Hi mcepl.

We thought at this time you may be interested in this special offer from our friends at Proctor and Gamble.

Where I live if you fall and injure yourself on an established hiking/climbing route, in season, you will be rescued for free (regular ambulance rides are free anyway).

If you climb or hike off track, out of season you might be charged for a helicopter ride or mountain rescue. As you can imagine it's not cheap.

We have our Aircon cleaned around March or April because when everyone turns them on and realises how badly they smell in July all the cleaning services are busy.

YMMV But another fun AirCon fact*.

A few years ago we switched from running the air con hard at 20°C or so when we got home, having it turn off automatically late at night, running it hard in the morning and turning it off when we went out...

To....

setting it at a supposedly "high" setting of 27°C and leaving it on 24/7 (July to September)

The running cost was the same and it was very comfortable coming home to an already cool dry environment. We never felt the need to lower the temperature either. It was lovely.

*"fact". I'm sure the condition of your home insulation, outside temperature and conditions, draftiness of windows and doors etc all play a role.

McDonalds is especially egregious recently. Time was you could get a set for ¥500 (about 5 dollars) Then suddenly all the menu items went up to ¥700 - ¥900. That starts to get very very close to the alternatives which are much better. The only competitive edge they had was price really.

Yes. Maybe "confirmed" was the wrong word.

I just checked the BBC news website. The sub wreckage has been found. They are confirmed deceased.

Looks like purple broccoli.

Done right it's lovely.

This is not done right.

Ah Rolf Harris. Haven't seen him on TV for years. I wonder why.

A short time later.

Oh.

[–] wotsit_sandwich 2 points 1 year ago

Yours wouldn't. The low profile, low weight ones do.

Go to the local gas station or tyre place.

Start filling your tyre and start a stopwatch.

Keep inflating until your tyre bursts. Stop stopwatch.

Replace the tyres and refill. Stop refilling 5 seconds before burst time.

Perfect.

 

He gets away with a lot for being so damn wholesome.

 

If you are here from my post on Reddit today. Welcome! You figured out lemmy! If we get a few more people here we'll dress the sub (wait! is this called a sub here?) up a bit and add descriptions and such.

Why not post something (even an old image that you previously posted on Reddit is fine) and we'll try and get the ball rolling.
