Agreed. Except for one time last fall, I knew it was going to happen and did it anyway, thru the company’s website. That one company had their own portal and everything, didn’t know it came from amazon until it arrived 🤷 I’ll do it again! If I was selling stuff I am sure I would have to look at these few options out there.
Great point. The limited times I have purchased from Amazon in recent history was accidentally in this manner. I think that purchasing directly from the creator’s/company’s website might send a message that some folks would like an alternative, but I don’t know that. Either way, it is less amazon.
I’ve had a body high from a poo, it is pretty remarkable, but the lead up was different and not something I want to repeat. Maybe I will try some Italian food!
Eating a spicy meal that is at my max tolerance such that I can continue to eat as normal. I can get a high from that 🥵😋
Since you’ve been obsessed with them lately, have you seen Who Is Cletis Tout? Great film that features some carrier pigeon action and an unconventional cast.
I really appreciate your and @aeiou_ckr@lemmy.world replies. I live in an area where multiple time zones are part of life, but didn’t see how this could actually be beneficial. I’ve had to do some funky stuff to know what time it is, but like you say, I wouldn’t need to do that with this. Thanks for helping me see the importance of this!
I struggle to see a reason for this, even with the example provided in the article. I think it would be annoying for folks who live at the edge of two zones, but I also think it will continue to be a setting that could be cycled.
Is the minister named Peter Gabriel?
Not for new books, but vellichor is a relatively new word to describe the scent of old books.
Wow that actually seems really good.
What is the shelf life for these?
I am about to switch to a pixel 7a from a 3a and am facing this issue. My wired ear buds date to some type of sandisk mp3 player I bought about 15 years ago and are pretty rough, so I have been looking at my wired options. Thanks for this post!
Yes! After looking at some photos I am quite sure of it. OP would be disappointed 😬
I understand Norway/Sweden/Finland has some type of candy that is exceptionally different. In my head, it is sour, but I can’t find it in a quick search and the name isn’t something I could easily remember…
Edit: after thinking a bit, I am now pretty sure what I am thinking of is actually a really strong licorice, not a sour candy. Sorry for probably being misleading.
When I was a teenager, I worked in a garden department of a store. We had plants to water. The pipes for the water had shutoffs in the ceiling in addition to the faucets themselves. I was working over the weekend and needed to water the plants, but no water would come out. The ceiling shutoffs were open, but I had heard there was a master shutoff just inside the store.
So I went in and was looking around on the walls, following pipes, and found this very large pipe with a shutoff on it. It had a tag hanging on it that said “emergency test” but my teen brain thought this meant it had been tested and passed inspection.
I turned it on and went outside, only to find an enormous amount of water coming out a different pipe, some kind of drain. Not what I wanted! When I reentered the store, the fire alarm was going off, but I thought nothing of it, shut the valve, and went about my business. By the time I got back outside, the fire department was there.
About 15 minutes later, fire folks in full gear were in my area poking around with the boss. I asked what happened, and they said for some reason there was a pressure drop in the sprinkler system and it triggered an automatic response 😬 I told them what I did, and they said they were too old for this, and then left. Not a great decision for me that day…
It might depend on the town. I live in a small town, it takes me 15 minutes to walk to work, there is a gym closer, a grocery store a little farther, a bank, hardware, some restaurants. That is All very nice! But for the social things you mention, I would have to go to the next town, about an hour away by car. I go sometimes but otherwise enjoy solitude. And the internet obviously 🙂 I have never lived in a big city, but have lived in bigger towns, and the food options and social life are better, even at 5000 people. In the US, folks in small tend to be insular, but given time they will open up and be friendly.
Ya, I am not necessarily interested in the photos themselves, but would like to not be tagged.
Maple syrup is a highly processed thing
No, it’s not. It isn’t any more processed than bread. Maybe some maple syrup is highly processed, just like some bread is, but it isn’t categorically so.
I didn’t like cottage cheese until I was 38. I kept trying it, not sure what changed.
Piefed? It integrates with a variety of federated things but I haven’t gotten in too deep. I have a similar path as you.
