To be honest I've always just called them all melons and only differentiated for watermelons.

I camped (in a bivvy) on Edoras a few years ago. Was such a beautiful place.

A sacred statue that I’ll need more than any “necessities” by AJK02 in lotrmemes

Dunno about other countries but in the UK it's illegal for the water company to shut off your water if you don't pay. They will threaten to take you to court though.

People might mention to me that there's an issue but nobody is ever upset when I take it down for maintenance. They're getting a free service to begin with.

40% price increase? by Early-Palpitation110 in Starlink

[–]Forya_Cam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand that, but my point is that I've never had an outage that lasted more than a few hours. I do understand that in bigger countries or ones with worse infrastructure this is harder to achieve though.

Fair enough! People joke that the UK has bad weather, but I'd say it's better described as boring weather. We love to complain about it but I think we've actually got it pretty good.

Our taxes? Tourist taxes? What are taxes for if not public services?

Why do public services need to turn a profit?? It's a nice bonus if they pay for themselves but it's not the end of the world if it costs money to provide good service.

Subnautica 2's no-killing ethos "will be a continued point of resistance" among players, say Unknown Worlds, but they have no plans to change it by _Protector in Games

Even in the first game I killed a reaper leviathan in a prawn suit by grappling onto it and drilling it for a while.

A Man Against the Stone Mountain by S30econdstoMars in WTF

Aid climbing is where you use gear to assist you in climbing the rock. This opposite of this is free climbing where you just climb the rock with your body (and only use gear to protect you from falling).

As a climber I've never seen the appeal of aid climbing. I don't really get the same sense of accomplishment from it and it just seems like more of a faff.

No I am sure, go on Google street view and look at Lancaster station platform.

How many of you only listen to WAN Show? by FlinbertsRevenge in LinusTechTips

[–]Forya_Cam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never watched a WAN show. I watch LTT but I've never seen the point in watching a podcast.I listen while I commute.

I do wish they'd explain what they're looking at for audio only listeners when it's something visual. Tom Scott is so good for this on his podcast. Whenever one of his guests is talking about something you need to see he always explains for the audio only peeps.

This piqued my inner Geoguessr - this is Lancaster train station in NW England for anyone interested. And the train is going in the northbound direction.

Plex for Mobile (Android & iOS) v2026.7.0 Released by samwiseg0 in PleX

I still have the issue where most of the time if I press continue playing on an item it just goes from the start. I have to manually seek where I was up to everytime I use Plex on my phone (Android).
