Any Crouton users here? My Chromebook Pixel 2 Version 62.0.3198.0 (Official Build) dev (64-bit) failed to boot via crouton into XFCE this morning. Some quick searching led me to the link provided. It appears that something changed in ChromeOS which has b0rked Crouton. There's a workaround in that thread (bit tricky) and see my post asking for guidance. Anyone else experienced this? Any wisdom to share? https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton/issues/3375

Our Prime Minister #May happy to be aligned with & manipulated by #Trump the Racist, Fascist Monster. #HoldingHands. Our tory govt failed to back, & some tory MPs criticised, the Speaker when he spoke out back in Feb: >> His comments, including accusing the US president of "racism and sexism", had been made "honestly and honourably" and were within his remit, he told MPs. Several Conservatives have criticised the Speaker, one saying his career could be in "jeopardy" and another that he had damaged the national interest. Downing Street called his comments "a matter for Parliament". http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-38889941 See also: Theresa May's spokesman: Donald Trump's comments on Charlottesville are 'a matter for him' http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/theresa-may-spokesman-comment-condemns-hate-violence-donald-trump-charlottesville-a7893381.html #Unacceptable

I keep coming back to this Kevin Yost stuff. Very easy to listen to, if a bit 'generic housey' kinda thing. Just enough going on to be interesting but not enough to bother the brain when reading/working. Those who know this world, is this any good? https://youtu.be/MkUmbMyHMwk

Out exploring Yorkshire Moors with Grumps. Were @ the Lion Inn on Blakey Ridge where this famous Jazz album was recorded. Great views & roads up here. We went through Scarborough & Whitby earlier which were both very busy. http://www.lionblakey.co.uk https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Back_Door_(album)

Sigh. I'm pretty sure there's going to be a new panel with Barry from 2020 added to this.
