I can't wait for the REM (bottom left picture) to open, it's in less than a week!! After so many years, at last.

Of course, it all depends on the context. A tutorial for a specific knitting stitch can be done in under 5 minutes, other stuff not so much! There was also an interesting thread somewhere yesterday asking why don't people use their subscription feed on YT and the answers were a good representation of the user base here, ie: most do use it and avoid the algo at all costs! So I think we're all on the same page here, we search and use YT in a way that is most efficient but not the most common :)

It probably disappeared into the ether because it was too short or lacked a backdrop of dried flowers and a cup of tea.

I'll usually go with the length of the video in cases like this. Anything above 5 minutes is a red flag!

I had a whole list of Blogger sites with full albums, bootlegs and mixtapes in all genres. It was wild and fun.

Breadcrumbs that actually work were nice.

Long time user and occasional donor here. I agree with all your points. I love that you can customize each view (daily with humidity and "feels like", weekly with wind speed, etc). And the widgets are just so well thought out and easy to customize to match your wallpaper. Lovely app all around.

En plus ça n'a aucune utilité. Genre, je réutilise mes contenants de take out, de crème glacée (Coaticook font la meilleure crème glacée et ont les meilleurs plats!), les sacs de certains produits congelés, etc. Ça c'est zéro utile.

"A spokesperson for Corbin Police said officials are not sure if flyers are being distributed by the KKK or if someone is printing them off the internet to stir up trouble." Ooof.

I love winter, I can't wait for summer to be over. That stillness is what I look forward to each year! And sometimes I like to watch videos like this at night to relax.

Hot ashes for trees, hot air for a cool breeze?

I'm sorry for your loss, I hope you are doing well now.

I've had the same (same or some iteration close to it) for over 20 years, 25 maybe? I used to be Valhalla in the 90s but at some point it became impossible to keep it as the name was popular and used on multiple forums and sites.

Being a big Led Zep fan I had chosen it from Immigrant Song. So when it came time to change it I thought of their label Swan Song and just added my initials to it. I have a couple of other accounts for other purposes that are almost as old but not as meaningful as this one is to me.

Ahhhh, now I understand!! Thank you very much for the explanation, it wasn't very clear to me. Guess I'll have to run shreddit over the weekend then.

In the csv from Reddit it shows I had over 5100 comments. I ran PowerDeleteSuite and it completely erased all my comments. I kept my account and I go back on Reddit once in a while to check and only once I had to delete a stray comment that popped back up. Otherwise my comment and post history (12 y.o. acct) is gone.

GReader was awesome. I met people from all around the world on there, some that I still keep in touch with to this day. Yes, there are alternatives and I've used some of them, old reader and Inoreader in particular I think offer the best experience relative to GReader (without the social aspect). You can't recapture the past, Reader is dead and gone but I think killing it was Google's biggest blunder. An incredible lack of foresight on their partas stated in the article.

Getting your feeds the way you want them is great. But interacting with people that are actually reading the content you share and discussing it with you is a whole different experience. I'm not talking news articles necessarily but blog posts, scientific papers, essays, etc. Anyways, yeah, I loved the damn thing and still miss what it was to this day.

I was thinking about exactly this last night. I feel like the apps we used (12 years on Reddit, with RIF for as long as I remember) were Reddit. The apps and the way we customized them created our own little Reddit universe. I'm sad for all the devs that worked on their applications and put so much work into them also. But I've been off Reddit for a couple of weeks and I absolutely do not miss it.

I've had two kids, both ending in emergency c-sections after many hours of painful labour.

A few months after my second was born I got kidney stones. And that pain completely erased any conception of pain I had up to that point. Paralyzing, terrifying, unrelenting. It fucking sucks.

It's not a long article and the topic is interesting enough to spend the 10 minutes it takes to read it IMO

This is beautiful work, wow! Winding yarn is so relaxing. Doing it with great tools is even more satisfying. I say it's totally necessary :)

Maybe talk to her about crochet. That eats up yarn in a flash. Then you'll have doilies and granny square blankets all over the house!
