I tried reading The Handmaid’s Tale several years ago and struggled to get into it, I felt like it kept jumping around but it wasn’t immediately obvious right away. I think I ended up giving up about 25% the way through which I’ve never done with any book. I’d seen the show too which I thought would have helped. Maybe I’ll give it another go sometime.

I didn’t know these words were distinctly British.
What about knob? “He’s such a knob”, “Oi, knobhead!”

United Kingdom@feddit.uk•Apartment blocks causing issues for UK fibre broadbandEnglish
12·3 days agoWhen I rented a flat nearly 10 years ago, we had to get a wireless broadband solution as the local area hadn’t got any decent broadband installed yet (despite being a brand new village between two towns), however to install it they needed to drill through the entire wall. To do that I needed the landlords permission, but it turns out it was owned by someone (or an entity) in China and the estate agent couldn’t get ahold of them, so I said fuck it and just said yes they can go ahead and do it.
Imagine the possibilities!

- Sausage roll warmer
- Car windscreen defroster
Cheers for asking! Been a pretty chaotic week for various reasons, including but not limited to having to call an ambulance and fire brigade for my dad to get him to hospital on Friday.

Television@piefed.social•What TV series bungled a great concept that you'd like to see tried again?
1·8 days agoI think what made that so annoying at the time was that by that point we knew the show was coming to an end but the story was moving at a snail’s pace. There was less and less time to cover an enormous amount of content and it felt like Naomi’s arc was taking way too much time.
Re-watching it later was more enjoyable.
How do they even enforce this?

2·10 days agoMaybe the argument is that if you can afford the extra shortfall then maybe you don’t need the financial help? There’s plenty of modern cars that are very nice that would fall under the scheme.
I always hated the UX of forums. It was incredibly difficult to follow long threads with loads of pages. Personally I prefer the format we have here on Lemmy where comments are nested off the main post.

When you log into the console and all your shits gone and you start to have a mild panic, when you suddenly realise it’s switched you to a different region.
Are there any printers that aren’t balls? Anyway, I hope it all went smoothly!
