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…
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.
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 :(
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 🙃
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!
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.
Only after a full family-size bag, where you’ve burned the taste buds off your tongue, can’t taste anything but salt, and have a case of the crisp-sweats. Up to then they’re just grand.
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…
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.
Recently I was at the dump an the guy in front of my had two full wheelie bins in his car. I thought he was the smartest person ever until I saw him try to 1) maneuver a full bin out of the car and 2) upend the bin into the skip.
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.
I tied the bin lid down and I think I got away with it. Tried not to think about the thousands of insects that were probably trying to get out on the ten minute journey.
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)
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.
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.
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.
