Labour 5 for 5 so far! I'm no statistician but if this trend continues...
If you're in the US there are two stock trackers, one that tracks republican stock movements and one for democrat.
If you're in the UK unfortunately those tablets are not available.
Febrile atmosphere here, febrile.
Hoping that we can be rid of the tories today. More distant hope is for a change to the voting system...
Dinosaurs existed on the other side of the galaxy!
As in, it was so long ago that Earth has done half of a great cycle since then.
Bude. Don't go to Bude. There is nothing to see there.
This is why I read genre fiction rather than literary fiction. Sure, you and your book club can look down on me but until you're reading a book that isn't a variation on a theme of "unsuccessful professional moves back to coastal small town to look after their mother who has dementia", yous can all get to fuck.
A captain planet meme? Wow that takes me back.
Love Tom Cardy. His lord of the rings song is a constant rewatch favourite.
Only mildly relevant to the topic but I saw him in this and he was awesome, a really amazing actor. The rest of the cast were good but he was a cut above.
I like the way there's a police car there, in case people were thinking they might just go for it anyway
Scrabbles around looking for shocked face Pikachu
I used to shave, you can do it often and avoid regrowth hell. Recently I started getting waxed, shaft, balls, butt. Really worth it, smooth for weeks, I love it, women love it.
Yes it's painful at the time but not so much that you are tender walking to your car afterwards, it's a stinging pain and then it's done.
Plus you get the fun of trying to have a normal conversation about upcoming holidays with a woman who is pouring hot wax on your junk, an experience I would recommend to anyone who hates small talk.
One of the very few Sci fi films on which I have given up after about 30 minutes
I think it was done with the very best of intentions, what it taught me is that you should either just go ahead and give up your seat or hang on to it, it's the asking that makes things worse.
London transport introduced the little "baby on board" badges shortly after this, which simplified matters hugely.
I was on a packed commuter train once and in the silence this conversation happened
Seated guy (loudly): Are you pregnant?
Standing woman: Sorry?
Sg: I said are you pregnant?
Sw: No
Sg: Oh okay
The second hand cringey embarrassment of that interaction has stayed with me for about 25 years
Socialised private transport? Call it a car club and it's private enterprise and therefore okay, like Zipcar here in the UK!
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!
