Wait, what? My cat only spoons with me when I lay on my left side, so of course I prefer laying on my left side now. Does he know something I don’t??

• A seed box (Whatbox). I’m paying USD 15/month, and they’ve actually upgraded my storage and bandwidth twice now without any price increases. I think I’ve been using that for roughly 10 years now. At this point, it’s cheaper than any single streaming service, while allowing me access to basically every TV show and movie ever produced, and I can easily share my library with friends via Plex. Now that I have *aars, it’s very little effort to keep up with my favorite shows.
• Whatever the YouTube music thing is called now. I signed up when it was brand new, and while I occasionally consider going back to piracy for music, it’s just not worth the effort for me these days, but I am extremely opposed to ads.
• Amazon Prime. I should probably cancel, but I don’t have a car and definitely utilize the same day delivery quite often.
• Housing. Do mortgage payments & HOA fees count as subscriptions? Lol. I definitely get a lot of value out of housing, and appreciate the fact that I don’t have to wonder if my landlord is going to renew my lease each year.

I’m pretty sure we have blackberry jam, but I’m not much of a jam person, so I can’t say so from personal experience. Although if we have the berries, I can’t see why we wouldn’t also have the jam. Looks like blackcurrants is probably what you were thinking of, although they’re technically available in the US now.

That sounds quite terrifying! I’m in a pretty urban environment, so I don’t think there’s any bears hanging out on my usual routes, only coyotes, but I will keep that in mind whenever I venture out of the city.

We absolutely have blackberries. In my neck of the woods, there’s apparently 2 species of blackberries, one of which is highly invasive. I was going for walks about a month ago, specifically routed to pass by as many wild blackberries as possible, and they were very delicious!

I was living in a house with a few random housemates… people that I didn’t even meet until I had moved in. They were okay… nothing amazing, nothing too terrible. Somehow, the person I was on the date with realized that they used to know one of my housemates, and absolutely hated them, and wouldn’t stop talking about all of the reasons why my housemate was a terrible person.

I’ve somehow lost rolls to cats rolling in either direction, so my TP roll is now often found in the cabinet above the toilet.

They’ve been my go to for headphones & speakers for a while, but my last few purchases of different models all ended up getting returned due to the same connectivity issues. Sitting at home, the headphones are fine, but when I’m out for a walk, they experience some sort of interference that causes the music to skip/stutter. I still have an old, long discontinued, pair of Anker earbuds, and when I go for the same walk with those, there’s zero connectivity issues.

I’m not sure about compatibility with HA (saw this via /all), but I bought the Whynter ARC-14S and a Broadlink IR universal remote + sensor cable so that I could set up some automations and/or control the AC via my phone. I think any AC with an IR remote should work in that setup.

If you’re in an area that gets lots of poor air quality days while you’ll be running it (my area usually gets a few weeks of terrible air in August & September due to wildfires), a dual hose AC is definitely worthwhile.

While searching for pictures, I saw something saying that they’re supposedly still available for sale in Australia, so maybe there’s a chance they’ll get worn out before hitting the landfill?

Great job CNN… Didn’t think to include any pictures of the actual leggings?? They’re high rise, no underwear hanging out, just the seam shape and placement is similar to a “whale tail”.

Ummm… I might be misunderstanding something, but I feel like I’ve been able to do exactly that here. Are you using an app or browsing directly on the website?

The app I’m using (Thunder) allows me to block users, communities, or entire instances, and also has keyword filtering.

I still use Craigslist, but it does seem like fewer other people do. I’ve never really cared to get top dollar for whatever I list, I mostly just want to avoid tossing it in the garbage or hauling it to a donation drop off, and it’s worked well for that. I’m currently browsing for a few items, and it does feel cluttered with dealers, even when supposedly limiting it for sale by owner only.

I tried Offer Up once a few years ago, and for some reason, it didn’t notify me of any responses, so by the time I thought to check it again, I had already sold the item through CL. I refuse to use any Meta products, so FB Marketplace effectively doesn’t exist to me.

I’m a big fan of blue cheese:

• Water cracker, soft blue cheese, and a bit of hot (spicy) honey drizzled on top.
• Ramen with blue cheese crumbles melted into the broth.
• Avocado toast with blue cheese crumbles.

Any idea how things might be handled when things get crossposted? Will replies on the crossposted threads also become comments on their sites? Or only replies to the original post?

It was years ago, so my memory might not be perfect, but I had something that kinda did that. I think it was an Xposed module called GravityBox, and there was an option to limit repeat notifications. I had set a cool down period of probably 1 minute, meaning if I received multiple messages within 60 seconds, it would only notify once, but if I received another message 60+ seconds after the first, it would ding again. I’m pretty sure that the cool down period was customizable per app too. Damn, I miss that.

That I really have absolutely zero interest in smelling their buttholes. Also, I sometimes eat plants.

Yeah, I guess I just might be a crazy cat person.

I understand that air conditioning removes some moisture from the air, but just how much of an effect does it actually have on oral moisture? I was hoping to find some sort of studies with actual measurements of some sort.

Be mindful that … air conditioning nullifies the effects for cavities.

Got any sources for that? My admittedly very brief search just turned up a bunch of stuff about ventilation and COVID/aerosols.
