I thought that was a joke, but Christ, he really is. What an abject moron.

What a bizarre system. Tax should be taken from your payslip. There should be no need for the individual to figure out anything, unless they are self employed.

Looks, at a glance, like a cloud with rubbish lightning or a dandelion gone to seed.

There's no image, so 'no'.

I've never had hair like that, but the pic seems like a pretty normal haircut I've seen from mid-90s through to now

I prefer the portmanteau, Fantascist, as it mixes the two and also suggests fantasist.

Seems to be about memes and porn where I'm sitting.

That's expensive, although I've never seen the grade system before. A 12 pack of comparable large grade A eggs in the UK is around 4.50 GBP.

I love some random foreign artists that I don't speak the language of and can't understand at all - Saian Supa Cru, Dengue Fever, Kent, Sigur Ros, Vicentico.

On a side note, I saw BTS on UK TV once and thought it was some kind of comedy pastiche act. What I heard and saw was really terrible, yet the panel on the show were lauding them when it was over, and I just didn't understand. K-pop is likely not for me, I figure.

What? Are they charging you from childhood to live with them, like a tab you need to settle after? If so, they sound like pricks, and if it's a cultural thing, they still sound like pricks. Culture or not, you don't need to do that to your kids.

 

Every site I normally use is awful.

3rd game (feddit.uk)

I played through Shadow of Chornobyl and it is without doubt my favourite game of all time. Full of tension and dread, excellently paced.

Then I played Clear Sky. God, that was a steaming turd, particularly the last quarter (from Limansk onwards was just tedious). There was no point in having the Clear Sky faction at all, as they didn't help with anything. It was basically a one man job.

Is Call of Pripyat worth it?

Advice (feddit.uk)

Why, oh why, is Steam being impossible for me to sign up to?

The installer worked fine. I try to sign up for my son with his email and it tells me I have an account. I do the forgot password thing and it sends an email, then when I click the link it says I don't have an account.

Why would it send me the forgot password email?

I then try another email, follow the set up, click the email to verify. All good. When I set up my name, no matter what name I use it says available, but when I try to proceed it says Only use A-Z and 1-9, which each of the dozen names I tried was.

Then it takes me back and I try again. It tells me I have an account and to click the email verification link. I click the new link and it tells me I'm already signed up. Then I try the name thing again and the same nonsense happens.

And the extremely contrived captcha... I'm clearly not a robot or I would have given up due to the illogical nature of the process.

What the hell?

Help (feddit.uk)
submitted 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) by Diddlydee@feddit.uk to c/mosses@mander.xyz
 

I have a moss question. If I want moss to grow between bricks on my driveway (5mm gaps), can I just cut moss up, put it in, and water it? Will it grow (there's residual soil between the bricks as weeds grow there)? There's loads of moss (sphagnum amongst others, nearby) which I could harvest. Or do I need some kind of mix with a culture (like moss and milk, or something)? Is there any particular type of moss? Any advice is appreciated.

 

They wouldn't be as annoying as they are if the people playing the games in the ads made good decisions. Seeing people fail through obvious bad choices is way more irksome than someone smashing it.

 

My 9 year old wants a gaming laptop and my laptop spec knowledge is minimal. He wants to play Fortnite and Minecraft and the like, nothing fancy. Any ideas re good laptops to buy, or good places to look? I'm in the UK and my budget is 300 quid tops, ideally less.
