My wife says cream cheese and fruit jams/preserves.

Air fryer as well. Sometimes faster than a conventional oven.

A cozy EP, one that you can usually hear in jazz, fusion, and r&b.

An 8-string guitar with a clear heavy djent tone, like Meshuggah, Tesseract, and Animals As Leaders.

Freshman year. Me and a guy from another class got pulled in by the guidance counselor. He told us some girls from a higher year told him we brought porno mags to school. We were literally just a few months into high school and I barely knew the other guy. Maybe that was their idea of a prank? Anyway, nothing came out of it fortunately.

QR coding everything. It has it uses and is practical in certain use-cases, but don’t use it everywhere.

Lower back specifically. Sneezing, not sitting straight on the couch even for just a few minutes, lying prone for an extended period, etc.

We have our very own Karen in our neighborhood. She’s the type who’s always mad in the neighborhood group chat. Like saying she has her husband kill any snake they see because she hates them, even though other people were saying some snakes aren’t venomous and actually help with keeping rats at bay. There was also a time where I mentioned outdoor cats (there is one in our neighborhood), while great at controlling rats, can also potentially decimate other wildlife like birds, etc. And she just scoffed and said she doesn’t care. Whenever someone alerts the group that there are suspicious people walking around or something, she always responds with “locked and loaded” or “shoot first before asking”, etc.

Anyway, if there’s one thing the entire neighborhood, including the Karen, is united in, it’s our hate for the useless corporate HOA. So on that front, I’m fine letting her loose on the HOA. We had the annual HOA meeting recently and while homeowners were taking turns airing their grievances on zoom, the Karen was blasting the neighborhood group chat because she couldn’t figure out how to unmute herself or type into the zoom chat lmao. So all she could do was swear in the group chat and telling us she was shouting at the HOA that they were liars, etc. even though nobody could hear her. Anyways, it wouldn’t have been productive if she could speak in the meeting because she’ll just swear and bitch at them, instead of the cooler heads who were making sure the HOA takes notes and commits to fixing the issues with timelines. We had lawyer and accountant homeowners who were more productive in getting what we needed.

Fantastic! Been waiting for this for a long time.

The calendar view can’t be configured to fit a full 24 hour day and you have to scroll.

But can it djent?

What’s up with the carpet on the ceiling?

I assume MS-DOS.

those walls are thin.

I’ve seen pictures of buses that accidentally fall off a steep road or cliff and basically fold like a flattened cardboard box.

A belt-like loofa that you hold on both ends and pull from side to side.

Thunder is cross-platform. For desktop UIs, I prefer Alexandrite because of its 2-column layout option that maximizes screen real estate and allows one-tab browsing.

I chose lemmy.zip because it has similar fed/defed policies as lemm.ee.

• Your saved posts and comments are included in your exported settings along with your subscriptions. I was happy to discover that when I did it yesterday.

• Most instances say where they are based in their instance description. If not, you can do a whois lookup to see the general area they are in. Another option is asking in the meta community of the instance.

• Similar to the second point above, most instance owners are transparent with their infrastructure and the ones who are running small servers as hobby projects usually put it as a disclaimer.

As long as it’s on the clock, everything is paid for, there’s food and drinks, not on a Friday, it’s an activity that everyone can partake in, and not mandatory, I’m ok to join some extracurricular activities from time to time.

Probably yeah. To be fair, I came from .world when I moved to .ee 2 years ago because of the almost daily downtime, so it’s a pretty low bar. I feel .ee has been performing exceptionally well since then though, and I immediately felt the difference when I moved to .zip. Not a knock on .zip though, I do like it here.

I chose .zip as well. Other pluses aside from similar federation principles:

• Isn’t involved with the big instance infighting
• Uses the latest version of lemmy
• Defederated from Threads
• The admin is transparent with the instance maintenance

Did you notice how .ee was noticeably faster? Really shows the exceptional job the .ee admins did.
