Yeah, we need electoral reform first š
Thanks, that should do the job!
Took me a little while to find it as the brushes needed swiping to get the block on screen - it didn't look like there were any extras.

This is nice! I've replaced some little tools with this. What it can't seem to do though is pixelate a specified area of an image, unless I've missed how to do that? It only seems to do the whole image.
Not really. Only the odd thing on a brand's app, which isn't really comparable.
Home Assistant. I only installed it to help me control my solar/battery but I ended up putting other things on it and fell down a rabbit hole.
The sugoroku trip around Ghibli Park is also an Easter egg hunt.
Simple roll and move game, the link contains the English translations.
Ha ha, yeah, I forgot the photo would have needed to be taken!
Somebody's been recording home movies!
New operator, Neso, will also oversee Great Britainās gas system as part of āclean energy superpowerā mission
> The UK government has agreed to take control of the National Grid unit tasked with keeping the lights on in a Ā£630m deal that takes effect from next month.
> Great Britainās electricity system operator (ESO) will be transferred into public ownership to create a new national energy system operator (Neso), which will also oversee the gas system.
> The government hopes that by bringing together the separate units involved in planning Great Britainās electricity and gas networks under one publicly owned company, the system operator can adopt a more strategic approach to achieving a net zero energy system by 2030.
[...]
> The decision to remove the ESO from National Gridās ownership was made under the previous Conservative government because of concerns over a conflict of interest relating to the operatorās role providing strategic advice to government officials. The deal was expected to take place in July this year but it was delayed until 1 October because of the general election.
So this was going to happen anyway?

It looks a bit too defined to be a mountain peak, although it seems a logical suggestion. Anyway, I enjoyed this bit:
In July retired chef Richard Grieve said that he had worked with the two hikers who took the Calvine pictures at a hotel in Calvine, and that a few days after the sighting a "dark car" allegedly pulled up and two people dressed in black suits emerged, to have a "chat" with the two men.
He recalled that they were "visibly shaken" by the approach and their behaviour changed with them often not turning up for work and one began drinking heavily.

It's a TRV head. You can unscrew it with the ring under the black area - may need an adjustable spanner to loosen. When you take it off, see if the rotation works and that the pin inside moves up and down. You can also check the metal pin/valve where it attaches isn't stuck (it may need quite a bit of force to check - could need whacking with a hammer if it's actually stuck). If everything seems OK, re-attach the head and see if it's working. If it isn't, new heads are cheap. What you have looks like what I have - cheap generic TRV heads, easy to find online.

I don't think automatic crossposting is a good idea. However some way to "boost" Mastodon posts onto Lemmy would be good. Mbin has a way of boosting but can't assign a magazine. Something like that may work though. Mastodon can already boost Lemmy posts.
- Increase alarm reset difficulty. The more you have to conciously engage your brain to reset your room to sleep mode, the harder it will be for your brain to automate the snooze button. Put your phone across the room, use an app that continues to scream until you scan a QR code in another room or solve math problems, make a deal with your partner that they get to spray you with cold water unless you correctly answer these riddles three, anything. Make it difficult for your brain to remain in sleep mode when your alarm goes off.
To add to this, you can get alarm clocks that literally run away when they go off so you have to chase or find them, and others that have a bit of a puzzle to solve to switch them off (I suspect there are phone apps that also have the latter, but I've never looked for them)
Upvoted for NetSurf. I wrote the Amiga frontend for it, and as such it's my favourite browser on that platform (OS4 anyway - the OS3 build is very unstable)
Looks like this specific meaning of psych can be spelt sike - but not other definitions!
Tbh I'd never heard of this meaning in either spelling.
I have an alarm clock with two alarms on it. The first is radio, at a reasonable volume. The second is beep Beep BEEP with ascending volume. If the first doesn't wake me the second will. Unless I press the off button and fall back to sleep.
I'm amazed the clock with the bell doesn't wake you (if you mean one of the traditional alarm clocks with the bells on?). Those things are LOUD.
As sound isn't working, maybe try one of those "silent alarms" which just turns a light on to help you wake up naturally (I haven't tried these and would definitely have a beeping alarm as a backup!), or something like a Fitbit which can wake you up by buzzing on your wrist (and will adjust when it wakes you to match your sleep cycle)

I think this might work on !imaginaryfairies@lemmings.world if you want to post there.
That sucks š

> The BBC has ordered a second series of Lucia Keskinās Things You Should Have Done.
> Over six new half-hour episodes, her useless character Chi will continue to navigate her way through the titular list left by her late parents as she is finally forced to fend for herself.
> Keskin, who also created and writes the show, said: 'The BBC gave us the devastating news that we have to go again for series two,which means I might actually have to work again. Gutted"

No one could say that the Carry On movies stretched their female stars, or paid them generously. But, decades later, Amanda Barrie, Valerie Leon, Sheila Hancock and co have fond memories

I stumbled upon this series on the Roku Channel. Thought I'd post it here in case anybody was interested!
