Time for lunch

Bit late
I had lunch nearly two hours ago

It takes me a long time to eat anything
So I tend to leave long gaps between meals

I'm not sure that this makes sense
but ok

i have a restricted diet
as i'm missing 2/3rds of my stomach and about 6 feet of intestines.i very seldom take less than an hour to eat even a small meal and am usually not hungry for about another 6 hours, so my meal schedule is not what most people would call normal. i can't just eat sooner, i would be physically sick and might well end up in hospital.
even the chocolate truffles i had this morning, i only had 4, because i can't handle that much sugar without my body going into shock

Little and often, or healthy grazing
I think it's what people are supposed to do anyway

that would be a good idea
but i can't eat a lot of foods i used to eat, so i'm not getting the nutrients and vitamins i need. i'll be on supplements for life and, even just taking those first thing in the morning can bloat me so badly that i can't eat a thing until the evening

I've just got in, time for a beer and a joint. My new shovel cutlery arrived, very good quality, look great, fork is a bit small tho

how small

Not much bigger than a tea spoon , yet the spade and shovel are full size

I didn't know shovel cutlery was a thing

I've been trying to buy a bluray player on the ebay
every time I bid on this one, within 2 minutes I'm outbid, then within another 2 minutes I get a message to let me know that the last bid was retracted and I'm winning again. 3 times so far. Something's not right.

Physical media, how quaint

(, Sat 6 Feb 2021, 14:11, archived)
Oh I use non-physical media too,
but I do not believe it has any monetary value, and I don't believe you truly own anything intangible. If I'm going to buy a film (or album or whatever) it's got to be a physical object.

This attitude is why we have landfills

(, Sat 6 Feb 2021, 14:48, archived)
No. I'm not one for chucking stuff away when it could be repaired, sold, donated or recycled.

MusicMagpie has killed the second hand media market, and charity shops just throw stuff away if it doesn't move quickly

(, Sat 6 Feb 2021, 18:13, archived)
And the council here are incredibly picky about what goes in the plastics bin
they threaten to dump the entire cartload if there's even a hint of mixed materials or contamination anywhere, almost as if they're looking for a reason to not recycle any of it, of course there'll be at least one household somewhere on every round who hasn't rinsed out a tin properly
(, Sat 6 Feb 2021, 18:28, archived)
Never heard of MusicMagpie before. I've seen the charity shop outchucking first hand:
Very little actually gets chucked away, at least in my experience. Clothes, shoes, bags, books, dvds, cds, records, bric-a-brac and toys all get 'ragged' (sold by the kilo to a company who ID and sell good stuff and recycle everything else).

The resellable books and media make their way to undercutting cunts like WorldOfBooks, for example. I cannot begin to describe how much I hate WorldOfBooks, but they are keeping books out of landfills.

Eventually your council will consist of saner people who understand that they live on a planet, and they will change their recycling ethos and employ better people.

A 4k movie on SkyQ typically uses about 16gb of data
whereas a 4k disc uses around 80gb. The difference in picture quality is like chalk and cheese. Streaming is not a patch on having the disc.

If you're obsessing over pixels then the story's shit

(, Sat 6 Feb 2021, 14:51, archived)
No I'm not.
For example, Saving Private Ryan is a brilliant film but when you watch it on 4k disc it's like a completely different movie. It still has grain but it's like being there.

What does it cost the Earth to stream tv and movies?
I imagine maintaining 'the cloud' is less energy efficient than producing and transporting DVDs. It probably produces more waste heat too, since it has to be on all the time, while I can just leave a DVD in a box.
