Code_Weasel, in Does anyone actually enjoy working out?

The repetitiveness would have me get bored instantly… Have you tried bouldering? Every route is different, you have to figure out how to move, which muscles to activate etc…, so you stick to the boulder (wall) and dont fall off. It is so much more rewarding because you not only do a physical activity but also analyse and solve a problem. Might not feel like this for the very beginner problems but definitely later one, once your technique backpack gets a bit bigger. Can highly recommend.

Look into ReMarkable and Supernote. ReMarkable has a pencil to paper feel and Supernote is like writing with a gel pen. Both are pretty great, but ReMarkable has a longer battery life.

Fully agree, I've got the reMarkable 2 and it lasts for a week, easily. And the functionality is unparalleled.

Moghul, in Breakfast suggestions?

Just get lactose-free milk. I’m lactose intolerant af and I have a cappuccino every morning made with lactose-free milk.

What kind? I tried soy milk and didn’t like it.

Moghul,

There’s just straight up lactose free real milk. It’s milk with the enzyme we don’t have, already in it.

cccc,

There’s a big variance in taste across soy milks. There’s only two brands I’ll tolerate and I’m pretty sure they both come from the same factory.

BrikoX, in Using Lemmy. How do I add say a porn sub to my list? I’m so confused
@BrikoX@lemmy.zip avatar

Your instance is defederated from lemmynsfw.com (scroll down to the bottom to see instances they are defederated from) so you won’t see any contant after they defederated. You might want to create a different account just to browse NFSW communities on instance like lemmynsfw.com.

forklifted,

That’s kinda lame. Just like how Reddit blocked nsfw from all 3rd party apps instances can also block nsfw forcing you to find an instance that federates with nsfw. And at any point that instance can defederate forcing you to make a new account again? Sorry new to this lemmy stuff.

4am,
@4am@lemmy.world avatar

That’s correct but it’s not like “reddit disallowing NSFW” because you can still access the content.

Hell, some Lemmy apps allow you to be logged into multiple accounts at once so you can just make an account on the instance that hosts the content your main instance blocks and see both of them.

BrikoX,
@BrikoX@lemmy.zip avatar

There are plenty of instances that allow it. It’s just not all aminds want to deal with it as it requires extra moderation. It’s a hobby project for most admins to host Lemmy. Read the sidebar of the instance where they typically have rules listed to see what content they allow and not.

When I’m running, yes I do. When I’m doing any other form of exercise? Not really.

But I really love feeling fit

DeJaVuLXXXI, in I'm being harassed by mosquitoes, how do i kill them all?

I’m missing a solution in the replies. Create a last line of defence by using a mosquito net over your bed. They are available in quite large sizes so it shouldn’t be cramped inside.

Mosquitoes get in you house anyway. Use screens and so you keep the numbers down as low as possible. The chemicals are a possibility but sometimes also toxic for pets or even humans. The mosquito net over the bed keeps the last ones away while you sleep. I have mayby one mosquito a year that gets in.

kersploosh, (edited ) in What should I look for when I’m choosing an instance?
@kersploosh@sh.itjust.works avatar

Look at posts and comments from the instance admin. Does this person seem to know anything about running a server or managing software? Do you like the admin’s tone and attitude? Does it seem like the instance will be around for the long-term, or is it someone’s hobby that they may abandon on a whim?

Look at the instance’s ban list. Do you agree with the choices? Maybe you want your All feed to include exploding-heads and lemmygrad, or maybe you don’t.

Does the instance seem to have a community theme that you want to be associated with? Some emphasize LGBTQ+ communities, or NSFW content, or particular political views.

lemmychatwitpeeps,

How annoying. I thought the point of being federated was that i had 1 account for everywhere. Now the douchebag running my instance is going to ban certain communities (defederate) on my behalf? The fuck. Do i need an account on every server if i want to see everything? It’s removed. Give me a ban button and open everything up.

kersploosh,
@kersploosh@sh.itjust.works avatar

IMO the point of a distributed network isn’t convenience or unbridled free speech, but freedom of choice. Not only are there hundreds of instances to choose from, but anyone can run their own instance however they like, including you. If you host your own then you alone hold the ban button.

OldFartPhil, in What's the hottest and coldest temperature you've ever been in?

116 °F (47 °C) during the 2021 Western North America heat wave
7 °F (-14 °C) in Mammoth Lakes, CA

jeena, in I need to survive for 3 days without pooping, and eating as little as possible. I can pee, but not very often. It can't take up too much space. What food do I pack?
@jeena@jemmy.jeena.net avatar

I think water fasting would do you the best. There was this guy in 1965 who fasted for over a year eating nothing but some vitamins prescribed by the doctors and drinking water coffe and tea en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angus_Barbieri's_fast

He apparently also only pooped every 2 months diabetes.co.uk/…/story-angus-barbieri-went-382-da…

impulse, in e-reader or tablet for reading academic paper

Most papers will be in PDF format and may contain colors as well. E-Ink is slowly getting there, especially with the rise of digital comics, but for the time being I wouldn’t trade my iPad and Pencil combo.

Bagel, in What's the hottest and coldest temperature you've ever been in?

I’ve slept outside in a very basic shelter I made with branches and snow at -44°C. I’ve biked long distances over many days during a heat wave when the temperature was 38°C average and highs of 40°C.

godless, in What's the hottest and coldest temperature you've ever been in?
@godless@latte.isnot.coffee avatar

Coldest was -44°C when I was working as a northern lights guide in Norway. We'd always take our tour groups to areas with a high likelihood of polar activity, and once the whole coast was widely overcast so that we had to drive almost to the Finnish border. Camped out along the road towards Kilpisjärvi coming from Skibotn (company was based in Tromso).

Hottest was +45°C in Lagos, Nigeria. Used to work there as well for a good while.

ZoeyCutieshy, in What's the hottest and coldest temperature you've ever been in?
@ZoeyCutieshy@kbin.social avatar

Hottest temperature would probably be around 45°C (desert) and coldest below -50°C (Siberia).

kemsat, (edited ) in Why is youtube recommending conservative "talking points" to me?

Conspiracy theory: All the corps are working together to push the global politics to the right, because leftists dgaf about taking money from corps (as in they’ll tax the corps & the rich).

MelonTheMan,
@MelonTheMan@lemmy.world avatar

It’s not a conspiracy theory if it’s obviously true

someguy3, (edited ) in What's the hottest and coldest temperature you've ever been in?

Bout -40C (that’s thermometer, not “feels like”) and +40C. We have temperature swings.
