Dirk, in How fluent do you think one have to be to be considered "bilingual"?
@Dirk@lemmy.ml avatar

If you can switch mid-sentence to another language and continue the conversation on native speaker level.

Spun

At least once a year this one is a must.

NotAPenguin, in What's the benefit of using Kbin over Lemmy?

The Lemmy devs are tankies who support the CCP and deny human rights violations

ME5SENGER_24, in What movie did you rewatch most often?

Groundhog Day, Wedding Crashers, Zombieland and then 2 odd Disney movies would be Luca and Coco

sunbeam60,

I bet it felt like Groundhog Day watching that film over and over.

Why I joined

  • I like the Mastodon interface too
  • turns out the dev definitely is awesome and everything is very open
  • it has a really chill community
  • I still just like it more than the various Lemmys
cccc, in What are some of the things you say / think to yourself when going through a hard time or dealing with uncertainty to help yourself along?

I used to be pretty negative and aggressive until I realised that if I talked to anyone else the way talked to myself I would get hit.

Now I’m simple and encouraging. Generally a nice little “come on” followed by a simple “you’ll get through it”, “not long now”, “you can do it”, “it’ll be alright”. That sort of thing. If I ever had a coach for anything that’s how I’d want to be pushed.

hsl, in What are some useful or just cool stuff to memorize?

Thirty days has September, April, June, and November.

frogfruit,

My school taught it as “30 days hath September, April, June, and November. All the rest have 31, except the second month alone.”

Notyou,

I always just used the knuckle trick for counting. The ones that have 31 days are at the top of the knuckle and the 30 (or 28/9) day months are in between the knuckles.

Deelala0516,

This is definitely the way.

penguin_in_suit,

With 28 there is only one All the other are thirty one

My mom taught me this limerick when I was little.

PoetSII, in What movie did you rewatch most often?

As a kid I spent probably a week sitting under a table in my room, rewatching A New Hope on a portable dvd player over and over and over. I thought that I should watch it until I had every line memorized, and then move onto ESB (which I never did for obvious reasons)

So probably ANH, followed by any other SW movie, then Mad Max Fury Road and Sicario

interdimensionalmeme, in Should an altruistic organ donor be allowed to restrict their donation to a specific group of people? (e.g. women, gingers)

No, if it became a tool of power it would cease to be an altruistic donation

ChrissieWF, in In which game did you spend the most hours?

Dunno if counts as a game really… But about 4k hrs of VRChat - love the place and the friends I made there!

kestrel99, in Should an altruistic organ donor be allowed to restrict their donation to a specific group of people? (e.g. women, gingers)

Certainly not.

newpuritan, in What do you use Vaseline for?

Lubricating the O ring that sits inside the watch case of vintage divers watches to keep them waterproof.

makanimike,

isn’t that not good, because it is petroleum based and will cause the rubber seal to disintegrate faster?

honkeymorpheus,

Most O-rings are made with a material called “Buna-N” (Nitrile), which is not degraded by oils, greases, or common fuels

makanimike,

like the gloves?
cool! TIL!

brunofin, in What series did you rewatch most often?

While I am not a huge fan of the idea of rewatching a series, me and my wife are rewatching The Office now, we’re already on season 4 or 5 I think.

Another one I could probably rewatch is The Big Bang Theory.

Besides that, I am actually trying to avoid spending the evenings in front of the TV.

Muggy, in What series did you rewatch most often?
  • Black Books
  • IT Crowd
NiTRo_SvK,

I personally think that The IT Crowd is generally better, yet I prefer Black Books over it.

IthronMorn,

I’m watching Black Books for like the 3rd time currently.

Transcendant,

I just rewatched it for the first time, a few weeks back. It was absolutely glorious, proper lightning in a bottle comedy

I just use a keepass vault and KeePassium (Strongbox is also great) after deciding I don’t trust Authy.

Biggest advantage over Authy for me is that I control the data and that the solution is open source.

Vault is synced locally with syncthing but a vault on a cloud drive requiring a key file that is local is also a good option.

Backups are easy. KeePassXC can be used on the desktop for totp.

Vault is not kept with my password vault.
