The UK has building societies which sound like what you’re describing

“The result means a clause will be added to the constitution defining EU accession as a goal, though the country’s potential admission to the European bloc is still many years away.”

I’d never signed a credit or debit card in my life until I travelled to the US last year, and then I only did it because I’d heard stories of places confiscating cards if they weren’t signed. Don’t know how true they are now but I wasn’t risking it.

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.

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.

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.

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

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 because it’s come from Mastodon with hashtag spam

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)

It’s a great shot, love the gloomy atmosphere with the one cosy light in the window

Is this in Edale where the shooting at John Shelby’s house in Peaky Blinders was filmed?

Angering the USB-IF

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.

Are a really easy way to accidentally give yourself heart palpitations and be awake for the next 36 hours?

Seriously those things are really good and before you know it the packet is empty and you are afraid for your life.

I have a Vodafone router, and disabling the firewall is neither required or a sensible thing to do

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.

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
