Looking forward to seeing them :)

Oh fantastic! Looking forward to those!

Welcome! Yeah I’m not sure how I came across it in the other place but it just brought a little joy to my life. I do love a good bench.

You should be able to pick up an old style timer plug for under 10 euro / USD in your hardware store.

They’re a tiny bit fiddly to set up but given how power hungry those things are you’ll be saving money in no time.

We have one around here somewhere. I’ll see if I can dig you out a picture.

Internet was faster…

Is it a subscription though? Investors like that

2MB/s / 16Mbps is enough for 4K HEVC video and audio. In theory you could encode a full movie with enough starlings.

Heads up if you’re a microwave popcorn person - they’re apparently choc full of microplastics. :( Think it was a recent Veritasium video I learned that in and stopped buying them.

That video was amazing! Super work tbh.

Yeah, all fair points. I do love the convenience of using my phone to pay too in fairness.

This may seem like a silly solution but maybe pop your debit card inside your phone case. It should bop through it.

I am not surprised in the slightest. I mean if you have a bunch of smart, highly motivated people it sounds like keeping the crazy man at arms length is the kind of thing they’d organise very effectively.

NASA is clearly capable of things given the right circumstances and budget.

Absolutely agree with this but there is no denying the innovation levels at spacex are higher (I’m not saying this is down to musk specifically. The man is a horror story of a human).

We were all in total awe when seeing booster stages land themselves successfully for the first time. It was such a giant leap forward and to the best of my knowledge no government funded space agency was even considering it before spacex.

Done. Good luck.

It’s a fair question. Some of it is directly Europe related, like France recently announcing that it was on a path to recognise Palestine, or the Irish Taoiseach (prime minister) saying that what was happening there was a war crime.

If you think it doesn’t impact Europe or European politics I think maybe you need to peek through the hand you have over your face in that emoji. Various countries have recognised Palestine, had their Israeli diplomats removed etc.

Very first thought was “surely that’s treason”.

I must look up the legal definition.

There are two Lidl beans. The extra 10p for the ring pull one gets you more than just the convenience. :) Worth trying both though.

Yaaarrrrns.

Yeah that makes a lot of sense in fairness.

I’m not sure if I’m alone in this but I have a terrible aversion to transcoding. I know the loss of quality is probably not that huge (depending on the original codec) but I just can’t bring myself to get past it.

As a result I have a tiny arm based box with a 2tb SSD and I’m happy out.
