I hope tab groups gets worked on soon 🤞🏼

I’m on the third book in the Wayfarer Series by Becky Chambers. It’s excellent 👌

Western suburbs of Chicago, IL. Summer it’s 77-79f (25-26c). Winter it’s 65-69f (18.3-20.5c).

In summer we open the windows at night and let the cooler air in and when the sun comes in I close the windows and run a dehumidifier to quickly bring down the relative temp upstairs especially. Helps a bunch.

When our new kid comes I will have to def adjust these numbers much closer to 72f (22c).

I was talking to friends who live nearby and essentially keep it at 72f (22c) year round and almost never open their windows they were using like 1040kwh-1600kwh per month last month where we were using 309kwh or about 50 bucks a month. This was for July. I think we may be the weirdos and we will have to get more on their level with a newborn.

jokes on them i use an extension that removes the home page and any recommendations on the site.

I use jeroba and I would at least love the option to turn off infinite scroll

midwest.social is chill

“Money I got, time I don’t.”

My dad said this offhanded joking remark to me 30 years ago and it lives rent free in my head. It’s a privileged view point for sure but I took it to mean save and be prepared but don’t be frugal toa detriment. Spend on things you love and spend away on things you hate. Don’t waste time if you can afford not to.

Super auto pets!

yeah its taking a while i auto complete reddit then stop and hit midwest.social instead

I had Lake Michigan water in Chicagoland for 30 years and i can only recall once when i was kid having a boil water notice from the town for like less than a week it was a pain to boil water to drink. now im further out west a bit so we dont get Lake Michigan water anymore but it comes from near by fox river. it tastes the same to me out of the tap but its much more expensive.

This is too easy to hit on accident. If your phone freezes and you try to turn on the screen too many times in rapid succession - boom 911

I hope it comes to the pixel phones soon. Though I enjoy wunderground it would be nice if that weather widget was more helpful.

It was like 92 or 93 and my dad brought home a computer and didn’t know what it could be used for so they just let 7 year old me mess around on it. My year older cousin told me that we could use it to talk to him using instant messaging. When I showed my parents they were blown away.

Also when I realized the computer they bought had bundled with it DOOM. That was great!

Jrock, specifically The Pillows, which lead to dozens of other jrock band discoveries. I don’t listen to it much anymore but it defined me and my friends from the years 16-26

I think I have most of these from humble or epic free. But thanks for being so generous

Just using firefox android’s Add Site To Homepage button for lemmy has worked pretty well for me. i have jeroba but i like the web app a little better. i am open to trying newer lemmy apps as they come out though.

Diablo, overwatch, RimWorld depending on if friends are available or how much free time I have

plus it felt like a lot of stuff got curated and posted by super users around the big subreddits. it felt like there were like the same 20 peoples posts getting most of the attention. at least here theres the potential for more diverse view points and posts from different instances.
