chrisbtoo@lemmy.cato weedtime@crazypeople.online•First smoke in a.. at least over a week!!5·7 days agoWhen I was a lad (~30 years ago) hash was all we had. So much so that I don’t recall if I’ve ever actually smoked weed.

chrisbtoo@lemmy.cato Leopards Ate My Face@lemmy.world•Former presenter takes legal action against GB News for unfair dismissalEnglish20·10 days agoBear in mind that these are British Conservatives, who are aligned more toward the US Democratic Party than what an American would consider “conservative”. They also have a black leader.

chrisbtoo@lemmy.cato Games@sh.itjust.works•Download these now free retro mobile games before Sega removes themEnglish4·16 days agoYou should be able to opt-out thought, right? Just deny it access at the OS level.
iOS doesn’t seem to be asking me for any permissions FWIW.

chrisbtoo@lemmy.cato tumblr@lemmy.world•If you ever want to feel old, read the notes on posts like this2·24 days agoOff the top of my head:
- Karate Champ II (arcade)
- Pac-Land (arcade)
- Gryzor aka Contra (Amstrad CPC)
- Sorcery (Amstrad CPC)
- Xenon (Atari ST)
Oh wait, Elite (BBC, Amstrad, and ST) — probably more so than Xenon.
chrisbtoo@lemmy.cato Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's your secret place to escape the world for a bit like?5·24 days agoSame. Walk the dogs, ride my bike, that sort of thing.
I have to move back to a big city in a couple of months, and I am not looking forward to it at all.
chrisbtoo@lemmy.cato Technology@lemmy.world•An earnest question about the AI/LLM hateEnglish83·25 days agoCalm down. They never said anything about the two things happening on the same device.
chrisbtoo@lemmy.cato Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•When your the big spoon how do you keep your earthward arm from falling asleep?42·25 days agoI bend my arm and put my hand under my face, thereby converting it into shoulder pain.
That’s because Cody is short for Come On Die Young.
chrisbtoo@lemmy.cato Technology@lemmy.world•Front Brake Lights Could Drastically Diminish Road Accident RatesEnglish3·28 days agoI get what you’re saying — so it’s about the subconscious awareness of the state change that happens after the driver decided to go, but before the car starts moving. I can see some amount of value in that.
I still can’t help but think it’s going to be interpreted by many as a sign that it’s safe to proceed and ignore the car rather than be prepared for any eventuality, though.
chrisbtoo@lemmy.cato Technology@lemmy.world•Front Brake Lights Could Drastically Diminish Road Accident RatesEnglish2·28 days agoBut isn’t that exactly the situation we’re in now? If there’s a car in the opposing left turn lane, they might start to turn in front of you.
The only thing the light does is say “right now, they’re braking”. It doesn’t say whether they’re moving or stationary any more than the headlights, and it doesn’t say anything about their intentions or whether it’s safe to enter the intersection.
chrisbtoo@lemmy.cato Technology@lemmy.world•Front Brake Lights Could Drastically Diminish Road Accident RatesEnglish4·28 days agoYeah, the only thing I could think of is that I’m driving down a country road, and I see the front brake light ahead of me because someone stopped for a deer in the road or something.
Otherwise I cannot fathom what benefit it brings. Anything that ultimately becomes “if you see this light, it’s safe to [X] in front of this vehicle” is going to get people killed.
And the negative state of “the lack of this light means that the vehicle could be moving” is exactly what we have now.
chrisbtoo@lemmy.cato Technology@lemmy.world•Front Brake Lights Could Drastically Diminish Road Accident RatesEnglish182·28 days agoI don’t understand this at all. Why do I, as a person in front of a vehicle, care whether or not it’s braking?
chrisbtoo@lemmy.cato Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Maybe need a little ivermectin for that.7·1 month agoInteresting. AFAICT the “power premium” price is just over half what we pay for regular unleaded here in Austria.
chrisbtoo@lemmy.cato Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Maybe need a little ivermectin for that.4·1 month agoIs the implication here that those prices are high?

Weird. Maybe the mole catcher went international!
This is for sure a pic from the UK, though — almost definitely in Yorkshire.
While normally I’d agree with you, this is custard we’re talking about here.
I’m willing to give it a go, myself.
