Ah I didn't spot that!

I feel like I've slept through something.... is there some kind of Lemmy & beans thing going on?

Not a lot really. Daughter (2) is getting fiestier and fiestier and keeps battering everyone with her toy horses. My son has decided to learn Italian on Duolingo and has been making some decent progress!

Finding mealtimes and bedtimes stressful with him though, starting to really dread the evenings.

I feel like July should be "Oh got it is so hot" and August be "Rain"

I'm not even 40 yet and my grandparents were in their 30s when the war ended. My parents had me when I was about my age now and similar for my grandparents for my parents.

Driving through FUCKING NOTHING is amazing though, stunning views and countryside. I've no idea how the random pockets of people can live there though and not go insane.

So edgy

I'd like to see a sports specific instance (just something like lemmy.sport) so we could have all the sport communities on one instance, rather than all over the place, and also avoid the weird politics and who's (not) federated with who issues.

e.g. !football@lemmy.sport

!formula1@lemmy.sport

Insurance must be the only industry that actively tries not to deliver the service that its customers pay them for.

This definitely isn't real. The cables don't look right around the truck. If a truck had somehow landed on the cables like this it would have pulled the telegraph pole down

South of Scotland is in Scotland. Same way the South of England is in England and the South of France is in France. This is the first time in my life I've heard someone make this claim before
