I don’t know if or when it came back (there seems to be a 30 year cycle for fashion where everything old is new again) or if you are just your own individual who doesn’t care if it’s in, just doing it because you like it.

Or maybe you’re rockabilly. Or too punk to care.

Or maybe I stopped noticing it and it never actually went out of fashion - it was me who went out of fashion!
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Tight-rolled jeans with rolled-down socks.
Also, aforementioned backwards clothes - even trained my Grandma to reply “jump, jump?” 😁

Like the Santa maggot guy

I kinda like the idea of it being Santa instead of Satan 😁

PAX - before there was PAX Prime or PAX East.

This is what my family (and a few friends) use. We have been using it for a while now because it just works. Also, the kids have never complained about using Conversations, or about using it only for us (like if you have that one family member who won’t leave SMS behind - we’re that guy, I guess), and we can make as many channels as we need for the house, the kids, with each kid individually, for our MTG cards, with our couple of friends that use it, etc…

I don’t personally do the hosting, so I can’t speak to that. That’s the hubby’s thing
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Don’t worry! You got this!

The thing that gets me a lot of the time is falling up. I would trip while running or riding a bike, and lose contact with the ground. Soon I’m beyond any trees that I could grab, and just falling. Up. Until it wakes me up.

I’ve had nightmares about it since I was a kid (I don’t know when “old” starts, but I’m probably closer to that than to being a kid. Well, in age - I’m still pretty immature 😅)

I have had quite a few nightmares about not being able to find my kids during zombie apocalypses.
Same basic thing tho: the scariest part wasn’t the setting or scenario, it was not being able to save my kids from harm.

I read that ghost was federating, I think.

That’s at least part of what is exported as JSON from the settings menu (afaik, you get there from your regular settings menu in the web interface and it’s at the very bottom)

I think you can then import to the new account?

I always feel bitey after my visits to the vet, too.
(ノಠ益ಠ)ノ rrraaaaarrrh!

• Pet an animal friend, or a friend’s animal, or a friend. Probably ask the friend first, or maybe don’t.
• Don’t be afraid to hug your mom/kid/cousin/friend.
• If animals and friends elude you, find a stuffed animal/monster/alien/person that will let you cuddle if for no other reason than because it has no choice.
• Watch cartoons or sitcoms or romcoms, and deliver some good feels into your brain.
• Look for eyebleach (not literally bleaching your eyes!), and try to put the terrible thing behind you.

Good luck!

It’s tea. Or maybe a cold soup, in the way that a taco is a sandwich.

(Preparation and ingredient rebels can make anything tea.)

That’s fair - I had just thought it must be the new normal, if it had trickled down to our city (city, but not big city).

The whole business of blaring ads at a captive audience is bs, either way!

I don’t live in a big city, by any stretch - but I guess it’s not the sticks, because we have that shit around here. And not just the busiest gas stations, by the highway. I hate it.

I think they have. Not the traditional ones, obviously, but there’s nothing saying you can’t make smaller versions with tech.

The physics of their shape controls how traditional instruments sound.

Take the violin family. Violin is small, has a higher tone in general than the next bigger - the viola. Viola is a little bigger so it has a deeper richer sound than violin. Next bigger is the cello which is much deeper than the violin and quite a bit deeper than the viola, but not as deep as the biggest of them - the upright bass, or double bass, which is the bassiest bass sound that you can really get.

Now consider that each of those can be just the neck board where your finger work to hold strings down, and the part that is usually where the bowing or plucking goes on without any of the body. That’s because of technology!

I’ll look for pics or links or something

Edit to add: if you look at these Wikipedia articles - even just scanning the pics - you’ll see what I mean.
EWI
Electric violin
Electric upright bass

You can get electronic instruments that are smaller than their traditional counterparts.

Pianos can be the size of just the keyboard with electronic synthesizers, which are what the keyboards are called that can be a piano or organ or a saxamaphone or guitar or harp or that alien sounding weird instrument… Or harpsichord or barking or… I mean, keyboards can make pretty much all the sounds.

The hollow body of the violin can be done away with and have just enough parts left to hold the strings and electronic parts.

Someone mentioned digital drum pads which are flat versions of their drum counterparts.

The Electronic Wind Instrument (also known as a EWI) is like a small clarinet that can make other instruments’ sounds.

Digital organs on synth keyboards are not the size of a room.

What do you count, if not those? Yes a tuba is still huge, but that’s the traditional horn. Traditional instruments need the physics of their size. Technology has made them smaller, by creating ways to make those sounds without needing the precise physics…

Haha - you too! I am also going to have to look into that, just in case 😅

Hell, I could be wrong too :-P I’ve never gone in that direction - only adding a Linux dual boot from USB stick. That sounds kinda scary, and would definitely make it easy.

Well, damn. Thanks for warning me about that possibility - looked like more steps that included BIOS last I checked, but as I said, I’ve never needed the process.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Edit: I should note that I have installed Windows from a USB stick recently, I’ve just never already had another OS installed and then going to Windows. Most of my experience is installing a Linux flavor for dual boot.

I use this app called MoeMemos which is for memos I guess? But the reason I mention it like this is because I’m the user who needs to have the easy access on our server :-P

I don’t know if it’s an active community or not just checked and it looks like it’s active on GitHub at least.
