We had chickens growing up, but we had a large farm so they just sort of roamed around. I can’t imagine trying to keep them in a back garden of a normal house.

Well they are competing with Minecraft.

I watched the gameplay trailer when it came out and I can’t say it was particularly invigorating. It was mostly endlessly slash at zombies then endlessly slash skeletons.
Doesn’t exactly scream deep combat mechanics.

It depends on the part of the goat being sucked I suppose. The goat may be fine with it, we need more information.

There’s also the black-headed gull, only the males have a black head and only during the mating season. The vast majority of the time the black-headed gull has a white head, just like the other 11 billion gull species

Yeah there’s a girl at work that had my email signature for about 6 months because you just copied it when she started, and I was always having to explain to clients that I don’t know who they are. They are in fact her clients.

Quite frankly it’s disgusting. That’s why I only eat food that has lots of healthy e numbers, MSG, and added sugar. As God intended.

I feel like the daily mail is worse. People know the star is full of shit, so don’t take it seriously. Whereas some people seem to have a perception of the daily mail that it’s somewhat reputable newspaper.

So maybe the world needs less cocaine, not more.
Woh there with your hot take

Yeah but it’s also the daily mail who are reporting this so default assumptions.

To be honest you don’t need to either of them. You can just upload images to your own instance unless some instances of disabled image uploading?

That second paragraph might as well be written in Cyrillic for all the sense it made. Do I want to know what gone mild goblin girls look like, I feel like I don’t, but I’m also morbidly curious.

That’s the tactic my goth girlfriend employees. It has its downsides.
- Comment on Great British Railways flies the flag as logo goes back to the future 5 days ago:
It’s been the logo forever. Even when the trains were nationalised it was still the symbol for a train station, it’s become somewhat of an international symbol for a train even in countries without context.
Because there’s only one thing better than a good design (not that I’m saying it isn’t a good design) and that is a standard.
For better or worse that’s the iconography that means trains. There’s no point in trying to change that.

I don’t think I’ve carried a wallet in about 5 years. I just have my phone in my pocket, if I need to buy something I just use my phone.
- Comment on No it won’t 6 days ago:
The one in the screenshot has a digital interface, which it made it look like a phone cover but it’s way too small to be a phone cover.
I honestly think the image is AI generated and it’s just based on a wallet.

All metal what? I can’t even work out what it is. Given the fact that I don’t know what this is, I’m reasonably confident that I don’t want it.

We have so many tickets open with third party companies that almost certainly won’t get resolved until the new year that there’s no point worrying about our productivity.

I’m confused about what kind of response they were expecting to get. Were they hoping someone was going to link them a timu shrink ray?
- Comment on Patients clogging up A&E with hiccups, sore throats and niggles 1 week ago:
The problem is if you have anything that obviously requires medical intervention, even if non-serious, they can’t just issue a prescription over the phone, so you up having to go to the GP or A&E anyway, so why not just go there directly and skip the phone call?
- Comment on Patients clogging up A&E with hiccups, sore throats and niggles 1 week ago:
That would only work if they fix the GP system. Otherwise people will just pay the fee and go anyway.
If you don’t call between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 a.m. and 1 second you won’t get an appointment the same day. Seriously that’s not much of an over exaggeration, it really is that bad.
- Comment on Patients clogging up A&E with hiccups, sore throats and niggles 1 week ago:
I had an eye infection, just conjunctivitis, unpleasant but not serious. However 111 decided I was going blind and needed to go to get it looked at in person. I wish I just ignored them because at the end of the day I basically just got sent to the pharmacy in Tesco’s.
- Comment on Patients clogging up A&E with hiccups, sore throats and niggles 1 week ago:
It shouldn’t be the individual surgeries organised this. It should be just part of the NHS website. We don’t want 200,000 different websites all looking different all with slightly different options
- Comment on Patients clogging up A&E with hiccups, sore throats and niggles 1 week ago:
No it’s a serious need.
Earlier this year I got a fairly serious eye infection, the pharmacy required a prescription in order to give me the eye drops, so I had to call the GP who of course don’t have any appointments until the middle of next month so I had to go down there and just wait and see if somebody didn’t turn up then I could have their spot. It took all of 15 seconds for the doctor to actually write me the prescription. It took over 2 hours to get that prescription.
It was a colossal waste of everyone’s time but the NHS system forced the time wasting to happen. What is the point in a pharmacy qualification if they’re not allowed to make judgements about medication. If all they’re going to do is hand out medication based on a prescription then they might as well just hire from the Jobcentre.
