On another note - does anyone else get insanely annoyed by this song? I can bear basically any of the typical Christmas songs, but for some reason this one just hits different.

Yeah, Iki was a loong time ago. Rimi has been the "main" grocery store for quite some time. Maxima has gathered a reputation of being a bit trashier, but also cheaper.

Didn't even notice I joined Lemmy a year ago, thanks!

I used it once when I noticed a hammock underquilt - something I'd been looking for (it's basically a thermal layer for your hammock so your butt doesn't freeze at night). For context, these can cost from 50€ to several hundred.

It did all the stupid prize wheel things and offered the typical bs it usually does. However it made me an offer - buy 6 items and the underquilt will be included free. It didn't specify any prices or the typical "cheapest item is free", so I bought 6 of the cheapest things I could find (something like 50 hair ties for 0.50€, a pizza knife for 1€ etc).

I got the underquilt (and some random things) for ~6€ and, surprisingly, it works extremely well, even for quite cold weather!

Never used the app again, though. After the initial offers to get you hooked, the prices are usually worse than buying locally or just using AliExpress.

I'm from Latvia. I have the app, but I don't believe for 1 second that it's the most downloaded one. Hell, half the country doesn't even like that grocery store and would much rather go to Rimi.

My student friend tells me that the auto-generated captions for non-English MS Teams lecture recordings recently have improved significantly and have even become usable.

Yeah, developers can't access those folders without some super specific permissions, so most just use the dedicated app folder.

Moments apart? Dude has a different shirt and is in a car.

Please, continue.

 

We were on a trip in Scotland and walking through a somewhat shady neighbourhood. These 2 kids were walking towards us and randomly passed a football to me, expecting me to pass it back.

Is this a usual occurrence? I have never had this happen in my country but I have seen it done for videos. I'm asking about the UK specifically because I feel like you guys have an interesting street football culture. Maybe I'm wrong and this is a normal thing in lots of countries.
