Wot The Fsck You Say, Spotify? (lemmy.world)

Edit: A couple times I’ve said eBook while I actually meant Audiobook. I’ve learned that Spotify has a 15 hour limit per month for their free ‘included in premium’ audiobooks. However these are the two books I listened to for free, and even rounding up to 13 hours it doesn’t make sense, unless they count accidental...

Love your local library. The Lemmy app is a good way to access content.

Also pirating… I live in the southern US, where they keep underfunding my library.

Hahaha yes, thanks!

I spent $10k on food last year. What’s good way to track grocery spending?

So I’m just one dude and 10k a year just on food seems incredibly high. I don’t go out that often, ~$1600 was at restaurants. I’m not really sure what I’m doing wrong while shopping at grocery stores and want to track grocery purchases better. The store I typically go to doesn’t have online receipts to use....

tamal3 ,

Part of this request seems to be to track prices and quantities for individual items purchased at the grocery store. I doubt you’re keeping up with that in your checkbook, but an app might be able to.

Still, I do agree that we’re failing kids by not teaching them personal finance skills.

I do not use self-checkout for several reasons, including what other people have said: i don’t get a discount, it’s taking someone else’s job, it’s annoying as fuck. Further, I use my own canvas bags, and that machine yells about the weight mismatch no matter what I try. I’d rather listen to nails on a chalkboard.

But i also shop for groceries 1 time per week, which means I’m buying beer, which means the self-checkout STILL requires somebody to help me. I end up standing around for longer than it takes to go through the regular line.

Anyway, the self-checkout lines generally see very loud usage in my NC town.

Texas "physically barred" Border Patrol agents from trying to rescue migrants who drowned, federal officials say (www.cbsnews.com)

A woman and two children drowned in the Rio Grande on Friday while trying to enter the U.S. near a section of the southern border where Texas National Guard soldiers have prevented federal Border Patrol agents from processing and rescuing migrants.

Selectively punish policy makers? Um voting. That seems to not be a popular idea though.

tamal3 ,

Like gym bros putting spray butter on everything because it has “zero calories,” hahahha.

tamal3 ,

I don’t know, but let us know how it goes.

tamal3 ,

I still use it, and it works great for me. Why do say the program is trash?

tamal3 ,

I use Duo AND Anki. Both have limitations.

tamal3 ,

I mean, it’s pretty good…!

I hear all of that. I also miss the champagne tracksuit :) and the ability to do my weird waterfall practice method to force spaced repetition out of my lessons. I’m not sure that I’m learning any less with the way they’ve set it up, though.

As to the hearts, I subscribed about a year ago for that reason. It’s always been an issue on the app, but I don’t think it’s gotten better or worse. AFAIK, hearts are still unlimited on the website (though that definitely doesn’t work for me. I practice twice a day, and I’m usually not at my computer when I do.)

The one thing that is driving my bonkers right now is that they just asked if I want to sync my contacts. NO! I do NOT want to friend my cousin. Leave me in peace – I only do anonymous social media for a reason. If this goes further down the social media pieline, I’ll have to reconsider and find something else.

In the meantime, I love it, and my ability to communicate in my chosen language is exhilarating.

I resist app addiction in all forms except Duo. Amen to that.

Have you never played with that tik tok filter that creates symmetrical faces? It’s fun and surprising. We’re all rather asymmetrical, and she doesn’t look artificially so to me.

tamal3 ,

What do you see? I’m not super observant, but she looks completely normal to me. I’m not sure what the black box is behind her, but maybe it’s a fridge…

Just curious. Thanks!

People who can don't get mad and just go with the flow, how do you do it?

Here recently it seems like everything just gets under my skin so quickly and easily. It’s not that I get mad and take it out on others, it’s just the fact that I’m constantly annoyed and stressed. Something as simple as the dogs tracking some mud through the house will just ruin my mood. I know some people who would just...

tamal3 ,

100%, removing myself from a situation when I start to get frustrated is key. It also helped me to realize that I was being a jerk to people. The attitude adjustments are a work in progress though, for sure.

EXACTLY where my brain went, and I haven’t seen that move in nearly 30 years 😹

I think Thanksgiving holidays in the US and a long weekend might make the difference for a lot of people too.

tamal3 ,

The apps weren’t available either.

The Glowfriends FTW

In the land called Honoli!

Excellent comment. I’ve tried to look this up, but no dice… Anyone have insights?

tamal3 ,

I still have a 3a, and the battery is definitely losing it. Have you thought about replacing the battery in yours? I’d love to hear your considerations.

My first website (lemmy.ca)

Hello, This is my first website and I want some feedback from you guys. It’s very basic and I haven’t added much. just wanted to host something so I threw invidious and whoogle instance there. My ISP doesn’t provide a static IP so I had to host it on tor :( what else do you think I should host there? server spec: 15 year...

tamal3 ,

I have seen multiple references to running software “on a potato” in the last hour. What in the world does it mean to run something on a potato? (Like… pickle electricity? That’s all I’ve got.) Please advise…

tamal3 ,

I… actually always thought that my cat didn’t like stale food, and that the stuff on the bottom of the bowl had just been breathed on with hot, wet cat breath enough times that he thought it was disgusting.

I’m going to try a wider bowl and see how that goes.

tamal3 ,

a/s/l ?

tamal3 ,

Also, does using Lemmy get me enough cred to get a high-paying tech job? Teaching in a public school isn’t paying the bills…

tamal3 ,

That look of defeat is the hardest for me to resist :(

tamal3 ,

… how do i reply to a user with another instance? I tried to comment on the kbin account below but the post failed.

I’ve been using Krita recently. It’s pretty great, and tutorials/videos are helping me through the learning curve.
