Someone eating bitey food off a boner sounds risky and scary.

I guess you better search for them.

This has really made me lose faith in a defederated system like this.

@Anyone: please let me know if I’m wrong about these and if there’s a solution, but as far as I can see:

• I can’t export my account (most importantly all the posts and comments I’ve saved).
• It’s difficult to find where a server is based.
• Some instances seem to be solo hobby projects. I don’t want to pick another instance that is at risk of being killed.

Talk radio station. Starts at low volume and builds up slowly. Calm voices are the most relaxed sound to wake up to. Tried all sorts of other sounds and they’re all too abrasive to wake up to.

This feels like homework.

My battery never held charge well in the first place.

I don’t know about iPods specifically, but Bluetooth transmitters (that connect to 3.5mm audio jack) are cheap.

Or if you’re willing, you could surgically mod your iPod.

AskLemmy…if you don’t ask in the post, then you will be asked in the comments.

Big up Chris Rock for keeping composure and reacting well.

So if he loses control of his car and is heading at a tree, he can shoot the tree in self defense.

That’s not the point they’re making at all.

The point is when a website password breeds needs to be changed, then it won’t conform to the system anymore. Now you need to make a new system, or remember this particular exception.

I had a system with a number in it. Any time a password change was needed then I would add 1 to the number. I might have to try two or the times to get the password right if I’ve changed it for the third time.

Everyone can draw that. The money is in drawing really well.

You’re in the picture. You are seen.

It’s a strength check. It takes the might of Thor to squeeze the plug enough, in a tight space, at an odd angle, behind the computer.

For anyone who might find this useful:

Kodi is great for normalising volume and I try to use Kodi for Plex and YouTube on the TV:

Try adjusting the Volume to about -20 dB and the Volume Amplification to +30 dB. The latter will compress the audio as it increases volume to avoid peaks, and will effectively “flatten” the volume contour a bit. Adjust the values to your taste.

The other thing that has really helped is having a good Bluetooth speaker. If the kids are playing and being noisy in the room while I’m trying to watch TV, then sound is much clearer if the speaker is right next to me rather than trying to turn up the volume to drown out other noises.

I’ll just die, thanks.

“Report Abuse”

Your inaction

If you’re looking for a “life hack” to make any exercise instantly enjoyable, then that’s really not going to happen.

But you sound like you’re motivated to start exercising so that’s great. You can add this in layers to make this genuinely enjoyable:

1. find something you like (for me: weight lifting and squash are fun. Running and swimming are hell)

2. Decide on a fixed time (for me: 10pm every day is designated for exercise)

3. Make it as simple as possible and remove as many barriers as possible (for me: I don’t sit to watch TV or play video games close to exercise time, otherwise I know I’m not going to get up again. I put on exercise clothes when I get home from work so I’m already ready when the time comes).

4. Add something else that’s really enjoyable (For me: I have a TV series that I only watch when I’m in the gym. So if I want to find out what happens next, I’ll have to go to the gym tomorrow.)

5. Make this routine (once you’re habituated to doing this regularly, then it stops taking will power to force yourself and is just embedded in your routine)

6. Forgive yourself for missing sessions (any time you miss a session, it doesn’t matter, you’ll start making progress again any time you start exercising again)

7. Make it social (some people love this and you can do exercise with someone. I personally hate that and I love the meditative solitude of exercise time)

I haven’t found any. Anything of that sort would need heavy handed and laborious moderation and would lend itself to quite a lot of bias from moderators. Your best bet is to do this sort of thing locally with a small group of friends (or internet friends).
