Thinking about it, I would not put it past me to have set it and forgotten 😂 it's been a while since I played about with the settings!

You convinced me, I'm totally adding this today! :)

I also would throw in sponsorblock to that too - it skips all the "but first, Raid Shadow Legends..." "don't forget to like share and subscribe" nonsense :)

edit: thank you, I just poked into YouTube Revanced, and found DeArrow was on! This explains why I didn't like youtube's content when on my PC, so I'll 100% be adding this to Firefox! :)

Aw, but I love my Yammy! 15 years on and it's the only guitar I know will just take whatever dumb tuning I want to try, and it sounds okay doing it! :) poor little guy gets played as much as my nice ones!

Aw! That's an instrument I've not thought of for some time! I did a whole presentation on this creature at Uni, and made a javascript version that might still work, at least on desktop! :)

Nice!! I had no idea this was a cover! :) A new band to check out, I really like the original version! :) Thank you for posting this

According to Wikipedia's track listing, it was Sappy (which might at the time have had the name "verse chorus verse") :)

If you absolutely insist I listen to Doolittle again... fiiiine! :)

[–] GoOnASteamTrain@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 weeks ago

Oh nice!! Thank you so much!

That's quite close by, and a visit is in order! :)

Thank you! This is going to sound daft, but I had forgotten steam allows you to uncheck DLC like that! :) it's so rare that I'd opt-out (in fact this might be the only time I have needed to!) :) thank you again

I have a video of a news piece showing a penguin happily waddling around in a Japanese neighbourhood wearing a Pingu backpack. It is an important video, it makes the world happy for a few minutes. :)

That's impressive! :) You wouldn't happen to know anything about the Milton Keynes one would you? I've been searching and couldn't find any links, but would love to go and visit it! :)

I have heard some wacky migraine treatment techniques, and thought if anyone is on here, it could be a potentially interesting light-hearted thing to discuss.

Reddit swore by McDonald's fries (salt intake?), but what prompted me to think to post this was my new DIY "heat treatment" for retinal migraines.

I like warm or cold things on the pain, and cooling strips etc are sold as migaine treatments. So one day I figured blasting my eye pain with a hair-dryer was worth a punt because why not?

Instantly pain free! I swear by it, it is temporary relief like I have never had before! The internet says heat possibly tricks pain receptors, I say dumb method works! I thought this was funny enough to share.

With this tale out the way, what are Lemmy's wacky migraine superstitions or unorthodox migraine strategies?

Edit: blasting one's face with a hair dryer is not medical advice! I am just a moron on the internet, and this is purely anecdotal
