Why are we still calling them “settlers”? We’re not playing fucking Civ.

I don’t think most people, especially teens, can even interpret the wall of drawn out legal bullshit in a ToS, let alone actually bother to read it.

Yeah I hear you there. Quick recipes are the singular reason I find AI useful.

[–] brap@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Maybe controversial, but if I ask AI for a recipe I get one. If I search for something and go to a website there’s a fucking novel to trawl through before I find the actual recipe. Even then it’s in weird units half the time.

No you can just give it a go at any time one you pass the theory test. You just need a vehicle and a means of getting to the test centre, so someone who’s had a licence for 4+years sat in the car too and L plates affixed.

But they are pretty stringent with how you drive. So no unnecessary hesitation, driving economically, and otherwise doing things “by the book”. You get get marked down with minor faults (such as stalling the vehicle or touching the kerb) which are fine, but get 15 and it’s an instant fail. Likewise with a single major (like running a red light or failing to stop at a Stop sign) it’s a fail.

Theory is £23, practical is £62. The test depends on how long it takes you to learn and get comfortable driving. £80 for a 2 hour session, repeat say 15 times gives you £1285. It certainly isn’t cheap and just climbs the longer it takes for you to be be “test ready”.

“And she often obsessed over random projects before abruptly abandoning them.”

Preach.

Nothing crazy. Just a phone ending up in either the bath, the toilet, gravy, sand, whatever. Kinda surprising what an iPhone will endure tbh.

I don’t care for the number and just go by what they say it will endure, but absolutely. As the owner of a toddler it’s saved the day on as number of occasions.

I’m going to get absolutely roasted for this, but Elden Ring. I put about 10 hours in trying to like it, but it just made me angry and miserable. And it was kinda boring.

White wheels on some cars or bikes. But hell no to keeping them clean.
