I wonder if micro dosing can give the same effects? I am a control freak and don’t like to be high but worry about cognitive decline. Especially since I got long covid and fucked up my olfactory system. Brain damage sucks.

Oh for sure. But that’s a man’s sport so ya gotta protect it over wherever “nerd stuff” is doing on.

K I read most of the opinion piece. The school claims, and the author does not believe their claim, that it is for the student’s safety as the student was directly threatened with violence from anti-palestine students.

Which makes some amount of sense but why not just allow them to record it and make it available? Obviously playing at graduation would be unsafe but not giving them their chance they earned is terrible.

Aw, Rickie

I came in here ready to defend delicious aspartame from people who aren’t science literate and was surprised to see many really good arguments and comments already posted. Lemmy, you’re pretty cool as a community right now.

I traveled to the path of totality on 2017 and it was wild. Totally indescribable, highly recommend.

Here are some resources to clear up the difference between eruptions and flows and provide more context to answer your question.

Timestamp ~30:10 on the second video (Lesson 10) talks about the origin of pyroclastic flows.

An article came out last month or sometime relatively recently that basically says blue light filtering doesn’t help jack.

Personally I prefer warm toned light in everything except my computer monitor.

Edit: published study AND summary article. I only read the article but there is a published study associated with it.

I hate xmas. I hate xmas music because it triggers my working in retail PTSD.

The only music I can tolerate are the Bells and any Tchaikovsky because the Nutcracker slaps.

I don’t have a lot of information about this but in the Before Times I worked with a couple of people who operated a side business of getting groceries and running errands for housebound or elderly people. They didn’t advertise, it was word of mouth, but it is something you could consider.

You could put up flyers and put them in areas that your target demographic hangs out (VFW, senior center, the grocery store bulletin board). Use large, bold font.

The way they handled it required more personal interaction (going over receipts with someone vs. their shopping list) but once they had a few regulars it was a fine business. It didn’t make much but I think they wanted it to be closer to a service than a massive money maker.

Just something to consider if you feel the new apps (which can be a barrier to the elderly) aren’t meeting your needs.

Delicious delicious sugar water

I had a Cat Genie for years and loved it. Like others, they’re a bit of a pain to take apart and clean when you need to.

It also had a draw back of sometimes missing a small piece, washing it, then blowing hot air on it to stink up the whole place.

But overall I was happy with it. The only reason I don’t have one now is my living situation changed and I don’t have room for it (requires water hookup and a drain).

Yes what I mentioned may sound annoying but consider this: we had ours hooked up to a laundry drain and had to do no scooping. Ever. We didn’t even have to flush the toilet. Every once in a while we’d plug in a special cartridge to do a self clean cycle, and once a year we’d take it apart to clean the internal section (but honestly it didn’t need this except once due to hard water buildup).

You don’t have to do anything and it always had washed and clean litter. Every once in a while it got a little stinky but what litterbox doesn’t?!

Seriously, highly recommend.

Nah, not the cremains but the smoke contains all the volatiles and is not insignificantly toxic.

I work outdoors, often in remote locations. Phrases I have used:

• Make friends with a tree.
• Speak with a tree/have a conversation with a tree.
• Commune with the bushes.
• Wander over this way alone.

My field partner often speaks of watering or fertilizing the forest, which I find distasteful because it gives a sense of which act they’re performing and I really don’t need to know that about my boss.
