I drive on a lot of rural roads in the UK, mainly Wales, most of the time I'm just happy when the road has space for two cars to squeeze through and some visibility for what's coming around the corner of that rural lane. Actual physical lines separating the lanes? Oh boy it's my birthday. Yet with all that, we have a death rate per 100 million miles of just over a third of somewhere like the US, so I'd imagine the size of cars and inadequate licence requirements are probably bigger issues for road safety

The thing I find with discussion on here is that although most threads have way fewer comments and especially top level comments, I'm way more likely to get a response and end up in some kind of discussion than on Reddit where most of the time you just get lost in a sea of comments. Also think comments tend to be more conversational, less memey, less aggressive etc, just generally nicer.

A decent set of precision kitchen scales, and some general use scales that don't have a massive delay on them #WeightSupremacist4Lyf

But seriously, fuck you, measuring cups. Fuck. You.

A kettle is such a default kitchen item in the UK that I find it kinda crazy that it's not standard somewhere like the US, though I know I've seen the difference in base voltage being a factor before.

I'm alright with connect for now, Boost is the only one I'd pay for

Oh hey, that's why so many of them are also white supremacists and mysogynists

I've always heard it as Joe Bloggs. The Bloggs bot is believed to be a derivation of bloke

He's not even Norwegian, he's from Denmark.

"hottest summer on record? Give it a rest, they say that every year!"

Also I'm in the UK which has been raining and dreary for the last month so it's not getting as much coverage here.

I'd expect Lemmy to be a little older on average since a big chunk of the userbase is made up of people that had used reddit since the early days and want to recapture that, that demography also tended to be even more dominantly male, techy and political than the average redditor

Guess I'm gonna have to give bitwarden a go, I've used LastPass for years but their quality of service and value for money has plummeted.
