I was headed out early this morning and as I approached our village I saw what I thought was a flock of sheep loose in the road. Turned out to be a herd of goats. After much messing about they jumped over a hedge bank into a sheep field. I saw a lady walking her dog further on so let her know.
โOh theyโre so-and-soโs. Itโs the fourth time this week theyโve got out. Theyโre having the time of their lives!โ.

When a gang of brawny clowns went to the same brothel as the toughest firefighters in Toronto, and managed to beat them up, that was just the beginning.

How Swedenโs โsecondhand onlyโ shopping mall is changing retail
I sometimes use Etsy to seconhand shop from other nations. The results are still less expensive than buying new. My favourites have been a dress from Finland, a dress from France, and the most awesome, something Dr Who would wear vest from Italy.

This makes me think there are some very weird contradictions going on. Am I correct to think a parent in the UK could easily gift their child a mature game in a physical format, but not a mature Steam game? Would either even be illegal? Or only the Steam one because itโs digital?
It seems like all PC games are currently digital, but most console games are still available in a physical format. So a 13 year old could presumably be gifted mature games and could trade them with friends.
I think I heard that 16 year olds in the UK can enter bars? Can parents give a 16 year old alcohol? Iโd imagine that would be more harmful than gifting a 16 year old Halo 3.
Quick update:
There was a miscommunication concerning the future of ARM devices in the recent Mastodon post announcing the discontinuation of the PinePhone Pro.
New devices from PineStore will continue to come with ARM SOCs and will not be going away in favor of RISC-V models. Devices will continue releasing with variations like the PineTab2 and PineTab-V.
This should have been communicated earlier so we apologize.
Have a great weekend!
