And if you don’t have Premium (or just love audiobooks I’m general, wishlist the item on chirpbooks.com and when it goes on a 30-day sale you’ll get notified, where you can then buy it for like 90% off. I love this service and it has changed the way I consume audiobooks. Like audible without the membership.

it’s currently US$18.99 down from $20 if you have no Spotify and are unable to wait it out.

I just noticed the middle tines of the fork are snapped off, allowing for easy insertion.

Yes, I have noticed tin particular he “animé grunt” where even a silent expression or a gasp would do.

I wouldn’t say I despise them, but the other negative emotion I have is feeling depressed at having been a burden that they decided they wanted, of their own free will, to help me. I hate it, it’s so backward. It becomes a spiral of feeling melancholic for no reason and it just becomes a depression feedback loop.

The further down the rabbit hole I go, the more I’m questioning what I thought was ‘normal’ and what is actually a trait. Who knows, maybe it’s dyscalculia. I do mix up the number 9 and letter N, for instance in a reference or ID number I have to remember.

Toe fur

Maybe I did know, but nobody cared enough to call attention to it, so I forgot; and then I forgot that I forgot. MIB-style.

Three decades I’ve had this name and only now am I noticing that.

I can I can’t??

But it’s a perfectly cromulent word.

Feels weird giving stories like this an updoot.

Hire an accountant.

Boost also had this handy feature where you could tap a button to see the parent comment. It would open a popup/modal window displaying the comment with the usual updoot/downdoot, quote/reply and parent buttons - so you could easily repeat the process and read the parent context up to the root.

That was handy in long complex threads.

The definition of a ‘risky click’.

You’re gonna make it really difficult to jump on Boost for Lemmy when it comes out. Maybe I’ll use both apps, or use Voyager on a specific device and Boost on another. 🤷‍♂️ I have been impressed from the get-go at how ready wefwef/Voyager has been since migrating from reddit. Not a fan of iOS, so I’m interested in having the in-app switch to change OS ‘themes’ in the web app framework you use!

Thank you for all your hard work and effort you have put into this app!

+1 for both displaying on Android, Voyager 0.21.

Block out the Sun!

I think silver-haired white guy has been on-brand for professional autocue readers though. That is changing a little bit, but I think it’s the majority - at least until the grandfathered contracts run out (the likes of Huw, Eamonn Holmes etc) and the Beeb, Sky and ITV diversify. I don’t watch too much rolling news but I think the BBC at least are already doing this with their news output.

The prompt in this post reminds me of Jesse from The Fast Show (Mark Williams)

“This week, I have mostly been…”

So for the rest of this week i will mostly be bingeing every episode of the fast show on BBC iPlayer since I’m told they’re not expiring for another two more years.

And then after the final Fast Show I’ll probably watch the anniversary special. Whitehouse’s Rowley Birkin QC is phenomenal in the sketch where he’s recounting a story of his youth without presently being drunk. Incredibly delivered and written in a poignant way that only British comedy seems able to achieve; à la Blackadder Goes Over The Top/Goodbyeee.
