Haircut Adventure

I booted up my Great Clips app and found that I was signed out for some reason. I went to sign in and couldn't remember my sign in info. Did I use my Yahoo email address? Was my account through Google? I checked the site via Chrome to see if login info auto populated. No such luck. I checked my raw text note with a bunch of login users and passwords for not sensitive stuff to see if I put it in there. Nope. I checked to see if I could just check in for my haircut without logging in. I could have, but I'd have to give them my phone number and they'd text me spam, plus I'd have to tell them in person what I wanted instead of them telling me what I got last time and asking if that's what I wanted again today. (Of course. I have gotten the same haircut for ten years.)

So I put in my Yahoo email and hit "forgot password" and reset it. I got logged in and it had my correct info, and I put my login info into that note I keep. I checked in online and sipped on some coffee and surfed Lemmy while waiting.

I went in, had a great haircut, and learned about some kind of membership card or something. Idk I wasn't really listening because I'm moving to a new town tomorrow and idk if I'll have a Great Clips near me there. I saw a Sport Clips near the new house, but my general impression is that it's like the Hooters of haircuts and I don't really want to pay more for a haircut just to have a little bit of flirting thrown my way. Am I way off or is that about right? Because even my basic no-frills haircut at Great Clips is $21 before tip these days, so maybe it wouldn't be so bad to have to find a new place.

Haircut is 2 on the back and sides, medium cut on top. I use a kind of messy look paste to style minimally coming out of the shower. Dull, but tidy.

What is the best alternative to Cozi? (shared calendar and list app)

My wife and I have been using Cozi for years to manage our work schedules, plan dates, block off personal time, and manage grocery lists and to-do lists. There has been some pretty egregious enshittification through locking more and more essential features behind a paywall and now it's altering times for some reason and straight up losing list items and calendar entries. I'm done. Its only function was to maintain calendar items and lists so I wouldn't need to manually remember everything; it's worthless if I can't trust it to remember for me.

So now we're looking for a replacement tool to manage our family. FOSS preferred, but not required. I'm even open to using two separate apps for it, one for calendar and another for lists. We just need them to live online so we can independently add to it while the other person is asleep or at work.

I'm hoping that somebody else has already done the legwork to find the best option?

Last Call of the Season

There's only a week or so left! If anybody wants to party up to try to climb just a little further, DM me. I think I'm Diamond 1 in 2s and plat 2 or 3 in 3s, but with a teammate who meshes with me I can do much better.

Everybody well above or well below my rank, put your rank down so others can try to find a buddy or two as well.

With player trading coming to an end, I guess this could also be a last call for trades.

Fun Team Names?

Whether it's a club name, club tag, or tournament name, what are some interesting names you've used or seen?

My friends and I recently played a tournament and somehow won with the name Socialist Jiu Jitsu. Our club name is Aunt Tifa. We used the club tag [BLM] for a while, but the amount of racism in the text chat was exhausting, so now it's just [ANTI]. It was pretty entertaining to get people tilted and then silently dunk on them, but the toxicity wasn't fun most of the time.
