Fantastic. Glad you’ve got it all sorted :)

I bet you’ve just got HDMI-CEC turned off in the Fire TV’s settings or something (i.e. you probably don’t even need an app).

What make and model TV do you have?

Pretty sure the lyrics are:

Girls who are boys
Who like boys to be girls
Who do boys like they’re girls
Who do girls like they’re boys

Which basically means girls taking the stereotypical male role during intercourse while the boys take the stereotypical female role.

Basically “Pegging: The Musical”.

I turn the brightness on my phone as low as it goes, turn on night shift to get rid of blues, and read (white text on black background / dark mode).

Don’t read in continuous scroll; find a way to turn the page with minimum animation.

Read something you don’t find so compelling as to keep turning pages but enough that you’re happy to read.

I find history books most successful at the moment since there is often no desire by the author to build tension, suspense, etc that keeps you alert.

Pallet Town

You can also use something like MagicaVoxel to make blocky 3D models which people can learn to use a heck of a lot faster than Blender etc, especially if they have played Minecraft before.

Gerbilling / Gerbilled

Ah fuck, our server is getting Gerbilled by Lemmywinks.

I’ve literally tied myself over with several series of Sanderson’s while waiting for the final book in the Kingkiller Chronicle series.

I guess there’s always the reassurance that Sanderson will probably pick up any major series that needs finishing haha.

The stress of success, many eyes watching, and not publishing is less crushing than publishing a shit ending that ruins the trilogy and wipes out all interest in the first two books.

Hah, that music video is genuinely a pretty accurate depiction of your average England village’s May Day celebrations. I went to one this year, got drunk watching old men skipping about while wearing bells, kids tying up a pole with ribbon, folk band (minus the fabulous Mike Edmonds as seen is this video) playing fiddle and more, sitting around on a bunch of straw bales, and cuddled a goat kid while my dog obsessed over a Shetland pony until my partner told us to go home.

Call your mobile provider (and be prepared to jump ship to a different provider) and ask to speak to their “Retentions” department or team. Every big provider has a team whose job it is to keep customers by basically throwing sweeteners at them.

It’s crazy how many services do this if you just call up, asking to cancel. Sky or Virgin (can’t remember which as I’ve not watched broadcast TV in a few years) gave me 3 months free every time I called to cancel.

It’s written by a Bitwarden dev too.

Aaah, thanks for the insight.

Unlimited texts, unlimited calls, 50GB data (music streaming is ignored), EU roaming, 5G for £10/month.

Also it’s crazy how much US and AU people are paying!

TIL “lent” is a slur

I envy you deeply. My biggest regret is not stocking up when they were really cheap. I just didn’t think Valve would stop making them. At least they never stopped supporting it!

And leans towards eating lots of glitter. At least in my experience.
