Agreed. I’d say Ubuntu is generally fine except for defaulting to installing snaps (which are terrible, the worst package management).
I’ve never seen a 2l bottle of it. I think 750ml is the usual one?
But the ‘please recycle’ thing I believe is outdated. Packaging now tells you what to do with components of the packaging, as an example something might say “Bottle” and have a recycle symbol, “Cap” and have a recycle symbol, “Foil seal” and have a bin symbol.
Tetrapaks will have the recycle symbol but say under it “Check locally”. Well when I looked into that there’s almost nowhere in the country that accepts recycling of tetrapaks.
Anyway. I got an ice break a few months ago for the first time in years and I think it was either “Rubbish” or “check locally”. But I used ice break as an example because they annoyed me not using easily recyclable packaging like other flavoured milk bottles.
Contradicts what I said earlier I know. You got me thinking about it a bit more what I remember being on their bottle.
Lack of recyclability shits me. Especially when something that used to be packaged in cardboard is suddenly being sold in plastic.
Also, most plastic bottles are recyclable. Plastic bottles used for juice, flavoured milks, and water from the fridge section, recycle that shit! But not if it’s Ice Break. Those big chunky Ice Break bottles that seem no-brainer recyclable are clearly marked as non-recyclable.
We’re not going to make, are we? ‘People’, I mean.
Yes. This opinion piece pops up every couple of months and it’s always related to “this is how we get more Mac and Windows users”.
I couldn’t say. I only played a couple rounds of it when it first released so I couldn’t work out if anything was new.
I played some 20 Minutes Till Midnight. I like it, but not a lot to say about it.
I kind of feel like I want to give Bioshock Infinite a go soon.
I started a playground of homm3 on the weekend. First time since in about 20 years. But I only lasted about 20 minutes and fell asleep.
Well this is just off the top of my head, but… bribe the captain with beer and cooking.

Ceramic pots with no drainage holes
(lemmy.sdf.org)
We have a bunch of these ceramic pots which often come as gifts when people give us plants.
No drainage holes. What use are they? They’re so small I think only succulents would be an option, but wouldn’t they just rot in water?
As always, I’m not going to be able to play half my usual games without touchpads.
Analog sticks do not make a good mouse replacement.
I would have thought that “y’all” is even more so gender neutral and therefore less offensive/more accepted. It’s a contraction of “you all” right?

Doll house Christmas present (bit late posting!)
(lemmy.sdf.org)
I’m not active enough of an internet guy to remember to actually post stuff - so we’re going back 6 months…
I surprised my daughter (and the entire family) on Christmas morning when they found this waiting in the living room. I hadn’t told my partner I’d been working on anything, kept it quiet.
It’s all just pine, dressed all round. Had to go buy a cheap and nasty jigsaw to cut the doors and opening between floors since my coping saw broke whilst trying to work this (handle snapped clean off, thanks Stanley)
The roof- cut at an angle, turned one piece over and glued it. Then stood like a statue holding it for half an hour pressing it against the ground until it dried enough. Couldn’t think of any other way to hold it tight at that angle -_-
The floors and balcony are all slotted into through dados. Cut, chiseled and then cleaned up a bit with trim router. And I hate so much working pine with chisels! (I’ve since got a bigger router bit that would have made this much easier)
Finished with water based Jarrah stain, with water based acrylic paint on the roof and “bathroom”. Some of that finish is really sloppy, I was still out there late on Christmas Eve trying to get the last few coats on.
A leftover sheet of mdf (think about 5mm) just painted and nailed in as the back wall.
There’s a little set of stairs on the ground floor finished with dark carnauba wax. There’s also a little rope ladder going up to the top floor - was from our pet bird who had left us recently.
A whole mish mash of different ideas here, but I just wanted to make something fun and interesting for my daughter.
For what I wanted to do for her first big Christmas (just turned 3), this turned out better than I thought I could do.

New bed for my daughter
(lemmy.sdf.org)
Finally completed a bed for my 3 year old daughter. This was my first project in 20 years, so it’s taken me about 9 months of relearning techniques, practicing, finding the right tools, and just finding time really.
Originally was just M&T and half lap joins, but when setting up I decided it was a little too wiggly so I put 38mm and 17mm angle brackets to reinforce it.
Mostly construction lumber from local hardware shop. A few pieces “feature pieces”, Blackbutt and Macrocarpa. Finished with walrus furniture oil. The slats were cut down from someone selling off pieces of their bed on marketplace. (?)

More rice than grey chicken, haphazardly thrown on the plate broccoli, the giant protein bottle.
