  • Are you not recording any activities / using any GPS?

    Obviously everyone has different use cases and experiences so I don't want to disregard other experiences it just seems so far out of reach for me compared to the experiences I have had across 5 or 6 different models of their watches over the years.

    I have mostly used different iterations of the forerunner range and a Vivosmart which was fucking trash IMO.

  • 10 / 15 days! No way. I have owned multiple garmin watches over the years and none of them have ever lasted 10 days, even when brand new. Even if you don't actually use them for recording activities I can't see them ever lasting that long.

    My current watch is admittedly 4 years old at this point so I expect some degradation but I average 3 recorded activities a day and the battery will last 3 days at the absolute best and that is running it down to like 2%

    I like garmin hardware but struggle to believe anyone is getting 10 days or more from a single charge!

  • This may be a stupid question, but how do you decide in what community to ask questions?

  • There has been some recent drama relating to the usual knee jerk defederation of an entire instance based on one admins personal opinion but I don't have any links.

    The dog shit admins / moderators aside my main issue is placing so many communities on that one instance just re-centralises things again and that is very bad for the fediverse as a whole imo

  • Whilst I watched a shit load of Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network in those days which was full of shorts too my memory of those isn't as good unfortunately but I'll keep an eye out for that post in the future in the hopes of some nostalgia!

  • Yeh I wasn't sure on that suggestion but then you had the likes of Courage, Billy and Mandy, Invader Zim etc so thought it was worth a punt.

    I feel like I have more rattling around in my head SK if I think of any more over the day I'll reply again. I grew up on that era of cartoons and have so many fond memories of them!

    Do you have Rugrats in there, I feel like that is an obvious choice I can't see

  • What is the fantasy book/series everyone should read?

    Jump

  • Brandon Sanderson books, specifically the cosmere stuff are all pretty fucking good.

    My favourite is probably Mistborn but I know a lot of people prefer The Stormlight Archives. All worth reading!

  • This just shows how different everyone is though. The only trips I regret are the ones where I have gone with other people. Travelling with other people is the fucking worst for me and it just ruins any trip having another person there with me, no matter the relationship.

    OP is gonna need to try both though to get a feel for what they like.

  • Switch emulator Eden is surviving life after Nintendo kicked it off GitHub

    Jump

  • I feel the same but what it comes down to for me is I hate Nintendo IPs and for the most part it is the Nintendo games that bring people to their consoles.

    Pretty much everything else is available elsewhere. Or at least that is the impression I get. Does the console have any noteworthy exclusives that aren't Nintendo characters.

    Pokemon would be the main thing that appealed for me too but I liked red, blue, stadium and that was about it. I didnt play much after that and what I did didnt stick so I think I'd have similar feelings to you towards the new ones.

  • For food I cooked using a gas type stove or I also had a portable rice cooker type thing that I could cook rice as well as soups or stews or that type of thing in.

    Cleaning I used a combination of a gym membership to a nationwide chain and used their showers, used family members showers if I was near to them and sometimes I'd have a baby wipe shower if I was really in a pinch and needed a basic clean.

    Entertainment the same as I do in a house but just in a lot more energy conscious fashion. I run and cycle a lot so that was easy and I could run a lot of different places.

    I had a small solar panel as well as the alternator charging a decent sized battery setup that I had hooked up to USB ports as well as a power inverter to convert to AC power so that way I could charge a laptop as well as devices.

    So I had my phone to watch videos or listen to music on etc and then a laptop I could play games on or ran my DJ setup reliably. I had many options, I just always had to be conscious of batteries. I'd always have the laptop charging whilst I was on the move as the engine would make an abundant amount of electricity and then I could charge the laptop a few times if needed from the battery or trickle charging from the solar. So yeh, I had plenty to do.

    I also smoked a lot of weed in combination of those things xD

    I miss that life tbf, houses are over rated but it is also nice to always have a hot shower and stuff. Advantages of both

  • Yeh a lot of people do but I bought my van for 2 grand which was basically 2 months rent. There is definitely some anxiety in terms of I hope this shit doesn't break down as it is also my house but then owning or renting a house also comes with different anxieties based on different things and the constantly moving around part I loved.

    I am UK based and just parked where ever I wanted to a point, as long as I was following the sign posted rules for parking up no one would say shit, parking is a civil matter here anyway so even if I had chosen to park somewhere that I was supposedly not meant to it isn't technically illegal if it was public land and the cops aren't coming out to do anything about it.

  • That must be a US thing, aside from the initial cost of the van I saved an absolute shit ton of money living in a van full time and never had to worry about where to park or ever pay for parking.

    It certainly isn't free but it is affordable as fuck compared to disgustingly high rent prices.
