Also UK and similar, except our council has five categories:
General refuse
Paper and cardboard
Other/mixed recycling (plastic, metal, glass)
Compostable food waste
Garden waste (optional, at additional cost)
Food waste is collected every time, but the others alternate each week between either general refuse + paper or just mixed recycling.
If you pay for garden waste collection, it gets picked up once every two weeks during ‘gardening season’, or once a month during the winter.
We also don’t get wheelie bins - you have to provide your own general refuse container. Many people don’t bother and just leave loose bin bags out, which sometimes results in foxes scattering rubbish all over the street. Recycling goes in plastic crates and food waste in a caddy, which are provided by the council.
UK here. Pretty similar to the US in most respects, I think? But we have Christmas pudding, the queen’s king’s speech on telly, and Boxing Day on the 26th.
My wife is Belgian, so in our house we combine the otherwise conflicting traditions of when to open presents: most stuff gets opened at midnight, in the European fashion, but then we save the smaller ‘stocking filler’ gifts until the morning. Best of both worlds!
Obviously you’ll want to start with absolute basics like mouse and keyboard navigation.
Beyond that? Maybe something involving a ‘treasure hunt’ to learn about navigating files and folders, renaming files, and copying vs. moving them.
Anecdotally, I’ve heard lots of kids coming up now really struggle with the concept of file systems, so it’s definitely something worth teaching early.
I still don’t really understand why there’s so much attention on expensive smart bulbs when in most situations the best solution would be regular bulbs linked to a smart switch.
You don’t need an Apple Account to use a MacBook and never have - it’s only required for specific services like if you want to use iCloud or the App Store.
I maintain that Cake has never released a bad album, but Race Car Ya-Yas on Fashion Nugget is absolute crap. A festering boil on the face of an otherwise unblemished body of work.
Børnich admitted that much of the work will be done by teleoperators in the beginning. Owners will have access to an app where they can schedule when the teleoperator can take over NEO and where they can specify the task they want the machine to do.
Sales figures and market trends suggest most people do not, in fact, want a keyboard.
You might want a keyboard on your phone. Lots of people here might want a keyboard on their phone. People on Lemmy are not most people.
