I am on a 6834 game win streak in spider solitaire. This wasn’t all this year, but this is where I am now. Out of 9215 games I’ve lost 3 times, twice at the beginning when I didn’t realize you could undo the whole game and start again, and one when my phone glitched. It’s a small easily achievable goal when my life/brain is too much. I don’t think I’ll make 10k games before new years, but that’s ok. Shout out to Digital Smoke for making a solitaire app that doesn’t track you.
I preserve them in oil. It takes a bit of time but so worth it! I just use the bigger ones for this and make salsa or enchilada sauce with the small ones.
Edit: you could just cut the small ones in half and do this. Hmmm, might try that next year.
Oooh, I like this one!
20 years this Christmas, married for 15. Still my favourite person to putter around with.
My husband has a collection of obsolete technology. The oldest thing he’s got in there is a VT100 terminal.
Could you elaborate on the sketchy shit? I am literally about to switch from openSUSE to Fedora, is there anything I should be aware of? Thanks for your time.
So first off, hells yes to Harvey Birdman! That was my husband and I’s you want to hang out and watch something show when we were first dating. Sealab 2021, Space Ghost, Adventure Time, Aeon Flux, and Futurama all have a special place too.
Let me give you this good advice, I’m not using it.
Same! They make me giggle.
Just my husband, but not sure he counts as he doesn’t have an account. I did meet one of my closest friends on Reddit though.
I use Reeder classic for iOS. Plain and simple and easy to add feeds to. It works with my old reader account so that was a win for me.
I want to set up hoarder once all my components arrive for the home server. Soon I hope!
Years ago my father in law gave me a Costco sized flat of Nanaimo bars. Like just wrapped it and that was that. I was so bummed as I thought it was a big coffee table book. I ended up cutting them all in half and freezing them, so we had treats through the year. My husband and I still joke about it. As we passed them in Costco last week he suggested I return the favour.
Judging from the answers, it seems like no. And really, most people I know that live up north go somewhere warm in January or February, so get the escape then. I’m 45 and two winters ago I had my first white Christmas. And let me tell you, it was freaking MAGIC. We got like a foot to two feet depending where you were on the property. We were exposed to someone with Covid on Christmas Eve so for the next week we were sequestered away, with food and drinks and a beautiful winter wonderland. None of us ended up with covid but my daughters best friends grandfather is immunocompromised so we’re extra careful. We made a slide off the deck, walked in the woods behind the house, lounged around, did puzzles and read books, and just generally had the most peaceful and relaxed time.
I’ve always lived in warm places, and the Pacific Northwest now, so for me, snow is the most magic thing in the world.
Last year. We all got Covid when we were doing our shopping the week before and basically cancelled Xmas. Luckily we didn’t have lots of family or friends visiting but the three of us spent the whole time on various couches and beds either in a daze of fever or lethargy. I was the last to go down (and thankfully was the least hit) so managed to get the tree decorated and presents wrapped before the couch became my home. We managed to open presents on Boxing Day, for a hour, and then back to bed. The prime rib roast got chucked in the freezer, I honestly don’t remember what we ate during that time. It took the two weeks we had off to recover so the whole holiday was a bust.
This year we will be wearing masks EVERYWHERE we go next week.
I used to do sail washing and we would store the sails in this giant wooden rack. All the spinnakers went in a big pile on the top. Me and my buds would take turns having naps up there while we waited for the sails to dry. That was the best winter job.
Fair enough! I would totally feel the same.
I can confirm the durability! I had a 89 240 wagon, went cross country three times with it. It eventually met its end when I was car number 9 in a 13 car pile up. Total write off. But after all the smashing and spinning around, none of the three of us were injured and I had to turn the car off. I miss that car a lot.
Nice! It’s time to wake up 2023 is one of my fav tracks.
Found a good blog called Hearing Things been a couple of good things off that.
And KEXP!! Radio out of Seattle, has an app too.
A perm. I wanted one so bad back in the 80s. Luckily my hairdresser, who was my whole family’s hairdresser and a friend too, refused. She was a tiny Thai lady who was a force of nature, had a little half basement salon in DC. We would all go and get our hair cut together, I think mostly because there was a pub nearby my dad could go have drinks at while he waited for us.
I’m sure that her reasoning was sound in that it would destroy my hair, but I also think both her and my mom knew how terrible it would look since I’m lazy af and wouldn’t style it. Over the years I’ve only ever dyed my hair a handful of times, never curled or straightened it, no product as I can’t stand the feeling of it. I think it’s helped keep it healthy and now as I’m hitting later 40s and finally know how to really care for it (and have a hairdresser that understands my curls), it’s FABULOUS. Very little grey, big curls and ringlets. It’s the hair I’ve always wanted. Still don’t do shit to it lol. Lazy ftw!
