Listened to any good podcasts recently?
  • I like all sorts of different ones but my top 3 have to be The Good The Bad and the Rugby, No Such Thing as a Fish and Daniel and Jorge Explain the Universe!

  • What is your opinion on wasps ?
  • Wasps. Been around for a very long time. Important pollinator and pest control. So many different types of them all over from tiny ones to f-ing huge.

    But why do you want to annoy me when I’m just trying to eat my picnic!! Just leave me alone!!! Fun fact bees are vegetarian wasps.

  • Do airplanes consume more fuel on liftoff when it is raining?
  • Water injection is still used in some industrial gas turbines as a control for emissions, along with a modest increase in power. Steam injection is also used in some situations.

  • What is your favourite distance?
  • I like 8-10k. Far enough to get me in the right frame of mind and quick enough to fit in most days I need to. I do enjoy 20k on a Sunday morning plenty of time to catch up on a couple of podcasts.

  • How do you explore a new city as a tourist?
  • I just go for a run! Usually early in the morning Strava usually has some routes for most of the places I go and It’s a great way of seeing some of the sights! I’ve found some great bars and places to visit later on with my wife when on holidays this way.

  • How do people sleep on planes?
  • Noise cancelling headphones and the antihistamine tablets that say “will cause drowsiness do not operate machinery or drive” washed down with a pint of beer. Sleep for 6 hours no problems.

  • Friday fread
  • First day of the Championship so it's going to be ParkRun followed by a train ( strikes allowing ) to go and subject myself to 90 minutes of either enjoyment or utter disappointment watching Norwich against Hull. Either way end up in pub for a beer or two.

  • How to handle cables mess behind TV stand?
  • Smart routing of cables, cable ties or 1 power cord and use WiFi for everything.

    I’m using 1 HDMI for my soundbar and a power cord thats it. Everything else is just done through streaming on the TV, I have a HDHomerun tuner in the loft for terrestrial TV.

    As for cakes, grandchildren seem the best way for those to disappear.

  • Hey couples, do you have similar views as your partner or are you very different people?
  • Not really we kind of both believe that you have to work hard on a relationship we have been friends since 1981 married for 39 years have 3 children 5 grandchildren and can only really remember the good times. I can’t remember a time when I didn’t think that it wasn’t worth the effort.

  • Hey couples, do you have similar views as your partner or are you very different people?
  • Hammer House of Horror Movies, Only thing we both loved at the time and was the reason for us getting together!!

  • Hey couples, do you have similar views as your partner or are you very different people?
  • Over the 42 years we have been together we must have disagreed about pretty much everything that there is to talk about apart from one thing. Wouldn’t want to be with anyone else. It’s the differences that keep it interesting. There is balance and understanding in everything that we have ever talked over ( or argued, shouted and stomped) and we have never gone to bed angry. Over the time though we have kind of formed into a one that people just hate as we are united and supportive of each others different views and just get on. We are individuals first though and always will be happy with our own company. Oh that just sounds sickly but it’s the way it is!

  • HS2 is officially ‘unachievable’ after being given red rating
  • Did we really think that this would be anything other than a complete disaster. The money would have been better spent on upgrading and improving what we have in place and maybe even dare I say it subsidising rail fares to get the cost down?

  • How to Self-Host Lemmy: The easiest guide you will find online.
  • I’ll be honest so far it’s just worked really well. I’m still finding my way around communities and federation. This was the first time that I’ve managed to get a Lemmy instance working so thanks for taking the time to do the write up and for sharing.

  • What types of services are you not willing to self-host?
  • I did this for a couple of years and it became such a major hassle I just closed my server and told everyone to go get their own subscriptions. 30 terra-bytes of data deleted!!

  • How to Self-Host Lemmy: The easiest guide you will find online.
  • Thanks for this! It's the first time I've managed to get my own instance working. I'm not the most technical and have really struggled to get all the bits and pieces together to run my own instance and this just worked.
