Get a Grip

Aerosmith releases what is to become their best-selling, world-wide album ~ April 20, 1993. Don Henley and Lenny Kravitz lend some vocal help on "Amazing" and "Line-up" respectively. Two songs from the album won Grammy Awards for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal, in 1993 and 1994.

FWIW I have the regular OpenSuSE-built version of siril installed as well. So I thought I'd use zypper source-install to bring in all that version's dependencies.

Not the most consistent experience I've ever seen either.

So I had to work my way through doing a zypper se as well as zypper in for *every* sodding siril dependency.

I don't think I've ever seen such a freaking *MESS* as OpenSuSE's package naming scheme.
Trying to build Siril from git source. Need lots of -devel versions of packages. But do they have the same name as the binaries / tools versions? Do they heck.
Two particularly illogical examples included.

Bloody shockingly awful.

Hard to argue that the #SNP can still claim to be a progressive Party now the full panoply of religious wing nuts and bigots have exposed themselves since Sturgeon resigned for no visible reason, dumping her Party and the country right in it.

Not sure populist ‘resentment politics’ is the correct prescription the SNP’s self inflicted ills, though…

Yousaf has been the flop everyone predicted. Is there time for the SNP to #GetAGrip?

“It also dramatizes the collapsing fortunes of the Scottish nationalists, for many years a hugely powerful force in Scottish politics, led by the charismatic Nicola Sturgeon.

Her sudden resignation in February plunged the party into division, and within months it was hit by a financial scandal that undermined voter confidence.”

There was a big campaign to stop plastic tat toys being given away with kids meals at McDonalds and with kids comics. When does the campaign to stop plastic tat for corporate promotions start? No one needs another shitey pen or keyring. No one wants a nylon neck warmer or hat. And forget the novelty stress relievers and cheap branded thermal mugs . #BanTheTatt #plastic #GetAGrip
