Ah that's the dry heat. It's a different beast.

You should write a book. That's top tier descriptiveness.

Great spot. Fair play.

We actually have decent plans to improve public transport but at least in the capital they're being held up by a bunch of (wealthy) NIMBY's.

There is legislation on the way to remove their bullshit.

Kids here get a week off in October near Halloween then two weeks around Christmas.

They get two weeks around Easter which would be your equivalent I suppose from a seasonal perspective.

I upvoted this but holy Jesus. I'm stripping off at 18C and the scientifically proven melting point for shiny white people like me is 25C. Edit: it's very humid here in fairness.

If you don't mind me asking, where is it that temperature so regularly? Must be near the equator I'm guessing.

96 apartments sharing a single 100Mb service.........

RIP. That's cruelty.

It.... was a joke.

There's some justice. One lad even shot Hitler.

It's the trickle before the flood 🤞

Sorry to hear that. It's a terrible burden to place on someone just starting their adult life.

30 odd years of more or less peace and counting 🤞

 

Presented as a gift in 1848 to Thomas Francis Meagher from a small group of French women sympathetic to Irish nationalism,[3] it was intended to symbolise the inclusion and hoped-for union between Roman Catholics (symbolised by the green colour) and Protestants (symbolised by the orange colour).

 

So, not uBlock or whatever as everyone's aware of that.

Mine (all Firefox):

Video Speed Controller. LOVE this one. A tiny widget appears on any video showing current speed and you hit a key to +10% / -10% (I have mine mapped to [ and ]). You can also hide the little widget (v) if you're watching a movie etc.

Very handy for sites that don't support changing video speed or have limited options.

Quick cookie manager - Allows you to delete all cookies on a page that you've visited. Very handy when "reject all" leaves you with like 20 cookies anyway.

Netflux - 1080p Netflix on Linux. Can be a little fiddly at times but it does work.

 
 

I never buy vodka but went to today and just out of curiosity checked where it's made. Well, it turns out it's made in the US in my (Irish) supermarket at least so yours may be the same.

I bought Finlandia instead.

 

I used to love the bench sub in the other place, went to post a picture to /c/bench and realised it didn't exist so I'm being the change I want to see in Lemmy.

Mine has a few that I can think of but I'm definitely forgetting some:

  • Snig: a secret stash. Usually of cash but it could be chocolate or whatever. Pretty sure this one is unique but I'd love to hear otherwise.
  • Sero: (seero) seriously. This one isn't unique.
  • James floody (flew-dy) ah-doody amen: Weird chant in the hope that something comes true.
  • edit: pinchies: little bit of food before it's ready. Usually meat but as I'm cooking pancakes I just gave some pinchies and it reminded me of this thread
 
 

I'll get it started. I just had Aldi noodles for the first time and they were pure shite.

So....Lidl is better for cheap noodles (the 5 pack ones are very decent at only 30c a pack in the 5 pack).

Aldi has a far better frozen section generally IMO.

 

It only appears occasionally. I have no alarms set, no timers, stopwatch etc. running.

Android phone. Searching got no joy.

Update: it was a scheduled message in signal. Didn't want to send my bestie memes too late at night. It does use the actual alarm icon though, weirdly.

Thanks everyone for your help!
