PAX - before there was PAX Prime or PAX East.

This is what my family (and a few friends) use. We have been using it for a while now because it just works. Also, the kids have never complained about using Conversations, or about using it only for us (like if you have that one family member who won’t leave SMS behind - we’re that guy, I guess), and we can make as many channels as we need for the house, the kids, with each kid individually, for our MTG cards, with our couple of friends that use it, etc…

I don’t personally do the hosting, so I can’t speak to that. That’s the hubby’s thing
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The thing that gets me a lot of the time is falling up. I would trip while running or riding a bike, and lose contact with the ground. Soon I’m beyond any trees that I could grab, and just falling. Up. Until it wakes me up.

I’ve had nightmares about it since I was a kid (I don’t know when “old” starts, but I’m probably closer to that than to being a kid. Well, in age - I’m still pretty immature 😅)

I have had quite a few nightmares about not being able to find my kids during zombie apocalypses.
Same basic thing tho: the scariest part wasn’t the setting or scenario, it was not being able to save my kids from harm.

🤦‍♀️

I forgot about trimming. It’s not too late, but dammit I forgot all about it!

I read that ghost was federating, I think.

I think that - if you want to read current Marvel story arcs, but not buy every tie-in story (from characters you don’t really like or care about, for example) - digital comics are how you’ll want to go.

There are lots of ways to get free digital comics, and as the other reply said, use a search engine or wiki to find the reading order and all the tie-ins. That’s just the way Marvel does things, and I’m pretty sure DC does it the same way - that’s how the story stays cohesive, and how more sales are made. Your friend is absolutely right.

If you’re going to a local comic book store, try asking the employees - not everyone cares, or pays attention, but sometimes you’ll find a passionate employee (or owner) who can help you find the tpbs involved in the storylines.

I don’t think it’s a Sync only thing. I get that you can see them in the browser, but since I started using Lemmy last year I have noticed the occasional number of comments not matching the visible comments - not just in Sync, tho. It’s happened to me while using the pwa and with other apps.

If you want to switch clients, go ahead and try them out - there are a lot of choices these days. I think LW has a variety of frontend options, too. Maybe one of those will be a good fit?
(I dunno, I really like Sync, but I’ve also installed and used just about every Android Lemmy app, and just end up coming back to Sync each time. Don’t get me wrong - there are some that are really good, but Sync is still my top pick.)

Does it happen with defederated instances too? Say if the LW user gets a reply from a hexbear user? (I think those are defederated, at least)

Damn, that’s pretty 😍

Costco has these giant bags of dried fruit - I really love the sliced dry mangoes, but we also get apricots, strawberries, pineapple … this time he picked up craisins and dried plums that are just this side of being prunes. They also sell big tubs of little tomatoes that are meant to stay on the counter which makes it easier to grab than the nutty buddies or jelly beans!

But also we eat nutty buddies and jelly beans.

We did 😄 How was the big day??

Instead, I built a wall and spent 3 hours on cable cleanup. ಠ_ಠ

The carpal tunnel is getting pretty bad, so shouldn’t be pushing through it for a little.

You’re right, you should not push through it. Baby that shit! The wrist hurt disease is no joke. As I’m sure you already know.

It really sucked when I couldn’t do my favorite things for around a year. Mostly video games and pc stuff, but also knitting and crochet, and even zipping my own pants.
ಠ_ಠ

Take care of yourself! (Also, beautiful pics!)

Grats, man! Have a fun day!

I hope to sit around and play video games (high) at least part of the day. Definitely no big plans like a wedding!

Thanks - I’ve done a bit of gardening successfully, but this is an intersection of 2 of my biggest hobbies! Knowing that there are overlaps between that and this will help me out a lot.

Thanks for the title, too! (Even if I’m not going to use everything right away, I’d like to have the ability to pivot without losing days to researching something before implementing it)

Thank you - it’s kind of amazing how far down the results list that page was, with how much info they have and how long they’ve been online. That seems like a huge resource! Thanks

As far as soil v hydro goes, I have had terrible terrible luck with just about every soil-based plant I’ve ever grown - but these neglected tabasco peppers in old jars of nutrient water are going on year 2.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That’s fair - I had just thought it must be the new normal, if it had trickled down to our city (city, but not big city).

The whole business of blaring ads at a captive audience is bs, either way!

I don’t live in a big city, by any stretch - but I guess it’s not the sticks, because we have that shit around here. And not just the busiest gas stations, by the highway. I hate it.

Your voice is fine, and I don’t think it’s annoying. At all.

Maybe “hate” is a strong word for it, but everyone’s voice sounds different to their ears than it does in their head. It has to do with resonance chamber something something
