Once they started mentioning stuff like this I sold my Kindle and got a moann. Its a little odd to use at times, but I love the size and the fact that I can just throw whatever book on there that I want. I use Anna's archive for whatever book I'm looking for or go through my friend's calibre library and I have over 200 books on my reader. I can also use libby with no issues. Its been fantastic breaking away from being stuck in the kindleverse.

I'm in this picture and I don't like it.

This is actually why I adore my Motorola razr. First phone I've had in I don't know how many years that fits easily into the front pocket of my jeans and is relatively unnoticeable. Love the folding form factor.

Please don't for those of us of the non white complexion. I'm already scared enough as it is.

I worked at a food manufacturer that supplied to Aldi. Literally our same product, just an Aldi created label with their branding.

I would just like to say that 70k people isn't a small town. I live in a town with 9k people in it. Now that's a small town.

Also throwing out Zenni as an option. I'm on the verge of coke bottle sized lenses and can find many frames from them.

One of the most honest things I've seen all day.

My boyfriend and I are literally stuck at home right now with covid. We're also aware of quite a few cases popping up around us. At this point, the only way we'll know of surges are due to word of mouth.

I love ReStore. I've had some lovely finds there. Same with Goodwill. Found a beautiful wooden dresser built in 1998 there last week in perfect condition. I wish I could use Facebook marketplace, but I refuse to use Facebook. I wish I had an app like Kijiji to use instead.

Yes Apollo!! I used it on my iPad, but boost was and now still is my go to. As soon as Boost was done, I jumped to Lemmy. I wasn't sure if I would stick around in the beginning, but I'm so glad that I have. I have thoroughly been enjoying my time here

I saw koalas and immediately came here looking for this copy pasta. Thank you. This makes me laugh every time.

I have an EV with flush handles that have that hinge. The handles automatically open, but you can easily force them open if necessary.

I'm a millennial homeowner that had no assistance from my family and bought in 2022.

Honestly though, I think luck is the only reason we got our house. We met the previous owners and they wanted to make sure the house was going to another couple or family that would actually live in it and call it home, not someone planning to rent it out. We put our bid at asking price (even though our realtor was pushing for us to go higher) and they accepted it the next day.

I was literally going to look into getting my vaccine this week... Then I got Covid. So sitting at home feeling miserable. Only positive thing is while its been awful, it hasn't been as awful as the other time I got it and almost ended up hospitalized.

I also have covid with awful throat pain right now. I feel miserable. The last time I had covid I had throat pain so bad I couldn't speak and could barely eat. I'm so excited that I may be experiencing it again....

Literally me today. My relief showed up 15 mins late. I'm now leaving like 30+ mins late because now I'm stuck in the middle of things that they should be doing.

I'm so sad about lemm.ee!!! That was the first instance I joined! That was my home for, wow, 2 years. But I'm still sticking with Lemmy. Just had to find myself a new home base.

Thank you. I've slept for almost like 48 hours in the past 3 days and actually woke up feeling good today.

How has long Covid affected you?

We bought ours in 2022 at a 4.15% rate with only 5% down and since I dealt with a local lender, got a conventional loan with no PMI. Thank God. The PMI was my biggest worry, but we were very fortunate.

Also found a house for under $300k, but it was built in 1952 and we're a little in the boonies. We have a Walmart nearby and some fast food, but that's it. We both work 20 miles away in the much larger town. And then we're about an hour or so (depending on traffic) from a major city. So we had to make some concessions in order to even get a house. Though I love being in a small quiet neighborhood and being able to live away from the bustle of a larger town, but it does have drawbacks.
