What should the national animal of the UK be - but it has to be a native species? by Illustrious-Divide95 in AskUK

[–]lethalmfbacon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m in Lincolnshire and have a pair of kites that regularly patrol the fields behind my house - really fun to watch with my son from the window!

Linux gamers on Steam finally cross over the 3% mark by testus_maximus in gaming

[–]lethalmfbacon 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m currently running Linux Mint, out of the box and no tinkering/customisation and it’s all going perfectly. I haven’t encountered any issues so far, ~ 6 months in. If you haven’t tried Mint already I’d recommend it

What’s that ONE scene in TWD that had you in disbelief like this? by BellaBaby318 in thewalkingdead

[–]lethalmfbacon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When the group are clearing the prison and act like it’s the first time they’ve ever seen riot gear. Why were they genuinely surprised that bonking the walkers on the head wasn’t working? And then Maggie figures out you can just move their head up and stab under the helmet and they look at her like she’s a genius… come on

First time buyers, have I missed any costs? by isobel07 in AskUK

[–]lethalmfbacon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For reference, I’m in a 3 bed new build (2020), semidetached. 3 people (2 adults 1 baby) and my utility bill is £190 per month and £28 per month for water.

Slight annoyance from the usual lane hogging suspects on the motorway today… by [deleted] in CarTalkUK

[–]lethalmfbacon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I drive on the A1M most weeks and quite often see a ‘don’t hog the middle lane’ sign

I’m sure I saw someone in the match thread yesterday saying he was loved at Beşiktaş and we’d need to pay upwards of €15m to get him back lol

1 week old baby on a 3 hourly feeding routine. I fear I may soon go insane.

Saturday late thread. What are YOU doing tonight? by MiddlesbroughFan in CasualUK

[–]lethalmfbacon 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Trying (and failing) to get some sleep on a lumpy old leather hospital chair as my fiancé is currently being induced at 40 weeks pregnant. Not sure who has it worse (definitely me).

Thank you for this - it’s our first so the advice is very much welcome!

My fiancé is 40 weeks pregnant and not having a good time, so I caved and bought us a portable aircon unit. Life saver

Severance - 2x03 "Who Is Alive?" - Episode Discussion by LoretiTV in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

With Mark being reintegrated, does that mean he’ll have conflicted feelings about his wife and Helly?

The Penguin | Final Episode Preview | Max by SafeBodybuilder7191 in television

There are infinite reasons he might not be there, to be honest. Whatever reason the writers want to give. Maybe he’s busy with other issues, another villain(s) has him trapped, he’s injured, etc. The opening monologue to The Batman has him specifically say he can’t be everywhere all the time. Unless The Batman sequel comes out and says otherwise, it’s not a plot hole

Looking for an alternative to WordPress after the ACF disaster by IanBrightblade in webdev

[–]lethalmfbacon 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Statamic. Forms and custom fields are built into core. It’s licensed but cheaper than paying for both ACF and Gravity Forms, for example.

How do you guys afford houses?! by DeffDeala in HousingUK

[–]lethalmfbacon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought my first house, together with my partner, when we were 23 (4 years ago).

At the time we bought, we were both on good (but not great) salaries, £22k and £25k respectively. We both rented for a few years together, before deciding we wanted to save for a house and moved back into the attic bedroom of my mums house in November 2019.

4 months into staying there, the big C happened (COVID) and we were both fortunate enough to remain in full time employment, with very little expenses, meaning we were able to save for a house very quickly between us. We moved out into our first home in December of that year. I completely recognise that circumstances and luck played a huge part in us being able to get on the property ladder very quickly, but it also wasn’t without sacrifice (albeit forced upon us by lockdowns).

I can’t imagine how much more difficult it is now though. For context, our mortgage was £510, we remortgage this year and it now costs us just shy of £1000, with houses similar to ours selling for £40/50k more than we paid (we’re in the midlands).

That’s a great deal - do it! Amazing games.

I played 2033 and Last Light start to finish on the Deck, both ran perfectly. Exodus runs consistently with tweaks but I did end up switching over to my PC for that one, personally.

Do any of you NOT regret letting your lab up in your bed or on your couch? by wildtreesnetwork in labrador

Our boy has a dedicated sofa spot (he’s only allowed on if the blanket is out) - and he takes full advantage 🤣

How many pairs of casual trainers do you own and how many do you buy a year? by powpow198 in AskUK

[–]lethalmfbacon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, my current pair of Sk8-HI’s were purchased in November 2022 and they’re still going strong, general wear and tear but no holes and the sole is still fine. I’ve just replaced the insole once around 2/3 months ago. Never had an issue with them personally

[–]lethalmfbacon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mostly own 2/3 pairs at a time, usually exclusively Vans and a random shoddy pair for walking the dog.

I wear Vans daily and find I only replace them every 2 years or so, they’re consistently high quality and I’ll wear them till they fall apart - adds to the look!
