Get Back comment #3. Hey, it was 8 hrs of doco.

Throw away preconceptions and what other people have written, look at it with your own eyes.

Four men. One bloke so happy and cheerful and feeling like he can do anything because he is in a new happy relationship. He wants his mates to share that feeling and the only way he knows how is to get them all back together and reexperience those same kind feelings from when they first had success.

Another guy who just a bad brush with the law and whose wife just lost a baby. She's has post natal depression hormones. She's an immigrant from a vastly different culture and in my opinion needs her family. They are both clinically depressed but both trying hard because they really do love their happy mate.

The other two, so very talented and hardworking. Burnt out from hard work, huge changes and stressors that would break anybody ( like not being able to walk down a street without being mobbed ) . They are annoyed at happy bloke for being condescended to.

The happy bloke just didn't have the perception or people skills to get his band back together.

All the people around them, the staff, they weren't friends and weren't going to say anything.

This is a brilliant doco about people.

ps, they showed yoko doing some calligraphy, she's very good. n/k

My kid sized leggings arrived... and they are still a bit too long! Fun times!

For some reason my wipes have failed… twice. 100% bytes erased, but blanking failed. Some of the errors suggest the disks are on their way out. NBD since they’re going to trash. Yet, while I have a million and one other things to do, I haven’t looked at a Linux distro for aeons… So, of course I’m going to look at Endeavour. This is a rabbit hole I need not be heading down today. LOL.

Damnit, I knew I should have grabbed that pack of Zoopers the other day…

Try something called killdisk. Takes a while, but always works for me.

There's always Mint, Ubuntu, and Debian if you want something simpler. I've found the biggest difference is the desktop environment as some have GUI elements for things where for others you'll have to jump in the terminal. Since endeavour is based on Arch it may take some setting up

Tomorrow will be hot too apparently… tonight I’ll make some jelly and maybe some custard.

I have zooper doopers but don’t like the harsh cold especially on my teeth. There’s no way I’ll finish before they expire. I wish I hadn’t frozen the unopened pack… Could have donated that
