I don’t know if or when it came back (there seems to be a 30 year cycle for fashion where everything old is new again) or if you are just your own individual who doesn’t care if it’s in, just doing it because you like it.

Or maybe you’re rockabilly. Or too punk to care.

Or maybe I stopped noticing it and it never actually went out of fashion - it was me who went out of fashion!
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Tight-rolled jeans with rolled-down socks.
Also, aforementioned backwards clothes - even trained my Grandma to reply “jump, jump?” 😁

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)_/¯

That’s at least part of what is exported as JSON from the settings menu (afaik, you get there from your regular settings menu in the web interface and it’s at the very bottom)

I think you can then import to the new account?

I always feel bitey after my visits to the vet, too.
(ノಠ益ಠ)ノ rrraaaaarrrh!

• Pet an animal friend, or a friend’s animal, or a friend. Probably ask the friend first, or maybe don’t.
• Don’t be afraid to hug your mom/kid/cousin/friend.
• If animals and friends elude you, find a stuffed animal/monster/alien/person that will let you cuddle if for no other reason than because it has no choice.
• Watch cartoons or sitcoms or romcoms, and deliver some good feels into your brain.
• Look for eyebleach (not literally bleaching your eyes!), and try to put the terrible thing behind you.

Good luck!

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.

When the first flavors of Pop-Tarts were released in 1964 (strawberry, blueberry, apple currant, and brown sugar cinnamon), the packaging machines were expensive, resulting in hefty up-front costs. So, to be economical about their investments, the company decided to package the product in twos at the start (explained in the book “Better Than Homemade: Amazing Foods that Changed the Way We Eat” by Carolyn Wyman).

“To package them singly would have required twice as many machines. Kellogg’s didn’t want to invest in a lot of machines until they knew how it would sell," said Bill Post, who managed the first plant to produce Pop-Tarts.

Not a new thing at all
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

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)

It’s tea. Or maybe a cold soup, in the way that a taco is a sandwich.

(Preparation and ingredient rebels can make anything tea.)

I guess I have no idea how popular this one is, but I’ve enjoyed it quite a bit.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Most of these seem to be around 10 mins, with a couple being closer to 15.

Thank you!

• Learn About SCP Foundation

Description:

Learn about every SCP in order, taught to you by an AI that works for the SCP Foundation. His name is Kevin and he’ll also reveal to you the inner workings of the SCP Foundation and become your best friend along the way. Don’t worry. He’s only a little bit clingy, but he’s charming. We promise.

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

I think they have. Not the traditional ones, obviously, but there’s nothing saying you can’t make smaller versions with tech.

The physics of their shape controls how traditional instruments sound.

Take the violin family. Violin is small, has a higher tone in general than the next bigger - the viola. Viola is a little bigger so it has a deeper richer sound than violin. Next bigger is the cello which is much deeper than the violin and quite a bit deeper than the viola, but not as deep as the biggest of them - the upright bass, or double bass, which is the bassiest bass sound that you can really get.

Now consider that each of those can be just the neck board where your finger work to hold strings down, and the part that is usually where the bowing or plucking goes on without any of the body. That’s because of technology!

I’ll look for pics or links or something

Edit to add: if you look at these Wikipedia articles - even just scanning the pics - you’ll see what I mean.
EWI
Electric violin
Electric upright bass

You can get electronic instruments that are smaller than their traditional counterparts.

Pianos can be the size of just the keyboard with electronic synthesizers, which are what the keyboards are called that can be a piano or organ or a saxamaphone or guitar or harp or that alien sounding weird instrument… Or harpsichord or barking or… I mean, keyboards can make pretty much all the sounds.

The hollow body of the violin can be done away with and have just enough parts left to hold the strings and electronic parts.

Someone mentioned digital drum pads which are flat versions of their drum counterparts.

The Electronic Wind Instrument (also known as a EWI) is like a small clarinet that can make other instruments’ sounds.

Digital organs on synth keyboards are not the size of a room.

What do you count, if not those? Yes a tuba is still huge, but that’s the traditional horn. Traditional instruments need the physics of their size. Technology has made them smaller, by creating ways to make those sounds without needing the precise physics…

I use this app called MoeMemos which is for memos I guess? But the reason I mention it like this is because I’m the user who needs to have the easy access on our server :-P

I don’t know if it’s an active community or not just checked and it looks like it’s active on GitHub at least.

Once you’re able to pay rent and not sleep on the floor you’re a sellout.

Good luck out there!

I would have to agree with that - I’d rather have someone else’s butt take the full brunt of an outdoor, nighttime, northern England, cold toilet seat. Lol - those types of cold seats are what taught me to “hover” when necessary. (Well, not specifically the same as northern England outdoor toilets, but similar)

As a person who had spent 30+ years thinking that “a warm seat = someone had been sitting long enough to make it warm” and thought it was therefore gross, now that I have a heated toilet seat/bidet combo, now I think a cold seat is worse.
