Misaligned jump off a cliff in my explorer. Can't drive it out, guess I'll be falling!

 

From a live Renault app, I'm always amazed the car companies' apps are so bad, it's not like they're short of a bob or two to spend on getting it right.

 

I know this community is not strongly in use but... I find the linked letter to be helpful to me when times out in the world get difficult. It's odd, because the message is quite religious and I'm staunchly agnostic.

Yet, I urge you, ask you, gentle you, to please not spend your spirit dry by bewailing these difficult times. Especially do not lose hope.

It always works for me, hopefully it might work for someone else out there.

It's a real shame Australia doesn't have any empty, sunny places that they could install massive solar farms.

Given that we're talking about streets where people generally walk down the middle of the road at all times of day and look askance at anyone driving there, I think pedestrianisation is a great idea

Well that was fascinating, thank you

[–] TIN@feddit.uk 2 points 3 weeks ago

Not, unfortunately

Thanks, I'm just starting out so playing with different ways of efficient manufacture, good to learn from the experts!

Those are the ones! It's quite a distinctive word so must have stuck in my head!

[–] TIN@feddit.uk 2 points 3 weeks ago

Amazing, thank you for that. There's so much that's fascinating in linguistics!

Do you bring all raw materials to the smeltery, or do you have a smeltery per material type?

Of course German has a word for it! I did some bee research a long while back and we used to stick a tiny bit of numbered card on bees to track them. That has a German word as well, something like opalithplatchen.

What kind of language has a separate word for a tiny bit of numbered card that you stick on a bee?

It's one of the many ways I know that as a species we're fucked

My old neighbour had one of those kebab shop bug zapper lights which she hung outside and ran all day and all night. I couldn't sit out because the sound of insects being disassembled was too much for me to cope with.

Okay so I totally failed to put the dough in the fridge overnight, these might not quite be as intended but they're okay!

 

How low on avocado do you need to be to not be allowed to say that it's guac? 3.5% will certainly do it.

 

I'm not 5G enabled yet so theoretically 4G+ should be my fastest connection speed. However, on O2 I find that it's effectively the same as having no connection at all, and often end up shifting down to 3G just to get some connection.

This can't be right, I feel like I've forgotten a setting or something! Has anyone managed to figure it out, or maybe first does anyone else have the same issue?

 

Having trouble phrasing this, so in case it's not clear I'm not looking for casual misogyny thanks

Having a debate with a friend about whether men shopping with women can be fun and I'm wondering how coloured my view of this is by me and my ex.

I'd love to hear what makes a great shopping experience for you with your friends or significant others!

 

I was driving round the M25 and there was an accident in front of me, I could still get round so I slowed down, put hazards on but drove past and carried on my way.

What's the actual protocol in those situations? I could see all the airbags were deployed, there's nothing I could do for the people inside and for sure getting out on a motorway is a bad idea.

But I feel like I should have done something different. Can anyone with knowledge enlighten me?

My son asked me if I would play league of legends with him, so tried it for the first time. So much going on!

Firstly, how does anyone zero in on what hero they want to play, there are so many of them! I feel like it would take a year just to play enough to decide.

Secondly, the purchase UI seems to have been designed to ensure that a new player can never understand it. I'm sure like all things it becomes clear over time but jeez, did a professional team really work on that thing?

Anyway, 2 defeats from 2 games so far, I write to you from the lobby waiting for the third!

 
 

Love this one, it all fits so well together!

 

Don't tell me that's going to parse in a CLI
