I’m not sure how long this will last, but I’ve still not forgiven Netflix for forcing the ending to be rushed. The last season should have been at least two seasons.

Congratulations.
Broth.
I hate that word. To be clear, I have no ethical, cultural or culinary objection to broth, but it’s an awful word to say. You have to empty your lungs to say it, it just sounds like your belching, there’s no standout syllable to emphasise, in fact, is it actually monosyllabic or not? Bro-ffff? Utter horseshit. From now on, it’s Thick Soup.
I won’t, because I can’t.

In the UK we have the word “fortnight” for two weeks, which helps. I also found out very recently that “biannual” mean twice a year and “biennial” means every other year so, yeah, fuck knows.
rmuk@feddit.ukto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Which book(s) left a lasting impression on you?English2·8 days agoUnauthorized Bread by Cory Doctorow. Based on a few true stories and set five minutes in the future, telling the story of the poorest in society, the arbitrary restrictions put on them and, the namesake, the way their lives are controlled by corporate surveillance and physical DRM enabled by disinterested legislators. It’s a short story from one of his collections.
rmuk@feddit.ukto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Which book(s) left a lasting impression on you?English3·8 days agoMy opinion of Discworld is that it was always social/historical satire first, fantasy second - and I even more so as the series progressed. And, to be clear, I don’t mean that as a criticism, but as a compliment. Discworld could have been written as any one of a hundred different genres and still have been superb, but by making it fantasy Pratchett made it all the more timeless.

I cancelled Spotify after the whole Trump thing and switched to Qobuz; the whole thing was pretty seamless. I’ve got to say, the increased quality is actually noticeable and, as you said, the curated selections actually seem to be, well, curated. Also, if you’ve got a load of playlists on Spotify you want to keep, Qobuz actually provides subscribers with free access to a migartion service that did a superb job.

rmuk@feddit.ukto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's something you immediately judge a person for when you see them wearing or have?English4·16 days agoIn the UK our car number plates actually tell you when the car was first registered - the third and fourth digits are either the year or the year +50. Normally I object to this, since it was only introduced as the result of pressure from British Leyland to try and sell more cars, but it serves as a handy way of instantly categorising anyone with a, say, '23 or newer cuntmobile.

Nothing - absolutely nothing - from any other OS maker comes close to the granular level of configurability, customisation and flexibility that comes with Group Policy, not even ChromeOS or iOS.
Ugh. I pity people who have such a lack of self-respect that that can tolerate living in this kind of dump. If the bed was rotated ninety degrees, they could watch TV lying on their side. But I guess whoever lives here is happy to just settle for imperfection.
