Heck. That sounds… a bit too spicy for me.

For true contactless payment I do neither. I just hover my card / handset near the reader.

Is there something I should know about myself?

There’s still time…

Damn, ain’t seen your name for a while.

I definitely believe you as one time, playing cricket in a common room at school, my friend hit a tennis ball and it smashed a break glass fire call point (mcp?) setting there fire alarm off.

I’m not sure about the life span of Olive oil but oils that are infused (e.g. garlic) can lead to botulism which is… uh, best avoided.

I think it’s the other way around. UK passed an online “safety” act recently. Imgur don’t want the hassle of having to comply with it. I don’t blame them.

On a tangent I went to buy a secateurs (small plant chopper) off eBay - they wanted proof I was over eighteen; via a credit card. My eBay account is 16 years old. What the actual fuck?

There’s loads of internet radio stations with no commercials… and no dj’s neither. I just Shazam the tunes I really dig and go to eBay. Discovered a tonne of good acts this way.

The British army are/were looking into synthetic alternatives…

Have you met all of them?

I didn’t even notice I was 196-ing when I commented.

If Ada and the comm are explicitly anti-tankie I’d be neither surprised nor disappointed. Fair enough. I’m happy to browse .ml but really have no problem understanding why other corners of the fediverse / Lemmy avoid them. Not that all .ml uses are Tankies but, yeah. Blahajists have enough shit to deal with just by existing… best of luck to them all. 🫡

Nice to see the word “tankie” used in its proper context; for once.

I swear one of my mates buys books as ornaments…

I think this is more of a geographic problem than a fashion problem.

Believe in yourself - if nothing else.

I never knew that. I thought it went from beagle to seagull and then on to eagle…

Great TV series.

Ignore what randos on the web say - the opinions of only two people matter. You and her. Good luck; however it works out.

More terrifying even then if they were competent?
