Last month my nephew’s high school performed Bye Bye Birdie. It was good, but not as good as when they performed Les Miserables last year. That was so emotional and moving it was 🔥
Their school does full live orchestra, lighting, sets, costumes, the works.
like most pet people I take a lot of pictures. These are two of the baby fish I’m raising. I feel like he put himself in time out 🙃
I run the PeerTube instance https://video.nyc/. It’s only me for now, but I sometimes post some interesting microscopy on the channel “Dora’s Friends”
I also have a daily underwater livestream of my indoor pond which can be low stress background video. 8am to 1am eastern US time. You’ll often see fish shrimp and snails living their underwater lives. https://video.nyc/w/vLW9JoVetAYRECoWRGwhui
There are a few other great microscopy channels on PeerTube that I like. Quality over quantity.
ODDTAXI (with subtitles) is some of the best dialog I’ve experienced in a long time. With a fun story about a walrus who lives and drives a taxi around Tokyo. It’s anime, so I know it isn’t everyone’s thing, but it’s very different from what most people think anime is.
I don’t know about the gene, and I do like cilantro. However there are times when I can understand how it tastes soapy to people. It does have a bitterness to it, and combined with its very aromatic nature, it reminds me of soap at times.
You can even use water on most pc components and it will clean most residue- it’s called the universal solvent for a reason. The reason isopropyl alcohol is popular is that it is still a decent solvent but also will evaporate quickly, which makes it safer.
People have put PC stuff into a dishwasher (without detergent, on cold) but that feels kind of crazy to me still.
I’d be more concerned about soaking components in alcohol. Lubricants, adhesives, etc would all be at risk of being worn away. Definitely don’t do it to fans or anything else that moves. Pure hunks of metal (like a heatsink) or silicon are safer.
Lemmy ux isn’t focused on keeping you engaged all day. There are no ads to sell, no data to mine.
It’s a smaller platform. So there’s less on here if you’re used to Reddit/etc. Which algorithm are you using? Regardless, all the algorithms are simpler - nothing is going to track if you’ve seen/interacted with a post already. That’s some TikTok/YouTube thing.
My unsolicited advice is find some communities you care about, check in once or twice a day, and share a post of your own from time to time. Lemmy doesn’t do dopamine hits the same way corporation owned social media does.
Edit: also, welcome to Lemmy! It takes a minute to adjust, but I’ve been here for 4 years and I dig the vibes.
And if you view all and sort by new, thank you for your service 🫡
There are all kinds of clubs out there depending on where you live and your interests. Even the rotary club is a way to connect and do good work while not being religious.
One of the most powerful words we have, especially with intimacy and romantic partners, is “no”. I still remember years ago what Dan Savage said and it sticks with me as an interesting difference:
I think what my readers get and what a lot of straight people sort of intuitively get is that your gay friends know a little bit more about sex than you do, and maybe are a little better at it than you are. And that’s not because we’re magic — although we are magic. It’s something else. Gay people have to communicate about sex. Straight people get to consent and stop talking about what happens next or what they want. And when two people of the same sex go to bed, they get to yes, they get to consent, and then they have to have a whole conversation about what’s going to happen. Nothing makes you better at sex than communicating. Gay people have to communicate. Straight people can avoid communication and often do because sex is difficult to talk about. You can’t be gay if you can’t talk about difficult sexual issues, you know, you can’t come out to your family without confronting a difficult sexual issue. It makes it easier for us to have these conversations with our partners, and I think straight people have always kind of gotten that. That’s why it’s such a cliché for straight people to go to their gay friends with their sex problems or sex questions.
You had that initial conversation and it’s totally normal to keep communicating and adjusting the plan as you go. Anyone with any experience with a romantic partner understands and is okay with that. A date is a date, and a date can end in many different ways and still be a good date.
