  • I’m about to switch from iPhone to a Pixel 9 so I can put CalyxOS on it. Used iPhones since a 3GS in 2009, but the time has come.

  • I think most of the ones I usually mention in threads like this have been covered, but a glance through hasn’t shown me

    The Blindboy Podcast

    I’ll admit that this one may take a minute to really get, but once it locks in you’ll love it forever.

    It’s basically just an Irish author, comedian, and former rapper telling stories, talking about mental health (he also has a masters in psychology), and interviewing people. One week he’ll be interviewing a couple of lads about insects, the next he has Cillian Murphy on. Last week was an hour about how he ended up in an office canteen covered in black hair dye, holding a bag of lemons.

    It’s a wonderful podcast hug every week, and I can’t recommend it enough.

  • I put Sequoia on my 2011 MBP, but it felt like a step too far for the poor old gal. So I wiped the drive and put Mint on it. Runs nice. My 2014 Mini server is running Mint too.

  • Asahi’s pretty decent now, so far as I’m concerned. They’ve still not cracked having more than one display, but otherwise I can’t think of anything I’ve not been able to do with it.

  • This meme makes no sense because SMB93 is a masterpiece.

  • Blocked and reported for using naughty words.

  • I’m pretty 1337, but can’t see shit without my glasses.

  • I’m enjoying this from my £28 a month 100Gb 5G contract that includes the cost of my iPhone.

    (and which is about to drop to £10 a month because I’ve paid off the phone)

  • Nah, Vine was top shit.

  • As a fat lad, I’d get maybe a year out of my trousers. But I’d probably get 20 years out of my t-shirts. I just had a clear out last weekend, and finally threw away a bunch of old t’s I don’t wear anymore, some of which were pushing 15 years old.

  • I'm not from NYC, or even the US, but unless I'm mistaken, if you can afford to store a car there in order to be able to drive around, then you can almost certainly afford to pay a congestion charge.

    London has had a CC for a number of years now, and it isn't a problem at all. The overwhelming majority of people who travel into the areas affected by it just take public transport. Hell, I lived up there for several years and despite owning a car I never once had to pay to drive in the charge zone.

  • “Can I offer you some salsa in this trying time?”

  • It’s a small firm, so I know our HR manager pretty well. But yeah.

  • Nah, he knows me well enough to know what I’m about. And ultimately he doesn’t really care whether I do it or not, but he’s an ex-army man of a certain age, and me wearing nail polish doesn’t jive with his view of what’s ’normal’.

  • Wore nail polish at work this week, because I’m a bloke in his 40s who works in an office so fuck it, why not.

    Our HR manager - a man in his 50s who fairly recently sent out an email reminding us to talk about our feelings to help our mental health - asked me (half jokingly) if I was “going through some life changes”

    I will be when I find a better company to work for.

  • Bravo, OP, bravo.

  • My mother in law smokes, so a visit to her house always results in throwing whatever clothes we’ve taken directly into the washing machine when we get home.

    Worse though, is that it takes a few days for the smell to leave my CPAP machine. I put a new filter in, but it still somehow lingers.
