freamon

This show was a bit more kitchen-sinky than shows I'd normally watch - it reminded me a bit of stuff by Ken Loach or Mike Leigh, but I liked Adolescence a lot more than their films (even though I realise that their output is highly regarded).

I've seen a fair bit of negativity about it in these kinds of online spaces, so I imagine that I'm going against the grain by saying that I'd recommend it. It's best to know as little about it as possible beforehand though - not just about the story beats, but also don't buy into the hype about it and expect too much of it.

It's harder to detect, but wildly optimistic if they think that people are going to manually type URLs out. It feels like this latest manoeuvre is just to score a win in the arms race against them.

The point (to the extent there was one) was to move past any gender-role discussion and accept the picture at face value. Even when it's cold, I've found that it has to be really cold to not find too many layers on my legs to be oppressive after any amount of activity.

Seems like a lot of layers on part of the body that doesn't typically need it (skirt + tights + socks feels like a good way to overheat).

A journey on Northern Rail won't actually kill you, but it might make you consider if death would've been a more preferable experience.

I think that's what he meant, yeah (no existing DB migration scripts, etc). I don't know much about it, but I imagine it was probably always going to involve someone more familiar with Lemmy diving into the trenches.

Probably not. It's fairly rare for those sorts of API endpoints to be covered by mobile apps.

TV shows and movies are already compressed. If you try to compress something that's already compressed, it typically ends up bigger if anything.

He's mentioned this before, but I've never been able to find an actual PixelFed Group (it doesn't appear to be the same thing as what they call Collections). I'll have another look when pixelfed.social enables them this weekend (but I suspect parsing titles for the posts will be a nightmare).

Also, 'smithereen' is tagged but I'm not sure of its status (all I found was 1 private instance run by the dev, federated with 1 "explicitly-free-speech" Akkoma instance).

Clarkson has been trying to warn us for years, and we haven't been listening. He punched a producer when his dinner wasn't on time, to highlight the impending delays to food deliveries after Brexit. He left the BBC to work for Amazon, presenting a show that was a shadow of it's former self, to illustrate how billionaires diminish everything they touch.

He couldn't be clearer with his messaging, but the UK continues to ignore him.

I once did some office work for a tobacco company, where you were allowed to smoke at your desk. I don't smoke, but I had a few ciggies when I was there, because you realise that you've never really pointed at anything, until you've pointed at it with a cig in your hand. It's just a better way to point at stuff (I don't make the rules).

The microwave is a fundamental part of the Make Tea -> Forget About Tea -> Reheat Tea cycle.

Also, I have to put the bag in first, because otherwise I've no idea how much room I need to leave for it (which you'd think I'd be able to eyeball by now, but apparently not).
