I can't tell you how often this ends old people's lives. They start to aspirate food, get hospitalized for nasty pneumonia because of it, we try to feed them pureed food (essentially baby food all over again) and thicken their drinks, they struggle to stay hydrated and nourished because of it, they aspirate and end up in the hospital again. Rinse, repeat.

This is shockingly common. Evolution is a dick.

I'm mean, to be honest, yes. I haven't purchased anything from Amazon in years. It was an adjustment, but easier than you think. Most times, I just wait a little longer for free delivery of something I don't care about getting in two days anyway. One of the other changes I made was getting a membership to a Costco type place that has local delivery for my household stuff like cereal and toilet paper. You should give it a shot.

Same. My Sennheiser Momentum 2s over ears are god damn workhorses and I'm very abusive. And the sound is fantastic.

Oh I hadn't even thought of that. I have two accounts because when I started using Boost for Lemmy, my home instance wasn't supported, so I signed up for startrek.website.

My old account would appear to be an inactive user in the numbers, which is not really accurate. But also it means that bump in users that happened during the reddit exodus was partially driven by duplicate sign ups.

Sometimes I feel like I'm the only person on here who plays Hollow Knight. When I want to chill, I like to start a new game and just go through the early-mid game exploration phase. No pressure, skip bosses if I feel like it. Just run around and enjoy the atmosphere and music. Love it.

I know, right? Trust me, as a nurse it makes it very challenging to recommend this brand to my colleagues lol

I definitely will check them out. Kuru were a god damned revolution in my life after years of struggling with Brooks and Hoka.

Do you routinely walk 3-4 miles a day on your feet for 12 hours in addition to full time wear outside work? I'm a nurse, dude. Yes, I replace my shoes long before they're threadbare. These feet pay my mortgage.

Now I'm mad that I didn't even make that pun on purpose lol

And the secret to goat mowing is you gotta move the stake that the goat is tied to around the yard so the goat can get all the grass and not just one circle

Reindeer in a restaurant in Helsinki. It was good, a lot like beef. The reindeer were farmed, so it wasn't too tough or gamey.

As an American raised in West Virginia, thinking of goat as exotic feels funny as well lol. When I was a kid, my mom had a goat to eat the grass on the hill that was too steep to mow.

That is... definitely not how any of that works.
