Most “pranks” are just a) terribly unfunny, b) actually bullying by another name, or c) both.
If we could just keep the rare good ones I’d be all for it, but alas!

I’m sure anyone reading this in the UK is already aware of MSE but just in case: https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/savings/savings-accounts-best-interest/#easyaccess
A quick glance suggests most of those really high ones are time-limited bonus offers, but other places are doing quite high interest in general e.g. Marcus is paying 4.75%.
Not these ones you can’t, soz
No but it has a hashtag and a very sarcastic community who all watch the reruns together on a Friday.
This time last year, the night before our wedding, we stayed at a cheap hotel 15 minutes away from home, ate pizza in the room and watched Top of the Pops with Mastodon. So tonight to celebrate the fact that we somehow survived the year we’ll be staying in a cheap hotel 15 minutes away from home, eating pizza in the room and watching Top of the Pops with Mastodon.
Also despite me being middle aged now, my mam and grandma sent us a ton of chocolate. So that’s the rest of the weekend accounted for.
Happy Easter everyone!
Edit: haul
There’s one doing this right outside my bedroom window as we speak, just woke me up earlier than necessary on a bank holiday.
Mi esperas, ke li estas eterne sola 😒
It probably depends on which language you’re learning and whether there’s a good deck available but I’ve moved onto flashcards with Anki.
The main problem with Duo (before all of its current problems) used to be that it didn’t really give much context unless you were on the full website and clicked through to read the grammar rules, but the card deck I’m using for basic Spanish has all of that built in and visible from the start so it’s been a good foundation on the language.
I’ve also heard excellent things about something called the “pimsleur” method but that seems expensive to access through official means. I’m sure there are other ways to try it out, of course…
Kept it going for a while, making sure to take a day off once a month to avoid building another stressful streak. But I kinda got to the end of its usefulness and wandered off to other things.
Just started learning Spanish and I thought about firing it up again but the app is such a mess these days I actually can’t face it.
Edit: Remember getting rid of the streak doesn’t actually lose your “progress” in learning the language, which is presumably the important part. It’s just a meaningless number. You can do it!
Ngl that damn streak took over my life at one point, I was over 1000 days and climbing. Decided one day to just…let it go on purpose. To no longer be caged by the tyranny of the owl.
Highly recommend it, the sense of freedom is unreal.
Me too :(
I moved to Raccoon which I’m hopeful will eventually have all my fave features from other apps but we’ll see.
Starting my day off with this absolutely cursed image, thank you OP.
People! It’s only the best game ever made, go play it immediately.
OP, you got tons done since I last saw this, excellent work! So excited to see it in its final form.
One thing you could look into is buying a kit, whether online or from a local craft shop. Something quite small would be best, so you can get the satisfaction of completing something and then decide if you enjoyed it or not.
You don’t need a ton of stuff to get started, as the other comment says it’s really just some fabric, a needle and floss and then some kind of pattern. But buying it as a kit can be good for absolute beginners just for the convenience factor and knowing you’ve definitely got the right stuff.
It’s certainly a very satisfying craft :D
If bright colours were your goal you may have picked the wrong pattern, haha. Great progress though!
At least they’re just a few stitches each! I mean, how wrong could metallics possibly go? 👀
I’ve thought about it an uncomfortable amount and decided you might be right.
Yeah this is a normal phrase in British English too. Today you learned!
