sideoneCasual Sunday
Off for burgers at lunchtime with #1 child, can’t wait. Have to take a month’s worth of garden waste to the tip this morning as they’re striking and not collecting. Going to have to try to get a full wheelie bin in the car…
rubikfrogRecently I was at the dump an the guy in front of my had two full wheelie bins in his car. I thought he was the smartest person ever until I saw him try to 1) maneuver a full bin out of the car and 2) upend the bin into the skip.
JohnSmithI was half thinking making a burger today. I quite like Jamie Oliver’s burger recipe.
Morning dudes
I’m very happy to see a casualUK replacement for the suddenly redditless. I literally signed up to Lemmy about 10 minutes ago so I’m still feeling this thing out!
I’m looking forward to arguing about crisps with you all 🙃
Welcome, glad you’re here 🙂
(Salt and vinegar are the best crisps)
I concur, but what type of salt and vinegar?
- Discos: Not as good as they were when I were a lad.
- Walkers: Consistently ok.
- Kettle: Good if you are feeling a bit posh, but the balsamic vinegar can be overwhelming.
- McCoy’s Ridge Cut: Excellent.
The co-op own brand version of kettle are the best flavoured salt and vinegar crisps I have had in a long time as I have found most other brands taste more watered down these days. Don’t know if that is changes or my taste buds getting old but they hit the spot!
Agree with co-op salt & vinegar being the best (I do like mccoys too) - don’t really like walkers any more, the crisis are too thin!
Also agreeing that co-op are the best, but if you find the vinegar in Kettle overwhelming then maybe it’s not for you, they are very vinegary.
Crisps are not worth having unless they’re salt and vinegar.
Fond memories of salt and vinegar Discos giving my mouth chemical burns as a child 😂😭
They aren’t Discos unless the corners of your mouth are burning.
M&S own brand salt and vinegar are the closest I have found to my all-time favourites which no longer exist…
(Tom’s foods vinegar & salt from my childhood)
Discos start hurting if you have too many. They give you tiny cuts and then load up the salt to aggravate them.
McCoys are my favourite.
TeaHandsAlternate opinion: salt and vinegar are rank.
Hard agree, they’re terrible 🤮
My people!
Cheese and Onion gang, rise up!
Aldi’s beef mega hoops taste like beef Monster Munch and have better texture.
Because you asked.
I’ve become partial to those Thai Sweet Chilli crips. nomnom
Recovering after spending the day at St Pauls Carnival (Bristol) yesterday. I was out most of the day and into the evening. By the end there were rivers of piss running down the roads. It was a good day but I don’t envy those tasked with the clean-up.
I had my ear plugs in and it was still super loud when near the sound systems. Some were great, some had so much bass it drowned out everything else. I don’t understand how people can stand right next to the speakers (well… I assume drugs).
Not sure what to do today, although I think dinner is going to involve jacket spuds.
Cwtching on the sofa watching postman pat with my little boy…. Considering getting a second coffee but the kitchen seems far away.
Not a bad casual Sunday morning so far
We’ve had quite a few busy weekends recently which I felt bad about so yesterday I done a day of things the kids wanted to do, then swimming with them later this morning. They’re having a great time, while I’m completely shattered!
Cevilia (they/she/…)Morning. I have one heck of a migraine today. Like a hangover, only I didn’t drink anything last night.
This feels like a good time to remind people that Lemmy does have a dark mode. You can enable it by clicking on your name in the top-right, then Settings, then scrolling down to theme and choosing “darkly” or something like it.
Dark (or preferably amoled) mode is the way God intended apps to be viewed.
Cheers. Normally I prefer light mode because I find it easier to read, and keeps me awake more during the afternoon slump. But it’s very nice to have the option.
Good morning. I was demolishing a floor yesterday and my muscles are expressing their unhappiness in no uncertain terms. I should have stretched properly but the beer after hard work was just too tempting.
Similar, I was cutting hedges yesterday and this morning it feels like I’ve been bench pressing a bus. Need to go out for a run though. At least it’s sunny out!
I must have clicked on RIF about twenty times yesterday as I kept forgetting it’s gone forever - everyone I have spoken to IRL seems to use the official Reddit app (which was even more of a shock), so I think this Reddit play is going to work exactly as intended
(P.s. fuck Spez)
I can’t imagine using the official Reddit app shudders
I’m still not sure I’ve got my head around the whole fediverse thing. I’ve ended up with a login on both desist.uk and Lemmy.world but I guess it could be worse 😅
The trick is to put your Lemmy app of choice (or the mobile site) in the same space you had RIF. Make that muscle memory work for you!
Hmm, interesting more comments on this thread than the other place
I’ve got a dodgy calf muscle, but hoping a walk will be good for it and loosen it up. It better not go the other way and cripple me.
Tis windy!

We did start earlier than them 🙂
Hello from kbin
Morning all! Still getting to grips with Lemmy and the various communities around the fediverse, but enjoying it all so far!
Not sure what’s on the docket for the day, most likely a snall bit of tidying up around the flat, but do know I’ve got a sausage cassarole to prep for tea so that should be a good treat to look forward to!
HeartyBeastHelllooo from kbin.social I suspect today is going to be a casual combination of mowing the lawn and playing Zelda with the teenagers on the big telly. Worse ways to spend the weekend.
... and I really must write that job application :)
ScottyBI can sense your desperation to get that job application done 👍
Hopefully you can sense my envy
Oooh it’s nice to see this place getting some users finally. I’ve been here since the black outs.
In the time in between I’ve been learning to rubiks cube with my Reddit time and have now managed a solve in under 5 minutes.
Just rolled out of bed with achey legs because I went to the gym for an hour yesterday and then a run of a single mile. Turns out that’s enough for my aging body to seize up.
I’m sitting here in my daughter’s room, while she had an absolute banger of a meltdown. But upside is I’m taking the time to research what it would take to self-host my own Lemmy instance. I like the idea of my own personal instance that I can then federate through, rather than my account being tied to someone else’s instance.
I tried last week with an oracle cloud free tier and a Lemmy easy deploy script. It didn’t work but apparently the script has been updated now.
Good to know, I did read that the docker instance is a right pain to setup, but apparently there is a nice ansible script. Would be a good excuse to learn ansible. 😄
Hi, I’m new here. Another reddit refugee. I used to use sync and now am waiting for sync for lemmy. Long live sync!
I’m having a mostly quiet Sunday. My sister and her sons are visiting from the states. It’s been pretty full on with them here. They’re visiting Osborne house today (her older son is a big fan of Queen Victoria - go figure) and I’ve ducked out and am playing zelda and listening to music.
EavolutionJust back from Switzerland after my exams finally ended. Time to spin up P4G for the weekend!
mannycalaveraHi. Bracing ourselves for the onslaught of rain tomorrow.
