Tell that to the group of singing skeletons that visit my backyard nightly. They are very expressive.

I wonder if the whole brandy bit of info was a hint? They mentioned the cherry seed pits were waterlogged so they’re definitely siting in a lot of liquid. And alcohol would preserve it for a long time I would think.

I switched over to Proton from Gmail about 8-10 months ago and it’s been great so far. Folders and filters have been like what I was used to. The only thing I haven’t played around with much is calendar and invites.

I ended up going for the whole proton bundle since it included the vpn, storage, and custom domains (up to 10 addresses I think)

Ah makes sense.

Ukraine isn’t really using DJIs as much (if any at all) as they are custom built FPV drones.

I switched to the Affinity suite today after almost 20 years of using Adobe products. After the trial I realized that I actually enjoyed the layout of the tools and the familiarity between photoshop and illustrator. Their InDesign alternative (Publisher 2) is pretty nice too. It really helps that they’re giving 50% off right now. (Smart marketing btw)

Only thing I’m struggling with finding a replacement for is after effects. I already made the switch to DaVinci for video so motion graphics is the only hole left to fill and then I’m free from Adobe.

Instead of mandatory military service like some countries have, people should have mandatory public work for two years. Whether it be labor, clerical/administrative, etc, it could help young people learn a new skill, get guaranteed work to get the started, and could potentially save a ton in taxes. It would also create the opportunity to start getting caught up some things that keep getting swept under the rug like bridge maintenance , etc.

This is crazy and scary. I had no idea a system like that existed.

I used to use the prepaid approach a lot, but recently it seems like some companies are rejecting them. Mainly seeing it happen with subscription based services.

Fun fact. When in danger, Quokka parents drop their little quokka babies from their pouch as a distraction so the parents can get away.

Not sure if you work from home, but if so, canned chicken can go a long way. You can make quick quesadillas, chicken salads, make rice the day or morning before and mix that with some sautéed canned chicken with olive oil and seasonings of your choice.

Another quick go to for me is gluten free nuggets and chicken patties. IMO they’re even tastier than the other common options. A little pricier though but well worth it.

The suspense is killing me…

Harp. One with pickups so I can chain up some stomp pedals to it.

That’s for that link. I had no idea the black circle was even a screen. Neat device!

How does it work?

Obsidian is great. I use my iCloud storage to store the vault and access it from any of my Apple devices. There’s also some really neat plugins.

I tried to find one that kind of aligned with my interest and didn’t have a crazy number of users like mastodon.social. Reading online about picking instances, the recommendation to pick a smaller instance came up numerous times.

Went with sunny.garden since it’s a creative/artsy/tech instance and it’s been great. My local feed moves at a decent pace with content I enjoy, but I could also see mostly everything else on the federated tab.

Yeah and actually posted 3 days ago explaining a bit about what’s going on.

I know it doesn’t help you now, but Apollo used to have a feature where you can save your posts in folders. Used that feature all the time. Maybe one of the Lemmy apps can implement something similar.

Wtf… do you need a hug?
