Rusian infantry running away from Klishchiivka are blasted by artillery. in c/ukraine@sopuli.xyz

Ugh, in the wars of history if you were retreating from the front lines there was at least some hope that unless you got really unlucky you might improve your chances of survival. Now with drones on overwatch it seems like you're as likely to catch a shell when you're trying to get away as when you're right at the front.

Seems like a bad place to be an invader in someone's sovereign territory doesn't it?

Happy Mondays - Kinky Afro [1990] in c/alternativenation@lemmy.world
[–] themaxmethod@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Fantastic band! If you've never seen it before, I'd really recommend watching 24 Hour Party People which is a biopic about Tony Wilson, the guy who signed the Happy Mondays.

Can you drive a manual transmission? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] themaxmethod@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Yes, early 40s from the UK so most people here learn in a manual car. I drive electric now so it only has forwards and backwards to choose from. Can't say I miss the old manual much, it's just so much more chill driving an auto.

If it's any consolation it still isn't much better in the UK. My gift from work to celebrate the birth of my child was two weeks off - one at full pay and one at statutory paternity pay level. Welcome to the world new human, here's your pay deduction!

Could we collapse whole comment threads instead of leaving the top comment visible? in c/syncforlemmy@lemmy.world
[–] themaxmethod@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Ah brilliant, thanks so much! So many options to choose from so I didn't spot this one.

Could we collapse whole comment threads instead of leaving the top comment visible? (lemmy.world)
 

When I've read a comment thread and want to skip to the next one it's a bit annoying having the top comment still there even though the thread is collapsed, especially when it's a comment such as the TLDR bot.

Could we have the option to collapse threads leaving just the commenter name and an option button to reopen the thread if needed?

Definitely noone needing to ask what this one means 😂

I love his simple gags like this, he's always done them so well. Loved my books of Larson cartoons when I was a kid.

Fucks sake. The kids there break my heart. Wish Putin would die already so we can stop this madness.

What's a good podcast you like? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] themaxmethod@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

The Greatest Generation: a Star Trek podcast by a couple of guys who are just a little bit embarrassed to have a Star Trek podcast. Ben and Adam watch an episode of Star Trek and discuss it with lots of dumb jokes. Worth listening from the start!

Poor guy. He got totally fucked over because of bullshit prudes jumping on his private life when he hadn't done anything wrong. RIP Pee Wee

Replacement for Dove soap? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] themaxmethod@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

If you're in the UK/Europe I'd recommend Mitchell's Wool Fat soap. It's another one containing lanolin like Dove but I find it nicer on my skin. Might be able to get their stuff in the US too - you can definitely buy their shaving soap there.
