Also if you want to buy local but don’t have a local board game café to go to, https://boardgameprices.co.uk/ is very good (they have mainland shops as well as UK ones). There’s also a more mainland centric version but I don’t remember it off hand.
Avatar is a lemming in bed because this account wasn’t intended to be used except for creating communities… and then my instance announced it was closing.

You’ve sold me on Autumn. I was going to go for Spring.
Winter is next (cosy days indoors, potentially snow, and when it is sunny it’s lovely because it’s still cold)
Summer bottom of the heap. Can’t be doing with the heat.
Yes, that’s the one.
The three I listen to on a regular basis:
Cherry are German I believe:

There was a Lemmy search engine but I don’t think it is up any more.
Stract has a Fediverse “optic” but it doesn’t appear to be working.
Probably if you tell Google to search site:lemmy.world that is likely to be good enough.
It runs off of RSS feeds. Here if you want to look/use as inspiration: https://github.com/chris-y/rsstolemmy I’m not sure if that’s the latest version but it should do the job.
I have one running in !beds@feddit.uk as otherwise there would be nothing in it other than the odd article I’d post manually. The idea is that I will remove it if the community grows enough that the bot is just adding noise. At the moment there’s minimal engagement, but I find it useful as I see the local news rather than looking for it elsewhere and having to post it.
A lot of products sold anywhere are made in China. That doesn’t necessarily mean much.
It’s more important where the product has been designed (I think this is what the OP meant), and Japanese designed products are generally very good.
Just thought of another one. I have an old Amiga 1200 which doesn’t get powered up much but I accidentally dropped it in a move. Since then it’s been prone to randomly crashing. Opened it up, nothing appeared to be dislodged. Somehow discovered that if I prop it up at an angle it doesn’t crash any more.
Think I’ve done this one too! Desperately trying to rescue some data off a hard drive which just went click click click. Freeze it, try again, works for a few minutes until it warms back up and click click click…
Individually press all the Shift, Alt and Ctrl keys.
This was back in the Windows 95 days and persisted for quite a few versions. The symptoms were that when typing you’d get accented or no characters, basically Windows thought one of the keys was held down. It happened more often than you’d think.
I have something similar, but I use Minimalistic Area Card
Which one is it?
I originally installed it here to give me a bit more control over my solar/batteries - doing some calculations on how much to charge and at what rate overnight. Then I added charging up during free electricity times. Then saving sessions came along. Then I decided Predbat might be better than my Barbie calculations, so I got that set up.
In the meantime I ended up adding any device I could to it.
Have fun!
I went for n-ginx too. I’ve known for a while that it’s actually n-gin-x but have to think carefully to not revert back.
A Raspberry Pi. Literally designed for this sort of thing.
When I first started working I did some temp work. One of my bosses asked me to look after her niece’s Tamagotchi. I’d not had one so didn’t have a clue what I was doing. Anyway, I killed it within a day.
Make sure your settings are the same. eg. There’s a “show bot accounts” and a “show NSFW” toggle (I think there might be a "hide read posts"too). It could even be as simple as your sort order being different.
I have one of the original Zelda ones. I played it loads, but it’s the only one I have/had.
