I like to pronounce Numeric like Tumeric

Cool, now do country music.

My biggest goal is to get a new band together. After moving across the country in 2021, I have desperately missed writing, recording, and most of all, performing.

My kid hates anything and everything velvet or velvet-like, such as the back of some picture frames.

Apple implemented this many years ago in several apps, including photos, screensavers, and iTunes/Music, and of course Mac OS itself. I’m willing to bet there’s an api for it already in existence.

The only people who make money on Spotify is Spotify. Support artists directly if you want them to continue to create.

I say that but, as far as holiday records go, the Ventures’ Christmas album is pretty stellar. https://youtu.be/dkeJiDwAnWc

Put a lid on that Crayola marker, you savage!

Growing up, I always dreaded holidays. I mean, sure the time off from school was great, that’s a given. But getting excited about Xmas just wasn’t my thing. Several years ago I finally realized why: The excitement is manufactured. It’s just an ever-increasing buildup frenzy of the holiday. Gotta do your shopping, and more shopping, and more shopping. Then you gotta cook and clean. Then go visit family that you really don’t care to see.

Finally, the big day! Open presents! Then…. Nothing. Just another day, except it’s more boring because your friends have to do stuff with their families.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad others get enjoyment out of it. Great for them. Just don’t expect me to to excited too.

Your public library has a ton of content for free. Music, tv, film, print… honestly, what more do you need? Just throwing that out there.

I don’t think so. And it was a LOT of leaves. We’re talking big holes. He would dig a hole, put in the leaves, and stand there with a string trimmer, blasting away at them. Then cover them up. It was especially odd because the city collects them for free. All you have to do is blow/rake them into a pile on the street.

I had a neighbor for a while that ran his gas blower for a couple hours EVERY DAY. I think he had some sort of PTSD trauma and it soothed him.

He also dug holes in his backyard to bury leaves. Quite a …… character.

Xmas has been X’ed by NoFX is always at the top of my holiday playlist. YouTube linkage

I deleted all my social media the day after the election, except for my lemmy account. Mostly because I forgot about it. Now I just read a few news headlines and solve a crossword every day. And WHOA - talk about having bountiful free time now. It’s kinda scary.

Am I less stressed? Meh, maybe a bit. But I’ve decided I’m going to find beauty and amusement in the utter self destruction we are about to witness. I’m going to stand over here and watch the fire while I drink my beer in peace.

If it was milk, you basically created tv static on a dead channel.

Sure! My stepfather was a coal miner and brought home several fossils in coal when I was a kid. Ferns, tree bark, etc. I’ve lost track of them over the years, unfortunately.

I’ve actually been in a coal mine too. In my hometown, they have a decommissioned mine where they give tours.

Make sure that you cleaning routine is top to bottom. Wipe off the blinds, wipe the counters and appliances, moving down until the floor, which is last. Even if it isn’t perfect, it’s better than completely dirty, right? Progress is progress.

I have 2 dogs and a cat and have hard floors throughout. The roboVac runs twice per day and is always FULL when I empty it after every run. In addition my roboMop runs 3 days a week. My job at home is no longer cleaning but, roboTending 😂

But yes, taking off your shoes from outdoors is a must. We all keep a pair birks just for use inside.
