Sorry brother, the hive mind detected wrongthink and you have been punished for it.

I've done that. Was looking at the radio to change songs while going through an intersection. My brain was on autopilot and I followed a guy running a red turn signal. Just about had a head on crash with the straight through traffic 😬

Oooo old school forum flame wars. Is it weird that I miss that format? Might just be nostalgia, non-threaded forum arguments are kind of annoying to skip if you want something else out of the thread. It was always fun opening a long thread at the end and seeing the final dregs of the fight play out, then backtracking to find where it started.

My mum found an ice pack shaped like a ski mask that covers my eyes, it's magic for this. It's black so it blocks out the light and has that ice pack gel in it so if you get it cold it stays cold for quite a while.

That's my diagnostic tool as well. My GO told me to use the rizatriptan as my first medicine, so if that doesn't kill it then I know it's not a migraine.

My chemistry teacher taught me a trick that knocks the pain back for a little bit - cold head and hot hands. Basically, cool my head down with ice wrapped in a small wet towel, while heating my hands up somehow. It's supposed to pull the blood away from your head which lessens the pain.

Clean it once a week (don't buy the tablets, you can use the same powder the cafes use and it's way cheaper) and descale every 3 months. Our water isn't too hard so we don't need that so much.

We picked up the exact same unit for our small office a few years back. Nothing fancy but with good beans it makes a good cup of coffee. It probably makes somewhere in the order of 10 coffees a day and hasn't missed a beat since 2019.

USB-C and USB 3.1 comms can create a lot of RF noise which could manifest as lag. I saw this on a laptop with an external hard drive, when the backups were running the wifi died.

I just finished Tears of the Kingdom last week. No spoilers, the final boss fight felt like a dragon ball Z episode. The health bar busting out of its usual bounds and hitting the edge of the screen was a "shit just got real" moment for me and the kids, lots of hype. I didn't think I would see anything top Breath of the Wild in this generation but glad to be wrong.

I live in the far north and they'd be better off increasing the heavy rail capacity to get all the fucking logging trucks off the road. Will fix some of the pothole problems too - they created that mess by increasing the weight limits on large vehicles under the last National government, now they get to winge about Labour not fixing it. Standard right wing strategy.

Mine was about 1/4 moss the last time I mowed it. Looks like about 1/2 now.
