Not at the moment, but in the past couple of days, I’ve also experienced loading issues. I’m in the US - could the lag be caused by the hop across the pond?

Or… it’s a realistic depiction of what McDonalds would offer as “caviar”.
- Comment on Older voters power Trump to Michigan lead in head-to-head race, poll reveals 4 weeks ago:
I would like to see the day when the US limits the campaign duration so that we have less polling. I’m really tired of the endless results that are useless in the end.

- Comment on Would it be weird if I took something my neighbor put out for trash? 1 month ago:
In my neighborhood taking stuff left at the curb is the norm. Sometimes we‘ll leave a sign to clarify something is free. There have been times when I’ve taken something, used it for a while, then put it back out in the curb for someone else to enjoy.

What? Yeah, I know. A dog sitting at a bar having a beer would be a different joke. Read my joke again.
- Comment on Pavlov 2 months ago:
So Pavlov was sitting in a bar, having a nice cold beer. As the next person came in, the door caused a bell to ring. Pavlov panics: “Oh no! I forgot to feed the dog!”
- Comment on Could an animal be taught how to throw accurately? 3 months ago:
Our dog taught himself how to roll a ball with pretty good accuracy. Coming home from our morning walks we’d play a game where he’d push the ball so it would roll down our driveway. I’d return it. With much concentration and practice he got good at getting it to roll all the way down - even sometimes doing bank shots.

- Comment on Back in the 1970s when we switched to unleaded gas, what did the vehicles that ran on leaded gas do? 5 months ago:
In the US the only source of leaded gasoline that I’m aware of is aviation gas. Lots of (all?) older piston-driven airplanes use it.
- Comment on Flip to Channel 62: UHF gets 4K release for 35th anniversary 6 months ago:
Yes, after many years of VHF (Very High Frequency) use for television broadcasting, technology and regulatory changes allowed new channels in this different part of the spectrum. Wikipedia has a good overview…
“Early receivers were generally less efficient at UHF band reception, and the signals are also subject to more environmental interference.[1] Additionally, the signals are less susceptible to diffraction effects, which can improve reception at long range.[2] UHF generally had less clear signals, and for some markets, became the home of smaller broadcasters who were not willing to bid on the more coveted VHF allocations.”
Older folks here on Lemmy might remember that not all TV sets in use could receive UHF channels. The sets that could were finicky - you’d have to turn the little dial just to the right spot, and have the antenna pointing in just the right direction, for the channel to come in. But after a few minutes you could still be looking at “snow”.
Yet it was worth it because the smaller-scaled channels had some interesting programming!

Is the term UHF unfamiliar to young people?
- Comment on New Scam: Asking to download Signal/Telegram? 7 months ago:
Just guessing that this is to get the conversation off of Indeed, for whatever that is worth.
BTW: I use Signal to stay in touch with my far-away family. It’s pretty nice. Rumor has it that it was originally built by the CIA (the US spy organization).
- Comment on land shrimp 7 months ago:
“Halved, the nymphs reveal a surprisingly meaty, white interior. After eating one that was simply blanched, I thought it resembled what a tofu-filled M&M might taste like, with its crisp shell giving way to a spongy, earthy interior.”

OK, I gotta ask: was it alive?

Sometimes recipe sites will have a “Print Recipe” button that gets rid of all that junk.
