Precarious finances: 38% of Europeans no longer eat three meals a day
  • The actual statistic of the headline is that people surveyed reported that over the last two years they "sometimes" or "regularly" no longer ate three meals a day because of inflation and the fall in their purchasing power.

  • Which book should I read?
  • A great book but I don't know if I'd recommend it as a "get into reading" book.

  • Luck be a Landlord is now banned in 13 countries on the Google Play Store
  • Similar to some countries banning games that depict skulls or blood, these countries have banned games that depict gambling. This is different from banning games that contain loot boxes or actual gambling.

  • Does anyone use a non-default voice for the Google Assistant? (Same for Siri, Alexa etc.)
  • I switched my Alexa to Australian female voice as I found it less annoying than the default UK female one.

  • WASDnesday
  • I've played a bit of Tales and Tactics this week. It's a single player roguelike auto-battler made by some Slay the Spire mod developers.

    I've also started playing Into the Breach on the SteamDeck. This is my second time trying to get into it. For some reason the first time I found it too hard so this time I started with a couple of runs on easy to ease myself in to it.

  • Does anyone use a non-default voice for the Google Assistant? (Same for Siri, Alexa etc.)
  • Yes! For some reason, she's way less annoying than the Brit or American options.

    The song 1985 by SR-71 (and covered by Bowling For Soup) was released closer to 1985 than to the present day

    The song was released May 2004. I hate time, make it stop.

    If you could have one small thing as a superpower. What would it be and why?
  • I would love to have the ability to know for any journey, no matter how complex, what time I need to leave to arrive on time.

  • Tonight we eat like kings!
  • When I was a kid, having these mean I was on holiday in a chalet or static caravan on the Yorkshire coast.

  • Confusing road markings
  • No left, only left

  • YSK: Flossing your teeth is only uncomfortable when your gums are unhealthy
  • You could also use one of those water pick things that use a pressurised water jet to clean between your teeth. After I started using one regularly my dentist even remarked on how much better my gums were looking.

  • Theory: biros have unlimited ink
  • I have a really shitty SCP idea based on this concept

  • Top Steam Deck games -June 2023
  • Just hopping on this post to say that Steam actually did a really nice Top 100 Steam Deck games for their Summer Sale.

    I got Hades and Dead Cells in the sale.

  • Can some one explain how the microblog feature works.
  • Thanks! There are a lot of tabs in the Magazine Panel and I'm still figuring out what they all do.

  • Can some one explain how the microblog feature works.
  • Magazine moderators determine what hashtags they want included in their magazine

    Great! How?

  • A very short survey on attitudes towards biological immortality

    My friend's daughter is doing a project on biological immortality. It would be great if you could help her by answering a short survey.

    She writes:

    "This is a part of the primary research for my EPQ, titled: "To what extent does telomere biology hold the key to achieving biological immortality?"

    By completing this form, you will be helping me to gather data for the second half of my project, which involves an evaluation of public understanding and perspectives on biological immortality. The results will be analysed and used as a source of information for my final dissertation."

  • I'm still playing Deep Rock Galactic. It's on sale right now. Fantastic value for about ÂŁ8 in my view.

  • What did you guys replace your reddit comments with?
  • Can I ask what tools people are using to mass edit their Reddit comments?

  • What is your least favorite mission type?
  • Point extraction. No mule and having to lug big crystals around. No thanks.

  • Mapping keyboard keys to SteamDeck buttons

    Hi all, I have a wireless keyboard that I use with my SteamDeck. They keyboard has the ususal 'windows' and 'menu' buttons. I was wondering if there is a way to set these to work as the 'steam' and '...' buttons on the Deck?

    Any gamers on here? What are you playing?
  • Nothing has displaced Deep Rock Galactic for me for quite a while. It's just so much fun to play - with friends, strangers, or solo - all are good.

  • Think of the first music video that comes to mind. What is it?
  • I... I think I just got Rickrolled by my own brain.
