Its not pronounced randevou though, more like ron-day-voo

Literally said how its spelt though? Am I missing something?

Feddit.uk went down for a bit and no one knows why. We're seemingly back now though.

There is only one fully privileged admin (the original owner), and they're not super present. We have two other admins but they're restricted in what they can do (don't have access to the server itself I think?, can't upgrade).

A couple of users are setting up a new UK lemmy instance in response to this situation. One of those users is very keen for it to be a replacement, hence the posts. Not everyone is on board with it though. It's been put in hold while they iron some things out.

It's not an "official" replacement for feddit.uk in that sense, but it's another UK instance.

I've seen them called digital gardens, because they like something you maintain and let grow with no specific purpose.

Boo, one of my favs. Obligatory "fuck Nestle" though.

I've been saying this for months. He strikes me as not being in it for his party, his country nor his political legacy. He's doing everything for himself and his business connections.

Sometimes hearing other peoples opinions can spoil something for you. I'm kind of glad I've never found any online communities based around Xanth now, because that's never even crossed my mind, and I'm sure there are many others that would do the same, where it's just some fun, silly story books from my childhood for now.

I remember the character, but I mostly read ones that happened after him (the series spans multiple generations).

I think his name began with a B. I may try to dig through them and find the name of the book.

I came here to say both of these for the same reasons.

I read them both after reading some people saying they changed their lives on reddit. Siddhartha had some effect on my I still can't pin down, bit changed how I looked at my life.

Oh my god. I've never heard another human being reference this series or be aware of this series.

My mum read them when she was a girl and passes them down to me when I was a kid. For my 30th birthday, she hunted down the whole collection for me and now it's one of my most prized possessions.

Looks like it hit that guy right in the lower back. What would one of those grenades do to someone like that? Would it kill them?
