In a nuclear war loads of people wouldn’t die but would love unhappily ever after.

I think it’d be hard to get into the mood at all tbh.

Ah ok - I didn’t know that and that makes sense. So the “mountain” isn’t really as big as it might seem?

Every time I see this photo, I feel like the person on the mountain must have been shopped in later, because they look the wrong scale to me. But apparently it’s completely genuine. Amazing shot if so.

This just keeps getting better and better! 👍👍👍

Well, not rabbit, anyway.

As a UK right hander, shifting with my right hand would be super weird! Completely used to doing it with my left 😁

Thanks for this, it’s my number 1 favourite book, so looking forward to reading the article!

Soup is Good Food 😁

Seconding this - batch cooking is the way to go. Sometimes on a Sunday I’ll just spend a day making large batches of 2 or 3 meals like this, almost all of which will be frozen and then used over the next few weeks.

Not who you were replying to, but thanks for this. I’m hoping to give Linux a go this year, on an old laptop that isn’t needed anymore, and this makes me feel more confident about it!

They only run Miaowcrosoft products.

No problem 👍

Thanks! 😁

Yeah, I doubt I’d go to all the trouble if I was starting from scratch now. But this is more or less what I had back when Nova was king, and I’ve just replicated it because of muscle memory!

That’s amazing news - I enjoy Rifftrax a lot, but having those 3 in character as Mike and the bots just adds that extra something else. That, plus the host segments, which is another part I miss when I see a Rifftrax episode. And MJP as Pearl, wrangling Bobo and Brain Guy as well?? Woo hoo!

Not sure about the latter part, but Total is another launcher allowing 4-way swiping for shortcuts. Absolute godsend.

Using a non-default launcher gives you more options to customise your home screen and any other screens off to the side.

For example, Pixels always have the Google search bar right there on the home screen, and it’s not removable (or not last I checked). But what if I don’t want it there? A 3rd party launcher will usually give me that option.

Or another example - some launchers allow the use of gestures to activate certain things, eg open app A, start an email in app B, call a specific contact, etc. This can be gestures on empty parts of the screen or swipes on icons.

On my phone, on which I use Total Launcher, it looks like this:

Tapping each of those 12 icons opens a folder. But I can also swipe each folder icon up, down, left or right and have certain apps or activities open without ever needing to go into the app drawer.

So, if I want to make a call, I swipe left on the communications folder (top right). If I want to open Lemmy, I swipe right on the Internet folder (blue, bottom row). If I want to open my phone settings, I swipe up on the Tools folder. And so on.

That way, I can activate 48 different things while only having 12 icons on screen, keeping it quite neat and tidy, and leaving space for my little collection of widgets at the top.

Ha, yeah, the benefits of being a set text at high school for a long time (possibly still now, not sure).

I couldn’t do the whole thing, but I could have a good stab at the first 10 lines or so!

HWP is a fun one, the speaker is such a hypocrite, and you can tell Burns was relishing making him look so stupid 😁

I’m not all that well read with Burns, but I do love Tam O’Shanter, and Holy Willie’s Prayer, they’d be very decent ones to try 👍

With all the crap Infantino has pulled, this seems like pretty small beer to me. Can’t believe people are getting upset about it.
