Ooh look at that shiny metal track. I wonder if it is ever used. Fable has it that great carriages arrive, and distant rattling and horns can sometimes be heard, but no one knows for sure…

No surprise, no surprise whatsoever. We are all evolved to desire community & connection. I realise Lemmy has a large share of those that reject conventional community (myself included), so no criticism. But it’s natural to desire these things (to varying extents), plus many people are just plain sycophantic if course!

Go back another 20 years and you’ll find Manic Miner & Horace goes skiing…wait that’s a little early… Donkey Kong Jr & Chopper Command were released in 1982. 80s to 90s probably had the biggest step up, no doubt due to the introduction of consoles.

I’ve never considered it noir, largely as I was too young to know what that was when I first saw it, but it fits! Must watch again soon, it’s a great film & I do enjoy noir films!

In so far that it’s such a terrible map, that it’s not a nap at all, yes! Totally accurate.

Having 50mil+ households install and run a/c (they won’t save it for just the heatwaves, not to mention production, delivery, installation factors), will kick out a fuck tonne more carbon & result in those hotter weeks being hotter and longer even sooner…soooo…are we meant to doom ourselves?! Then there’s the issue of increased crop failures, droughts & wildfires etc. all adding to the cost of living.
How should we plan for all that? And the rest - more & heavier flooding etc.

I can tell you that 30cm of woodchip will do sod all to stop it. My mint grows under 50cm of concrete. It takes a couple of years to get there, but it does!

I’ve not heard of anyone else making such a thing, but not surprised it does exist. However, I can 1-up that with my childhood creation - the triple fold sandwich. One slice of buttered bread, one slice of buttered toast & one slice of butter fried bread. Fold each one in half, overlapping half of the adjacent piece. You get a mix of three different bready textures & flavours in each bite. I haven’t made it in a few decades so I may not enjoy it so much now, but it was good at the time!

Probably a quicker option is to soak off all the soil, pick those with nice equal length roots then arrange against a cleanly cut block of earth. There’s no more radishes either side so you’d have to plant a fair few lines so you’d end up with one with such a neat row I reckon.

With you on this, only ever known shoes off bar the odd occasion where I’m there for work and will only be a few minutes. I ask of course before traipsing around!

Yeah, on a wildlife friendly instance this seems like a bad choice of pic! Why not use an image of the animal swimming in the sea, alive & well?

I took it as turning the discussion around - I.e. what to do if your neighbour behaves as above? If so, it sounds like a good way to get people to think about respectful behaviour.

I guess the man’s hair makes her fingers look more pointy. If you’re eternal and out to drink blood, you’ve got pointy fingers y’know.
- Comment on Mmmm... Yeah. It checks out. 9 months ago:
I’d argue that parents are different to a ‘leader’ as we perceive them, or as I read was suggested in the comment. Children will stick with their parents, up to the point at which they’re ready to start their own family, like you say, but is that leadership in the same sense?
But yes, I agree, pack = family is accurate.
- Comment on Mmmm... Yeah. It checks out. 9 months ago:
Dogs don’t need a leader - the whole alpha male wolf thing has long been disproven, by the original author none the less. Dogs are highly social and live in groups, yes, but there’s no boss dog. Very few animals have a concept of a leader. In fact I’d argue that none do and it’s a totally human idea.
I like your cat/dog thinking idea though. Cats very much think ‘me me me’!

Maybe if there was a public transport system still running that was not just a cash cow and stifled for the benefit of big oil then it wouldn’t matter who used it when.
Some people wake very early and may only be well enough during rush hour to travel… and yet they’re not supported in doing so, even though it’d cost relative pennies.
Oh and re your last Q, disabled people aren’t allowed to go out on the lash or to the theatre etc, they’re disabled so should be tucked up in bed staring at the samecwall they’ve been staring at all daytime. It saves the government tens of pounds a year that!
PS I’m not being narky at you, rather the system.
