Weed and food. The former isn’t a problem, the latter can be.

When I’m stressed I have to consciously be very aware of my eating. During lockdown I was spending a hundreds per month on just food.
Within two years after lockdown ending, I managed to lose 36KG. I try my best to keep a good weight, and I’m within acceptable ranges as per the BMI, however every once in a while I would have a bad day and eat an entire extra large pizza to myself for lunch.

At least people are keeping my mother’s name out of their damn mouth.

Pardon my language, though I heard this in an interview with Jimmy Carr, and it rather highlights this for me quite well:
I’m paraphrasing, though it was something like “if you’ve seen five cunts before noon, you’re the cunt”.

You’re right in that you’d have to install an APK, from outside of the Play Store, however if you’re aware of the right sources of the right apps your security should be fine (you can disable the ability to install apps from unknown sources after you’ve got the YouTube alternative app, without affecting it, if you’re worried about that).

There are a few steps, which are usually straight forward, listed here: https://github.com/yuliskov/SmartTube

If you follow that link it should have further links for an installation tutorial (they also link a YouTube tutorial to make things easier).

If you do go down that route, it’s a much more pleasant experience imho. No ads, Sponsorblock for in-video ad segments, complete control over quality of video, audio, options to manually force specific codecs, etc.

Do you have the option to install Android apps onto your TV? Or if it has another OS with the option?

I did an upgrade, instead of a clean install, to the same version. I just had to reinstall my graphics driver and everything works as before, I just went through another step to remove some programs and it’s been smooth sailing since.

Massgrave.dev provided what I needed. Was a breeze.

No matter what it says about my game time on Steam, XBox, etc. I still think Space Cadet has given me the most hours on record (albeit unrecorded).

Yeah, I’m pretty stoned too.

I’ll believe it when it happens, until then all I hear are promises that could be broken.
Words alone are meaningless.

Eggy in a basket. Many may know of it from V For Vendetta, and as much as I’d like to show off: I saw it on there first as well (all those years ago), but my gosh is it satisfying!

Butter one side of thick-sliced bread, use a small glass to cut a hole in the middle, plop some butter into a pan, put the un-buttered side down and crack an egg into the middle, and once it’s cooked enough flip it for a bit and then serve.
It takes practise to get the timing, of when to flip, right but once you do it’s just buttery and eggy and definitely comforts me well.

Thank you. I didn’t realise how much tea Britons drink, until I lived in America for a few years (apparently taking a box of teabags to work isn’t normal, who knew!)
Fun fact: all British military tanks are filled with water heating units, which is often used for tea breaks.

I know my method is going to make people cringe, however hear me out:
Let’s say you are making for ten people, put ten cups out then pour the water first.
Gently place a bag atop the water and have it naturally float down, in each of the cups.
You’ll be able to see the oils, tannins, etc. slowly seeping out of the teabag and gather at the bottom of each cup. This provides a good visual indicator of the brewing.

Once there is a dark layer covering the bottom of the cups, usually takes 1-2 minutes or so, give them all a stir, remove the teabags, then apply the sugar as needed to all cups, then the milk to all cups.

Makes it quick and efficient, rather than dealing with a cup at a time. Also every cup will have been brewed for the same intensity too, no randomly weak cups!

Seeing kids smile, hearing them laugh. Like, if I’m on the bus and I hear a baby laughing, with those early crackly chuckles they get, it just taps into something within me and brightens my mood. Very difficult to frown with such pure happiness around.

I quite liked the ending, and thought it was a hilarious way to finish it. Maybe I’m alone, however I honestly did like that as it seemed typical of a Monty Python thing.

I genuinely prefer Ronan Keating’s version of Words

I have the Bee Gees original on vinyl, yet I always go back to Keating.

Sponsorblock usually helps with that.

According to Tipalti, Apple as a company makes over $157 Billion per day. I don’t think these fines exist for the elite.

Didn’t Microsoft just keep paying fines back in the day, as they could afford it or am I remembering some sort of fever dream?

I tried to stop someone from taking her life about 14 and a half years ago, failed, and it still haunts me on some days. Been thinking of finding a counsellor who specifies in grief, it’s never too late. Got a few services in mind, just need to make the call.

Game of Thrones. Just couldn’t get into it.
