Yeah sounds awesome to me too tbh. My mood brightens whenever I see snow and I don’t find that low sunlight levels affect me at all.

However apparently between 1-10% of people are affected by seaonal affective disorder so those people may want to avoid Finland during the winter months

How could it be a bad thing?

Phone: great for mindlessly scrolling or the odd comment.

Laptop: for actually getting anything done.

I’d use a desktop but sometimes I have to work from cafes or something so I prefer just using a laptop all the time rather than two machines

I’ve had a mac for years and still haven’t had any need for an iCloud account. It’s optional

What’s that in football fields?

I’ve recently gotten a couple (absolutely tech illiterate) friends and family to move to Linux. It’s finally there - it’s much easier to use than windows now.

And if you don’t want to keep shelling out for new computers every few years, doubly so - Linux works fine on decade+ old hardware (and you can keep upgrading practically indefinitely to stay within security windows, so you barely ever need to actually buy new hardware)

Why cut just when bovine fren join game

Me too. And I live in NZ where there’s bloody beaches everywhere. Can’t move for beaches

Is it really called 2% milk? That seems inverted tbh since it’s obviously 98% milk and 2% fat. Here (NZ) we call it something like “trim” or “skim” or “98% fat free”

In Dune II (1992) the units move slower when they’re off screen. This is useful because you can only select one unit at a time to give orders, so if you want to send an army into the enemy base you send them one at a time. But then you can carefully position your camera to allow the units at the rear to catch up with those in the lead so your whole army arrives at once and overwhelms the enemy.

It’s hard to balance on a bike at 5km/h so that rule alone rules out bicycles from riding on a footpath, which is fine IMO

Putting mold on infections? Wait what?

NZ too. They can when they get out though unlike US

I had to help my sister keep her 8 year old Mac going or buy a new secondhand (cheap) machine. With the options out there and with the state of Windows, I didn’t even consider it.

She’s ended up with her same 8 year old Mac with Ubuntu 24.04, and I’ve been really impressed with how it’s actually great for non-technical users these days! And works really well on old hardware.

This should give her another few years of life out of the thing without worrying about software support.

Well yeah. I turned that shit off on day one of getting my phone. It doesn’t even make you faster at typing? What’s the point in having it enabled?

Now when I make typos at least it was me that made the typo

I like to hold the banana upright facing away from me, and then I sneak up behind it and use a really sharp knife to sever the jugular part way through before I rip its head backward, peeling the skin all the way down its spine.

It’s immensely satisfying, especially the crisp clear sound the knife makes as it cuts off the life force

I’m not from US but this looks like a normal roach to me.

I don’t have space for a desktop computer - and I have a standalone house, it’s not like I’m in some tiny apartment, so I’m guessing this isn’t too unusual? I pull out the laptop when I want to play games.

It helps that I don’t play AAA games and a decent spec laptop plays what I want just fine
