I’m just seeing Gallagher smashing watermelons when they hit a pothole

LOL!!

My husband isn’t on Lemmy, lol. I was just pointing out that my house has a similar light dynamic as this guy’s. And that sometimes it’s the wife with the light sensitivity. And yes, I know I’m weird for it compared to other people. :)

Klaatu Berada N… necktie? nectar?

I love barred owls, we have them in our neighborhood and can hear them at night. We’ve also had the experience of finding one closer than expected, and it is magical.

I’m the wife and I’m like you. I will stand in the dark and wait for my eyes to adjust rather than turn on a light.

We have fairy lights and red LED string lights for the high traffic areas to dissuade hubby from flipping on the overhead.

Low light motion sensor nightlights for a couple spots so that we don’t step on a cat on the way to the bathroom.

The kitchen lights are dimmable, so we can go bright when needed to cook, and dim if just searching for a snack.

I love it. He has given in and adjusted. I find it calm and cozy.

Love this! Did you start out on the Fediverse or did you start on another and then move to your own?

I ask because I’ve been considering hosting my own for the family. I already have a server.

The thing holding me back is I’ve gotten my Mastodon and Lemmy accounts really nice with content and it’s daunting to think of moving/remaking accounts.

In my city/county, you get a free card if you can prove you live here (show something with your address) Our system will also do fundraisers to supplement the budget from taxes. We almost lost some libraries a gew years ago, but voters remade the local government and they are safer now.

It would be hilarious if your link was a rickroll.

The “View Source” option is also on Jerboa mobile app, but I had forgotten about it.

I wish I had a clever Linux joke response.

But, no joke, what is it like to ride one? I imagine them somewhere between smooth comfort and speed demons.

She is an incredibly prolific songwriter for other people as well. There’s a decent chance you like a song she wrote that is performed by someone else - if that makes you feel any better about your sacrilege (smiley face emoji)

I heard her tell a story about how she entered a Dolly Parton drag competition on a whim. She was delighted that she lost!

If anyone is afraid of that link, it’s to urban dictionary.

As I was reading, I had to check that this wasn’t The Onion writers, the tone is so spot on.

Is this from a satire site I don’t know about?

I was thinking that! When I was a kid I had a mole on my neck that looked similar in size and color to a tick. At least once a year someone would try to “catch it”

Luckily more often it was serious looks and warning there was a tick on me.

In fairness, I was in the woods a lot and had to check for ticks on the regular.

But yeah, my grandma for sure would have whacked me upside the head if she saw that spider earring.

What kind of chair is this, if you don’t mind?

All aircraft are tracked. These screenshots are from a website that shows all the flight paths in real-time, or close to it.

In general you can see the aircraft type and call-sign(?), owner, point of origin, and destination. Sometimes owner and destination are obscured for varying reasons.

These particular screenshots are showing flights that originated from Russia

I was never really into twitter, but I like Mastodon a lot. It takes some time to find people to follow (but can be fun to do in the micro breaks)

My Mastodon feed is pretty active now with stuff I’m interested in. If you were on reddit to keep up with the news, that’s doable on Mastodon.

What are some of the niche communities you are missing? Maybe they are here just harder to find?

If you like books, maybe switch to short stories? I found when I didn’t have time for novels, they were great alternative. Especially stuff like Neil Gaiman or collections of authors. Or like NG’s Norse Mythology or Stephen Fry’s Mythos. I listened to them on audio though because they are great story tellers and if I lost track it was easy to start the story over.
