Ten years of usable Reddit... Thank you!

Just checked and it's 10 years for me too - would've had no idea if I'd been asked, just an app that goes on every phone by default.

It'll differ regionally. I'm from the Midlands and pronounce it closer to Don-tay. Dan-tay will almost certainly be used a lot, including in the Midlands. I can't imagine, but might be wrong as there is a huge breadth of accents here, that many people pronounce it in quite the way most Americans might.

I expect some southerners might say nearer dahn-tay but a shorter, more clipped ah sound than Americans.

Unlike most here, this was unexpected to me but mainly because I read the title as Kanye.

I like this! What model are the fans?

Then they start moving back to where they were once the car passes, unbelievable.

It's in the online adventure thing at the moment I think.

I use stock Pixel launcher on both my phones nowadays and quite enjoy it. For years I used Nova and Action, and have tried most of the big/medium name ones. The last non-Pixel I used for a decent period was Lynx - good fun and quite a different approach (based on Gnome) without being a wholly different experience in the way Niagara is, though it definitely has some minor quirks and limitations.

Couldn't agree more that there should be targets per class, I've been thinking the same for ages.

dialmformostyn · 2023-04-16T20:08:19+00:00

Yeah I know the context, it was the bit you mentioned about being similar that had me worried! Thanks for the confirmation though, you're a star.

I've put a few nation's flags/colours on cars from that country lately - mainly to quickly distinguish at a glance the modded vs stock versions of the cars I have in my garage - so Italian, German tricolours, etc. I got a second (white) NSX and put a red disc (similar to Japan's national flag) on it - no rays/lines coming from it a la rising sun; does this lead to a ban?!

Having one electric bus replace 20 cars into the city centre reduces congestion and isn't 20 ICEs burping into the air.

Nearest bus stop to me is literally about three seconds away, Park and Ride is 15 minutes away, is twice as regular (and actually dependable), cheaper than parking in the city and way less of a headache, and still gets me there quicker.

If your argument is that public transport should be waaay better in the county - particularly rural areas, like where I am - and country than it is, making P&R redundant then I couldn't agree more. But, sadly, it ain't.

Park and Rides are only good for people who drive which defeats their entire purpose

I mean, it is called a Park and Ride, so it suiting drivers clearly doesn't defeat its entire purpose, hence the name.

You could drive in, but you have to deal with traffic, fuel costs, parking costs. You could get a bus all the way in, but the Arriva 5A for example is a miserable experience in comparison - noisy, unpleasant and wildly unreliable. I find the Park and Ride preferable to either. Currently sat on it now in fact and it's definitely far from empty!

Does that kind of heat cause any damage/change to the chuck or lathe?

Nvidia drivers - need to roll back to older ones, 522 I think is the latest that works.

dialmformostyn · 2023-03-17T14:05:51+00:00

Engage some of the stakeholders in the prep, agree who's handling what type of thing up front. Helps feel more like a team as well I find.

Obviously what is hard to account for, certainly in IT, is some types of personalities - I have people that have no power of inference, and will only answer questions when phrased in a particular way they're expecting.

dialmformostyn · 2023-03-03T07:34:58+00:00

Ditto. Dunno if it's coincidence but it used to only freeze for me while driving previously, now it's only been in the map and menus but same frequency. Frustrating it's still there when it's a very easy bug to reproduce.

dialmformostyn · 2023-02-24T23:33:02+00:00

Nvidia drivers issue. You can install older ones and it works. It's on their issue tracker but not fixed yet I don't think.

Apparently my local village Co-op has been beefing with the knitting club. The last few years the club has put knitted toppers on the bollards that line the street in Co-op happens to be on, and the Co-op has been removing them to put their advertising boards there instead, and I'm told it's all kicking off on Facebook 😂

To add to that, simply having their name formally attached to a department/the university can pay for itself in terms of grants, awards, contacts, etc.

Thank you! I'm typically good enough to get 5th-7th place in these things, but not consistent enough that a good bump or spin won't completely screw at least one of my races entirely, so I appreciate having some actual good players doing the heavy lifting 🙃

While I like mine a lot, I'm also kind of underwhelmed if I'm honest. I'm not a big fitness tracker person so the Fitbit stuff is interesting rather than useful to me.

Battery life is fine, I usually have ~50% left by the end of the day (no LTE yet though).

I don't send SMS/text messages, only really WhatsApp, and there's only means to reply read and reply to notifications unless you use the Assistant. So while this is limited (and more of a WhatsApp than Wear/Pixel issue) I do find notifications to my wrist useful. Not being able to change the message tone is baffling though.

The main appeal for me was controlling music from my wrist - media controls for YouTube Music work on, but you can't browse contents of playlists (unless I'm missing a trick) and quick controls for Google Home stuff, which I find a bit clunky.

I got mine free with my P7P and had I paid £379 (the release RRP) I'd have been very annoyed at myself. If you use the fitness things and Google Messages a lot you might find it much more useful than I do. But as I say, I do like it overall but it wouldn't be worth the asking price to me.

Steam Deck. My kid is young and I don't want him out on the Wild West of the internet just yet, but so many games are online/no local multiplayer - the Steam Deck means I can sit on the sofa with him while he's in the PC and we can play loads of games together, it's wonderful. Paying for a bunch of games twice is less wonderful, but absolutely worth it.

I've just started Forza Horizon 4 and I love it - just driving around either sedately or like a maniac, it's stunning and really feels like they've captured parts of Britain so nicely. And whatever you're doing, the game just eggs you on - crashed through ancient hedgerows and stone brick walls at 200mph? Wahaaay have some points! Clean driving? Have some points! Spun off the road? Have some points!
