Another great idea!

Friends: Other than being outside with friends playing football, soccer, baseball, street hockey, on bikes, playing around creeks, playing in the woods, we played a lot of video games. We had some absolutely wonderful times playing multiplayer Bomberman, any PvP fighter (you name it, we played it), Super Smash Bros, etc. we’d watch each other play all manner of RRGs too. Yes kids, I grew up with the “classics” when they were new!

Family: Long talks around the dinning room table at holidays with family and friends, yearly OBX beach trips, yearly vacations to see family in FL. Christmas’ and birthdays with family.

I’m blessed/lucky to have a family with low drama and we all get along well. I’m also blessed/lucky to have grown up with some really great friends and we still have strong relationships. I wouldn’t change a thing.

I had a very similar experience and my kids are the same way. More than likely because the internet is their freedom, it’s the thing they can control.

We tend to give people giftcards to food places (like a few different ones they can pick).

We had some folks do that for us when my wife’s mom died and it did actually help. It relived some stress of having to come up with dinner when you’re depressed and sad. Getting out and eating at a restaurant can help you feel more connected to others or ordering delivery can help when you’re a mess and don’t want to be with others.

I second this. I was previously an AT&T user and have found Mint to have better coverage especially in the boonies. I wouldn’t go back. I’m on $30/mo unlimited yearly. It’s just not worth what the bigger companies are charging at all.

Oh and Mint offers a free 7-day trial that includes an eSIM so you don’t have to wait for something to come in the mail. I did the eSIM on a second line for the trial and literally never went back to AT&T’s line. I just called them up and cancelled.

Gargoyles, Batman The Animated Series, X-Men, Exosquad, Animaniacs, Pinky and the Brain. Liked them equally.

Never had that one unfortunately.

Their chicken sandwich is like crack. No one else gets the melty fat flavor just right.

These Philips LEDs are what you’re looking for. They’re also temp selectable so you can dial it to 3500K (what my entire house is). They’re super dimmable and flicker free. These are the only bulbs that worked for problematic coach light fixtures for me. No more flicker even in cold weather (they say indoor but work outdoors in a covered fixture just fine). Comes in 40W or 60W equivalents. CRI of 90. Not 95 but noticeably much better than cheap brands.

Which is why they asked and not told.

You’re lucky if they get that far. I’ve had people argue over facts that were easily verifiable by multiple sources. I’m too old to do their research for them.

Totally agree. I find Lemmy more of an echo chamber than Reddit. Echo chambers are detrimental, no matter your view.

Some times but not most, like Windows. macOS is the same way thanks to its *nix underpinnings. I honestly can’t remember a time I ever reinstalled the system to fix a problem.
