What's the best financial decision you've ever made?
Reply in thread
While not always too significant, many credit cards also offer points or cash back. I do the same as you (use my credit card for practically everything and always pay it off), and can use whatever points I get to make small mortgage prepayments, buy gift cards, etc.

what do you regularly buy that you feel guilty about?
Starbucks coffee, and even more so, their tea. Just doesn't seem like a good use of my money, since I can make it at home for a lot less money.

what's the biggest downgrade you had to ensure so far, and how are you holding up?
Reply in thread
On that note, you can edit titles in Lemmy, which you can't do on Reddit. So that's a pretty great upgrade.

How did you lose weight?
I tried to do a bunch of small things. No single thing was the key.
There are probably more, but those are the kinds of habits we're talking about.
Also important: if you don't stick to all habits, don't beat yourself up about it.
With the above, I was able to get from a high of 235 lbs down to around 180. I'm a bit more than that right now, but pretty close still.

Been in early access for a little over 8 years, and it has been fun to see it evolve and grow over that time. They just announced that version 1.0 will release next year!

Does anyone actually enjoy working out?
Lifting: I definitely don't like while I'm doing it.
Riding my bike though: it's great to get out there early in the morning and explore, see nature, etc. with the bike, I also just like the feeling of speed, so the physical act of riding can actually be enjoyable.
To a lesser degree, the same can apply to running. I find that when I've been in better shape, I could experience that runner's high.

The release date of EA Sports FC 24, the FIFA successor, is leaked
Reply in thread
Other than the right to use the FIFA name, and call a tournament the World Cup, does EA lose anything else? I think that's mostly it, right? I'm going to guess most fans won't care.

What, in your opinion, is the best pinball machine ever made?
My experience is somewhat limited (haven't played new games like Godzilla, Foo Fighters, etc.), but to me, it's Medieval Madness. Lots of personality, doesn't rely on a license, and really clear objectives. Just a lot of fun.

Does it feel like the fediverse is exclusively used by older tech nerds?
I'm all of those things, but not an active Linux user any more. Definitely been there before though.

What do you love or hate about Safari?
Up until about a month ago, Safari was the browser I used 95% of the time. I like the interface, swiping back to close a tab that was just opened from a link, etc. I don't use a lot of extensions, so I don't really miss them.
For the last month, I've been using Arc, but I may not stay with it.

Fibre optic cable ducts look kind of neat
Reply in thread
When they installed it to my house, they left some of the bare fibre lying on the ground. It's a little thicker than the fibre you see in those "fibre optic flower lamps", but not by much. If I'm not mistaken, the blue wire you see in the picture is to help detect the cable after it's buried.
