    Looks pretty cool. Do you know if it works with rockbox iPods or just stock? E: it works fine with rockbox, but seems to struggle with large libraries due to forcing album art viewer. It’s a cool...

    E: it works fine with rockbox, but seems to struggle with large libraries due to forcing album art viewer.
    It’s a cool project but isn’t as practical as I would’ve hoped. Might revisit later down the line.

    Carbonara. It’s basically just bacon eggs and cheese. Very hard to fuck that up.

    Isn’t the demand also related to the price? If flights are cheaper, they’ll be in higher demand as a result, no?

    Surely there are more trains that run daily compared to flights? Also aren’t there a lot more people able to fit on a train? Maybe I’m naive

    A train should never cost more money than something that literally flies through the air.
    For as long as I can remember, it’s always been cheaper and quicker to hop on a flight to another city here in the UK, and it makes no sense financially or environmentally.
    I know this is the case for a lot of other places too, but in a country as tiny as mine, it’s actually shameful.
    Feels like people are slowly waking up to monopolies, but I doubt I’ll see the renationalising of railways that I feel we desperately need.

    Never played with this before but it looks fun. I usually just play around with the nanoloop app or lsdj in an emulator on my phone, these days. I used to use actual hardware, many moons ago.

    Mostly private trackers for me. But if you like NTS, try radio garden. Unlimited access to worldwide radio at the drop of a hat. Sometimes I’ll just flick through and Shazam things I dig.

    I had something similar happen last year. I started with a new therapist and they essentially stopped me mid sentence and diagnosed me with add and autism in our second session. It made me feel uncomfortable and I let them know that they had no right to give such a clear diagnosis as it was just their opinion and we hadn’t even had two sessions. I then cancelled with them and went for an actual medical diagnosis instead. This is still ongoing as there’s a huge waiting list.
    Despite them potentially being correct, they crossed a line as far as I was concerned and I could no longer respect their advice or continue the sessions with them.
