Heck. That sounds… a bit too spicy for me.

For true contactless payment I do neither. I just hover my card / handset near the reader.

Is there something I should know about myself?

There’s still time…

I definitely believe you as one time, playing cricket in a common room at school, my friend hit a tennis ball and it smashed a break glass fire call point (mcp?) setting there fire alarm off.

I’m not sure about the life span of Olive oil but oils that are infused (e.g. garlic) can lead to botulism which is… uh, best avoided.

Damn. Shitposting has reached a new epoch.

I think it’s the other way around. UK passed an online “safety” act recently. Imgur don’t want the hassle of having to comply with it. I don’t blame them.

I remember someone screaming for a code down a phone line once and my mate started with the whole “G for gnome” , “P for pterodactyl” etc.

I laughed.

Much as a 12oz steak won’t weigh exactly twelve ounces when served to you after cooking them a 2x4 piece of wood was nominally that measurement prior to the kiln drying process.

Genuine question: re point 5. Is this some kind of joke? Political affiliation reflects one’s level of marksmanship? That’s an absolutely wild idea.

There was a king called “Cnut” - English/Danish name.

On a tangent I went to buy a secateurs (small plant chopper) off eBay - they wanted proof I was over eighteen; via a credit card. My eBay account is 16 years old. What the actual fuck?

There’s loads of internet radio stations with no commercials… and no dj’s neither. I just Shazam the tunes I really dig and go to eBay. Discovered a tonne of good acts this way.

The British army are/were looking into synthetic alternatives…

Have you met all of them?

I didn’t even notice I was 196-ing when I commented.

If Ada and the comm are explicitly anti-tankie I’d be neither surprised nor disappointed. Fair enough. I’m happy to browse .ml but really have no problem understanding why other corners of the fediverse / Lemmy avoid them. Not that all .ml uses are Tankies but, yeah. Blahajists have enough shit to deal with just by existing… best of luck to them all. 🫡

Lots of non-white Welsh people too.

Nice to see the word “tankie” used in its proper context; for once.

I like how you think. Why waste energy fighting your enemies when you can set them on themselves?

I swear one of my mates buys books as ornaments…
