Fuck that, I like you.

Technically none, but my partner pays for Spotify and I'm on a shared YouTube Premium plan. I used to have 5-6 subscriptions and cut them off in January 2022. No regrets! Even buying an old machine second hand, an external storage, and a VPN still costs way less than my many subscriptions. It'll be hard to give up Spotify... Too convenient.
Thanks for all your help! Unfortunately I'm not near Ottawa and don't go there too often. I'll check out what my local yarn store has on sale. Unfortunately the online retailers don't seem to have the best deals (or maybe that's just the way I feel).
My hooks are mid quality, I think? I'll upgrade to something better after I get a bit more experience under my belt. I've been known to orphan hobbies so I don't want to drop too much cash up front.
I find crochet intimidating. It's funny because I think most people feel that way about knitting?
Disagree. Celsius is super helpful for determining if it's gonna snow or not, a key weather thing where I live. Humid and cold and below 0? Snow. Humid and cold and above 0? Rain or freezing rain.
Also helps with plants. Below 0? Frost.
I'd argue you can't get more intuitive than 0 is cold, below 0 is very cold. Celsius also plays nice with round numbers, every 5 or 10 degrees is a change in feeling. 0 is cold, 5 out is cooler, 10 out is cool, 15 is moderate, 20 is comfortable, 25 is room and warm, 30 is hot, 35+ is very hot. Every ten degrees we're doing big changes. 0 is frozen, 10 is cool, 20 is comfortable, 30 is hot. 32 being frozen doesn't feel as intuitive.
Something about equating the choice to have kids with reducing the climate impact leaves me with an icky feeling. Not all humans have the same climate impact, so not all children would, either. Instead of telling Bob not to procreate, we really need to take a long hard look at Bezos and his many private flights.
Never forget that "carbon footprint" is propoganda by the fossil fuel industry to push the responsibility of climate change onto individuals rather than large corporations who are the ones truly responsible for the mess we're in.
Humans weren't ready for easily accessible sucrose, let alone an easily manipulated reality. My parents can't tell the difference between Facebook rumors and reality. My siblings can't tell the difference between YouTube conspiracies and reality. And I'm this boat, letting myself get personally affected by text on some website. We're in over out heads.
One of my Linux people left Odysee recently. Can you guess why? He got sick of all the Nazi shit.
Reminds me of leaving my ex. Went from "baby I love you, don't leave 🥺" to "fuck you, you're nothing without me, you're a crazy bitch" in the span of minutes.
IMO the best memes are the ones where you crudely block out the original text in paint and add your own sloppy edit. Gives it that homegrown touch.
Cool! I'll probably go down that route then when it's ready.
I've had a pretty bad time time to get Heroic to work, but I'm very slow with this stuff. I think I'm a very non-tech person that constantly attempts techy things... And the results are all over the place!
I'll try it again soon, but I'm garbage at getting anything Wine related to work. Why I put myself through this, I'll never know.
My parents favourite music artists finally popped up on Spotify about 5 years ago. It was a dry run until then - I was PISSED when my brother lost my CD of a band I liked when we went back home on vacation.
