No I didn’t get any full on hallucinations, just light visual patterns. I don’t know if it’s actually pretty tame or if the dosage required to actually trip on it is massive.

I took 100mg of diphenhydramine marketed as a sleep aid when I was really struggling to sleep for days. I still didn’t sleep, but I felt as relaxed as a diazepam would make me and I had some very minor visuals so that was nice at least.

Occupancy or fire sensor? Or maybe it is a camera and the sign is a lie

The UK has building societies which sound like what you’re describing

“The result means a clause will be added to the constitution defining EU accession as a goal, though the country’s potential admission to the European bloc is still many years away.”

I’d never signed a credit or debit card in my life until I travelled to the US last year, and then I only did it because I’d heard stories of places confiscating cards if they weren’t signed. Don’t know how true they are now but I wasn’t risking it.

After encountering blackfly in Strasbourg last year and having legs covered in blistered bites I don’t have as much hatred for the tiger mosquito, at least the reaction to those bites is minimal

This guy’s ping is terrible

Angering the USB-IF

There’s a first time for everything I guess

It doesn’t trigger the horn on UK cars, which I definitely appreciate. Although it was amusing to watch my partner jump every time I locked our hire car in the USA, the noise pollution is unnecessary.

I have prime until they bring in ads, and I’m using Apple TV+ but I have near enough a year of free trials through a credit card, buying an LG TV and my phone network provider. I use my cousin’s Disney+, my partner pays for crunchy roll but I don’t know how much that gets used.

Apple TV+ is definitely worth it, even paying the subscription. I use Amazon enough that the free delivery is sort of worth it, but I can usually get things cheaper elsewhere now.

I use Plex and sail the seven seas for everything I currently can’t get on one of the services available to me, and I expect to go more this way in future as streaming services start taking the piss

Canadians are getting robbed. Roaming for me, if I travelled to Canada from the UK, would be £15 a month added to my plan, and I have one of the more expensive providers (EE). That’s with the same limits so like 200GB data.

Whenever I’m driving on a very straight road, I can be pretty certain that it was built by the Romans and is still used to this day

I don’t know, I didn’t pull the object out with it. I’m guessing it got caught on something large and got wedged in so I couldn’t just overcome the force of the magnet to get it off. Could have been something huge and magnetic, or could’ve just been stuck between rocks. I was just happy to not lose my magnet

Magnet fishing.

I bought a kit that included a reasonably sized 360° magnet, rope, grappling hook and protective cover for about £120 thinking that it would be good enough to keep me satisfied for a while.

After my first trip out and having to carry a load of scrap metal about a mile back to the car, I bought a cart for £80 so I could cart it all back instead. After having to use my car to pull my magnet out of the harbour on Saturday I’ve bought a cheap winch and a tow rope to anchor it to things for £25 for when it gets stuck somewhere I can’t use my car.

And of course I wanted a bigger magnet almost immediately, but I’ve managed to hold off on that so far. Saying that it’s fairly likely I will get an upgrade from Bondi magnets when the site launches as long as the price is competitive with Magnetar (I suspect it’s a partnership and the magnets will be identical, but we’ll see)
