Always nervous before surgery, but it has always been fine so far.

Make your homemade PC fit inside the Steam Box profile, then tell me the price of ingredients

What you are paying for is a standardised experience.

There is a reason people visit Rome or Vietnam and still go to McDonalds: predictable, reliable experience.

Bill Bryson - The Lost Continent

It’s funny and a great read as Bryson always is, but I noticed for the first time that my values have changed since I first read it.

He pretty regularly comments on how overweight people are, and doesn’t mind describing exactly what he finds unattractive in older or overweight women.

I guess I just got fat friends and find that distasteful now.

... because they are slightly less greedy than the main Woolworths/Coles duopoly.

Aldi are doing god's work, I only wish they could establish in New Zealand, but apparently our Foodstuffs/Woolworths duopoly is even harder to crack into.

I am sneezing just looking at it.

Great picture though

I did, but I forced myself to do it yesterday... Zero emails directed at me!

Time to celebrate by basking in my self-satisfaction and not checking it the rest of the week.

Music communities/discussion is not the same as spotify music discovery.

Communities can recommend you music that is the same genre as the music you like.

Algorithms can recommend music that you will like as much as your input taste.

At Home: A short history of home life by Bill Bryson. A history of houses, and just history relating to houses.

Most back cover reviews exaggerate, but it really has made me laugh out loud, at least most chapters.

Even better, it gives me a constant stream of interesting facts to throw at my partner. Did you know they had locks on doors and underfloor heating back in the neolithic?

It broke again. Test posting here to see if it helps

 

Hi there,

For a couple of weeks now the save button on old.lemmy.world no longer works. Similarly, I can't unsave links from u/TheIvoryTower?view=Saved

If I login to standard lemmy.world, it does work.

 
 

Its been a rough week, the whales under Orison need sacrifice.
