Tried sun haven with my wife a couple of years ago and we dropped it almost instantly. We just came back to it and were really surprised at how good it is now. Worth a go if you enjoyed stardew!

Please get off the internet for a little while. It’s poisoning your brain.

I bet Tommy’s mother is very proud

I rarely see leeks, and when I do, they’re extremely expensive. Such a versatile vegetable that I wish more Americans knew about!

I have free Copilot through work and it is something I use very infrequently. It scarcely can do anything that I can’t do faster and more accurately.

I’m not a chip guy, but I bought a family sized bag of cheddar lays poppables for a long train ride a few months ago, and damn near ate the whole thing by myself. Haven’t bought another for fear of doing it again. Also the bag was like $4!

Banana milk! 1 ripe banana, 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 cup water, 1 tbsp maple syrup, a few drops of vanilla extract, blend and pour through a sieve over ice. So refreshing and very cheap.

Spotify is much better for music discovery / public playlists. I use Apple Music because it’s cheaper with the family plan, but if I’m wanting new music I will often open up Spotify just to view the playlists there and add the songs I like to my Apple Music playlists.

I feel like, depending on your age at the time, this is more on her than you. I’m an adult, and I don’t buy myself clothes that can’t handle the normal setting on my washer and dryer. I know it would be a case of when, not if, I’d forget. No way I’d trust a child to pay attention to something like that.

DTRH is one of my favorite channels, I love almost everything that he has made. I think my favorite of his (aside from WingsOfRedemption of course) was about Henry Darger, tragic and hopeful at the same time.

To expand on this from a different perspective, I’m not a game developer, I have an analytics background. A mobile game company popped up on my Indeed feed not too long ago, looking to fill what basically amounted to a position whose sole goal was to make their games as addictive as possible. I’m not saying that those kinds of roles don’t exist in more traditional game development, but it seems par for the course with mobile gaming.

I spotted Tom Hardy rushing through a London train a few years ago. I gave him a nod and he gave me the ‘don’t tell anyone I’m here’ look. My Mum was next to me and pretty upset she didn’t notice him, because she thinks he’s a pretty handsome guy!

A family friend’s pitbull chewed the ear off of someone’s toddler because it wanted to play with him. The best way to deal with a dangerous dog you don’t own is to ignore it and have the owners deal with it. The last thing you want is the dog liking you more than its owners, spending more time in your yard, then deciding to ‘play’ with the ducks.

I currently work at a business that uses a similar method to the probationary period, and I hate it. It’s definitely one of those things that sounds good on paper, but in practice I would love to move away from.

We use a proprietary system in my field, and train a couple of members of each department to be able to submit stuff into it (think Concur / NetSuite). It takes about three months to become proficient enough that I don’t have some form of issue with everything you submit. This means I can spend months training someone, just for them to be let go and the next person roll in.

Training people is expensive in both cash for the business and the time of those around them. Hiring correctly once would make my life a lot easier.

Please don’t, there are enough paranoid nutjobs on Lemmy as it is
