Shout out to Postman who this week decided to depreciate their local (secure) credential storage scratchpad, to force people to use their API and store everything on their cloud platform

Global enshitification continues

I'm at a loss with this one

Fun puffin fact: Puffins have conservative family values and mate for life, raising a single chick (adorably called a puffling) in the same burrow each year

Seeing puffin on restaurant menus in Iceland after learning this was a bit concerning

One meal a day

An in game tick in osrs is 0.6s so that's bang on

As an especially persperous gentleman... Absolutely

If I try to use a gym without a towel I end up flicking sweat everywhere and nobody wants that

The guy admitted to scaling the models to fit, because had a bee in his bonnet about how palworld "glorifies animal abuse"

There's an interesting conversation to have about where exactly the line between plagarisim and inspiration is, but it's unlikely palworld devs used stolen assets

jumping off point

Woah there, corporate informs me this is insensitive to Lemmings

Lemmy HR will be in touch

They're worth sticking with just to see the end of everyone's arc - memories legion is also great at filling some gaps all over the series

The show unfortunately drops off a cliff before laconia gets started - doesn't end in a bad spot, pre time skip, but the shite with Cas Anvar means they'd have to remake the whole last season to resurrect it

etoro is a broker that allows you to "copy trade" popular investors and portfolios, which mimc trades according to how much capital you have invested, though Nancy ain't gonna be on there

There's also ETFs such as ARK which are easy to get into, are managed by the likes of Cathie Wood and if they're doing a good job, only go up

Biggest regret in the last 15 years is not getting into it earlier tbh, if you have even a passing interest in trading, open a mock account (or a real one with some money you don't mind "losing") and just have a go - it's very simple nowadays. Gone are the days where you need to pay $10 to a broker to even make a trade

I'd recommend anova brand

I pay for 5g in London with EE with an LTE phone

I've turned it off - it's too unreliable even 3 years later... Feels like 1 bar of 5g spends an age trying to get a connection, then slowly reverts to 3 bars of 4g, which is ultimately just worse than just using 4g

Could just be my oldish phone, or the concrete jungle, but feels like shite to me

Purists may hate the suggestion of an American studio but... Avatar, legend of aang and korra are both great

I found this out the hard way with my coworker

Come on bro you've heard of 420. Just Google it bro it's a big day for those who know

Hitlers birthday?

Ah... No the other thing

Columbine high school massacre?

Noooo

BP oil disaster?

Ya know what never mind

You're in a community called 'no stupid questions' and your response to a question is 'what a stupid question'? Good work

I very much recommend the book if you liked the film!

Wow thanks had no idea this was an option on my Samsung. . it was just hiding disabled in my settings as "lockdown mode"

Boost stopped working

This works great

No reason to go anywhere

Offer accepted on a listed c16 farmhouse in q4 2021, after thinking about the original 3y fix mortgage we lined up, I convinced the wife to put up all the profit from the last house, the entire renovation budget (as well as a bunch of profit from a potentially foolish foray into $GME) to get to 75% LTV and a 10y fix on just over £500k @ 1.7%

It took until July 2022 to complete, managed a big discount on offer price due to some confusing wording on the estate agents listing (and the vendors being a bit silly and telling us they needed to sell ASAP cause they were getting a divorce) but managed it before the mortgage offer expired

I'll be almost 40 by the time i need to worry about payments going up, and we'll have way more equity by then - safe to say I'm pretty chuffed

Hey it's me, you and you too

The story is great regardless, but there is a definate shift between the hyper realism I fell in love with in the early books, vs the protomolecule Sci fi of the later books - it was all necessary to close the story and the funky Miller chapters were some of the best, but there was defo the sense of getting to the ending for the ending's sake

If there was ever another shot at completing the series I'd be first in line, but in its current state I can't recommend watching beyond season 5

The side characters really did shine in the early tv seasons though - cara gee as a meld of drummer/pa was fantastic, the belter creole was iconic. Wes as Amos was perfect, Cas as Alex was (initially) great, Dominique as naiomi switching between belter creole/common was awesome - it was a shame the series suffered cause Cas was a pig, but I can't blame Amazon for covering their ass

In this case, I look forward to our bicycle powered future

Oh interesting thanks I'll definitely look that up! loved the world building, progression and growth from aang to korra

Totally agree on the highs and lows, Amon was such a good introductory antagonist and the suspense at the end of season 1 was something else, some things just seemed resolve themselves a bit too quickly!

Eagerly awaiting boost for lemmy

Using connect for now - purely based on a 1m browse of the play store

Hard agree

At least until I feel asleep halfway through cyberpunk edgerunners, and woke up in the last 10 mins of the last episode, spoiling it...

A year later I'm doing AoT and of course fell asleep at the end of S2, waking up a few episodes into S3 thoroughly confused

I'm slowly realising I might be getting old and just need more sleep... But I'm not willing to believe that yet

An Endymion trilogy with bits of Hyperion sprinkled in for flavour would be perfect

Punk goes pop - was the soundtrack of my teens

Cya in lumby

Ads or paying $20 on sync is a bit of a joke

Went from Connect > Sync > Connect - sync was smoother but not $20 smoother

Nobody ever stops playing osrs, we just take breaks

Futurama taught me this
