empireOfLove , to piracy in What streaming services do you pay for?

Spotify. It is the only subscription I have aside from my VPN, and mostly because their library is MASSIVE.

With how much I drive I’m constantly listening to the damn thing and being able to pick a genre and let it shuffle without thinking about it is 1000% worth the ten bucks a month to not be constantly picking songs, downloading them, sorting and transferring the library to my phone, maintaining storage space, etc…

Yeah, discovery was one of my main reasons for using it. Getting my own music just sounds like a huge undertaking considering how I listen on a whim.

Riktastic , to selfhosted in Anything else to consider when hosting a Lemmy instance in the EU?

First of all, I’m not a lawyer or a legal consultant, just a instance admin that wants to make sure that his instance complies.

Lemmy does not store any PII (birthdates, legal names, addresses,securitynumbers). But users are able to share whatever they want. And that can be a problem.

Check out my instances legal page: Laguna.chat/legal

In the future I want to make sure that my instances content can only be shared by GDPR respecting instances.

I haven’t been able to let this thought go since it first entered my mind years ago, but I have no means of providing evidence. The scale of our universe does not allow a lowly person like me to provide evidence for such theories :(

Okay, so what if galaxies are synonymous to atoms in that they are the building blocks of something greater?

insert something here about protons, neutrons, electrons, quarks etc. being comparable to solar systems and planets.

Galaxies form galactic groups and clusters. Clusters can form into super clusters. Beyond that, you’re looking at the universe itself as the next large collection of stuff.

I’m very happy to see a casualUK replacement for the suddenly redditless. I literally signed up to Lemmy about 10 minutes ago so I’m still feeling this thing out!

I’m looking forward to arguing about crisps with you all 🙃

sideone OP ,
@sideone@lemmy.world avatar

Welcome, glad you’re here 🙂

(Salt and vinegar are the best crisps)

TediousParrot ,

I concur, but what type of salt and vinegar?

  • Discos: Not as good as they were when I were a lad.
  • Walkers: Consistently ok.
  • Kettle: Good if you are feeling a bit posh, but the balsamic vinegar can be overwhelming.
  • McCoy’s Ridge Cut: Excellent.
theskyisfalling ,

The co-op own brand version of kettle are the best flavoured salt and vinegar crisps I have had in a long time as I have found most other brands taste more watered down these days. Don’t know if that is changes or my taste buds getting old but they hit the spot!

Ruchbah ,

Agree with co-op salt & vinegar being the best (I do like mccoys too) - don’t really like walkers any more, the crisis are too thin!

blackstrat ,

McCoys salt and vinegar for sure.

But I do enjoy a Walkers Prawn Cocktail too

Mr_Blott ,

I can confirm when you leave the UK, prawn cocktail are the ones you miss the most.

Plus, you can’t explain to people because the name itself makes them sound fuckin disgusting

codapine ,

Expat here, and I just got back. I brought back Quavers, Nik-Naks, Wheat Crunchies, Monster Munch, Space Raiders,… but I didn’t bring any sort of prawn cocktail.

Not even Skips. Am I even British anymore??

sideone OP ,
@sideone@lemmy.world avatar

McCoy’s are great. I’d usually go for a supermarket brand “finest” standard / kettle crisp.

Mane25 ,

Also agreeing that co-op are the best, but if you find the vinegar in Kettle overwhelming then maybe it’s not for you, they are very vinegary.

Crisps are not worth having unless they’re salt and vinegar.

Discos start hurting if you have too many. They give you tiny cuts and then load up the salt to aggravate them.

McCoys are my favourite.

Off for burgers at lunchtime with #1 child, can’t wait. Have to take a month’s worth of garden waste to the tip this morning as they’re striking and not collecting. Going to have to try to get a full wheelie bin in the car…

TediousParrot ,

I love a good burger, but the wife isn’t so keen. Burgers are now a treat for me… Honest Burger is my go-to chain for ‘It’s pretty good’.

I put the green (it’s green for garden waste here) bin out on Friday and they emptied it, which I consider a win given all the local politics about strikes and stuff.

sideone OP ,
@sideone@lemmy.world avatar

Emptied half manually, then picked up and tipped in the rest. Was an absolute bastard, especially with an unknown pain in my hand from falling off my skateboard last weekend. I couldn’t empty the rest by hand - the stuff at the bottom has been there for a month and started to compost.

For a serious reoly, I think the expression “If they have eggs, buy two” is redundant. If they didn’t have eggs, the kid just can’t and won’t buy any eggs.

I think the proper command would be, “Please buy 1 bottle of milk and two eggs.” That way, the kid won’t be confused and it’s still a proper valid command.

Unfortunately though, the sentence is ambiguous even to non-programmers. It is unknown whether the if condition applies to

  • buying two eggs (buy two eggs)
  • buying two bottles of milk (buy two bottles instead)
  • or buying a bottle of milk (buy another bottle)

Simply because they didn’t specify which to buy.

For a non-serious reply,


<span style="color:#323232;">cart.add(supermarket.takeProduct(ProductType.milk, 1));
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">if (supermarket.getProduct(type: ProductType.eggs).length > 0) {
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    cart.add(supermarket.takeProduct(Product type.milk, 2));
</span><span style="color:#323232;">}
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">cart.checkout();
</span>

The kid should have bought a total of 3 bottles.

They are. Solar systems make up galaxies, which make up clusters, which make up super clusters, which make up galaxy filaments the largest known structures in the universe. Each one of these recursions make the one before it seem infinitesimally small.

youCanCallMeDragon ,
@youCanCallMeDragon@lemmy.world avatar

The universe… which might actually be the inside of a giant black hole. Turns out the observable universe contains more than enough mass to create a black hole the size of the observable universe. This would also make sense because the Big Bang started as a singularity of infinite density, and what’s at the center of a black hole? A singularity of infinite density. This also would jive with the recent developments around the holographic universe theory because black holes have been shown to store all contained information holographically (basically all of the information is encoded on the 2d surface of the event horizon).

The theory that our universe is inside a black hole isn’t new, nor is it accepted as fact by the whole scientific community, but it is a genuine possibility. Then begs the question, is there another universe outside this black hole, and are there universes inside the black holes in our universe? It might be an infinite self contained loop of infinite universes.

Please note that all of this is way oversimplified.

LexaPrime ,
@LexaPrime@kbin.social avatar

I guess that could also explain why we're only able to move in time in one direction? As in, time being the fourth dimension along which we are being pulled into that black hole of the higher, four-dimensional universe, with three-dimensional "surface" of the event horizon? Would that make any sense?

Recovering after spending the day at St Pauls Carnival (Bristol) yesterday. I was out most of the day and into the evening. By the end there were rivers of piss running down the roads. It was a good day but I don’t envy those tasked with the clean-up.

I had my ear plugs in and it was still super loud when near the sound systems. Some were great, some had so much bass it drowned out everything else. I don’t understand how people can stand right next to the speakers (well… I assume drugs).

Not sure what to do today, although I think dinner is going to involve jacket spuds.
