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

Not every country in Europe is in the EU

Pretty much exclusively F**kface.

My partner listens to a variety and I do enjoy the bits I hear of This Paranormal Life though.

It’s safe to say that I’m in it for laughs and not much else.

No, he is is not. He has Dissociative Identity Disorder.

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)

What the fuck

ScreamingFirehawk ,

Play the Outer Wilds DLC, if you loved the base game, you will like the DLC too

I’ve never eaten the eye, is that actually a thing?

This guy’s ping is terrible

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

ScreamingFirehawk ,

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

There’s a first time for everything I guess

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.

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.

Do you really think you’re doing a good job of trying to convert people to using dairy alternatives by talking like this? All you’re doing is coming across as an insane zealot

Swapping my front brake calipers for the rebuilt ones I’ve had sat in my kitchen side for a couple months. I’ve been putting because I hate bleeding brakes but I’m fairly certain the car is leaking brake fluid now so it needs to be done.

Hopefully I will be able to do some magnet fishing tomorrow since the weather is so good and I haven’t been since the August bank holiday. Probably going to drive into Bristol again and see if the bridge by castle park is a good spot. If the jetty is anything to go by I should get some stuff, but hopefully fewer nos cartridges.

At least you can lock a usb port behind an access panel

PC in early 2024 for anyone wondering

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

ScreamingFirehawk ,

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

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.

Seriously, though. How often do you think of the Roman Empire?

I know this is a joke/meme, but I sincerely think of the Roman Empire a surprising amount of times. I find myself obsessing over how Roman citizens were living just as complex lives as we are today, or about Marcus Aurelius’ life and philosophy, or about how the Republic fell and became a totalitarian state.

ScreamingFirehawk ,

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

No, Milton Keynes is pretty new

Magnet fishing.

I bought a kit that included a reasonably sized 360° magnet, rope, grappling hook and protective cover for about £120 thinking that it would be good enough to keep me satisfied for a while.

After my first trip out and having to carry a load of scrap metal about a mile back to the car, I bought a cart for £80 so I could cart it all back instead. After having to use my car to pull my magnet out of the harbour on Saturday I’ve bought a cheap winch and a tow rope to anchor it to things for £25 for when it gets stuck somewhere I can’t use my car.

And of course I wanted a bigger magnet almost immediately, but I’ve managed to hold off on that so far. Saying that it’s fairly likely I will get an upgrade from Bondi magnets when the site launches as long as the price is competitive with Magnetar (I suspect it’s a partnership and the magnets will be identical, but we’ll see)

ScreamingFirehawk ,

I don’t know, I didn’t pull the object out with it. I’m guessing it got caught on something large and got wedged in so I couldn’t just overcome the force of the magnet to get it off. Could have been something huge and magnetic, or could’ve just been stuck between rocks. I was just happy to not lose my magnet

ScreamingFirehawk ,

The first game I have a memory of playing is Sonic 2 with the Knuckles cartridge you could piggyback it on, so I guess that, but I was young so it could have just been the most memorable. I remember playing Earthworm Jim around the same time but having no idea how to play it.

Outer Wilds has a lot of beautiful things to look at, whether it’s a planet or moon soaring overhead impossibly close, or something more cosmically spectacular. The music and sound design enhances the experience a lot too.

Magnet Fishing.

I’m not entirely sure why I enjoy it so much but I suppose it’s a combination of different things. It gives me a dopamine hit in a similar way to opening a loot crate, the difference being I’m mostly getting rusty, muddy scrap rather than anything valuable, and some stuff can be quite interesting. It’s very satisfying pulling out large objects like bicycles, or even just big pieces of iron. It’s nice to feel like I’m cleaning up waterways too, but that’s not what attracts me to it.

Also magnets are cool.

ScreamingFirehawk ,

The one I have has a 600kg pull force, but I would like a stronger one. Obviously you have to be able to pull whatever gets attached to it off, which sometimes needs a good yank. It’s not particularly heavy, maybe 1kg. Usually I just stick it in a bucket attached to the rope, but I keep it in the polystyrene and box it came in when it’s at home or if I’m travelling far. The only danger having it in the car is it sticking to it, but that’s easily avoided. Takes a good yank to get it off if it does get stuck to a piece of steel as large as a car body though.

Electronics are never really a concern, the only thing the magnet is likely to come close to is my phone but I try to remember to not have it in my pockets while magnet fishing, and that’s really because I don’t want to drop it in the water. Fixed magnets have to move over a conductor to induce a current, and it would be quite small I think. The electomagnet in that breaking bad episode is very large, probably with a pull force magnitudes higher than a fishing magnet, and I can’t speak for the shows accuracy (I don’t actually remember what they used it for now).

You’re welcome, thanks for being interested! If you happen to be interested in seeing some finds or just generally hearing more about magnet fishing, I’ve started posting in a (very small, but I hope it will grow) community here !magnetfishing

You don’t normally change oil with the engine running

Absolutely fucking not, this weather is perfect and I am despising being at work when I want to be outside

It is OBD2, OBDeleven is a Bluetooth dongle you plug into it

Leviathan Wakes by James S A Corey

I’ve watched The Expanse TV series a few times now so it’s about time I got round to reading the books. It’s no surprise that I’m really enjoying it so far, though it’s the first novel I’ve read in years.

If I order a cup of tea, I don’t want to get a cup of hot water and a tea bag. Bloody continentals.
