I like all sorts of different ones but my top 3 have to be The Good The Bad and the Rugby, No Such Thing as a Fish and Daniel and Jorge Explain the Universe!

Wasps. Been around for a very long time. Important pollinator and pest control. So many different types of them all over from tiny ones to f-ing huge.

But why do you want to annoy me when I’m just trying to eat my picnic!! Just leave me alone!!! Fun fact bees are vegetarian wasps.

Water injection is still used in some industrial gas turbines as a control for emissions, along with a modest increase in power. Steam injection is also used in some situations.

I like 8-10k. Far enough to get me in the right frame of mind and quick enough to fit in most days I need to. I do enjoy 20k on a Sunday morning plenty of time to catch up on a couple of podcasts.

I just go for a run! Usually early in the morning Strava usually has some routes for most of the places I go and It’s a great way of seeing some of the sights! I’ve found some great bars and places to visit later on with my wife when on holidays this way.

Noise cancelling headphones and the antihistamine tablets that say “will cause drowsiness do not operate machinery or drive” washed down with a pint of beer. Sleep for 6 hours no problems.

Smart routing of cables, cable ties or 1 power cord and use WiFi for everything.

I’m using 1 HDMI for my soundbar and a power cord thats it. Everything else is just done through streaming on the TV, I have a HDHomerun tuner in the loft for terrestrial TV.

As for cakes, grandchildren seem the best way for those to disappear.

Not really we kind of both believe that you have to work hard on a relationship we have been friends since 1981 married for 39 years have 3 children 5 grandchildren and can only really remember the good times. I can’t remember a time when I didn’t think that it wasn’t worth the effort.

Hammer House of Horror Movies, Only thing we both loved at the time and was the reason for us getting together!!

Over the 42 years we have been together we must have disagreed about pretty much everything that there is to talk about apart from one thing. Wouldn’t want to be with anyone else. It’s the differences that keep it interesting. There is balance and understanding in everything that we have ever talked over ( or argued, shouted and stomped) and we have never gone to bed angry. Over the time though we have kind of formed into a one that people just hate as we are united and supportive of each others different views and just get on. We are individuals first though and always will be happy with our own company. Oh that just sounds sickly but it’s the way it is!

I’ll be honest so far it’s just worked really well. I’m still finding my way around communities and federation. This was the first time that I’ve managed to get a Lemmy instance working so thanks for taking the time to do the write up and for sharing.

I did this for a couple of years and it became such a major hassle I just closed my server and told everyone to go get their own subscriptions. 30 terra-bytes of data deleted!!
