I'm off to strain the spuds.

I'd never really considered that people might not have seen coal burn.

In Ireland both coal and turf are still fairly common as the primary method of heating. That said they are "trying" to phase it out.

IRC is where it's at. In the many years I've been using it to download books there's only been a handful of books I've been unable to find.

Do you have any experience with how CBD work coming from the perspective of a heavy smoker?

I worked the extra hour which is overtime.

I buy physical copies of anything I'm likely to reread. I prefer physical books but if I want to fit everything I read into my flat I'd need to throw out bot my partner and everything we own.

Herself(my partner) on the other hand buys books she never intends to read. She'll buy books with pretty looking spines or covers. Or she'll buy something she enjoyed before but doesn't intend to read again as a physical reminder of the emotions she experienced whilst going through it the first time round.

These opposing purchasing priorities have resulted in an 8 year argument which I have dubbed the Bookshelf Schism.

I should also note that I typically have at least 3 or 4 copies of the Hobbit at any given time on the off chance I can convince someone to read it for the first time.

Are banking apps likely to function?

I still use it for a couple of hobby related things although I could probably use discord for some of it.

Whilst I am using lemmy it's not quite hitting the spot so I use it less. I'm getting an awful lot more reading done.

I live in Ireland and was fairly slow to adapt to this cashless mularkey but my mind was blown when visiting Germany how many places were cash only.

I wouldn't necessarily say shills. I can't say I know the ins and outs of app development but I'm sure it could come about that a particular dev doesn't have the know how or capital to start a new project.

What I do know is that I've worked for companies who's morals I don't approve of to make ends meet.

I'll second that. Firefly meets mass effect minus all that distracting gun fighting mularkey. World building and character development all the way. A solidly enjoyable read.
