I received 25% raise this year. Sure, it took 3 attempts but it’s also backpaid.

So I bought new car and Lego.

My solice is the used car value doesn’t go back to him and I contribute to these cars being cheaper.

I wish other used EVs were anywhere close to teslas… I ended up buying Model 3 as everything else fell flat on its face. The worst one was the “Mustang”. There sadly is no alternative that’s feasible to me. I took a loan for 15k and got 2021 plate model 3 with okay miles. Nothing else was anywhere near it and the thing I has been stellar. And trust me, I have tried A LOT of EVs as my diesel costs pay for my tesla. It’s as close to " free" for my case as I can get.

Really? This sounded promising to anyone?

I know my beloved flip 4 will eventually develop a fault. I had it a month before the initial release. I love it and I don’t like the new design of bigger front screen. So one day I’ll be forced to upgrade.

The entire point of the mini screen is to minimise the contact with the phone, not to just replace it on a half screen.

I’ve donated once to a small time streamer as he spent years translating mods from Russian and hosting them. He’s funny and I felt like I owed him some beer as I spent thousands of hours playing his translated mods which I otherwise wouldn’t have been able to.

I want to be worth remembering. That’s all. If I’m remembered, it means I’ve done something impactful. Hopefully it’s a positive.

Honestly, it is a great date place! I took my now wife to one many years ago. It was great as it gives you topics to talk about when you first start getting to know each other past “how was work/school/weekend?” Type of questions. Same with movies. Quality time where the surroundings will do a lot of the heavy lifting. 2h of not talking and then you discuss the movie. You spend an hour of having to use your social battery on a 3h of together time.

How does it com0are to the Vatican Museum?

Not always true? Hell, I have a credit card for 8 years and have-gotten big £ back. I pay £2 for it a month, but if I have two direct debits bank refunds it.

It literally is free money as long as you pay it off each month.

It boggles my mind how people fail to see it. If you’re bad in money? It ain’t for you. Interest can mount up but it doesn’t take that much self control to not blow 5k when you’re only taking 3k home.

How does the last one work?

Food theory has fallen off a cliff. It’s garbage after garbage now.

Few memes channels get some and comments are just vile.

It’s not as stupid as it seems, pouring clean water over your eyes can help. Normally you’d do it after swimming in ocean/sea… But I don’t know what they add to swimming pools.

As someone who did archery at national level… Your comment is triggering my need to point out how difficult and different “longbows” are.

I couldn’t handle it after years of playing. The term longbow in archery is as calling everything AR15.

Word of mouth is how you find such businesses or local boards people advertising their services. That’s 90% of it or google search taking me to their FB page.

But yeah, if it means I can support local businesses? It’s a price worth paying by having a fb account with no activity or info.

At the end of the day, i care about the local guy running butchers out of a truck going to spots when they have meat more than giving money to tesco who under cuts farmers. Fb allows people to have automaty. While it’s not black and white. I do admit it’s way more on the dark side.

I mean I do. But there are two businesses I use twice a month where it is straight up impossible to interact with. A small business won’t see the investment into a website.

And no. There are no alternative businesses I could deal with in +80 mile range.

Could one live without fb? Yeah obviously. But it’s not all redundant with alternatives.

There are local businesses who ONLY use Facebook. No website, no nothing. Not even google maps location.

Sucks. I have a generic blank FB with my initials and that’s it.

I know it’s a hard concept… But people can be nice and genuinely happy for them?

Your basement is likely insufferable too.
