    I’m sure it was great but I gotta say this arrangement of foods and the lighting and the white balance have come together to make the weirdest image. It’s somehow really unreal. It’s like an artist’s impression of food. I think it’s mainly the colour and lighting, the avocado is somehow so green it looks almost fake, and the bacon is somehow purple and then the unexpected left turn with the boiled eggs when my brain saw “bacon and eggs” in the title and built an expectation for the typical fried eggs.

    Anyway, this is no critique of the food, hope it was good, it sounds good. The image is just somehow hilariously incongruous and strange.



  • Do I misunderstand emby or does it just not seem like a good deal on the basis of it being an ongoing subscription? I use the free version of emby and it’s really great. There was at least one feature that required payment to unlock. I like emby already and when I tried using jellyfin, the core features that were on both it and the free version of emby worked far less reliably and the paid feature on emby that was free on Jellyfin, worked extremely unreliably. Obviously resources and development had been spent to make something that worked very well and their paid feature probably would too. I use emby to make it easier to cast media locally to my chromecast and to access media on my computer, from my phone in my bedroom, so for me, it’s a fancy file browser and media player. The feature I wanted was to do with free to air tv streaming and I was thinking I’d be happy to pay for the Emby software to unlock this since they made good software that works. But here’s the thing, it’s FREE to air TV and yet they want me to pay, ongoing, in a perpetual arrangement to use it. I don’t get it. I use it to play media, but the media is my media stored on my machines. I understand software development isn’t free, I was happy to pay ONCE, but why would I keep paying when they don’t actually produce the media I use it to play? That seemed unjustifiable.



  • Why doesn’t the damaging and hot particulate matter in smoke do any harm to or otherwise clog up their spiracles like it does to the inner lining of lungs? I gather lungs are wet and also very delicate, but if they’re directly oxygenating their organs through these spiracles eventually it must get to somewhere wet and delicate for the smoke to get in and potentially harm.







  • Just never gets old. Classic. Still I’d miss the bacon and the toast is a bit anaemic. I’d wolf it down if it was put in front of me though. Tomatoes look decently cooked too which is rare to see, I also like your double egg going on I like to do that sometimes. Is that blood sausage of some kind? I don’t get to include that very often as it’s not commonly sold where I am so I usually just have the typical Cumberland sausages. I personally like to have this dish with potato farls as well as toast because I just love my carbs so much. I recommend. Anyway hope you enjoyed it, got a craving for an English breakfast now.

    I particularly hate those airblade things even more than regular air dryers. I like that they’re faster and typically not as gross and warm but they are designed in a way where you feed your hand in to a narrow gap with powerful air jets in front of and behind your hands in this gap. Your hands are not a completely uniform symmetrical shape, so the jets buffet your hand around and they inevitably touch the parts of the device where the jets are located, right where everyone else has had the same thing happen. It grosses me out.
