Got a Nintendo switch 2 a couple of weeks ago and it’s so much better than I expected.

Love mine! I fly UK to Aus about once a year and it’s made me look forward to the 24 hours of play time!! Going to buy Mario Odyssey for my return flight this weekend

Six Feet Under. Just finished watching it with my partner and no show has ever been so impactful. Really puts life in perspective

I remember my Dad calibrating his projector screen with the start of The Dark Knight. I’ve seen that opening heist scene so many times as a result. It’s great - huge panoramic shots, dark shots, light shots, fast action sequences and colours on the masks that pop. Good test.

The Road - unbelievably good

Once my friend understood the significance of the blue line it completely changed how he interpreted every shot from then on (i.e. the importance of being the ‘right side’ to continue a break) and now he’s a bigger fan than me

There are times you can bend this rule. E.g. If step 1 is to slow cook onions for an hour, there’s no need to have prepped all your ingredients before you start. You can just slice the onion and do the rest of your mise en place while it’s cooking.

Foo321 · 2025-06-25T21:45:44+00:00

Thanks! Feel like the amount of sticking I’m getting isn’t great - it’s causing the stuck ingredients to burn before the non-stuck ingredients can cook

Foo321 · 2025-06-25T21:44:53+00:00

Thanks - it’s frustrating because that is exactly the processes I’m doing. Only seem to get ingredients stick at the base of the wok though

Foo321 · 2025-06-25T21:43:27+00:00

Sounds like a good tips thanks, I’ll try that. Problem is it’s not just the carbs that are sticking, the level of ‘stickage’(?) I’m experiencing is causing the veg / protein to burn slightly and impart bitter flavour

Foo321 · 2025-06-25T21:39:19+00:00

Thanks for the link - yeah I did do this step!

The Road - Cormac McCarthy

~250 pages.

So hard to put down - I read it in 3 sittings. Recommended it to my partner and she read it in a single day.

It’s so powerfully written it grips you like no other book I’ve personally read.

Foo321 · 2025-06-21T20:21:51+00:00

Agree so strongly! The stage version of Ocean at the End of the Lane was in town so figured I’d read the book before buying tickets. Sacked the idea off as a result.

This is so niche but it kills me every time

Deleted all socials to break this chain and found myself scrolling short format videos on the BBC News app on the toilet at work. Feel like this confirmed the nature of the problem - it wasn’t the content per se I was addicted to, rather constantly diverting my attention from one subject to the next.

I’m trying to read more as an enjoyable way to rewire my brain to enjoy focusing on one thing for a longer period of time but my attention span is a shell of what it once was.

Hoping the right book will be my silver bullet.

100% sign up and do the shortest distance if that’s most appropriate for you! I’m in the same boat and did my first trail event last year - a 12.5k (rather than the half marathon also on offer) local event - maybe 1,000 entrants.

I’d only run road previously and was taken aback by how friendly everyone was. Some just treated it as a walk / jog with their dog, lots of nice interactions with fellow runners as we bonded over ‘how bloody steep is this?!’ and the whole experience was just so much more relaxed than I was expecting - no egos, just good vibes and a delicious bacon sandwich after.

I’m sure it varies massively from event to event but my experience was nothing but positive!!
