The UK has an ice hockey league - not sure how many natives are in the teams though. Hockey is massive in (parts of) India - but they tend to play the version without ice…

For their personalities?
- Comment on AI driver: review of Mark Rober's LIDAR showcase 1 week ago:
Thank you.
I saw it a few days ago. I know the guy from his glitterbomb videos but it was the Roadrunner vibe that really attracted me this time
I’m no scientist but if you can map space mountain with lidar then… it’s probably better then a camera at identifying physical objects blocking your path. And his short experiment seems to support that.
- Comment on AI driver: review of Mark Rober's LIDAR showcase 1 week ago:
The single biggest issue must be that it was just funny / thought provoking content on YouTube - not a groundbreaking thesis being developed in real time.
However, some apparent shortcomings of the Tezla are probably worth following-up… by far more qualified individuals in a far more formal and peer reviewable environment.
- Comment on Normal people probably don't consider themselves normal. 3 weeks ago:
Shout out to all the abnormal people that don’t consider themselves abnormal.
- Comment on Why most countries are struggling to shut down 2G. 3 weeks ago:
The “g” stands for generation. So it’s the 5th iteration of the technology versus the 2nd iteration. Whilst there are many improvements (speed, capacity, security etc) there are some negatives. (I believe mainly to do with signal penetration - i.e. getting a signal in basements, stone wall houses, being behind objects etc.)
Where I’m currently staying I have: 2G, edge, 4G and 5G signals available.
- Comment on We're anonymous here because we're all afraid of each other. And that's a lot of fear. 3 weeks ago:
I think this comment says more about you than it does about me/“us”.
If you are afraid of random internet users then best of luck with what else life has in store for you.
- Comment on I do not agree with their political views, but skinheads make pretty nice punk music 3 weeks ago:
Original skinheads = good kids who generally got on really well with the Jamaican rudeboys. People were generally apolitical but were connected by class (working class) not divided by colour. Eventually created 2-tone music.
Nazi skinheads = Not remotely friends with rudeboys. Probably see them as sub-human. Haven’t created anything new musically (that I’m aware of).
Punk = type of music played by both lovely accepting people and terrible scum too.
- Comment on Why can't we go back to small phones? 4 weeks ago:
I second this.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
I deliberately left the “/s” off the post as I was hoping OP would’ve chipped in again with more pearls of wisdom for us.
It’s not trolling, it’s flaming.

“Glad someone other than Putin had the ball’s to stand up to (him)…”
It’s not like Donny & JD were the first to stand up to that monstrous megalomaniac.
- Comment on Come one come all, it's time to unblock !conservative@lemmy.world and bring your best memes of conservatives! 4 weeks ago:
This is peak US politics. No wonder y’all seem to be so fucked…
Having said that, best of luck with the community.
- Comment on Facepalm on multiple levels 5 weeks ago:
I think it’s the “3rd term” bit specifically that is anti-USian, directly going against the two term limit written in the… constitution (?)
- Comment on Retro tech: Using the PSION Series 5 in 2023 1 month ago:
Still use my 5MX a couple of times a year… one of the most amazing pieces of technology I’ve ever owned.

Coolio.
- Comment on Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy 1 month ago:
So you can understand up or down but struggle with left and right?
- Comment on Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy 1 month ago:
I was trying to be analogous to help you understand… either you don’t want to understand or you’re not willing to understand or… there’s something else going on here.
- Comment on Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy 1 month ago:
-7 and -9 are both numbers… but none of them are at zero or above. They are both negative, just by varying degrees.
Are you referring to yourself as “drag” or is that a typo?
- Comment on Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy 1 month ago:
Well, right is a term relative to centre which is relative to left.
- Comment on Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy 1 month ago:
Political literacy classes are available online… the idea of anybody thinking Lemmy is right wing (whether it’s code or the majority of its user base) is hilarious and a bit sad at the same time.
- Comment on Gulf of Make a Report to Apple 1 month ago:
Yeah - I was just pointing out to the USians that it’s only changing in their country. The rest of the world will keep the original name.
- Comment on Gulf of Make a Report to Apple 1 month ago:
Still showing “Gulf of Mexico” on Apple Maps for me as of three seconds ago. I’m not in the US.
- Comment on The English word "four" has 4 letters. Are there any other numbers where the English name for them has that many letters? 1 month ago:
Nice. I like.
- Comment on The English word "four" has 4 letters. Are there any other numbers where the English name for them has that many letters? 1 month ago:
-9 (minus nine) kind of works if we’re getting desperate.

I thought you were talking about me for a hot second…
- Comment on Tesla pulls out all the stops as Cybertruck sales grind to a halt 1 month ago:
Maybe in the US they don’t…
- Comment on What's the deal with male loneliness? 2 months ago:
I think you’re correct that (some / many) people see the tiniest chink in your armour and go for the juggler (jugular vein - clown 🤡 joke) to compound your misery to make themselves feel/look “strong”.
And, yes, in abusive relationships I believe a husband is more likely to hurt and damage his wife with his fists whereas a wife would be more likely to hurt and damage her husband with words - generally speaking. It’s tragic either way…
- Comment on Moderators banning/censoring people arent oppressors violating your rights; they are customer service representatives curating the space for their intended costomers. All this to say, I see Karen. 2 months ago:
So, purely hypothetically, you would be fine with a curator deleting / omitting a fact because it goes against the narrative they are driving?
Interesting… personally I’d before to read a truth I disliked than to continue believing erroneous information; but that’s just me.
- Comment on If me and a bunch of my lemmy friends got on a yacht. Went into international waters what could we get away with legally and what would still be illegal? 2 months ago:
I remember trying to listen to Radio Caroline under my duvet on an am portable radio as a kid. This film is loosely based on their story. Great cast. Absolute junk film - one of only four films (in any language) I’ve ever switched off before the end… but that’s just my opinion. I hope you enjoy it.

Would you agree that banning/censoring is a form of suppression rather than oppression?
