Endymion / Rise of Endymion was a great sequel too

I'm at a loss with this one

Fun puffin fact: Puffins have conservative family values and mate for life, raising a single chick (adorably called a puffling) in the same burrow each year

Seeing puffin on restaurant menus in Iceland after learning this was a bit concerning

Thunder breathing, first form

I'd have lost 90% of my hype if it wasn't announced

I pay for 5g in London with EE with an LTE phone

I've turned it off - it's too unreliable even 3 years later... Feels like 1 bar of 5g spends an age trying to get a connection, then slowly reverts to 3 bars of 4g, which is ultimately just worse than just using 4g

Could just be my oldish phone, or the concrete jungle, but feels like shite to me

Woah there, corporate informs me this is insensitive to Lemmings

Lemmy HR will be in touch

Punk goes pop - was the soundtrack of my teens

Lemmy tickles the same part of my brain without all the corporate bs - less content makes me scroll less, but less toxicity makes it worth it

I feel like Ive found my people and I ain't leaving

Offer accepted on a listed c16 farmhouse in q4 2021, after thinking about the original 3y fix mortgage we lined up, I convinced the wife to put up all the profit from the last house, the entire renovation budget (as well as a bunch of profit from a potentially foolish foray into $GME) to get to 75% LTV and a 10y fix on just over £500k @ 1.7%

It took until July 2022 to complete, managed a big discount on offer price due to some confusing wording on the estate agents listing (and the vendors being a bit silly and telling us they needed to sell ASAP cause they were getting a divorce) but managed it before the mortgage offer expired

I'll be almost 40 by the time i need to worry about payments going up, and we'll have way more equity by then - safe to say I'm pretty chuffed

An Endymion trilogy with bits of Hyperion sprinkled in for flavour would be perfect
