  I guess I was more wondering why do the name change at all

  But I’ve gone and looked it up now and apparently Wally is a less common name over there, so they changed it up to something more familiar.

  Which now begs the question: is Waldo a common name over there?

  Of course the, now owned by the daily mail group, i uses a sensationalist headline to imply that the ID will be required for this

  Rather than another option for people who have to carry a physical ID for age check purposes already

  Currently planning what seems like a fairly mid sized wedding in the UK

  It’s already looking like it’s going to be over double the cost of a roughly equivalent wedding one of my friends had only 3 years ago

  Based on some of the price lists of suppliers for the following year we’ve seen, they’ll be getting even more expensive. The industry is getting quite out of hand

  Yeah I don’t think there’s a 5V pin for VGA.

  I think if we had the scenario where we had a higher voltage than needed, we could have a toasty voltage regulator making something happen, but going the other way would need boost circuit unlikely to exist in these parts, in my understanding

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are fruits and berries healthy, even though they are mostly just sugar?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Whole fruits are pretty healthy in reasonable moderation

  if you gorge on 3 boxes of grapes you’re still gonna have smashed through over a thousand calories

  The big caveat is fruit juices which remove all the fiber that makes you feel full, particularly anything concentrated.

  At that point you’re getting closer to a soft drink than fruit (though you’ll still at least get the vitamins)

  I have 3 as my phone carrier with a high end modern phone (pixel 9 pro), so my experience shouldn’t be limited by hardware.

  I’d say in a city (Manchester, Liverpool & London mostly) I get 5g about 30% of the time, that’ll get speeds around 50-80mbps. The rest of the time I get their oversubscribed 4g which struggles to do 1mbps

  The more rural you get the chances of 5G shrink to like 5% of the time, though the 4g speeds improve a bit closer to the 10mbps mark.

  Of course YMMV, but it might be worth getting a 3 PAYG ESIM or something on your phone just to see what the signal is like by you

  I bet you if it exists, the Scottish soft drink company Barr probably makes it

  It’s been absolutely years since I had either, but I reckon Tizer is probably not too far off that red bull taste. I might be completely misremembering though

  Something like 95% of all meaningful pharmaceutical breakthroughs come from public academia

  More than anyone else, I really struggle to see any humanity in spin-doctors from the pharmaceutical industry. I’d say it’s pretty clearly inhumane to gouge the sick for profit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨dream chat⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh for sure, I’m not saying someone with a choice between the two should go for the nuggets.

  Hell, I certainly wish I had the disposable income to be happily having someone cook me a kilo of fillet mignon every day. Though, my insides probably wouldn’t be too pleased after a few days…

  But yes, if someone wants 50g of protein, is out somewhere away from home and only wants to spend a fiver, there’s not a load of options, and this was always a good one when I was more strapped for cash.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨dream chat⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well only a quarter of that fillet minion would be actual protein for one.

  The box of 20 nuggets is apparently 320g, so let’s round up to 333g for easy maths. $15 for a kilo of nuggets. And conveniently ~15% protein.

  So a steak has 2/3 more protein, we can buy less for the same overall protein

  At least where I’m from, I don’t think I’m getting 2/3 of a kilo of cooked fillet minion for anything close to $15 (cheapest I can find with a quick Google is a raw one from Aldi at £7 for 170g = $9.50, so $38 for roughly 2/3 of a kg)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨dream chat⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  50g of protein for a fiver was always great value (though I’m sure they’ve put the price up on it now)
