If you live somewhere with consumer rights, by law you can return it no questions asked within 14 days of receipt (actual length of time may vary, UK is 14 days)

The UK has building societies which sound like what you’re describing

This sort of thing works for me, I think the key is instead of trying to quiet your mind, if you instead keep it busy with something mundane or relaxing until it just switches off. Sometimes I pick numbers and do multiplication in my head, and eventually I’m close enough to falling asleep that I forget the two numbers I’m multiplying and at that point I stop and fall asleep within minutes.

But alcohol is a heavily commercialised drug…

You can do a wash cycle, check it and then do a dry cycle if you’re paranoid about it. Personally I just chuck stuff in mine on a combined wash and dry and it comes out clean and perfectly dry. The first unit I bought was shit and barely ever dried anything properly but I sent it back and got a Samsung instead and it’s been flawless.

It’s because it’s come from Mastodon with hashtag spam

Play the Outer Wilds DLC, if you loved the base game, you will like the DLC too

It comes with the DLC

Angering the USB-IF

It doesn’t trigger the horn on UK cars, which I definitely appreciate. Although it was amusing to watch my partner jump every time I locked our hire car in the USA, the noise pollution is unnecessary.

Are a really easy way to accidentally give yourself heart palpitations and be awake for the next 36 hours?

Seriously those things are really good and before you know it the packet is empty and you are afraid for your life.

The UK being that high makes me feel very sorry for everyone in the countries ranked lower

PC in early 2024 for anyone wondering

I have a Vodafone router, and disabling the firewall is neither required or a sensible thing to do

9.30, which works well for me because I’m not awake enough/caffeinated enough before that to be able to be coherent or have much idea what I am doing that day. Although often I don’t really see the point in them when our team is so fragmented and working on loads of different projects.

I have prime until they bring in ads, and I’m using Apple TV+ but I have near enough a year of free trials through a credit card, buying an LG TV and my phone network provider. I use my cousin’s Disney+, my partner pays for crunchy roll but I don’t know how much that gets used.

Apple TV+ is definitely worth it, even paying the subscription. I use Amazon enough that the free delivery is sort of worth it, but I can usually get things cheaper elsewhere now.

I use Plex and sail the seven seas for everything I currently can’t get on one of the services available to me, and I expect to go more this way in future as streaming services start taking the piss

Canadians are getting robbed. Roaming for me, if I travelled to Canada from the UK, would be £15 a month added to my plan, and I have one of the more expensive providers (EE). That’s with the same limits so like 200GB data.
