Hey.
I’m Dan. A 36 year old father of two who doesn’t have nearly as much time as he needs to do half the things he wishes he had the time to do.

SbisasCostlyTurnover@feddit.ukOPto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.ca•Does blowing on our hot food before we put it into our mouths actually make a difference to how hot it is?English4·1 year agoYou’re right. But in the interest of no stupid questions I thought I’d ask anyway, because…you know, what if?.
And thanks for the grammar lesson, I didn’t ask for that one but I’ll take it on board.

I think I saw a show 20 or so years ago that tried to debunk this and obviously either they messed up, or I wasn’t paying attention.
(The show was called Brainiac).

SbisasCostlyTurnover@feddit.ukOPMto Let's Talk About Games@feddit.uk•[Weekly Thread] What We're Playing for April 8th 2024English2·1 year agoI wish I could get into this, but it’s just not for me. Seems super cool and everyone seems to be so enamored with it…but I just couldn’t get it to stick.
Disney+ UK for certain. I’m not sure how it works out across other regions but I saw a Tiktok that said it was available worldwide.

SbisasCostlyTurnover@feddit.ukto [Outdated, please look at pinned post] Casual Conversation@lemmy.world•How is your week starting?English5·1 year agoI’ve stopped looking at my notifications on Reddit, it’s just too anxiety inducing for me. Thankfully I’ve not had that same problem here, although I’m sure it’ll happen eventually.
Hope you feel better.
SbisasCostlyTurnover@feddit.ukto House of the Dragon@lemmy.ml•*Permanently Deleted*English2·1 year agoI’m probably alone in this one but If I was going to do a rewatch I think I might jump in during episode five or something. That’s not to say there’s not some good stuff in the early episodes, but I feel like there’s also a lot of set up that I’m not sure I’d like to sit through again.
SbisasCostlyTurnover@feddit.ukto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Would you watch the earth form from nothing to the current time for 500.000 $?English3·1 year agoMaybe I could use that time to watch The West Wing? I’ve heard nothing but good things about it but…who’s got the time.
SbisasCostlyTurnover@feddit.ukto Casual UK@feddit.uk•Watching GoT yesterday and saw this.English5·1 year agoJoking aside, the scene where Tywin schools Joff on how no true king needs to say that he’s a king is peak GoT. Absolutely incredible writing, acting and production from all involved.
SbisasCostlyTurnover@feddit.ukOPMto Let's Talk About Games@feddit.uk•[Weekly Thread] What We're Playing for April 8th 2024English2·1 year agoI’ve spent my time continuing through, and then finishing my first run on the new Suzerain DLC.
Had a good time with it but I think it’s maybe not as… fully thought out as the games OG campaign was. That said, I’m definitely going back to it at some point because I made some frankly awful decisions and it all went wrong very quickly.
I was a bit worried about how well the Steamdeck would handle it but I actually found playing with the Decks touchpads to be preferable to the games gamepad mode.
SbisasCostlyTurnover@feddit.ukOPMto Let's Talk About Games@feddit.uk•[Weekly Thread] What We're Playing for April 8th 2024English1·1 year agoI just wish the Fury part of Bowsers Fury was a little less all consuming. The little open world they constructed was great, but I found the constant interruption from Bowser to be a little grating after a while.
SbisasCostlyTurnover@feddit.ukto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Would you watch the earth form from nothing to the current time for 500.000 $?English32·1 year agoI dunno, I could spend a good long while playing nothing but Football Manager if I didn’t have to worry about being anywhere else.
SbisasCostlyTurnover@feddit.ukto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Would you watch the earth form from nothing to the current time for 500.000 $?English9·1 year agoI mean, is this in real time because I won’t lie, I bet there’s an awful lot of ‘boring’ mixed in with all the amazing moments.
SbisasCostlyTurnover@feddit.ukto[Dormant, please move to !television@lemm.ee] Movies and TV Shows@lemm.ee•Caught the first two episodes of the new Apple TV show SUGAREnglish3·1 year agoI think Farrell suffered a similar sort of thing as Brad Pitt did in the 90s in that he’s super attractive…oh and he was in that bad Daredevil movie. Aside from that I can’t remember him ever being the reason a movie was bad, and whenever I see him he’s absolutely fantastic.
Won’t lie. Having a second was never something I expected to happen. I’m not sure either of us were ready for it and it’s absolutely gutted our sense of self, our relationship and our overall level of happiness.
That said we both absolutely love our two kids. We wouldn’t be without them and they make our lives so much more…full. It’s amazing to watch them play together, and to watch my eldest show genuine care for another human, and to watch my youngest learn and mimic his big sister.
It’s not been easy. I think we’d both admit that we’ve struggled with the transition from 1 to 2 in ways we never did form 0 to 1, and our youngest has been significantly more challenging than our eldest was, but even with that, he’s an absolute light in my world.

SbisasCostlyTurnover@feddit.ukto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Speedrun timers on self checkoutsEnglish5·1 year agoDon’t know about how it is in the US, but in the UK the idea of people rushing to finish their transaction fills me with dread. I’ve worked in a supermarket with self service and the general public really struggles with them.
I mean it was called Brainiac and it did have John Tickle walking on top of a pool of custard. Are you suggesting I was wrong to use that as my foundation for all knowledge??
