I really like these because they're convenient. I call them a hoodie.

Then I realised I never use the hood and it's kinda uncomfortable when you put a jacket on in winter

So I bought one without a hood

That was the day I realised I'd bought what was essentially my first cardigan :(

Hugh_Jeggs ,

Has anyone any experience of Ulefone stuff

Seems like it'd be good for clumsy fuckers like me, and useful on building sites too

Hugh_Jeggs ,

You've clearly never worked on a building site 😂

Hugh_Jeggs ,

Hmm this is your only comment on the whole fediverse, and the guy below found malware on one of the installed apps

Guess I'll be giving this brand a big fuckin swerve 😂

Hundreds arrested, roads barricaded in New Caledonia as riots continue ( www.reuters.com )

SYDNEY, May 16 (Reuters) - Armed forces were protecting New Caledonia's two airports and port after a third night of violent riots that have killed four people, the Pacific Island's top French official said on Thursday morning, adding at least four alleged instigators were under house arrest....

Hugh_Jeggs ,

This sounds very French. Try passing a law in France that says says you can't vote unless you were born there and see how long it takes before someone sets your car on fire

Hugh_Jeggs ,

I would guess you have a palate more used to high fructose corn syrup than high tree foreign shit

Hugh_Jeggs ,

Mine refers to me in an annoying childhood nickname :(

Wot a cunt

Is the only way to stop seeing the same news articles half a dozen times, to block the user?

Annoying as fuck when it's posted again and again by the same person, but sometimes it's a story worth reading

Bit of a conundrum

Hugh_Jeggs ,

I don't think anyone thinks of the US as the free world©®™ any more lol

Hugh_Jeggs ,

Guy there doesn't even know when to use "your" or "you're" and you're expecting them to pick up on context?

Hugh_Jeggs ,

Have you tried QI?

Hugh_Jeggs ,

Holy brainwashing batman

I heard it was Wensleydale and I wasn't that keen

E-Bikes Should Not Require Pedaling, Proposes U.K. Government, Diverging From E.U. ( www.forbes.com )

E-bikes could get faster, more powerful and not require pedaling, in a move announced today by UKGOV. Cycling organizations are opposed to the plans.

Hugh_Jeggs ,

Just so you know, ebikes sold in Europe don't have a hand throttle, because laws.

But also, most ebike manufacturers use generic motor controllers.

Is there a small panel somewhere on your ebike? Take it off and see if there's a small aluminium box in there with dozens of wires coming out of it.

Chances are, one of those sets of wires ends in an unused black plug, with a red, a black, and a green wire going to it.

That's the throttle plug.

Any old generic throttle from Crapazon will fit it. You might have to swap the wire colours.

Enjoy :)

Hugh_Jeggs ,

I'm not suggesting someone should actually, like, go ahead and do it because it's so easy, Mr GoodyTwoShoes

Hugh_Jeggs ,

Bear in mind, Europeans don't live in a fascist police state and the police are pretty unlikely to shoot you for having a throttle on your bike 🙄

Hugh_Jeggs ,

Aha! I've had both of these types.

Got a set of the Sony ones. Comfort 10/10, sound quality 12/10, stupid fuckin touch sensors instead of physical buttons that trigger constantly when you put the headphones down round your neck and you can't switch them off and it drives you so fuckin mad you sell them on eBay at a massive loss 0/10

So I got the Bose QC 45, comfort 12/10, sound quality 10/10, physical buttons, was 5/10 because there was no way to check battery level but they updated them last week so now long-press on the left button does that 10/10

The Bose ones even feel more well-made than the Sony and were €100 less

The noise cancelling on the Sony was slightly better but the Bose ones aren't as tight so that could be why

I will never, ever buy a set of headphones with touch sensors ever again

Hugh_Jeggs ,

Do the horses enjoy it tho

Hugh_Jeggs ,

That..... prompted Steffens, 30, the last remaining member of the 2012 team

Are you guys shooting your olympic teams too?!?!?

Hugh_Jeggs ,

Fern was absolutely brilliant in Taskmaster btw

Hugh_Jeggs ,

Tin? WTF

Hugh_Jeggs ,

You couldn't even write your spam yourself so you got an LLM to do it?

Fuck me that's hilariously pathetic 😂

Hugh_Jeggs ,

I mean, your average Lemmy user has skin the thickness of a cobweb, and a developmentally-stunted sense of humour from growing up watching bland American sitcoms

Unless the comments are coming with a laugh-track this can only go horribly wrong

(Insert /s here due to poor reading comprehension on one side of the Atlantic)

Hugh_Jeggs ,

Stick to UK based communities, every comment is read as sarcasm by default, it makes life so much easier 😂

Hugh_Jeggs ,

I love the idea. Feddit UK would be a good place for this, could see that taking off

Hugh_Jeggs ,

Don't blame me if it doesn't work, you talentless cunt

If I need an /s here you can pull one out of your arse

Hugh_Jeggs ,

Fun fact - Lemmy got his name because he was always borrowing money to feed his speed habit "Lemmy a fiver"

Hugh_Jeggs ,

Ha ha ask a yank to pronounce "squirrel" or "mirror" you'll get sqwrrrrrrl and meeeeer

Hugh_Jeggs ,

I have a Scottish name that starts with "Mc"

Every bank and government institution in France separates the "Mc" from the second part, resulting in lost records, odd looking bank cards, fucked up tax returns etc etc

Wouldn't change it for the world 😂

Hugh_Jeggs ,

Windows 10, duh 🙄

Hugh_Jeggs ,

Windows, definitely

Then if it gets too hot I could open them

Hugh_Jeggs ,

Just cancelled my prime today. I don't watch the video, just use it for delivery

It said "But you've save €247 with your prime account since the start!"

Over the last six years I've paid about €270 for the prime subscription

Fuck off Amazon

Hugh_Jeggs ,

(another year-ish)

Glad to hear the IBS is clearing up

Hugh_Jeggs ,

Must be. Reading the article, most of the problems the writer was having would be highly illegal in the EU. A company like Honda would definitely be aware of that

Hugh_Jeggs ,

TIL some people never heard of poached chicken. It's great if you poach it in really strong stock, comes out really moist. Great for shredding or chunks in salad

Hugh_Jeggs ,

10C does not rep Aokiji; and 30C for Suzaku is kinda insulting for everyone south of the 30th parallel.

The temperatures are literally the only things that make sense in this statement 😂

Hugh_Jeggs ,

To save anyone else the bother, I had to Google this to find out what the actual fuck OP is dribbling about

I'm about 95% certain he or she just watches too many Japanese cartoons

Hugh_Jeggs ,

And therein lies the problem ☝️

Hugh_Jeggs ,

If you think a shitty company like Tesla wouldn't instantly stop your car from working if you did that, you're even more gullible than your comment suggests

If 5k is the difference between a car you wouldn't buy and a car you would buy, you need to buy a car you can afford, not a car you want

Hugh_Jeggs ,

10k car go brrrr

15k car go brrrr

🤷

Hugh_Jeggs ,

The ones you buy in the EU 😂😂😂

Hugh_Jeggs ,

Did ye aye

What linguistic constructions do you hate that no one else seems to mind?

It bugs me when people say "the thing is is that" (if you listen for it, you'll start hearing it... or maybe that's something that people only do in my area.) ("What the thing is is that..." is fine. But "the thing is is that..." bugs me.)...

Hugh_Jeggs ,

Wait till you get to parts of northern England where they say "The car wants washing" 😂

Hugh_Jeggs ,

Birds or fruit?

Hugh_Jeggs ,

I always downvote posts with titles like this. Here's Why -

Hugh_Jeggs ,

I find most new BMWs look like a horse that's just snorted a line of dried piss
