ReCursing

Well there’s a park with some ruins from the Roman occupation, which founded this settlement in 79AD. If you count them, that’s 1945 years… if not, apparently there are some churches between 800 and 900 years old that still contains some parts of the original Norman construction, although they have been altered since

President of Senegal. not being Senegalese, nor having ever been to Senegal, I doubt I would be eligible no matter how much they offered to pay me

No, they’re not. That was kind of my point

Nickelback. I mean they’re not good but they’re not really bad either, just a complete nonevent. They don’t deserve the hate they get, they don’t really deserve anything

There is, of course, a relevant xkcd - it’s yesterday’s https://xkcd.com/2898/

Oh I know it’s not great, but I don’t pretend to be vegan. It is definitely better than battery though

Eggs I always buy free-range because yeah it makes a difference to taste (and is so much kinder to the chickens), but in the UK butter is butter. I know in the US you have butter that’s practically white but here’s it’s all yellow and tasty. Flour every brand has plain, self raising and bread flour and those categories are pretty similar across brands.

Milk, the filtered stuff (Cravendale or similar) is nicer but not much nicer so it’s not worth the upgrade IMO

For this use, maybe add a liner then

I already donate a fiver monthly to a few charities I like (Amnesty International, Liberty, and Wikipedia), I might add KDE to that list once my currently financial woes are sorted (along with Citizens Advice who are helping me through them)

One of each, please! I’m pan

Andor was a garbage show, and The Batman (Robert Pattison) was a garbage film. Both are lauded and deserve less than none of the praise they get

It has a great story, you’re in for a ride!

I also realised that the Shadowrun games (Returns, Dragonfall, and Hong Kong) might scratch that itch - the setting is a cyberpunk/fantasy mashup, and the game play is similar isometric point and click until you get into combat when it becomes isometric turn based tactical. I was recommended to start with Dragonfall

I’m currently playing through Shadowrun : Hong Kong and really enjoying it. I’m not sure why I bounced off the first time, I played and enjoyed Shadowrun: Dragonfall and Shadowrun Returns but Hong Kong just did not click with me the first two times I tried

If you liked the first two, have you tried Planescape Torment? Basically the same engine

ebooks. I read better with a back light, I have found, and generally read with light text on a dark background, both of which my tablet makes really easy

The ancient Greeks had simple steam engines. They were children’s toys because slaves were cheaper

Yes. The idea that he wasn’t real is frankly laughable. We know where he lived, we know who his wife was and what she was left in his will (their second best bed!), he met the queen for crap’s sake!

@AnimalsInHats (or !AnimalsInHats for our lemmy siblings). I would love to see someone other than me posting there!

I’m not really that keen on computer RPGs like Mass Effect or Dragon Age, but did rather like Shadowrun: Dragonfall. Am I likely to like much in this bundle?
