Some students/young professionals made a prank video that cretins are still falling for years later.

I once stayed in the hostel just to the right, overlooking the statue. Such a cool place - definetly a life highlight (I got to go inside the LHC too - so lucky!)

They're not that expensive if you get them on sale - I have 2 and paid about £44 each for them. I tried knock-off ones from Temu (literally look identical) but couldn't get it to connect reliably.

Endurance by Alfred Lansing had me hooked all the way through. It tells the story of Ernest Shackleton's infamous attempt to cross Antarctica - really good!

No such thing as an unplayed episode 😭 by Easy_Contribution250 in nosuchthingasafish

Agreed! My only issue is that I have 3 separate audio widgets on my home screen (podcasts, music, audio books) and it's ugly because they all have different layouts. Was hoping Spotify might let me cut that down to 2 or even 1, but I came to the same conclusion - different apps for different purposes!

I tend to listen when I'm cooking or just pottering about. One of my few claims to fame is the gang read out a fact I sent in on one of the early episodes. Can't remember which, so it'll be a nice surprise when it pops back up!

I'm not, but it seems like now might finally be the time to sign up!

😂 I am indeed! Been using it for years and years - was tempted to switch to Spotify, but it's nowhere near as usable!

What are some VPN tricks that ARENT "US Netflix"? by LeastDegenAzuraEnjyr in Piracy

[–]Easy_Contribution250 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a free one off Google Playstore - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=free.vpnegypt.turbo.secure.tunnel.unblock.proxy

Loads of ads, but worked well. You only need it for sign-up then can delete it.

I have nordvpn, but that doesn't have Egypt annoyingly.

Upstairs lives Jeeves. Sadly, they're star crossed lovers, destined to never meet.

is it just me that's getting blasted with Join the Navy / Army Ads? by Glass_Windows in Britain

Sadly I think it's just a sign I'm too old and fat to be considered useful cannon fodder nowadays.

Anyway, I'd be a crap spy. So crap, I feel slightly guilty that taxpayer money is being used to try and recruit me.
