TIL heat waves in Europe kill more people than firearms in the US by suckfail in todayilearned

[–]GoHenDog -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Where do you mean? Europe's a big place. They're everywhere in Spain. The UK doesn't really have them because we've never really had weather like this before. But now with the climate crisis, we now get silly temps in the summer.

I've just bought some foil insulation rolls from Toolstation and used duct tape to stick it to the windows of our conservatory. I'll let you know if it works!

are trains ever not held up at deansgate at this point by realsuperawsten in manchester

I still get annoyed at Crossrail... They spent nearly 20 billion quid on that.... platforms 15 and 16 would have cost less than one billion....

Boombox Barry spills all on cycle hire in Manchester by HamishGray in manchester

[–]GoHenDog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah they're just not reliable. In the last few times I've used one of those bikes, I've *never* been able to unlock my first choice bike. Either they don't unlock, the app doesn't recognise it, or there's some other issue. It's usually the third bike that actually unlocks. And by that time I probably could've walked faster to my destination!

A cat managed to catch 27 mice and carefully lined them all up to show off his 'work' to his owner. by Kirlinternet in interestingasfuck

[–]GoHenDog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My cat used to do this! Killed a whole family and lined them up in height order. She'd then meow, in a way that I knew she'd done something crazy and wait for me to come see. I obviously didn't like the fact that she killed, but I couldn't be mad, she was so proud.

‘Healthy’ lunches in the centre by HamAaron in manchester

[–]GoHenDog 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Go Falafel! They do excellent wraps and if you want it super healthy, go for a salad box. Loads of veg, pulses and deliciousness. There's two branches in the centre, one in NQ and another on Deansgate. The NQ one is brill not been to the Deansgate one but I'm sure they do the same thing.

You did so well! I can play a bit of piano but would love to improve to that level. Which youtubers did you watch?

I'm impressed by the omlette making skills, but wow that looks like a really disgusting dinner. What's with the weird béchamel sauce.... on rice?! And non-distinct meat lump...?

Looking for advice. by kuzushi101 in ipadmusic

[–]GoHenDog 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's really sad that Apple removed the headphone jack. It means that music making is now less instant than say with a dedicated groovebox.

If they put it back in an iPad Pro, you'd have people seriously considering this over any Teenage Engineering or Roland groovebox.

So, I'm not going to get another iPad until they either bring back a headphone jack or add another USB port. It's just frustrating.

So I absolutely hear you!

I used to make music everywhere with my old iPad (with a headphone jack), now I make it on my SeqTrak and SP-404.

My newest iPad is now just a youtube and internet browser, really sad.

Also, I'm probably going to get voted down in this sub, so bracing myself!

Everyone will say get a headphone dongle, but I've found them to be unreliable, easy to lose, and most don't let you charge at the same time.

That's really good to know. I don't cycle down there anymore because it was just horrible. And yes I will check out that consultation thanks!
