I do a lot of photography and I share it on my deviant art page.

It’s SFW, don’t worry.

Both with fog and smoke

It's so eery with fog and a special kind of horrifying with smoke

Story Time

When the fog gets so thick you can't see more than a car length or 2 in front and behind

You continue to slow down trying to find a safe speed

The last car you saw was an hour ago and they were pulled over and walking around

You pull over, turn the car off, and turn the hazard lights on

You step out of the car to listen

There's only silence

A suffocating silence

You scream only for it to sound muffled muted

A car flys past at speed and disappears before you can get a good look

Had the same problem at my apartment, my workaround was putting the blinds back and putting my blackout curtains behind the blinds (because putting them between the blinds and the window made them upset too)

At least my apartment is wired mostly properly. Still have things on breakers that don't make sense though.

You really shouldn't be raw dogging the Internet

Use protection, use an ad blocker

And I'm not sure about your apartments but at mine (and many others in my area) we can't have anything hanging out of our windows unless it's an AC

If I tried an extension cord it'd be a violation of my lease

Because if you live in an apartment your only option for charging is to go to a charging location. You can't just plug it in overnight.

Which I can see as a big hurdle for a lot of people.

If they're advertising a price lock and not delivering a price lock how are they not being hit with the long arm of a government agency for false advertising?

Gormadt , to Technology in YouTube is experimenting with Notes, a crowdsourced feature that lets users add context to videos
@Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

That's not why it was removed

It was removed not long after one of their Rewind vids was disliked to hell.

And it ain't coming back, at least they haven't so much as hinted at it

Re-Enabling the dislike button would help too

Gormadt , to Chat in Unsure where to post but does anyone else think beehaw is s little too closed off?
@Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Specific instances are hard to find which is usually why I flex the block tool a lot around here. Blocking them when they start spewing their bullshit.

I can't think of any off the top of my head but I'd check the federated list of instances for some of the instances you see with large queer communities (like the one I'm posting from now) to get a general idea as us queer folk get hella targeted by conservatives online.

It's pretty chill in general and is well moderated

It's has the occasional instability day here and there but it gets sorted out pretty quick

They don't federate down votes and you can't give them out which IMO isn't the best

But I'd say it's a nice place overall

@Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Sounds like you picked the wrong instance for an alt account

I'd say if you pick one that isn't federated with Hexbear, some specific domains ending in .ml, and some of the other conservative ones you'll have a far better time around the fediverse.

Also don't be afraid to block people

@Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Because of it being so closed off I've hopped instances

And honestly I'm probably going to hop again because having down votes disabled isn't very good IMO

Edit: 1 big thing though that I wish existed Lemmy wide would be if you have a comment or post removed (hell even bans) you get a message to your inbox. As it currently stands it just happens and unless you check mod logs you'll never know.

I had to look into it because once you mentioned that I was curious.

So the saying originated sometime before 1930 when it first appeared in print and likely in the 1800s. (Source)

And when I went to an inflation calculator the earliest date I could select was January of 1913. Which I couldn't help but share the results of.

About $3.20.

So yeah, about a dime a dozen... 111 years ago lol.

USBs nowadays are a dime a dozen basically for 16GB sticks

They can literally be bought in 10 packs for less than $30.

If they don't give one back nowadays so be it.

Back in the day it was a terrible loss though

Especially stuff that's really important

Edit: or is that just me? Though it has gotten easier since getting a diagnosis and developing strategies to deal with my ADHD.
