Yes and these comments also show up on mastodon.

Don’t overthink it, have fun, bring good earplugs.
No seriously, there are plugs meant for shows, designed to not butcher it too much, merely attenuate it all a bit.
First, you’ll avoid tinnitus.
Second, it blocks out quite a bit of the other show-goers background noise.

I’ve not had good luck finding something that gives me the confidence to go about it

Now’s a good time to make sure you have good backups.
Knowing you can fallback to your backups helps a lot with confidence.

One this that’s really hard to replace is DDoS protection.

I leave my phone further away.
Close enough that I’ll hear it if there’s an actual emergency, but far enough that I won’t reach for it just because I’m bored.

That’s enough to take care of most of my mindless night scrolling.

If I just can’t fall asleep, sometimes I’ll go drift off in the hammock outside or something that’ll cool my body a bit.
Tbh, sometimes I just rub one out ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Also works as a decongestant.
I’m not a doctor, don’t use this as medical advice.

“This is the last straw” 😆

Ghost licensing is predatory.
It’s easier to just wait until the ghost can be published in the public domain.
Blame Disney.

If you have a microwave, follow the instructions in the bag.

I don’t have a glass lid

I’ve used a dinner plate as a lid in a pinch.
Careful it might get hot.

Yes, absolutely. Fuck the stuff you get at stores’ checkout.

I do mean something from a bank or union, it’s just instead of having a limit you can borrow from, you can prepay and do whatever transaction after.
Works fine for online places that only take credit.
You can usually get them even with shitty credit, because they’re not fronting you the money.

You can still probably get a prepaid credit card…
You just have to pay it upfront before doing the transaction.

I use this one:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.orrs.deliveries

It can usually get the status of most courriers unless they’re actively hostile against API/scraping.
Worst case you can still track status manually, or open the webpage.
It doesn’t track payment, but I don’t usually have a tracking number before paying.
I think you could technically add your own custom status entry.
I keep them as active until shipped and verified after which I mark them as completed.

Works well enough for my needs.

Just got my 9 year sticker in the mail too.
I don’t even use it as much these days, but it helped me a lot when I was starting out, and I still use it for the webcam.

I donate monthly to Wikipedia, Signal, and Octoprint.
Probably cheaper than Netflix too nowadays.

Older cable management was fucking elegant.
You can’t convince me that cable lacing isn’t fucking fabulous.

It’s not necessarily heavy songs to begin with, but the soundtrack for Bridgerton has a few instrumental covers with string instruments that are an interesting take.
One of the groups that does these covers is Vitamin String Quartet and off the top of my head I remember a few of the songs they’ve done like Zombie, Yellow, Wrecking Ball, Thunderstruck, Smooth Criminal and whatnot.

Might be something that interests you.

You can use an adapter just fine.
Or use a 5.5" drive caddy, that’s just a little drawer that slides in and out.
Real question is it you have enough SATA connectors available.

It definitely is and it is already removed + community banned

That’s a nice typo that also fits some people from what I’ve heard.

Make sure you mention your lemmy.world username especially if it’s a different one
