Do you have any rock climbing gyms near you? Could get a punch card to one.

Terry Pratchett posited that the shortest measurable amount of time is the New York second - the time between the traffic light turning green and the car behind you honking.

It’s taken a while for me to get to the point where I’ll write a comment, and think “do I really want to kick this potential hornets nest?” And delete the comment.

I find myself having a much better time hanging out and interacting with the folks in the asklemmy communities versus those in political threads.

Important question: sorbet or ice cream/gelato?

It’s a fairly expensive treat, but Jenny’s makes a dairy free pint that’s coffee sorbet mixed with delightful coconut cream.

The coffee sorbet section is very bright and tangy, unlike any coffee gelato or ice cream I’ve ever had before. It juxtaposes really well with the creaminess of the coconut cream.

Usually I work on a pint over the course of weeks, having a few spoonfuls at a time. I demolished this within two days haha.

Fairly big. Main issue is the house is really old so there’s a good amount of extra stuff that I’m opting to get. I think I got quotes as low as 28k from some companies, so the rivian would be 3 of those haha.

Yup, I feel that. My “new” car purchase this year was a used 2015 Nissan leaf that was like 6k. It baffles me how my colleagues budget their money. A rivian?? Son, that’s the cost of a new roof.

EDIT: I don’t know new car prices so I had to look it up. It’s actually almost the cost of two new roofs! The high end model is a down payment for a nice house in my market!

Headphones.

That’s a great point, we’ve been around the block so we’re less receptive to enshittification bullshit

That movie had no business being as good as it was.

I’d suggest using a plastic flosser so it’s not conductive, but this definitely breathed new life into my phone. It turns out battery lasts longer if it’s charging more consistently.

In a similar vein, rain now prompts thoughts of “oh fuck is there a leak anywhere?” Instead of enjoyment, haha…

Sheesh! What’s the difference between co-op vs condo for you?

In college there was a laundromat with a diner that served decent burgers. Was always a treat.

It’s worth pointing out the difference between condos and a co-op - here condos can be over 200k, which can be prohibive, whereas the buy-in for a co-op apartment is like 10k.

Co-ops are truly the way to go for housing.

I played so much nerts in college. I was terrible at it due to the frenetic rate of play, but it was fun. It’s the reason I have like 8 packs of playing cards haha.

I explained here, but that’s why I prefer using the right-hand-rule. Sometimes thinking about clockwise in strange frame of references hurts my little brain.

Oh God I hate those sneaky left-thread bastards lol.

It’s especially helpful when you’re looking at screws (or nuts!) from the back or any other weird frame of reference.

I use the right hand rule - ball up your fist with your thumb sticking out, and turning in the direction of your fingers curling will result in the screw going the rest your thumb points.
