Why do Skodas have a heated rear windscreeen? To keep your hands warm while you push it.
(I've owned a few Skodas, they've all been good cars)

This guy's ping is terrible
If I order a cup of tea, I don't want to get a cup of hot water and a tea bag. Bloody continentals.
Belgian, so I'm surprised they were sensible enough to wear any kind of footwear
There's a first time for everything I guess
At least you can lock a usb port behind an access panel
There is missing context for the scene from The Expanse. Alex (the pilot) gets the computer to plot a course using manoeuvring thrusters only, so it is not just a series of gravity assists, there is also manoeuvring to adjust course.
I would say that one of two things (or both) is happening:
Also, he drinks a fair few beers while hiding behind Cyllene before this, so that would support 2 I think.
Not every country in Europe is in the EU
What is the alternative? Piracy?
Magnet fishing.
I bought a kit that included a reasonably sized 360° magnet, rope, grappling hook and protective cover for about £120 thinking that it would be good enough to keep me satisfied for a while.
After my first trip out and having to carry a load of scrap metal about a mile back to the car, I bought a cart for £80 so I could cart it all back instead. After having to use my car to pull my magnet out of the harbour on Saturday I've bought a cheap winch and a tow rope to anchor it to things for £25 for when it gets stuck somewhere I can't use my car.
And of course I wanted a bigger magnet almost immediately, but I've managed to hold off on that so far. Saying that it's fairly likely I will get an upgrade from Bondi magnets when the site launches as long as the price is competitive with Magnetar (I suspect it's a partnership and the magnets will be identical, but we'll see)
It only takes one person to fuck it up. I agree it's stupid, but introducing a conflicting standard increases the chances of someone fucking it up in the name of progressiveness. Needless to say I killed off the main branch that someone one had tried to make to replace the master branch.
After encountering blackfly in Strasbourg last year and having legs covered in blistered bites I don't have as much hatred for the tiger mosquito, at least the reaction to those bites is minimal
Posting about all of my magnet fishing adventures on !magnetfishing@feddit.uk in the hope that people find it interesting and that maybe one day I won't be the only person making posts there.
I originally just wanted to join a magnet fishing community, but I found that there wasn't one so I made one myself and starting posting.
Outer Wilds has a lot of beautiful things to look at, whether it's a planet or moon soaring overhead impossibly close, or something more cosmically spectacular. The music and sound design enhances the experience a lot too.
PC in early 2024 for anyone wondering
Play the Outer Wilds DLC, if you loved the base game, you will like the DLC too
It got rejected when I suggested it as a name for a Corvette class light frigate, despite it sounding awesome
It doesn't trigger the horn on UK cars, which I definitely appreciate. Although it was amusing to watch my partner jump every time I locked our hire car in the USA, the noise pollution is unnecessary.
The first game I have a memory of playing is Sonic 2 with the Knuckles cartridge you could piggyback it on, so I guess that, but I was young so it could have just been the most memorable. I remember playing Earthworm Jim around the same time but having no idea how to play it.
If the council maintained the road markings like they are supposed to then companies meeting their obligations to repaint markings would never make the news. It only gets picked up on when the original marking is basically non existent anyway.
It is OBD2, OBDeleven is a Bluetooth dongle you plug into it
Whenever I'm driving on a very straight road, I can be pretty certain that it was built by the Romans and is still used to this day
I have lived in the UK (Gloucestershire towns, so quite rural) my whole life and I have seen 2 living hedgehogs, and one of them was in Germany. I have seen countless unliving hedgehogs on the road however. If you come expecting to see hedgehogs without specifically finding somewhere you know they will show up, you will probably be disappointed.
Angering the USB-IF
I did it slowly and it felt wrong enough that I know it would fuck my shit up if I did it quickly
I've eaten Taco Bell in the US and the UK, both had no noticeable effect on my digestive system.
It tasted better in the US, though the ingredients seemed identical here. I think my cheesy gordita crunch just wasn't heated up enough for the cheese to melt between the tacos
It comes with the DLC
I have prime until they bring in ads, and I'm using Apple TV+ but I have near enough a year of free trials through a credit card, buying an LG TV and my phone network provider. I use my cousin's Disney+, my partner pays for crunchy roll but I don't know how much that gets used.
Apple TV+ is definitely worth it, even paying the subscription. I use Amazon enough that the free delivery is sort of worth it, but I can usually get things cheaper elsewhere now.
I use Plex and sail the seven seas for everything I currently can't get on one of the services available to me, and I expect to go more this way in future as streaming services start taking the piss
Canadians are getting robbed. Roaming for me, if I travelled to Canada from the UK, would be £15 a month added to my plan, and I have one of the more expensive providers (EE). That's with the same limits so like 200GB data.
I don't know, I didn't pull the object out with it. I'm guessing it got caught on something large and got wedged in so I couldn't just overcome the force of the magnet to get it off. Could have been something huge and magnetic, or could've just been stuck between rocks. I was just happy to not lose my magnet
Magnet Fishing.
I'm not entirely sure why I enjoy it so much but I suppose it's a combination of different things. It gives me a dopamine hit in a similar way to opening a loot crate, the difference being I'm mostly getting rusty, muddy scrap rather than anything valuable, and some stuff can be quite interesting. It's very satisfying pulling out large objects like bicycles, or even just big pieces of iron. It's nice to feel like I'm cleaning up waterways too, but that's not what attracts me to it.
Also magnets are cool.
Is this in Edale where the shooting at John Shelby's house in Peaky Blinders was filmed?
You can do a wash cycle, check it and then do a dry cycle if you're paranoid about it. Personally I just chuck stuff in mine on a combined wash and dry and it comes out clean and perfectly dry. The first unit I bought was shit and barely ever dried anything properly but I sent it back and got a Samsung instead and it's been flawless.
It's a great shot, love the gloomy atmosphere with the one cosy light in the window
The one I have has a 600kg pull force, but I would like a stronger one. Obviously you have to be able to pull whatever gets attached to it off, which sometimes needs a good yank. It's not particularly heavy, maybe 1kg. Usually I just stick it in a bucket attached to the rope, but I keep it in the polystyrene and box it came in when it's at home or if I'm travelling far. The only danger having it in the car is it sticking to it, but that's easily avoided. Takes a good yank to get it off if it does get stuck to a piece of steel as large as a car body though.
Electronics are never really a concern, the only thing the magnet is likely to come close to is my phone but I try to remember to not have it in my pockets while magnet fishing, and that's really because I don't want to drop it in the water. Fixed magnets have to move over a conductor to induce a current, and it would be quite small I think. The electomagnet in that breaking bad episode is very large, probably with a pull force magnitudes higher than a fishing magnet, and I can't speak for the shows accuracy (I don't actually remember what they used it for now).
This sort of thing works for me, I think the key is instead of trying to quiet your mind, if you instead keep it busy with something mundane or relaxing until it just switches off. Sometimes I pick numbers and do multiplication in my head, and eventually I'm close enough to falling asleep that I forget the two numbers I'm multiplying and at that point I stop and fall asleep within minutes.
Yes we should stay in summer time. It was already getting dark super early and now it's dark at like 5pm
You're welcome, thanks for being interested! If you happen to be interested in seeing some finds or just generally hearing more about magnet fishing, I've started posting in a (very small, but I hope it will grow) community here !magnetfishing@feddit.uk
It's all good and well until you start working in a repo that has both master and main branches for some reason, and it is not clear which is actually the master/main branch.
