Only had ublock active, still happens. For now it still goes away on refresh or if I switch adblockers (so I’m assuming cleaning out the cache daily will work too).

Also, since when is Belgium two hours ahead of the UK? Are they drifting off towards the US?

Maybe for short times, but I’ve heard about dogs getting paralyzed at the groomers’ from being put in a harness for too long. Veins get pinched. And that’s with a harness meant for dogs, not something improvised like this.

No, that’s another source of income.

Not in the curriculum, though a sister of a classmate actually fell while running with scissors. Permanently blind in one eye, and a lozenge as pupil. Indeed not something you forget easily.

They’re absolutely amazing. And pretty common nowadays. If a store has baking tuns and a baked-goods section, they probably have silicon baking sheets. Just make sure you get the thin, non-stretchy kind.

Oh we definitely have racism. It’s just less “black lives matter” and more “only my skin colour matters”. And yeah, this definitely extends to the police too. But given they’re very, very scrutinised every time they dare pull their gun in public, at least we don’t have the “police raids wrong unit and shoots owner” happenings.

What is happening is still far from OK, any instance of racism is one too many, but the problems here are a bit more nuanced than what is in general shared on a public, overly-Americanized forum.

And in case you are American/Canadian/Australian, can I please point back to whatever is still happening to your native population? Not a single country is free from blame from what they did to other or their own nations. Call me butthurt, but I’m getting quite a bit tired of getting called out on the Congo on every single thread mentioning Belgium while that was mostly, originally one man’s doing. Again, nuance, I know more stuff happened afterwards, but it’s not relevant to this thread.

Silicon reusable sheet for almost similar cleaning, but eco-friendlier flex.

Well if actual crochet is used, you will have to pay good money. Crochet can’t be properly replicated by machines so it’s allll handmade (unlike knitting, which is quite easy on machines).

Flemish here (aka dutch-speaking). We say first June, sixth November etc. English isn’t our native language, so M/D/Y is weird as fuck and completely illogical to us.

They also seem to lack vision straight above them if they’re sitting on a light surface. So if they land on your computerscreen or window when it gets darker, you can flick them and they won’t see you coming. This will only stun the things for a second, so be quick to actually kill them/pick them up and dispose of them.

Because I can’t fit a crate of beer in my backpack, ofcourse!

I spy a disturbing lack of racks and baskets and places to attach packs to go grocery shopping on your hybrid though. ;) Many city people don’t own a car (or only use it for taking their sports bike out of the city), so I guess they use their gas money for that. I wouldn’t know, I’m a one (utility) bike only person as well.

Well, you’re right, this is a bike meant for transportation, not sports. Still counts as a bike though, so original comment is right too. Everybody in the Netherlands and Belgium has one of these (and if you wanna do cyclocross or bmx or fast road cycling, you have a second, third, … bike)

Secretly? I thought this was common knowledge. Mine definitely demands worship and pets every day.

Yeah, at the very least scratch the “face to face”. I’d be more inclined to agree if a message or a call is acceptable, but some guys you really, really don’t want to see in person a second time.

I don’t speak Spanish at all, but I really wish more languages would adapt it. It’s so much easier to interpret a sentence knowing it’s meant to be a question or exclamation right from the start.

I still make about one post a day on reddit in communities I like, in a reply that says “there’s nowhere else to turn to” and make sure to mention the fediverse every time. Which is far less than I post on here, where it’s about 50/50 circlejerk about reddit, and the other half is actually engaging with (or even creating) content.

This is my new home. It’s small, but I like it that way. I mean, you can actually find out all communities on an instance, so I actually find a lot more relevant communities here than on reddit. They still gotta grow though.

I chose a small instance from the start and haven’t gotten that much lag at all. The one thing that does annoy me is the refreshing on the mainpage (and then suddenly an entire communities’ posts are all on top), but pressing refresh fixes that for me. Confusing? At first, but I don’t consider myself knowledgeable about tech and I was able to get it up, running and personalised before even reading a single guide. I curently sort by “all” and “new”, and just keep adding to my subscriptions.

Is there room for improvement? Absolutely. But I wouldn’t call lemmy unusable at all. I actually spend a lot more time on here than at the aforementioned place. And one absolutely major bonus point: we can integrate images in our reply here. And I can copy/paste in the reply without it suddenly completely bugging out and not being able to type at all. It just works as its’ supposed to.
