Nah, we love those creamy liqueurs. We were never a big alcohol household, i dont think i ever saw them drink anything neat.

Also uk but it was baileys and a mince pie as neither of my parents liked sherry

Intolerable

Probably half life 2

Ashens. Released a video the other day about microwavable burgers that I couldn’t immediately tell whether it was brand new or 10 years old.

I used to live with a system more like that. There was a food waste bin, a glass recycling caddy thing and some other stuff. I’d love to know if the more complicated categorisations results in more or fewer people recycling and sorting things correctly vs the all in one bin approach. Not having a provided wheelie bin is utterly wild to me though.

My council (in the UK the rules vary between coincils) just has two bins. We have a black lidded wheelie bin for general household rubbish that is collected every week and a red lidded bin for most recycleables (glass, plastic, paper cardboard) collected every two weeks but it has restrictions on things like plastic film. If you are found to break the rules (open lids, wrong items in bin) they may refuse collection and leave a note saying why it won’t be collected. For example the black lidded general waste bin stipulates that all your rubbish must be inside refuse sacks, if you just have loose rubbish they won’t collect it.

You just make sure the bin is accessible/near the road on collection day and it gets picked up. Bins get lifted and tipped into the bin lorry then they put the bins back.

You can also leave a plastic bag on the floor next to the bin for disposal of ‘small electricals’ (chargers, dead electronics etc.).

Bins are provided by the council and collection is paid by your council tax. Both bins are 140 litres but you can ask for a 240l if you have a bigger family producing more waste.

You can pay an extra charge (I think about £80 per year) for a ‘green bin’ and associated collection which is for disposal of plant waste (i.e. if you have a decent sized garden and maintain it).

And finally if you have too much rubbish or items that can’t be easily disposed of (oil, large electronic items, diy waste) you can fill your car and take it to the local ‘tip’ (normally named something like waste management centres etc.) where you can get rid of it all.

Dandelion and Burdock, the Fentiman’s one is particularly good.

At the very least for the next few years, the US.

Otherwise Honduras, not that I didnt like my visit there but I can’t say I have a particularly compelling reason to return.

Hepatitis B. Microbiology and virology in particular but Hepatitis B was a really significant interest of mine.

Blahaj.zone doesn’t hate ‘lefties’? It doesn’t tolerate tankies but is very much on the lib-left side of things for the most part.

.ml has a bit of nuance not mentioned. Before the reddit exodus it was pretty much the only active instance and during the exodus it was still one of, if not the largest, before .world appeared. So a lot of communities and people registered to .ml, many have migrated away but plenty are still there that are ‘general’ users with no ideological alignment. It is also the instance made and run by the main lemmy devs.

And piefed really shouldn’t be considered a new walled area, it interacts with the established lemmy instances its just different software from different devs. Same to be said of kbin/mbin which seems to be far less prevalent than it was.

I agree if we were talking about the stuff in a more serious manner but in this case it fits perfectly as a shower thought because its clear that we are talking about ‘technically’. Birds are inarguably dinosaurs via phylogeny hence it is funny that dino nuggets are dinosaurs in two ways.

I can’t work out if you disagree that birds are dinosaurs or if you think a showerthought needs to have a deeper point to it. Or both.

Negative, I am a meat popsicle

Its so depressing, swap just a few nouns around and it reads exactly like an article about the UK

Its more often rhinoviruses rather than coronaviruses or other families

We still use it in our stuff, I guess its easier for the corporate world to hire DBAs with official qualifications and have the option of oracle support when something goes tits up.

I played trumpet as a child but desparately craved to learn something else as my musical tastes didn’t really match it - its hard to be interested in playing an instrument when you don’t really like the music you are learning.

Later in life I bought an emotional support bass but I never really found the time or motivation to learn anything more complex than the famous riff from The Chain.

Not personally but my old manager certainly did. I really wish I had reported to HR but I was still new, early in my career and the company wasn’t very corporate - HR was just a lady who was an early hire without any real credentials.

He (my manager) would regularly hand CVs around the team to see if they were a good fit skill wise but would also search for (and print off!) any facebook photos he could find that showed skin. He almost exclusively looked for and hired women. He later got sacked for bullying and generally being very inappropriate.

Depends on the phone. I hated the one on my oneplus 3 so i needed nova but the one on my current phone has the basic customisation options i was using nova for.
