So I guess you're wondering how I got here...

Misaligned jump off a cliff in my explorer. Can't drive it out, guess I'll be falling!

Please take generic action

From a live Renault app, I'm always amazed the car companies' apps are so bad, it's not like they're short of a bob or two to spend on getting it right.

We were made for these times

I know this community is not strongly in use but... I find the linked letter to be helpful to me when times out in the world get difficult. It's odd, because the message is quite religious and I'm staunchly agnostic.

>Yet, I urge you, ask you, gentle you, to please not spend your spirit dry by bewailing these difficult times. Especially do not lose hope.

It always works for me, hopefully it might work for someone else out there.

Who all wants a silent spring?
  • Of course German has a word for it! I did some bee research a long while back and we used to stick a tiny bit of numbered card on bees to track them. That has a German word as well, something like opalithplatchen.

    What kind of language has a separate word for a tiny bit of numbered card that you stick on a bee?

  • Who all wants a silent spring?
  • My old neighbour had one of those kebab shop bug zapper lights which she hung outside and ran all day and all night. I couldn't sit out because the sound of insects being disassembled was too much for me to cope with.

  • Sourdough ciabatta rolls

    Okay so I totally failed to put the dough in the fridge overnight, these might not quite be as intended but they're okay!

    Be still my beating tastebuds

    How low on avocado do you need to be to not be allowed to say that it's guac? 3.5% will certainly do it.

    Does anyone else find that 4G+ on O2 is awful?

    I'm not 5G enabled yet so theoretically 4G+ should be my fastest connection speed. However, on O2 I find that it's effectively the same as having no connection at all, and often end up shifting down to 3G just to get some connection.

    This can't be right, I feel like I've forgotten a setting or something! Has anyone managed to figure it out, or maybe first does anyone else have the same issue?

    Men: shopping with women

    Having trouble phrasing this, so in case it's not clear I'm not looking for casual misogyny thanks

    Having a debate with a friend about whether men shopping with women can be fun and I'm wondering how coloured my view of this is by me and my ex.

    I'd love to hear what makes a great shopping experience for you with your friends or significant others!

    Accident on motorway - what's the protocol?

    I was driving round the M25 and there was an accident in front of me, I could still get round so I slowed down, put hazards on but drove past and carried on my way.

    What's the actual protocol in those situations? I could see all the airbags were deployed, there's nothing I could do for the people inside and for sure getting out on a motorway is a bad idea.

    But I feel like I should have done something different. Can anyone with knowledge enlighten me?

    Feddit UK and Meta

    Seeing as this conversation is going on everywhere right now, what's the approach to Meta going to be here on UK? Personally I'm all for defederation as soon as possible, what does everyone else think?

    Playing engineer, ranking more slowly

    I started playing at the weekend with my teenagers, we've agreed to only play DRG when we're together so no-one goes off ranking up too fast which is what happened when we played Valorant.

    We've selected classes somewhat randomly, I'm playing engineer, they are driller and gunner.

    After about 3 or 4 missions they've got to rank 4 and I'm still on 3. I feel like they're getting more kills because they have more killy weapons (waaagh), is that what the rank system is based on?

    If so, have I chosen a class which is slower going or gets better late game? Or, does it not really matter as much as I think? I can see that ranking up means better upgrades, presumably therefore more kills so it could be a feedback loop.

    Overall we've found it to be great fun as well as a kind of chaotic, screaming mess!

    Totally missed starter Saturday. Here's Doris today

    Fed yesterday, 2 hours at room temp and then in the fridge. She's actually got a bit bigger than I would like already so maybe straight in the fridge next time?

    Which to buy? Steam question

    When I go on to Steam there's a heap of different versions of DRG: vanilla, Dwarven Legacy, Master Edition, Deluxe Edition.

    I don't want to over buy a new game but at the same time, dislike not being able to do stuff because it's in a DLC.

    What does the hive mind recommend?

    Don't want to cause controversy with my first post here but is this the end of the world?

    Why would I want my tea to taste like toast and jam?

    My boys got me a starter off eBay for my birthday

    Not sure how much the seller understands about the process!
