May have to try this next time! Normally I gulp lots of air until I can’t anymore, then hold my breath until I can’t, and breath out really slowly. It works but can be uncomfortable to do at times.

There was a contestant on the UK Apprentice show that did just that, and was apparently seeing success.

Monster Train 2 if you like card games. It’s got a load of content and replay and they recently released a patch today to add more!

Also been playing Expedition 33 and picked up Shredders yesterday, but have been streaming them from my PC as they look awful when trying to play natively.

New patch and DLC for Monster Train tomorrow that I’m excited for. Slay the Spire 2 will have some solid competition for my time when it releases!

“Dragging energy costs down around the globe” - such a shame the end consumer in a UK household doesn’t see that reduction of costs in their bills.

Thinking about people eating toast in bed makes me feel uncomfortable given the potential for crumbs.

This is great news!

I do feel like for some of these games being labeled as playable, by a lot of people’s standards I don’t think they would say they’re enjoyable to play in the state they are presented.

For example Expedition 33 is labeled as Steam Deck verified, but the quality is very poor, that I’m not sure I would be able to stand playing for long. Instead I’ve had to set up to stream from my PC.

Still great news though, and I hope the steam deck is considered more in the future when games are being made.

Thanks, been looking into this and it seems there is Descenders and Descenders Next. The former is really well received but it seems Next is still quite a work in progress. The impression I get from the store page is Descenders only has mountain biking? Still looks great though.

I hate that Ubisoft have Steep and Riders Republic. Hands down my favourite snowboarding/skiing games that aren’t SSX.

I don’t suppose there are any better alternatives? I much prefer the arcade style over realism. It’s nice to be able to finish work and just freeride to unwind.

it is useful as a sort of better google, like for things that are documented but reading the documentation makes your head hurt so you can ask it to dumb it down to get the core concept and go from there

I agree with this point so much. I’m probably a real thicko, and being able to use it to explain concepts in a different way or provide analogies has been so helpful for my learning.

I hate the impact from use of AI, and I hope that we will see greater efficiencies in the near future so there is less resource consumption.

I don’t believe there is a requirement for employers in the UK to pay for lunch breaks?

I just want a pillow that doesn’t put pressure on my ear, but also isn’t stupidly soft to the point it doesn’t support my neck. The Simba hybrid pillow was good for the first few months, but now just scrunches up against the headboard when I’m sleeping and I wake up with my neck at what feels like a 45° angle…

I’m not advocating for American chlorinated chicken, but I’m not sure our chicken is to a much higher standard. Over the last few years I’ve noticed a decline in the quality of our chicken from white striping to woody breast. I guess this is caused by them using breeds that grow quickly.

What would be the singular of twix?

I use a pressure cooking when doing hard boiled eggs, I’ve found regardless of the egg age they are always easier to peel.

It’s immoral to allow someone who could be suffering excruciating pain every day, and with no means to resolve it to choose how to end their life with some level of dignity and by their own free will?

Good question!

“Programming and coding are closely related but not the same. Programming is the process that covers problem-solving, designing, building, and maintaining software, while coding is the step of writing the actual instructions in a programming language. Both are important and work together to create complete software solutions.” - Geeksforgeeks

I’ve never used it, but people I work with teach Scratch to in their spare time. I quick search suggests it is years 8+. I guess it’s more programming than coding, but could be a starting point and lead into coding under 10?

They made a new game, Aethermancer which is pretty good so far!

Most people were voting Not Conservative. I knew even with labour in we’d still be getting fucked, but was hoping they’d throw a little lube into the act.
