  There is only 100m of my 8km commute that is shared with cars. A single T junction along it which is where I was going straight and she turned across into my path.

  European honey bees are a foreign invasive species

  But… I am European?

  Just this morning I had someone pull across the road in front of me as I was cycling to work and almost hit me. Fortunately the traffic was slow and I had time to brake or her car would have a much larger dent in the passenger door from me kicking it to avoid going into it head first.

  Need to play Space Haven, I got it along with a bunch of other games and I am still going through them. The Riftbreaker was discounted at the same time and so far is the one I have played most of my recent purchases, also got The Last Starship at the same time and have played a little of that. Riftbreaker also has DLC I haven’t touched yet though. Sandustry was another fun one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Agreed, same for pretty much and major game that gets a lot of media attention.

  I’ll stick with my indie games. Got dins champion recently, still think drox operative 2 is my favourite soldak game but after making a second char after a few hours and learning how to play a bit I am starting to get into this a bit more.

  Air fryers, and to a lesser extent fan ovens, use a fan to move the air rather than just using air convection currents.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨To be happy…⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I prefer to fry potatoes, but you can fry shit if you like. Just keep it in your air fryer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fuck the giant corporations⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Doubt it. Corn is so cheap the difference is probably not even a full coin.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Big Tech’s Lobbyists Are Targeting Self-Hosted Servers⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  You can buy cars too.

  Get stuff second hand and it isn’t even that expensive. Performance per £ is still better than it was a decade ago for the overall system.

  Ever stand on a thorn, stone, pointy stick?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This had to be a terrifying way to go⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  After running 5k all I can think of is fuck they did that without even having modern shoes. Like how?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Minimum wage isn't survivable anymore⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  If you are 1 bad month away from losing everything why are you making £400/month car payments. Over £200 a month on food delivery. £90 a month phone contract. £150 a month on TV and streaming services.

  These are real people I know. Like yeah the economy isn’t great but you are not helping yourself. Cut back a bit and you could easily build up enough savings to cover several months if something bad was to happen.

  Actually suggesting these things to people is really difficult though. They immediately become defensive and try to justify all these luxuries as needs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Minimum wage isn't survivable anymore⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Huh, I always thought a dime was $0.01

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Minimum wage isn't survivable anymore⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I have had plenty of full time minimum wage jobs. Also had a few zero hour contracts which absolutely suck in comparison.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Love⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Not all beaches are sandy

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Minimum wage isn't survivable anymore⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Meanwhile in a country with a reasonable minimum wage, approx £1800/month take home pay.

  £900 mortgage, £180 council tax, £80 electricity, £22 internet, £5 phone, £60 food.

  Water is paid twice a year, averages out to like £10 a month, its cheap enough I don’t pay much attention to it.

  So about £500-600 left.

  But I live with my partner, so half all of those costs by splitting it. Double phone/food.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm not sure they will⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Please turn it off… I am currently dealing with a bunch of fu well meaning but intellectually challenged individuals at an IT team who just reimaged a machine running the master database for one of their sites based on what a chatbot told them.

  Now what concerns me most is that this site operates critical life saving equipment. While our software isn’t too important, some minimum wage workers are about to have a very high stress weekend is about the worst that will happen and then early next week it should be back to normal. But the same IT team has access to the life saving equipment as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm not sure they will⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  But how should I feel about that

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm not sure they will⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Can you also turn off LLM generated websites for that week? If so, deal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rich ppl live longer⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Cheaper yachts really don’t cost that much though. Very wide range of prices and sizes. Pretty much any recreational boat with a cabin.

  There are some decaying around here. I would be kinda interested in salvaging one but maritime salvage laws are lame and I don’t want to take one that isn’t actually abandoned that looks like it might be. By the time its very obvious it is abandoned it is a bit too damaged and overgrown with seaweed.

  Also I don’t really know much about using something larger than a kayak.

  Fair, there were a lot of games coming out that acted like it was their main feature. You need solid gameplay first.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dwarf Fortress' creator says the industry's in shambles over AI and layoff-happy CEOs: 'Everyone I know, their bosses are slowly getting psychosis'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Ohh yeah search and summary can be useful.

  Age of empires 1 has procgen, its good but you can’t expect it to carry a game on its own either. If all it had was its procgen the game would suck.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dwarf Fortress' creator says the industry's in shambles over AI and layoff-happy CEOs: 'Everyone I know, their bosses are slowly getting psychosis'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Instead of paying us to work they will have to pay us not to throw molotovs at their datacentres.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dwarf Fortress' creator says the industry's in shambles over AI and layoff-happy CEOs: 'Everyone I know, their bosses are slowly getting psychosis'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Left my last job and they really pushed AI. Everything had to be AI and it has to be shoved in everywhere. It was mostly awful. Few places it helped was to complete bullshit HR tasks that we had been complaining about ever since they were introduced as a waste of time.

  Once dry it would have quite a long shelf life.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨negativity⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Being obese can have the same effect. Would be curious how much weight and alcohol compare for the same risk. Like a BMI of 35 = 5 pints a night or something like that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In-between⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  When counts as in season, especially if I was to make it a seasonal activity to do with friends.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In-between⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  When is it reasonable to start making Halloween decorations? Got some new tools to try out.

  That whole thank you for your service thing is also distinctly American. No where else does that.
