I’m assuming open houses aren’t a thing in Belgium? In the US, it’s no big deal to walk in to an open house and just tell the agent that you live in the neighborhood, like the house and have always wanted to see the inside. They’re usually pretty chill about that.

On Mastodon, too. Some of my more niche interests are better represented there since Mastodon has more active users than Lemmy.

I have this one. It’s hurricane force when turned up all the way. never had a problem pushing anything with it.

I also recently bought an electric hedge trimmer, which I love. Should have bought one years ago, it saves so much time compared to hand clippers.

46 at present. Furry porn sites that weren’t tagged NSFW, memes, shitposting, a number of communities from the h… server (you know the one), tankie communities.

I’m subscribed to a lot of communities, too, but I still use the all feed for discovery.

I would say Mastodon already has. I’ve been spending a lot of time there over last few weeks and there’s more content than I can consume. Breaking news stories are covered well, including live blogging, although a lot of that content is cross-posed from Xitter. Plenty of people to follow, including authors, photographers, journalists and scientists. An increasing number of media outlets have a presence there, as well.

Xitter still has an order of magnitude more users, but Mastodon is mostly Nazi-free (which is nice).

The market for erotic fiction is huge (think romance novels) and is primarily aimed at and consumed by women. I’ve always thought (and I think there are some studies to back it up) that women and men process sexual desire differently - visually for men vs cerebrally for women. Although I do think that as pornography has become more socially acceptable those differences may be less pronounced.

Doing my bit to support the open web. Plus, while it’s probably just familiarity, I’ve always felt that Firefox works with me while Chrome works against me.

Sure, why not? Everyone has their own reasons for moving and climate contributes to an area’s quality of life.

When I moved from Southern California to the Pacific Northwest, the benign climate here was a factor. Didn’t want to live somewhere where it was blazing hot every day for months, where it was a steam bath all summer or where I had to shovel snow every winter.

I still miss PSA. When I was growing up, if you were flying between Southern and Northern California you flew PSA. They were an institution.

And now that upstart Texas airline dominates inter-California routes.

Continental Airlines, way back in the 1960’s.

Mid 60’s in the US. I’ve always driven manual transmission cars. Fairly common for folks my age to know how to drive manual transmissions, since most of us had economy cars in the 70’s and 80’s. At that time, automatic transmissions were an expensive option and had a negative impact on acceleration and mileage.

My daughter is 29 and doesn’t know how to drive a manual transmission and I don’t think most of her peers can, either.

EDIT: Accidentally a manual.

Cool! I loved my Palm PDA back in the day, but mine wasn’t nearly as fancy as that.

In my 60’s. According to Internet sources, shorthand was taught in schools until the 1990’s. It’s likely that shorthand use declined as PCs became common in offices.

I’m old enough to remember when shorthand was a required course for women in secretarial schools. I always though it was black magic and very cool.

Buy a newer car and increase my 401k contribution. Maybe I could retire a couple of years earlier than I plan to.

Not necessarily worse, but more ambiguous than if I say something is good.
