You beat me to it!

KP make amazing snacks.

I need to squirrel myself away for a weekend and get stuck in. I know I’ll love it because it’s the kind of game I enjoy - the entry point feels a bit higher than I’d expected though!

I’ve tried playing with the default tileset and it hurt my brain.

Does it get better?

We had the same thing in the UK with Argos and the giant book of dreams…

They’ve managed to remain a pretty good Amazon alternative for random gubbins and game stuff, and they now operate out of some larger supermarkets so you can pick stuff up while you’re doing your groceries.

I also remember hearing that surgeons who play videogames tend to perform better at their jobs too.

Hand eye co-ordination (especially when looking at a screen without direct feedback in your hands), stressful situations, long stints of focus…

There’s lots of benefits to gaming!

You’re thinking of Aung San Suu Kyi.

She follows the trend of Nobel Peace Prize winners being unbelievably hypocritical; to pull a quote from foreign diplomat to Myanmar:

Her government has been as enthusiastic about jailing journalists and government critics as the military government that preceded hers

I was being facetious

I had a .world account but I can’t type in my normal accent there so I moved to my current one.

I don’t sound noble but I feel much happier.

I’ve moved from Boost to Thunder. It’s a great experience so far.

OPs alternative is law.

I’m not sure the ethics of their employment are of much concern.

Happy to help!

I got it from Droidify - an alternative frontend for F-Droid that comes with a bunch of common repositories added as standard. Ironfox is available!

Why does 2/3 of the protein vanish when you cook it?

You might be underestimating the amount of protein you’re getting. Urad dal has 25g of protein per 100g serving. Chickpeas are similar (19/20g per 100g serving). Red lentils are like, 10g per 100g serving. I “need” about 70g of protein; some days I’ll get that other days not so much but the average is probably about right.

I don’t track macros though.

I eat vegetarian and it’s never been an issue, though to be fair in western diets we’re generally over-proteined.

Is it possible to use a number different to the one on the device you use? Seems like a simple workaround to use a throwaway SIM to set up, and then use it with that number moving forwards.

I couldn’t swim until I was maybe 10 or 11 and it was awful. Thankfully my parents moved and my school mandated lessons - but I wasn’t confident until maybe my late teens/early twenties?

I think kids should learn as early as possible and it makes me a bit sad that my niece and nephew haven’t learned yet (and are unlikely to as their schools don’t teach them and my sibling doesn’t seem interested in getting them lessons or teaching them). We live on an island with a lot of water inland - it’s more important than other stuff like riding a bike!

Wacky

Is that because he’s Austrian and speaks - from what I can gather - the German equivalent of redneck English?

I used it decades ago (using the CLI installer for a Sid install I eventually fucked up beyond repair) and it was okay for a slightly tech savvy teenager, even then.

I suspect a lot of these issues are down to hardware compatibility more than anything else.
