This is true. 😊

If sex is the question, I think yes (or thank you) is really the only appropriate answer…

Two of my favourites are:

• I’m touching cloth.
• Dropping the kids off at the pool.

Terrifying. I did mine nearly 30 years ago with nothing more than a couple of years of decent salary and the belief I’d be able to get a similar salary elsewhere if needed.

It worked out in the end. I’m in IT, and ended up working for a startup that floated and the monopoly moneyoptions became actual money, so was able to pay off my mortgage the year before COVID hit. It’s made things immeasurably easier.

Not sure how things would be in the current situation of gigs, near-zero job security, etc. Really feel for those of you in that boat. It suuucks.

But life goes on. Roll the dice and trust that you can make the best of it, I think?

Edit: Ask yourself if you want to keep paying off someone else’s mortgage and own nothing, or pay off your own.

Mezzanine is the gold standard for me, but always good to explore and expand.

I use Voyager on Android phone and iPad.

It’s not perfect, but it’s the least sucky Lemmy experience I’ve had so far.

Thanks, and for that Issue link. As you say, I expect it’s just nuking the cookie and everything related to it just disappears.

At least it’s on someone’s radar. :)

Edit: I sent a message to support, as suggested by slazer2au, and got a response pointing out that 30 days seems to be hard-coded into mlmym: https://github.com/rystaf/mlmym/blob/a518844b005179623d0d7a31f45966cd8a6b8a96/routes.go#L794

That and those settings all being stored client-side explains everything. Not sure why those choices were made, but now I know why.

If I’m sick in public and don’t know the cause (i.e. could be COVID), I’ll wear a surgical mask. If I’m in an environment where COVID/similar may be likely from others, I’ll wear an N95 mask.

I have boxes of each, left over from the coronalypse, so it makes sense to me.

Bananas. 30 minutes later it’s “hello fibre and potassium, time to visit the loo!” But seriously, there are so many great fruits.

Some from me: Blackberries are my hands-down favourite (and available everywhere in the wild in the UK autumn), raspberries, apples (so many varieties), navel oranges, mandarins, dragon fruit, watermelon, pears, rockmelon/cantaloupe, soft peaches (rare; most need a hammer and chisel), plums, damsons (in jam), and grapes.

Most level-headed reaction to the issue I’ve seen to date. Thanks for saying it.

If a company has had a decent record to date, I prefer to wait to see if they hang themselves with their own rope rather than rage quitting on insufficient information.

They’ve done some questionable things in the past that can be explained by over-zealous PMs and such, so I’ll wait to see how this plays out.

Saw that in the cinema and went into real (medical) physical shock at the kerb-stomping scene. I’d never thought of or seen that before. Holy crap, it shook me for hours after as I warmed up again, etc.

I suppose you adapt, as you don’t have an alternative nor a frame of reference of what “normal” is?

Like people born without a limb, or those who discover they’re double-jointed or hyper-extensive/-flexible when their classmates react at their ability to touch their thumb to their wrist.

It’s definitely curious and worth understanding.

I had a girlfriend who was born without this connective tissue between her brain hemispheres.

Other than being weird, for reasons that could be explained myriad other ways, she was able to control each eye independently when she wanted.

Watching her watch TV and me while I walked past was… odd.

Road Runner, Tom & Jerry, Wacky Races… I’ll still watch them if I stumble upon them.

Meep meep beats Acme Inc every time.

I’m from Australia, but now live in England.

Cereal? I’ve not really eaten it since I was a kid. But I always preferred something plain - without sugar or such. Weet(a)bix, porridge, or - if I had no other choice - Special K.

I’ve always hated sugary stuff before noon. Don’t ask me why. Meanwhile, my friends would pile tablespoons of sugar on their sugary super-sugar sugar puffs.

These days, I have a single slice of toast with butter. With a cup of tea (milk, no sugar). Perfection.

There were a couple for me:

I was young when Alien came out, but my grandfather had it on VHS soon after. Ermagherd. Still one of my favourites films.

Xtro.

But there’s one I’ll never forget. A woman on a boat, with a metal bucket tied to her belly, with a heat source underneath it, that contained a rat. The rat would do anything to escape the heat… and the film showed the process. I was probably 10 at the time, and it’s an image/predicament I’ll never forget. No idea what the film was called.

Now I’m thinking the classic Windows troubleshooting method is used by LG…

Ha, definitely a small world. Mine’s a 55UF770V.

I think this really is the best solution to news sites.

I self-host FreshRSS, make good use of its filters, and I can chew through headlines and articles in no time using the web view on a PC or mobile web.

My 9 year old LG smart TV (WebOS, but never connected to the network) will occasionally “overlay” RGB colour artifacts over the entire screen. There’s no pattern of time, day, on duration, HDMI source, etc.

It just occasionally happens, probably once every month or two. Putting it into standby and back on again fixes it every time. 🤷🏻‍♂️
