Maybe 20 or 27, some of the 40s look familiar too.
How did they get up to 120??!
I’ve only ever owned electric mowers (actually, that shouldn’t be plural - I’ve only ever owned one electric mower which I brought back in 2007 when I got a house with a garden). It isn’t a battery one - I’m not sure they existed back then - but I will change it for one when I have to replace it as the cable’s a bit annoying.
I’d actually rather leave the grass to grow but apparently it looks untidy.
Yeah, or there’s something obviously broken but no obvious way to fix, or a spring pings off during disassembly and it isn’t clear where it came from.
So many times I’ve taken things apart to “see what’s wrong” to no avail.


Thought the same about Lancashire Hotpot!
I’m not sure if it works the same way, but Google Wallet uses a virtual card number as well as needing the phone unlocked. There a layer of obfuscation over using a contactless card, that I like.
How about some Adam Buxton?

Sorry if I came across like that (I still think 3½ jobs is too many just for a roof and food, but maybe that’s normal for America - for a European, it sounds insane). That’s a shitty situation to be in and I feel for you. The US sucks right now, unfortunately the only two options are to move to a country (or at least state - seriously, what sort of law is that? I sort of understand where it could come from but it makes no sense) which doesn’t persecute trans people, or ride it out and hope the next administration reverses all the terrible things that lunatic has done. The first is expensive and the second isn’t great either. I hope your situation improves.

Three and a half jobs… Obviously I don’t know the full situation but you must be living well outside your means. Whatever money sinks you have, get rid of them if you can. Nobody should need to work three or more jobs. I’d argue nobody even needs to work two jobs but sometimes it’s unavoidable or one is a personal project which wouldn’t be possible without income from the other.
Sort your finances out so you can work less and you’ll be happier.

I like the comparison with the 1972 image:

The old one looks like the colour has been turned up too high. The new one is a lot more natural.


There are a few petrol shortages in the UK I believe, but that’s mostly people panic buying. I have an EV so doesn’t affect me!


Thanks, I don’t think there was a link in the article. I’ll edit it into the description.
With my own money, it would have been some ZX Spectrum budget title. I clearly remember Fantasy World Dizzy being mine and I think I bought it with my own money rather than it being purchased for me, so I’m going to go with that.
The “it’s twelve o’clock somewhere” beer.


That’s a… bit weird.


Due to the reasons mentioned in the previous pinned post
What reasons? What previous pinned post? I can’t see this here or on the crosspost community.

Any recommendations?
Single tap. I just had it again when replying to another message but it isn’t doing it on this one.
Swipe typing is on.
Gboard keyboard.
That’s a mechanical keyboard, so you should be able to map the missing keys to wherever you like.
Failing that, PrtScr is probably on Fn+P, and apostrophes will be Alt Gr+{, Alt Gr+[ or Shift+?. The first two look like they may be accent dead keys, so try Shift+? first, or follow them with a space.
