Gloomy weather itself doesn’t make me depressed but the sun always makes me feel better and it’s something you need sometimes. Also being in the cold for a long time starts to hurt after a while so that could also make you irritable.

Apparently what I was talking about is called twist ties but same applies for velcro ties too.

These small wire things that keep cables tidy inside packaging. You can also buy a big roll of it but you usually don’t need more than a few centimeters so why not keep what would usually be thrown away? It’s got so many uses and takes almost no space.

I’ve done something similar in windows 10 when it decided to shit itself and lock me into safe mode. Interesting that it’s still a thing in windows 11. You can use Ventoy and keep a couple of Linux images too on that usb.

45.02 mostly because I did really bad on the first try. You have to pick the color as fast as possible or you start forgetting it.

Yes - QWERTY with proper form if you ignore the number row. No official education, just did some online tutorials at some point. Also my native language uses a different script so I technically know two QWERTY layouts and do about 80wpm in both which isn’t terribly fast but ok for everyday use.

At some point I tried to learn one-handed touch typing and mostly gave up. I still remember the positions but it’s so slow it’s not worth it. If you already have a style that mostly uses one hand, it would probably be easier to learn.

You shouldn’t just reject things on a visceral level. Thankfully with AI you don’t have to as there so many actual reasons why it’s a bad idea.

A good rule for picking an instance is to find one with very few blocked instances and a big number of communities. You see almost everything and It’s less likely to be deferated/disappear because it has a lot of content. Lemmy.zip is a good example. Lemme.ee was just unfortunate.

Heating.

In all seriousness, imported snacks: hot sauces from Mexico, beers from central Europe and fruit from South America.
