wait that’s supposed to rhyme with the Z? It rhymes with the ‘me’ so it seems like it doesn’t need to rhyme with the Z

What game is this?

I know him as the guy who made his webserver respond to everything with a ballsack in an eggcup if your Referer is hacker news. Seems childish

Yesh they weren’t good people and especially bad with animals. Poor kitten had worms and was super malnourished and they didnt seem to care. Wasn’t spayed either. The new owners got her sorted out and she’s doing fine ever since

Stole my neighbours cat and re-homed it. It had to be done

Thanks, that makes sense. I guess I should have mentioned but you probably figured out , that I live in a country (NZ) where (most?) schools don’t provide lunches.

Now that you mention the cost angle I think I’ve heard of some schools providing free … breakfast? For kids who show up hungry. But this was specifically a social aid program and not something that was designed/funded to be used by a majority of students.

The whole concept sounds so fake to me. You mean you don’t just make and take your own lunch? Why not? Do you have to pay for the lunch or is it includes in your fees?

I always just took some PBJ sandwiches, a yoghurt, a muesli bar, a piece of fruit, maybe a cookie or a chocolate or some seaweed. It’s not exactly time consuming to throw that together in the morning, takes maybe 5 minutes or less

We have a Nissan Leaf (30kWh) which has been great. No regrets.

The things you worry about before buying (range, battery life) are absolute non-issues. For optimal battery longevity you don’t want to use a fast charger very often, so just charge it at home which is generally more convenient anyway. You can make exceptions occasionally when you need to.

We use it for city driving, for which the range is more than adequate and we mostly only charge it every few days. We haven’t yet attempted to take it on a proper road trip; so far we just borrow a friend’s hybrid if we need to do that, basically to avoid having to think about charging.

Yeah sounds awesome to me too tbh. My mood brightens whenever I see snow and I don’t find that low sunlight levels affect me at all.

However apparently between 1-10% of people are affected by seaonal affective disorder so those people may want to avoid Finland during the winter months

I’ll do the reverse - I think most people would expect homebrewing beer to be quite hard to get started with, but for $50 you can get everything you need to start making a really quite good beer, and save money at the same time (homebrewed beer is usually much cheaper than store bought)

If you want to get started search for “brew in a bag” and buy a kit beer mix. You’ll need a handful of equipment like a brew bag and fermenter, but that stuff is really cheap.

Then you can indeed go down a massive rabbit hole of refinements, but it just amazed me that the first beer you make will already be a good one.
