Eastern and Western US work ideals clash all the time. I’m in CO and we are definitely a we work to play state not we live to work and I haven’t seen an actual suit worn by anyone other than a lawyer around here, even at church. As soon as someone from the east coast shows up it’s painfully obvious. We don’t have much tolerance for their go, go, go ways and usually show them a great time and a relaxed vibe to relax them a bit. They’re always perplexed at how we can perform so well with such a relaxed attitude. Doesn’t usually click that it’s correlated.

They still made them too. 130V bulbs / garage bulbs / heavy duty bulbs all lasted far longer on 120V because the filament was thicker. They basically never went out.

Oh hell no. You don’t remember it coming out and everyone complaining about how convoluted it was. Pepperidge farm remembers.

@PugJesus@lemmy.world does an amazing job posting interesting things in the historical communities. The above is my favorite so far.

Nope

It does, it’s just not consistent. Mlem is. I still have Voyager and check it every once in a while.

I loved Apollo and appreciate Voyager but it doesn’t respect hiding read posts very well so I turned to Mlem which is my favorite. The v2 beta is even better, adding easy markdown formatting and some nicer UI enhancements (the vote counter scrolling up or down on vote is a nice touch).

I’ve never thought of APFS as slow. Didn’t realize it was.

That’s why it’s still being used. Not a major reason to move on for MS.

Sad to see APFS not on the list (I know why, just wanted to compare).

lol. Wow.

Ohhhhh man. My friend’s father used to drive a Tempo to work. That thing was a steaming POS.

Oh look! A Wikipedia article that answers that.

Of course there’s theories out there that say there’s a lot more water in the earth than we’ve been able to calculate.

Real answer is that our best educated guesses are still that.

This is an excellent idea.

If you really want to help and they want you to be on your own (and probably are enjoying their solitude) this is a neat way to do so. They don’t want help now but they may in the future.

Though, as a parent myself, I’m guessing they’d want you to save for yourself and realize they can take care of themselves. Good parents want what’s best for their children without thinking of themselves, it’s a sacrificial relationship.

However, what they do want is a continuing relationship. Call or meet with them regularly. Take pictures of you and your adventures. If you decide to start a family send them plenty of pictures of the grandkids and have dinner with them regularly if you’re close by.

This is a very true concept.

We recently built a house in a neighborhood that purposely has no privacy fences, it’s open concept. All of our yards have low cedar fencing you can clearly see through. This encourages neighbors to actually get to know one another. It works; I haven’t felt this connected to people since I grew up playing with the neighborhood kids. Everyone living here feels the same way. Oh and I’m an introvert. I just realized that continual isolation is not great for mental health.

Get out there and actually ask how your neighbor is doing and be interested in their response. Be willing to help. You’ll feel better than you have in a long time. We are social creatures and need that. Feel like the world is collapsing? Then get out of your own way and help someone else. It’s a feeling you can’t buy. The richest people are those that have the most connections. They’re usually the happiest and most mentally stable too. It all starts by being willing to say how’s it going? Where are you from? What brings you here? Everyone has a story and we all love to talk about ourselves. It just takes some longer than others to open up.

I have an elderly retired neighbor that sits in front of his house most days and hands dog treats out to the dogs being walked by. He knows all of them and their owners. He’s made some awesome connections and friends. Everyone knows him and when someone is in need he isn’t afraid to ask the other neighbors to help. It’s a great relationship with someone others would see as a nosy neighbor. For us he’s a connection to other neighbors we haven’t met yet due to time at work, etc. He’s one of my all time favorite people just because he actually cares about us all. Be that person. You can do it!

Stick Figure - World on Fire. Beautiful ear worm.

Opener. Opens things in the app you want when iOS won’t.

Pretext. Markdown and Plain Text Editor for iOS. Simple and works. Can’t beat that.

Appreciate the heads up. Will watch.

Roblox. If you were there in the beginning then you know how empty it was. Now, that’s mostly what my son plays to what just make the most money/things? I don’t get it myself (I’m old, lol).

Makes sense to me. Open office designs SUCK. I share an office with 2 other people and I’m much, much more productive in my home office with 3 kids in the house because I can shut my door, be alone with my thoughts, and be productive.

Balance bikes were the OG bicycle so they have it backwards.
