“Dude, stop eating your fork, the second course is coming soon.”

Can’t, I have cats that like to drink it. I still do the task I just don’t like doing them after I eat, I don’t want to smell food anymore, lol. I do them at the end of the day. I rinse them though.

Dishes after a good meal. Any other time I don’t mind but after I eat a good meal I want to relax.

In the US, 988 has a warm line. They get a bad rap but if you call, wait and ask for the warm line during the day, they will call back within 48 to 72 hours to talk about anything for a half hour. For when you are not in a crisis, but still need to talk. If you ever are, look up crisis numbers in your area.

The pros don’t outweigh the cons. Because the cost and the fact that the inconvenience of a special design is harder to stack vertically that well, unless you consider a hexagonal pattern of arrays.

I keep mine on 64F room temp and hover around that. I use fans in the heat and portable heaters in the cold. But I heard keep it just below 70 in the winter and just above 70 in the summer to have a better bill.

I could just find it free online.

I will have to check that one out. I heard of it.

Oh, wow. That is unsettling.

I bet. I was thinking about buying a survival book or two.

I gotta grow my own food now. It is time to break out the off-grid post-apocalyptic survival books for me, I guess. Can’t be too hard, rightttttt!?

I had a “vacation” just now got back from a week long mental hospital stay. Glad to say I am better and glad to be back on Lemmy. What brought me back? I missed it the whole time. Told everyone about the Fediverse too. You could say it was an… obsession.

Abusive and harassing language is against most social media TOS. It doesn’t matter who the comments are for, it is still valid. Also, don’t use X.

See, I have ebooks I want in audio, so I have to settle for ‘robot’ android voice when there is no ‘audiobook option’

Any good podcast recs? Any genre/subject is fine.

I agree. I used the term ‘marijuana aficionado’ because I hang out with those who exclusively smoke bud straight up from the dispensary. I don’t get involved with other types of users.

There is research and papers showing that heavy music in general can actually be therapeutic and make someone calmer, rather than the perceived opposite effect. It can be a great outlet. I listen to metal, heavy music, all the time but when I have used it as a coping mechanism, i.e. an outlet for stress, it has definitely allowed me to release such tension. Not only that, but singing/screaming to vocals along to the music surely does release all of energy, and while there are outsiders who might perceive the music as ‘angry’ the incorrect connection they’re making is that anger is an energetic emotion, as in unreleased energy/tension. Metal isn’t angry music, it is energetic. That is why it makes such good workout music. It stimulates and satisfies that part of our lives, letting us be some of the ‘nicest, most wholesome and fun people all around’.

Marijuana Aficionados. I’ve been straight edge my entire life but always hung out with them. Now, it is more common since legal restrictions have been lifted. The community in general is well, chill.
