  • Exactly, this’ll limit the exposure to them in things you wouldn’t expect them to be on/in. You can avoid Teflon pans and go iron or steel but the amount of stuff coated in PFAS is ridiculous. Hell, even sofas, rugs, blinds, etc all sorts of stuff. And before anyone says “you don’t eat that stuff”, try telling my toddlers that! I bought a black milk frothing jug for my espresso machine. The black coating? Teflon. Not mentioned anywhere, not even marketed as non-stick.





  • Mate, same! Town I used to live, I couldn’t walk from one end of town to the other without picking up a a dozen acquaintances on the way. Made it really difficult to spend quality time with my closest friends.

    So, when we got older, me and my entire inner circle all got houses in a different town where nobody knew us! It’s blissful not having to stop to talk to people every 30 seconds.


  • Personally, I always loved the classic, side-on Mario games and thought the new features of this looked fun, but the best feature was the fact Nabbit and Yoshi don’t take damage. My 4 year old is autistic and wants to play video games with me but struggles. This allowed us to get through the levels together and he was so happy _ btw, they still die from falling, it still took a LOT of lives, haha.

    I don’t know how many others bought it to play with their younger kids but it worked for me!

    The top photo is of Sarah Limburger, a serial killer who would go to parties and target blind drunk men, lure them away from the party, kill them and cut their dicks off and keep them as trophies. She would then show the dicks to people later on, which indicated a crime had been committed.

    That, OR, it’s kinda illegal to just show non-consenting people your dick at parties.


  • Same, working from home increased my productivity by a ridiculous amount. I get to sleep more, I take care of chores during my lunch, I eat and drink better, I don’t have people talking at me all day, I have better equipment at home, a comfier setup, etc. I have sod all self control and will banter with people endlessly in the office but, left alone, I will just work non-stop, taking breaks when I feel my brain starting to burn out. I get more done in a day than most get done in a week.

    I love working from home and if they ever drag me back to the office, I intend to be an insufferable prick from clock-in to clock-out.






  • I second this, I love my Apple TV. Blazingly fast and stable and the extra features are amazing. Bought a new sound bar the other day, held my iPhone up and it perfectly configured audio latency. The TV itself had trouble communicating with the sound bar over CEC so I told the Apple TV to learn the volume controls from the sound bar remote, took 10 seconds. When I got my TV, the AppleTV used the camera on my phone to configure the picture settings for most accurate colour reproduction. Added a couple notches of saturation because it’s my personal preference, done.

    It plays everything I’ve thrown at it via Plex and Jellyfin, no issues. I also have Moonlight for streaming games from my PC via NVidia game stream and Steam Link for whenever Gamestream shits the bed. Just paired up an Xbox controller to the Apple TV, job done.

    Oh, and TV OS 17 just came out and added third party VPN support, so if you do have Netflix or whatever, you can change region using a VPN.

    I’m not an Apple fan boy but the Apple TV just works and if you already have a modern-ish iPhone (mine’s a 12), it makes it so much better.
