This thread could well have been written by an infinite amount of monkeys, too.

Thankfully the BBC aired the MASH episodes that were without the laughter track when I was watching it years (decades) ago. However, I've seen it more recently on one of the minor UK Freeview channels, and that came with laughter added... which eventually grates.

The whole of The Ramones catalogue. Basically just one song split into parts.

You can have mouse support with nano. Alt-m toggles it on or off.

Mandrake 8.2

I have fond memories of it, as it weaned me off Windows.

Edit: Actually, Knoppix was my first foray into Linux, but Mandrake was the first Linux distro that I actually installed.

Wish that was around when I moved from lemmy.world to lemm.ee some time ago. It would have saved me a bit of time. Nice that it's there for the future, though.

Seinfeld has this covered:

Not that you should have to, but wouldn't running Windows on a virtual machine thwart Peacock's restrictions? Again, not that I think that that should justify Peacock's restrictive stance.

Thought I was going to be the only one.

So does Beta, and it also has full extension support like Nightly.

What I also find interesting is that the nearest extant animals to birds are crocodilians. Both belong to the archosaur clade, even if there's around a 240 million years gap between them.

As you say, birds can be classified as belonging to reptiles under the cladistic route, but they're quite radically different to the reptiles that live today, so are seen as not really reptilian. It's not surprising, seeing that the link between crocodiles, true reptiles in all senses, and birds were the dinosaurs, who disappeared 65 million years ago. A whole lot of evolutionary change in that time.
