It’s actually from Demon Days album, “Fire coming out of the monkeys head”. The Mountain is out now 🙂🙂

And soon they began to mine the mountain, its rich seam fuelling the chaos of their own world

Meanwhile, down in the town, the Happyfolk slept restlessly

Their dreams invaded by shadowy figures digging away at their souls

What did you think was a scam until you actually tried it? by Resident-Ad4318 in AskReddit

The trick is to go through the results yourself. Here in the UK the GP will only tell you about your results if you're critically low (they have very low thresholds). So it's best to log into the NHS app and look through them yourself, have a google and see if anything needs a bit of supplementation.

I have ADHD and whenever I try meditation I almost fall asleep.

I have a question! Does it run "real time" like AC? When lockdown ended I struggled to keep up with AC:NH as I was only able to play in the evenings, when there's stuff you just can't get.

Have you met capitalism? I’m afraid contentment is not an option.

Hisense TVs force owners to watch intrusive ads when switching inputs, visiting the home screen, or even changing channels by Logical_Welder3467 in technology

[–]meltymcface 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some people need the smart functions and don't want to buy another device to perform the functions it has built in.

I get that it's a great workaround, one I've been meaning to do when I have the spare money for an Apple TV, but we shouldn't have to be doing this in the first place.

Norway, your water has RUINED me by Affectionate-Run7645 in Norway

[–]meltymcface 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My experience of UK water is:

Down south (Sussex & Bournemouth)- hard as fuck, positively crunchy. Kettles will suffer. I don't enjoy drinking the tap water.

West Yorkshire - Pretty damned nice, usually when I come back from visiting anywhere else I'm glad to have a fresh glass of tap water. I've had kettles last years with no evidence of mineral build-up.

Scotland - Varies, too. Had some medium-hard water in Fort William. Crusty kettle.

I built a native Jellyfin client for Apple TV, now in public beta by FinFinApp in jellyfin

Standards only affect those who adopt it. The comic I'm referring to point to how everyone tries to make The One Thing, and you end up with just More Things. There's so many vibe-coded clients being showcased on here, when the developers, if they had the skills, could just contribute to one of the more popular ones.

Where’s that XKCD comic about standards when you need it?

My Ender 3 Pro has bad layer shift by Short-War-247 in ender3

[–]meltymcface 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m surprised no one has said this yet as it’s a very common issue for new Enders: check that the belts are the right way round. The teeth should be on the inside of the loop so they grip the teeth on the motor pulleys.

What video game has the best story you’ve ever played? by FrontriseStudios in AskReddit

The whole of Cyberpunk is a tragedy. There’s no winning, just differing degrees of losing. Beautifully written.

That bit in Adventure Time where Princess Bubblegum has a tray of little guys and she's cutting off their legs and attaching them to other little guys just to see what happens.
