  • What's the best tool for extracting these single line staples or whatever they are?

    Jump

  • That is smart AF

  • Who is the rolemodel that influenced you most as a child?

    Jump

  • Yeah it speaks volumes for the world we live in unfortunately.

    The best gift I ever was given (so far) was a project my 11 year old daughter did in school on "the person I admire most". She worked so hard on it. I nearly cried going through it. Apparently only one other person in the class didn't pick a famous person and they did it on both their parents.

    I work so, so, so hard to be a good dad and it was such a deeply touching affirmation.

  • What is your favourite pickle?

    Jump

  • Love Branston pickle on cheese. Nom nom nom.

    Also picked silverskin onions. Crunch.

  • It could be that a culture like mine where it's considered rude are more sensitive to it but it was definitely a thing.

    I love Italy. Been there a good few times. The staring did stick with me though, along with lots of other more positive things.

  • Oh that's a lot of time! You're right in the middle of Europe so everywhere is accessible and you will probably get bored in a single city in that timeframe.

    Consider a trip to Prague or Milan maybe. You could even go to Amsterdam or Berlin or hop on a flight to Rome. Internal flights are cheap.

    Also get some sleep there pal. It's late over there :)

  • People do stare, not sure if that is specifically a German thing.

    I found that a lot in Italy too. In Ireland it would be rude but I just took it as a different culture thing.

  • Well, welcome to Europe so! I hope you have a great time.

    Yeah definitely try to overcome the discomfort of using the trains / subway. Once you've done it once it becomes easy and they're a great way to get around.

    In general I like to do the tourist walking tours in big European cities. You get to see around, meet a bunch of others and get a feel for the city plus get little nuggets of history etc all for very little money.

    I'll check with the young lad about specific recommendations and get back to you.

    How long are you coming for?

  • My son lives in that neck of the woods. I can ask him for specific recommendations if you like? Sounds like you'll have local guides though.

    I really like Germany myself. I have a tiny smattering of German and I felt folks liked my bad attempts to use it so maybe get a few phrases together and numbers etc. Good food. Great beer. Nice people. Fairly chill everywhere.

    In general as a tourist it's a good idea in Germany to use public transport (and walking) to get around in big cities. They do have a decent u-bahn in Munich (subway) so maybe check out the maps for that before you go.

    Hope you have fun! Is this your first time coming to Europe? Or just Germany specifically?

  • Amazing video!

  • Is there an actor you can't stand? Do they have any exceptions?

    Jump

  • Oh that clip is brilliant. Must give the movie a watch.

  • I'm going to assume they are also around that age

    Text says they're 22. It's not an insubstantial age difference but definitely worth a whirl IMO despite the dad's condescending tone.

  • The Viking combat roguelite Bad North (2018) is truly incredible in bite-sized real-time tactics

    Jump

  • Legend. Thanks.

  • That's a good idea. Thanks.

    Jump

  • Thanks. I did spot that. :) I was more wondering if it'll be a decent experience with the controller on phone / what the mechanics are like on mobile.

    Like I have limbo on both phone (with controller) and steam and the mobile version is just as good but it's not the case for all games.

  • Looks fun. The sale on green man gaming is over unfortunately.

    I've wish listed it on steam for when it goes on sale. Currently only 4 euro on the play store though. Was wondering if it would work well with my Kishi (controller) and phone.

  • is Lemmy the most popular 'Reddit Alternative'?

    Jump

  • Yep.

  • What weird words or phrases does your family use?

    Jump

  • I am with you. I like this one a lot.

  • anywhere to buy a cheap chromebook battery without much charge left? (I'm broke in canada)

    Jump

  • Oh one other idea is your local electronics recycling centre. Our one frequently has battered Chromebooks. One by the same brand might do you. The folks in our one are friendly and would definitely give it to you for free so you might get lucky there too. Maybe leave your phone number with them also.

    On your question about the loose power - I'd say that's a dry or loose solder joint. If you're comfortable with a soldering iron it should be easily fixed. Occasionally a heavily used connector just loses grip and if that's the case a gentle squeeze with a pliers will do you.

    Jump

  • Good luck! If you can't find one for sale it might be worth posting up in a local Facebook group or equivalent asking if anyone has one. Folks frequently don't think of selling broken kit.
