s been ctrl-shift-esc (since like NT 4.0), while ctrl-alt-del opens up the security menu thing. I can’t believe I’m saying this…

i thought programmers liked doing things faster

muddybulldog ,

CTRL+SHIFT+ESC is simply a keyboard shortcut and is useless on a locked up system, it dies with the shell. CTRL+ALT+DEL throws a hardware interrupt, which contributed to the aforementioned bulletproof nature.

nothacking , to programmerhumor in open source in progress...

Fortunately, the charging one has been solved now that we’ve all standardized on mini-USB. Or is it micro-USB? Shit.

Koen967 ,

Wasn’t the standard USB-C? Maybe we should just create the Universal USB, the U-USB.

residentmarchant ,

With their naming standards, it would probably be called “U^2SB, Universal Super Fast Serial Bus”
