I love the rain and cloudiness! It's peaceful (flash flooding aside, that can suck depending on where you live)

It depends really. If I lived somewhere where natural disasters were a common occurrence then I probably would. Luckily I live in the UK which, while not great in other ways, has a temperate climate. That said, if the south gets too much warmer then I am tempted to move to Scotland. I don't cope well in temperatures above 19 Celsius. It would be one of several reasons though, not the overriding factor.

We have social housing in the UK which is rent capped and it gives people an element of stability. It can work well

As far as I'm concerned I'm not a grown up until I have a washing machine and dishwasher of my own.

This is why I'm flying to Edinburgh soon rather than taking the train (like I would prefer to). So much cheaper

How would you react if someone prints Jesus Christ, hanging on the cross with bloody hands and feet onto your favourite beer. With a face of pure agony and some letters addressing charity?

That sounds quite metal tbh for beer. I would give it a go.

Food and drink are incredibly political in general, this is just one aspect of it.

That seems so unnecessary. Why do they want to interfere with screen density??

 

Meta will not launch its new Twitter rival, Threads, in Ireland or the EU for the foreseeable future. It is being released in the US and the UK on Thursday of this week as an alternative to Twitter.

That was just a typo. Beehaw has advertised itself as being a largely positive, safe online space. People who sign up for it would generally be considered to want that same ethos.

It's not ideal at the moment but until the moderation tools improve it's the best way forward if they want to stick to their ethos. I enjoy Beehaw and the admin do seem like they want to refererate when it's possible to.

I'm on both Beehaw and Lemmy.world so I between the two I can interact with everything I would want to see.

I know you can use glass jars but they're something I would have to get anyway and ideally I would want something portable so I can take it to work.

 

In the UK we're currently experiencing the hell that is summer (I can't cope in temperatures above 20C, mock if you wish) so wanting to get more into cold brew.

Anyone got any recommendations on the best piece of kit to do it?

 

TV’s streaming model is broken. It’s also not going away. For Hollywood, figuring that out will be a horror show.

I was going to say that I wish there was a decentralised way of sending messages... And then I remembered text messaging is a thing.

Incredible how quickly these things become embedded in everyday life
