Something that I always wonder about people that live in these places is: what do they do for work? There’s barely anything around. My only conclusions are that they’re either retired, or farm workers.

It’s not like you have to upgrade your phone every year. People are on different upgrade cycles in which these devices will be a big upgrade.

I’ve lived in both halves along the bottom and it’s quite accurate. That said, a lot of people in Camarthenshire & Pembrokeshire seem to have quite southernly English accents but are Welsh, a lot are native Welsh speakers so that might give the impression that there’s a lot of English people there.

Driving through FUCKING NOTHING is amazing though, stunning views and countryside. I’ve no idea how the random pockets of people can live there though and not go insane.

So edgy

I’d like to see a sports specific instance (just something like lemmy.sport) so we could have all the sport communities on one instance, rather than all over the place, and also avoid the weird politics and who’s (not) federated with who issues.

e.g. !football@lemmy.sport

!formula1@lemmy.sport

Insurance must be the only industry that actively tries not to deliver the service that its customers pay them for.

South of Scotland is in Scotland. Same way the South of England is in England and the South of France is in France. This is the first time in my life I’ve heard someone make this claim before

Well, he could have been kicked out for worse.

I’ve decided to start getting up early on Sunday’s so I can get an early morning run in, and finding the runs a struggle. I’m doing 10k (my longest ever run is only 11km) but they feel a lot more difficult than they do when I run at mid-day or the afternoon.

This Sunday I was up at 5:30, had an overnight oats breakfast, waited about 45 to 50 minutes and headded out for 7am. My legs felt stiff and my upper thighs a bit sore - maybe I need to do more on my warm up than I normally would do?

I’ve been wanting to start pushing past the 10km barrier and work for more but I really struggled, nearly gave up after 7km but just kept going. I’m glad I did but disappointed that I couldn’t go further. Looking at Strava I’ve only done 9 runs that are 10km+ so maybe I’m being a bit hard on myself.

I did wonder if 10km was too short to have a gel, but I might consider it, at least for an early morning run. I haven’t tried having a gel yet so maybe I just need to experiment.

RVs are motorhomes that have an engine, gearbox etc. Caravan is something you tow behind another vehicle.

This post itself is mildly infuriating as I can’t tell what’s wrong in the picture!

I get my servants to hold one for me while I need it

I’ve lived outside cities all my life and never seen drive through bank.

Ran my first “early” (07:20 start) morning 10k on Sunday and it was hard work. I usually run at lunch time or in the afternoon and it just felt like my legs were made of stone, I was way off my usual pace.

Also not sure what to do about food at such an early time, especially when I want to start going longer than 10k. I obviously need something to eat but if I have too much then I’ll have to wait a couple of hours to feel comfortable. I just had a single slice of jam on toast and it was probably enough until about 8 or 9k where I really started to flag. What do people do?

It probably originated there but I think it’s just spread everywhere now. See loads of teens dressed all in black listening to drill music, some even with their faces covered as if they’re off to rob a bank.

A lot of car parks are becoming like this. It’s especially frustrating when you try to download the app but you have no signal and there’s no other way to pay.

He reminds me a lot of Michael Gove

Wayne Rooney endorses this

Ah right yeah that makes sense
