Venison is great but the markup is insane. In Scotland deer are hunted to stop them from destroying entire forests and the meat is sold to restaurants at a loss just so that it’s used for something. Then those restaurants inflate the price massively because it’s “exotic”

I was almost in a car crash once because I clipped a puddle and almost spun through a wall. No it was not a calm experience.

I used to study animal management and there was a lecturer who wrote his uni thesis on “seagulls” and any time he heard someone call them seagulls he’d shout down the hallway “They’re herring gulls!”

There’s an overlap where both are valid for a few months and you can trade them in at post offices and banks but after that period is up it’s just tough luck I guess

Yeah in the UK old currency is fazed out in less than a year. £1 coins changed in 2016 and it only took a few months till the old design was invalid

That’s why old currency isn’t valid after it’s been changed though? That’s why most countries have swapped to plastic notes at the same time as adding anti forgery things.

Idk about regular houses but I wish factories were still styled like they were in the Victorian era. There’s a reason so many got converted into offices and apartments

It’s not really the same because I was working but I used to spend 5-6 hours delivering food in the countryside almost daily a few years ago. My car is from the same year but I don’t even have an aux chord let alone Bluetooth calling.

Basically just make sure you’ve got decent music and you’re golden. If you’re worried about the phone not charging well just get a 12v cigarette lighter plug off Amazon, there’s usb c versions out there now too if you need usb c to usb c.

I live in the countryside so I just take the dog for a walk through the fields. If I really want to get away into nature there’s a forest a few miles away that’s almost completely silent.

just find another instance and make an account there, I just moved from lemm.ee cause lemmy.today was recommended in the comments on a post about the shutdown.
