Tight-laced

Thanks! Tried the Google reverse image search to no joy.

Please enlighten me

Plus people commuting less = less pollution and less congestion.

Good for people, good for the planet, bad for profit for some.

As the parent to a 5 year old, I feel this sooooo much.

I’m having to change my “just-a-second”, as she takes it literally - a second is counted. I now say just-a-minute. Frozen got it bang on when Anna says "just give us a minute " and you can hear Olaf quietly start counting to 60.

I’m on kbin, really hoping that the new Sync will work here. However, given the way Lemmy works, I believe that it won’t really matter as its just another instance in the Federation

Ask me a month ago and it would’ve been Reddit Sync.

Now - WhatsApp, kbin, YouTube

Female here. Can touch ass but not all the way through to get a good wipe of both areas.

I’m trying to rebuild my sources after losing the useful ones on Reddit. Which ones in Lemmy/Kbin can you recommend?

I hate to say it, but while hopeful, it’s unlikely.

I’ve been around the CFS/ME community since my husband got it 6 years ago. There a small handful of people who have recovered, but generally they’ve been “misdiagnosed” with CFS and then correctly diagnosed/treated. The majority live with it for the rest of their lives. It’s also why the life expectancy is only 50 - many simply cannot live with that level of pain/suffering day in, day out without any real hope of improvement/relief. Its a dreadful illness.

My husband has ME/CFS, like the Physics Girl. It’s an absolutely devastating illness. He was a very active 35 when he was told there’s no cure, not even a treatment, and that pain/fatigue was his life now for the rest of his days.

We’ve been around this long enough to see promising drug/cure/treatment/diagnostic tests come and disappear, month after month, year after year. The influx of funding/awareness linked to Long Covid is incredibly welcome, but many instances are repeats of previous ME/CFS research, so it holds up previous findings but doesnt drive anything forward. There’s not been any real progress in the last 2 years, and the funding/focus is waning. I may be jaded, but hopes are low. I also sincerely hope I’m wrong.

Oooh, that’s fascinating

Dark

Or Peaky Blinders

Makes you wonder why the staff unionised in the first place. Sounds like they weren’t being valued from the offset.

Banana and Salad Cream sandwiches.

The Salad Cream adds a nice tangyness, you can tell yourself the banana makes it healthy, and you’ve got a proper student sandwich.

Works surprisingly well.

Thats quite the photo.

Though the article does point out that they were nearly swallowed.

I’m conflicted.

Sad that all that development and fossil fuel usage will come to a rather nice and remote section of Scotland.

But would be cool to take my daughter to see a rocket launch.

1. Buy a big mansion/estate somewhere quiet in Scotland
2. Hire staff and carers
3. Fill mansion with the CFS/ME sufferers who are in awful situations and give them somewhere safe/peaceful to exist.
4. Rinse and repeat to how many such facilities that much money can support.
5. Leave enough in trust to keep the facilities open.

Just subbed/posted

Replaced by whom?

I get that some people will step up into being Mods, but modding is hard and thankless work - I’ve done it a few times over the years.

There’s always subs crying out for new Mods, so you’ll end up scraping the barrel for Mods, then the quality will go down, people will get pissed off. With thousands of Subs suddenly needing modding, there’s simply not enough volunteers to go around.

One of Reddits unsung resources was its army of Mods keeping the content of some quality (define that as you will). Reddit really is cutting its nose off right now.
