Hmm, this dataset is pretty poor. There are at least 3 pubs near me that are missing.

Worth noting that after playing an incredibly irritatingly slow game of chess, Noctie will ask for 14 Euros a month to carry on playing!

Corvids have been known to investigate deaths, truly fascinating creatures! https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S00033...

There’s been a bug when ordering an Uber in my (quite small, circa 20k pop) town recently in that they think our annual festival (which is in July) is on now and try to force a stu…

I would love refurbished one of these in my back garden, unfortunately they weigh far far too much to lift into my limited-access back garden and I’m not sure it’d have the same im…

I have friends who have been those mercenaries, and I think your comment underplays it a bit… they are all ex-SBS and not somebody I’d want to fuck with!

As a Welshman, I’d say North/South Walian are more common among the populace!

I took a similar path, but with an additional final step of moving to film and doing the development, scanning, and editing myself. Definitely more work per photo, but each photo t…

Jump across borders of non-cooperative nations, too. Say using boxes in Iran and USA, or India and Pakistan.

In the UK “registrar’s ink” is used for marriage certificates, I believe it is supposed to be good for many hundreds of years.

Interesting read, and nicely follows last week’s Lunchbox Envy where “Oranges” was the subject. A great podcast if you like food and fun facts. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0…

My British perspective: I don’t want advertisers free to lie as much as they want. I’ve had ads taken off the TV for being clearly misleading (anyone can raise a complaint to the A…

Feels more like you don’t understand the concept of the tragedy of the commons. EDIT: Sorry, I’ve had a shitty day and that wasn’t a helpful comment at all. I should’ve said that a…

All of my “characteristics” (a setting I don’t think I’ve seen before) are set to default and my custom instructions are as follows… —— Always assume British English when relevant.…

Wow, haha. I tried this with gpt5.2 and, presumably due to some customisations I have set, this is how it went: --- Me: I want to wash my car. My car is currently at home. The car …

Allow me to shamelessly plug my blog, I have been (very slowly!) re-visiting microcorruption and writing up the solutions in a tutorial-esque fashion. https://lovesexsecretgod.com

I really don’t understand silent mode on the iPhone (and I’ve used iPhones since the OG!) but your app is one of those that ignores it. Either obeying silent mode or having an opti…

You’re right, some random guy commenting on HN is a much better source.

The latter one is a rendering issue I think, the right hand side of Processor is being used as an input from Config and an output to Log but the arrows overlap and become ambiguous…

Um… might want to double check your brain there!

Worth mentioning NextDNS and ControlD under this! I migrated from the former to the latter about six months ago, but both are a solid choice.

I’ve been browsing the archive since I left that comment, they really were the good old days weren’t they. IRC was my introduction to geekdom, and I don’t think it would be unreaso…

I don’t think there is a search function, I got the exact wording from a web search (I think “bash Java anal”, arguably a dangerous search!) and then after submitting I wondered if…
