Skin on your fingertips is overrated anyways /s

I know that feeling all too well. The small local grocery store is, at minimum, 2 to 3 times more expensive than Walmart, or even the Dollar General a block away. The local hardware stores aren't much better.

I've only ever used Humble Bundle to buy steam games not on steam itself. I haven't had a single steam key issue in the 13 odd-years that they've been around. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

I can't remember what it's called, but mixing the brownie with the coffee was the best thing I've ever had from an MRE.

A xxx & nsfw tags? Or xsfw instead of xxx? And maybe even a nsfl tag for those that are more than just not safe for work.

I remember being a child, camping with my grandparents, and my late grandfather regaling us with how he just got off the radio with a guy in Australia! I asked him how he was able to talk to someone so far away, and he said the weather was just right for the signal to carry.

He was so proud of his amateur ham radio license that he got a vanity plate for his truck with his call sign.

Out of curiosity I just looked up his call sign, and, while his license is now expired, it has not been recycled yet.

Yes! He linked to the post over on tildes prior to shutting down RIF.

Thank you! I'm a civi (civilian) and only had it when my older sister came back from basic training.

I used to snap the beans that my grandparents picked. So many 5 gallon buckets full of beans... Snapping them at the picnic table in summer... I was in Arkansas so the humidity wasn't much better.

"good morning" [+emoji] is the one I see daily. There's a few alternatives I see, but I usually end up sending the one with the coffee cup in response.

I also like seeing the options for the different emoji combination stickers (like the cyclops sobbing in your screenshot) that Gboard comes up with. :) I've found to trigger that, I either pick 2 different emojis or type the same one 2-3x to get suggestions.

Been having fun with both of these features on my Samsung phone for a while. Enjoy! Have fun!

It definitely does. Don't use Apple products, but setting limits or bedtime alarms (on the switch) helps us all out. It cut down on the tantrums about stopping, it gives them the routine they need (we're all on the ADHD spectrum in this house), and I set it up and it's done (I have practically nil executive function).

Is it perfect? No. But it works for us.

I have one that will relentlessly attack anything plastic - like Ziploc, trash bags, store bought bread - until someone refills the food. Had to buy an honest to goodness bread box so she'd stop destroying the loaves.

Same here. I read the post and got so confused because I have my quick bar set up with WiFi as the first toggle option.

I'm in USDA zone 5a, and zone 5b is mere miles south of me. While it's not a perfect system, I have been using it, along with reading from the horticultural societies at the local universities, as a guide for what plants will most likely survive the winters here.

If you're interested in loading up emulators and other games via desktop mode I highly recommend going over to XDA and checking out their articles for the deck. For example: they have a whole article about getting Minecraft java edition up and running on the deck (which is something one of my kids wants us to do).

This happened to me when I had bought a gift for a friend out of state. Blurry skewed picture of the house with the package nowhere to be seen. Thankfully it was there, but it is definitely infuriating.

Thank you for breaking it down and explaining it. I honestly didn't know everything you wrote and I'm glad I do now!

I agree. I enjoyed RIF for so many years. Paid for it too. I would gladly pay him again for a lemmy app.

Very nice! I recognize the blue jay, puffin, and barn (?) owl. I'm not familiar with the two birds on the left. What are they?

You are very welcome! :)

I remember permanently borrowing my grandfather's copy of Reader's Digest Birds of North America guide and trying to draw them from there (this was the late 1990s).

And now I have a new community to sub to! :)
