Please take generic action (feddit.uk)
 

From a live Renault app, I'm always amazed the car companies' apps are so bad, it's not like they're short of a bob or two to spend on getting it right.

We were made for these times (www.awakin.org)
 

I know this community is not strongly in use but... I find the linked letter to be helpful to me when times out in the world get difficult. It's odd, because the message is quite religious and I'm staunchly agnostic.

Yet, I urge you, ask you, gentle you, to please not spend your spirit dry by bewailing these difficult times. Especially do not lose hope.

It always works for me, hopefully it might work for someone else out there.

It's a real shame Australia doesn't have any empty, sunny places that they could install massive solar farms.

Is there an historical reason why female formal dresses have a huge variety of styles compared to male ones where the only acceptable style is jacket with pants? in c/[email protected]

Those are the ones! It's quite a distinctive word so must have stuck in my head!

Amazing, thank you for that. There's so much that's fascinating in linguistics!

Of course German has a word for it! I did some bee research a long while back and we used to stick a tiny bit of numbered card on bees to track them. That has a German word as well, something like opalithplatchen.

What kind of language has a separate word for a tiny bit of numbered card that you stick on a bee?

It's one of the many ways I know that as a species we're fucked

My old neighbour had one of those kebab shop bug zapper lights which she hung outside and ran all day and all night. I couldn't sit out because the sound of insects being disassembled was too much for me to cope with.

I read a lot of good reviews of arcs, how does it play?

Be still my beating tastebuds (feddit.uk)
 

How low on avocado do you need to be to not be allowed to say that it's guac? 3.5% will certainly do it.

Does anyone else find that 4G+ on O2 is awful? (feddit.uk)
 

I'm not 5G enabled yet so theoretically 4G+ should be my fastest connection speed. However, on O2 I find that it's effectively the same as having no connection at all, and often end up shifting down to 3G just to get some connection.

This can't be right, I feel like I've forgotten a setting or something! Has anyone managed to figure it out, or maybe first does anyone else have the same issue?

Men: shopping with women (feddit.uk)
 

Having trouble phrasing this, so in case it's not clear I'm not looking for casual misogyny thanks

Having a debate with a friend about whether men shopping with women can be fun and I'm wondering how coloured my view of this is by me and my ex.

I'd love to hear what makes a great shopping experience for you with your friends or significant others!

Accident on motorway - what's the protocol? (feddit.uk)
 

I was driving round the M25 and there was an accident in front of me, I could still get round so I slowed down, put hazards on but drove past and carried on my way.

What's the actual protocol in those situations? I could see all the airbags were deployed, there's nothing I could do for the people inside and for sure getting out on a motorway is a bad idea.

But I feel like I should have done something different. Can anyone with knowledge enlighten me?

Feddit UK and Meta (feddit.uk)
 

Seeing as this conversation is going on everywhere right now, what's the approach to Meta going to be here on UK? Personally I'm all for defederation as soon as possible, what does everyone else think?

Fed yesterday, 2 hours at room temp and then in the fridge. She's actually got a bit bigger than I would like already so maybe straight in the fridge next time?
