can’t speak much now, site is in five-alarm fire mode for obvious reasons. things are going good though, thank you for using the site, hopefully this week will chill a bit
Pretty good!
I dusted off my Beehaw account from when I left Twitter and I’m having lots of fun talking to you all in comparison to a lot of sites. I installed Linux and I’m enjoying playing with all the neat new software. Currently tinkering with templates in Zim Wiki while I wait for my potatoes to cook. I also got introduced to a few low-end games I never would’ve known about normally and I definitely plan on trying some out.
I was wondering if the site was being buggy haha. Saw that my comments took a while to post and had to refresh.
Had to put down a 21 year old cat, spent $1700 at the mechanic on my car, and a power surge killed my elliptical’s electronics. I’ve had better weeks.
I had a cat that lived to be 21, too. My sympathies; I remember how hard it was to lose him.
Whenever one of my cats has died, I always end up thinking of a passage from May Sarton’s The Fur Person:
“They did not love him for his glossy tiger coat, nor his white shirt front and white paws, nor his great green eyes, no, not even for the white tip to his tail. They loved him because he was himself.”
Sorry about all that, I feel you. I had to put down my 20 year old cat a couple weeks ago and learned my dad has cancer the day before that. This week I spent a ton of money to update our home electricals and then just learned the washer is now broken. Stay strong and hang in there and we’ll get through all this!
One day at a time. I’ve got good games and people who love me, I’ll be fine.
Overall good but the nice weather is tanking my work motivation… I’d rather be outside in the woods than in front of a computer tbh, but what can you do?
Keeping up with Lemmy/Beehaw is fun! I’m definitely posting more frequently than I ever did on reddit tbh.
I can relate to that, there is an entrance to a small patch of woodland that I can see from my office window. I often wish I could just leave and go for a stroll through it when the weather is good.
Super stressed out, honestly. It sucks a lot, because dad & I took my offspring to a cabin trip & all I can think about is my current situation. I don’t wanna go too deep into it, but I’m having trouble with my place of care. Not sure about the correct terminology in English, but basically, I’ve filed a complaint & am awaiting their response.
That said, I’ve been enjoying Beehaw a lot & I’d like to wish everyone a wonderful rest of the week!
Little stressed out. Pregnant wife just tested positive for COVID, I’m in the clear so far and my daughter seems to be, too. Gotta head to the store to get some more tests though, but we’re pretty strapped for cash until tomorrow. I’ve been in the dumps lately but actually today I’m feeling pretty good all things considered. Weird how that goes!
got a lot going on, an important job interview, studying, trying to help a friend going through a tough time.
Going good! Started putting together a little digital garden to keep some of my favorite saved posts from reddit before deleting my account.
This digital garden is intriguing. Is that essay your own or are you just sharing the concept. It looks super interesting.
Not my essay! It’s just the best summary I’ve seen so far. My garden is still under construction, but I might share it here when it’s done.
Edit: if you’re interested in the specifics of how to make one easily, I’m using Obsidian, a great free notetaking app with a paid Publish feature (there’s a student discount on Publish too, so that’s a plus). There are some guides on making one there, like this one.
Okay that’s cool.
Hmm I’m using Logseq already as I wanted something open source. I’ll read into this when I have some more time as I’m already in the habit of collecting lots of links and resources.
Super happy I stumbled on this.
A bit better than usual lately, which is nice. Getting some PR photos today to finally get my IDs updated since my name change certificate arrived! I will finally be rid of my dead name!
Also started working on my first leather working project this week. While it’s rough and I’m missing a couple of tools to finish it well, I’m happy to be learning a new skill.
All in all, a good week, which is a nice change of pace.
Just getting started, but I’ll be starting my holiday in Lanzarote on Sunday. I’m looking forwards to it of course!
I just started painting and drawing again and couldn’t be happier with it - I use it to meditate after a long day at work and usually just before heading off to bed! Hope you all are doing great!
Just working and waiting for a mastodon invite to get approved. I’m sure they’re busy lol.
Someone correct me if I’m wrong but shouldn’t you be able to interact with Mastodon using your Beehaw account?
Can you? Huh.
I’m really not sure how it all works still but from what I’ve read here I think that’s the idea with the fediverse. Someone compared it to email. Even if you have a Gmail account you can interact with someone who has a yahoo account and vice versa.
In practice though, I’ve no idea how it works so I’m hoping some kind user here will point us in the right direction!
I just flunked out of what I thought was going to be my career (physics) I’m not sure if this is the correct term but I failed at my bachelor’s? I’m thinking of doing an engineering degree instead.
You failed at doing what you weren’t meant to do. You succeeded in moving in the right direction. You got this
Thanks my friend, not gonna lie I actually cried, I thought I had it I studied hard for the final exam but it still wasn’t enough. Whatever it is I enter next I’ll make sure to change my studying habits.
No worries! And good luck
In future you may look back and see this as an important turning point in your life that you’d never want to change.
I switched out from my original degree and went into an entirely different field and if it wasn’t for that I wouldn’t have anything like the life I’ve got now.
I got my laptop back from the repair shop. They said I really needed to replace the internal keyboard and touchpad components, but I just disabled them and stuck on an external keyboard and mouse.
Then I played Sims 4 for about four hours. Fun!
Oh it’s going great ! Finally getting some quiet weather that allows me to go offshore, i work on wind farms. It’s nice to get out of the office, it’s too toxic and political there, i like working out in field with the technicians waaaay more. Oh and the sunsets on a blue sky day, nothing beats it.
Man, your job sounds awesome. Have a nice time out on the water!
Thanks dude and how is your week going, i hope it’s awesome ?
Here is a picture of my trip home tonight, it was a lovely sunset.
I did not know offshore wind farms even existed! This is epic and so are you.
Aww thanks mate. You aswell.
They are pretty marvelous, can’t wait for the US to join this race, would love to work on one other there. Actually they are just in the process of two huge ones, one off the coast of somewhere in California called vineyard park and one off the coast of Virginia, can’t remember the name. Hope you’re having an awesome week.
