Target sells them now! Mine have tags on the parts that go either by your foot or head board that say that’s where they go. They also have extra pleating at the corners so that they stay tucked deep under the mattress. Iove them! Oh, and elastic around the entire thing so they tuck under the entire mattress.

I can’t see squat, there’s a hurricane outside.

If you are on ios, Memmy can.

Life goes on, regardless of what the politicians say or do.

OP, check out the websites about grants ISPs are getting to put fiber in rural areas and see if your area is on the list somewhere (I would try and link you to some, but I’m on mobile and for some reason I have a hell of a time finding those sites while on mobile). You can see below what I’ve had to deal with for about 20 years, until my area finally got covered by one of those grants a few months ago. I am super rural - like, I am literally surrounded by nationally protected forest and nothing else; it’snot a place I thought would ever be included in those grant locations. It was, though, and I now have Gigabyte internet with no cap, with VOIP, for $74.98 a month. If I’m not using WiFi, I get an actual gig of download speed. If I’m on wifi, it’s usually between 600-900MB.

Up until recently, we paid Centurylink about $150 a month for two lines into the house. Each line maxed out at 0.75MB download speed and 0.23 MB upload speed. We needed two lines to even be able to function. Almost 20 years of this, with no other options besides Hughesnet. We tried them for a little while; their equipment cost a fortune, it was about$150 a month, the speed was nearly as bad and they had a 200MB A MONTH CAP. We had to turn off images for websites in order to not go over the cap. Previous to 2004, I lived in a very rural part of NY. We had high speed internet for $69 a month, no cap. I can’t remember the speed, but I remember that it took 3 minutes to download a full sized movie. 20 YEARS AGO the internet was better, and cheaper!

Just one of those fires is 600 square miles in size. I can’t even begin to comprehend what that must be like, and I’ve been in a wildfire situation before

I actually know what causes most of mine, there are some nerves in my neck that get pinched/aggravated and trigger them. And for some reason, if I have multiple days in a row where I don’t get much sleep, those nerves get extra cranky. They are extra cranky right now.

I also hate it when it has a name that is a super common word or phrase. Our last 3 records management prograns at work have been like this, and their help fires are terrible to non existent. Good like trying to search the internet for information on the software with those common names. Even adding terms relevant to what the software does, didn’t help much.

(Apologies if this is terribly typed, I’ve got an impending migraine aura that stayed right as I hit reply and have lost a good chunk of my vision. I can’t see most of what I’m saying.)

Yep. Been there, done that too lol

Tow truck can get at you better, too.

My car isn’t the best and has refused more than once to start while in a parking lot. Parking so that I can always pull forward to leave means the tow truck also has much easier access to my car when I need it. :(

I’ve seen a curlygirl sub, but it was pretty much dead, sadly.

I did the same! “Why is my crafting crack company making cars now?!”

YES. It’s so frustrating now. And Gboard suddenly keeps trying to turn every word I type that starts with a “p” into “poo apper”. Wtf.

Swipe was bought by Microsoft years ago, and who knows why they do what they do. The only update I’ve seen in recent memory for it was them adding Bing to the top row.

Edit: so either my app is showing comment threads oddly, or he edited his comment, making my reply completely nonsensical. Originally, he said the video was scammy bullshit, and that he knew it for “two simple reasons.” His 1st was that no one living like that would actually jump on a horse from the rear, and the second was that no one ever sleeps over animals because they’d die of methane poisoning. I guess he couldn’t argue my reply so just changed his narrative instead.

End edit.

Where is the Lemmy version of /r/confidentlyincorrect? People have kept livestock on the first floor of their homes for thousands of years; the heat from the animals helped to keep them warm, and it kept the livestock safe from thieves. And no one sleeping above livestock is going to die of cow farts. Bless your heart.

Housebarns have been used the world over for thousands of years

Aww, thanks. It’s ok, though. I’m getting a lot better at figuring out how not to kill my plants now and just get sad for a little while when one dies. Mostly. Lol

But it’s also hard for someone with depression, because you will kill things while you learn, and that can make you feel even more worthless and useless.

THAT SAID. If you try it and actually discover you have an interest in it, it’s a lot easier to get past the, “Fuck, I killed another one!” and slide into, “How do I not fucking kill another one?!”

CLOSE YOUR DOORS. Closed doors give you a much better chance of survival if your house catches on fire.

CLOSE BEFORE YOU DOZE

Oil of Olay has an in-shower body lotion/body conditioner that works better than any regular lotion I have ever used. And I’ve tried them all. You shower normally, rinse, and what I do is turn off the shower and just use my hands to swipe water off myself so I can get better coverage with the lotion. Then I start from my head and work my way down with the lotion. (Doing it this way saves on product too). When I’m done, turn the water back on and rinse off. The stuff is magical. I have to be careful of things I put on my skin due to some sensitivity issues, and I have zero problems with this. It’s stupid expensive and nearly impossible to find in stores anymore so I have to get it online, but it’s worth it. After a week of not using it, my skin is a flakey, itchy mess.

They have a version with lavendar and retinol in it now as well, but I haven’t tried that one. I just use the regular one.
