  • What Does Fabric Conditioner Do? And Should I Use It?

    Jump

  • Same with great results! Especially if you have hard water.

  • Mastodon is Rewinding the Clock on Social Media — in a Good Way

    Jump

  • I prefer pull vs push media. Less intrusive. I have a feeling lemmy users may also like RSS feeds for the control it provides. I know in mastodon you decide who to follow, but the whole culture to encourage re-blogging means a lot of potential unwanted crap in our feeds.

  • Trudeau seeking advice from youth on 'pressing concerns' to inform future policy

    Jump

  • I’m still very bitter about the broken electoral reform promise.

  • What’s something you couldn’t get into, but feel like you should?

    Jump

  • As far as TV shows: The Expanse and Foundation. I really want to like them but the first 3-4 episodes left me quite meh. Someone tell me it’s a slow start and gets better?

    I tend to put more priority to story line vs special effects or action scenes.

  • Professional Women's Hockey League Original Six announced - League starts in January 2024

    Jump

  • They may sell a package for all streams like the NHL does? Not sure. It’s a 24 game season so would make sense.

  • What is your "inexpensive" hobby that turned out to be expensive/ you gradually invested lots of money into?

    Jump

  • I had to create a “if you add one, you sell one” rule after running out of shelf space.

  • European expansion is worth it! I like the round end goals!

  • What is your "inexpensive" hobby that turned out to be expensive/ you gradually invested lots of money into?

    Jump

  • You raise good points. The expensive part for me was the discovery aspect. Once you know what you like it’s not bad but the learning part…trying all the different greens and oolongs and pu’er and black teas - that was a little nuts at the beginning.

    Now I have about 10 varieties that I like for different occasions and I stick to those and it’s not too bad.

    Biggest splurge for me was an ember mug. Im a little embarrassed by how expensive it was, but honestly no regrets. Perfect temp tea for hours.

    Jump

  • I have! …then full circle back to grandpa style. I still use a gaiwan from time to time on the weekend but I like bringing a container up with me at my desk without needing to refill constantly.

    Jump

  • Similar but different : tea! You go from cheap bagged tea to going down the rabbit hole of loose leaf variations, temp control kettles, brewing vessels and brewing styles.

    Ouin j'avoue...

  • How quick are you to understand new game instructions?

    Jump

  • I don’t get a ton of satisfaction or have patience learning rules of complex games anymore. I decided to embrace games that have tough choices but with super simple mechanics instead.

    Games like Scout, The Crew, Wingspan…easy to teach and fun to master.

  • What are some small, pocketable/keychainable items that are worth carrying everywhere you go?

    Whats your favourite meal combo at CTC?

  • Deleted

    what's your all time favorite cereal?

    Jump

  • I mix them. Not sure if this is weird or common. Honey Nut Cheerios and Rice Krispies are a good combo. Vectors with Rice Krispies too. Alone: Golden Grahams.

  • Microsoft shuts down Cortana, Apple should do the same with Siri

    Jump

  • Agreed. I find myself using Siri on walks via AirPods quite a bit. Siri what’s the weather going to be like tonight . Siri what’s in my calendar tomorrow. Siri what’s the latest news. (That opens up podcast app and plays local news I love it. ). Siri let me know when it’s 12:30. I just wish it got better at answering simple questions. A few articles mentioned Apple started looking at incorporating a GPT style AI with Siri.

  • What's a good podcast you like?

    Jump

  • Hidden Brain, Search Engine, The Knowledge Project

  • What is an item below 100 bucks that everyone should own?

    Jump

  • It’s great for quinoa, farro and couscous too. Love our tiger rice cooker, it’s a work horse!

  • What is a good hobby for a depressed person?

    Jump

  • Little things that make solo hikes even more enjoyable:

    • Merlin Bird Sound ID app.
    • Bringing one piece of hard candy with you
    • If you must listen to something, get earphones with a transparency setting where you can still hear birds and leaves crunching under your feet
    • A dog

  • How do I find news without using Social Media?

  • How do I find news without using Social Media?

    Jump

  • There are daily news podcasts if you like consuming information that way. Apple News , AP News and Ground News are good news aggregates. Reuters has a cool app where you get to pick the amount of time you have (5 minutes to 30 minutes I think ) and it shows you the top stories in video format. RSS feeds of your favourite news sites with a RSS app like Feedly.
