  • Aye good mate.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should I get a drum kit, or a pressure washer?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Just keep in mind the electronic drums still make noise, just not as much as the real thing. If it’s in a separate room a bit far away from the other people it’s fine but don’t expect to play it next to your sleeping partner in the same room.

  Yesss Kodak is a better comparison, or maybe some of these VHS blank tapes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Graphic Design Is My Passion⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I get that but I still don’t like it haha.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Graphic Design Is My Passion⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah the text is placed in an annoying order but the design itself is kind of nice, I like the colours they’re a bit Mondrian-like.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨SAD⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I hear retirement homes get freaky as hell so I’m not so sure about that, also while I enjoy it it’s really not that big a deal. As a dad the original one kills me though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you are a young person you have no idea how bad everyone and everything smelled until at least the 1990s.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah if you reek of smoke that bad you’re probably smoking in confined spaces e.g. inside your house, car, etc. Clothes start being impregnated again as soon as they’re out of the wash coz the whole house is continually full of smoke. Folks that smoke “the modern way” (only outside, etc) will probably only smell when coming back from a smoke for a bit, or maybe the breath/fingertips up close.

  For me that’s rocket league.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the game you play when nothing else sounds good?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I play pinball deluxe on my phone instead, tried to get some simulators running but gave up and this game is good enough. My brother and his friend are super into it, one has two real tables and the other has a fake, full size table with a TV inside that plays emulators. Good stuff.

  Damn I’ve stopped buying vinyl for a while already and only get them as gift but this one is really tempting…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I just WON'T⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the non-milky ones are usually called sorbets, but for example small fruity ice creams on sticks we still can ice creams and these don’t have milk. So I guess my answer is no we don’t (in Europe).

  Seriously cursed species we are.

  Except if it’s an empirical “you” and “human” defines the entire human race. I’m pretty sure grammatically speaking this is a valid interpretation, right?

  Is it good solo? I don’t have a lot of time for games but this looks like it might be able to scratch my (MMO)RPG itch a bit without being too much of a time sink.

  Because it can’t be broken again.

  And then you get pitted (so pitted).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's been 30 years and I still can't get over the fact that the French word for "potatoes" is "ground apples." Have The French never had an apple?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s right I guess, but at least in a beignet there’s a bit of preparation involved, I was picturing just whole fried apples or maybe like french fries but made of apple, but you’re right I guess beignet counts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's been 30 years and I still can't get over the fact that the French word for "potatoes" is "ground apples." Have The French never had an apple?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Fried apples? Maybe that’s a Texas thing, or Scottish, but it wouldn’t be a source of confusion in France because they’d take your passport away if you tried frying an apple.

  In these kinds of discussions you can assume the third world country jab was a reference to the US.

  Why does it need to be a pod??

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cereal⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Muesli is great but imho the ratio of satiety to calorie is way better with the cereals and a splash of milk, I get something that feels like a “meal” for like 250cal, would be much more for a bowl of muesli that doesn’t feel like I’m starving myself.

  I use a nutty muesli to top quark yoghurt, that’s a great snack/dessert I get 25g protein from the quark and the muesli I just put 15/25g on top which already almost doubles the calories but does make the whole thing much nicer, it’s a daily staple for me.

  Yes, I’m pretty far in the deep end of calorie control right now ^_^’

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cereal⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Just always check nutrition info, some of these that are presented as healthy are really not that great. In general, cereals are pure carbs pretty much so should limit the quantity to what you need in carbs, but they can also have a lot of fiber and be fairly efficient in terms of satiety to calorie ratio, I recently switched back to a small bowl in the morning for breakfast.

  I know it’s the biggest annoyance I get on the road and the reason I try not to drive at night. And I live in Europe! When I drive at night in north America it’s much worse.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Headlamp tech that doesn’t blind oncoming drivers—where is it?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This, and the one facing the other side of the road needs to be angled lower than the other one, that’s it.
