YES, methane stays in the atmosphere a shorter duration as methane, but most of it naturally breaks down into CO2 which then stays in the atmosphere just as long as all the other CO2. It is much worse than CO2 as a greenhouse gas.

Don’t worry, your pessimism isn’t totally misplaced. See that big “natural gas” line?

Natural gas is just a more palatable word for methane, and burning methane is still putting an enormous amount of CO2 in the atmosphere. But methane by itself is like 10x worse than CO2 and the EPA estimates as much as 10% of all methane for domestic use ends up in the atmosphere. Fun!

Elden Ring. Been on a souls like kick, so decided to do another playthrough. Haven’t played in over a year I don’t think so it’s time!

I’m sure plenty of people would understand it, but I’m struggling with a project at work where I’ve got an operator giving me bad data, and the project appears unsafe and I need to decide and convince my management if we’re going to object to it or not.

Thanks, I’m downloading it now!

Newsblur right now. I don’t want ads, and I like the f-droid disabled the intrusive options from the playstore.

Any other reader recs? Not married to it by any means, I like it well enough. I don’t like that I can’t browse by folder or by everything without a premium subscription though. $99/year is extreme for my uses, wish there was a more palatable option for intermediate users. Still, it’s easy enough to jump between topics.

I want to listen to people who will still be around in a decade

Bands stay around when they have support. If you want bands to last, listen to them and see them play.

Speak of the Devil the ROCKET SHIP HAS LANDED MY DUDE!!!

Okay, I gave it a solid six hour test drive. There’s a lot to like, but I gotta abe honest I’m still not loving it. I don’t like that the nav bar is permanently stickied to the bottom, and I can’t find a way to move it. Even on the android beta mode, I don’t like that the icons are still iPhone themed, and I wish the color theming was more pronounced. I also wish you could re-tap to blur NSFW like you can in connect/thunder/eternity (probably my favorite feature in social scrolling apps). I do like that you can block communities with a long press but in my short testing I found it to be buggy - sometimes it works and sometimes it just vibrates but nothing happens - and I wish it was just an option in the three dots menu instead.

Despite the gripes, it is very slick though and I can see why people like it. I really like the sync-esque (though much less aggressive) use of negative space between posts, and the layout has a nice subtly to it that I think looks much nicer than Connect, on par with eternity. I’ll be the first to admit that of the major apps Ive used (Thunder, Connect, Jerboa, Voyager, Eternity, sync) Connect’s post layout is bottom three, but in terms of ease of use, quick navigation, and feature density it’s my favorite, which is why I prefer it. I also like that in voyager, some lesser used options are a little shrunk/out of the way (like post sorting). It can be harder to find at first but options you won’t touch often should be less pronounced IMO, and voyager does that really well. I didn’t get any push notifications so I can’t weigh on on how well that stuff works. Also the icon choices are FUCKING SWEET. I legit might steal one to use on my homepage.

I’m also waiting for boost! Really hoping they haven’t abandoned ship on it, feels like they might’ve given up. That last UI update for boost before the shutoff was SO DOPE, and it always was my favorite Reddit App. Honestly I think I like connect because it’s the most like boost. Nowhere near as polished, but almost every UI/interactive option is in the same spot or executed the same as it was on boost, so it feels the most intuitive to me.

“I’m kinda horny”

“Should we bone tonight?”

“When do you wanna have sex”

“Hold on let me brush my teeth”

I didn’t like iPhone layout and UI which was the only option during the initial release, and never went back to it. I heard they added an android skin from another user but I haven’t found time to try it yet.

You should really change your wipers more. The blades crack and become ineffective with age even if unused. Maybe not every year but every couple years!

Recognized that it was part of what makes me successful and learned to control it a little. For example, when I struggled with getting things done on time, I learned to set deadlines for myself and stuck to them. I realized that I work better when I know I’m a little up against the clock, so I kind of built that in for myself. The hard part is the not moving the deadline. You can’t view it as moveable or it doesn’t work.

I also ask myself “how long is it going to take” and most things if the answer is less than five minutes, I just try to force myself to do it and get it out of the way.

For other recurring things I do them on a schedule. So like, every weekend there are things around the house I need to do. It doesn’t matter when I do them but I have to get them done the day I say I will. That’s the deal Iake myself and it helps.

Those are some of my personal hacks. They don’t work for everyone but they work for me.

Oh neat! I will check it out

Honestly didn’t give voyager much of a shot. I didn’t like how the UI was like an iPhone app, and I kept getting confused by it (because I’m a non-Phone user). I wasn’t into wefwef for the same reason, but they both seemed solid enough.

Nice! I feel like I’d read somewhere that they added it but I haven’t used Thunder in weeks now, connect has become my #1 daily driver and sometimes I check on eternity when it updates. I should try to give thunder some love though,not was my #1 for a while when connect was still a little jank/less polished.

Afaik I’ve used ALL the lemmy apps on android. Connect is by far the best. It was kinda neck and neck with thunder and infinity for a bit, but the 1.0+ release implemented some amazing features, while still keeping the most functionality and managing to avoid the “scroll stuttering” that plagues other apps. Infinity (now eternity) is also good but account switching is more difficult and you can’t block instances or communities from theain page like you can on connect. Example fo why that’s lame - say you’re scrolling by all and theres a bunch of gay/furry/anytypeofpornyoudontwanttosee…on many apps you have to GO to that communities main page just to block it. On connect you just tap the three dots menu and pick which you want to do. Easy peasy.

I’m in my late 30s, and I’ve been around the block so I’ll share mine. In terms of worst time being broken up with, that was my last ex prior to my wife, and she did a number on me. It was entirely my fault and all of the red flags were there and I ignored them and she’s a huge cautionary tale that I won’t go into because honestly I don’t like thinking about her. I didn’t really get a say in the breaking up, and looking back I’m so very glad it happened but it still crushed me emotionally for a long time.

The second, and really the harder of the two, was the hardest thing I’ve ever done. It was my longest relationship (4 years) up until my now wife (married 3 years, together 7). I met her in my early twenties. When we both graduated our programs, we’d only been together a little over a year and didn’t plan on staying together. She wasnt sure where she’d do her master’s, I wasn’t sure where I’d be working. As luck would have it though, we both ended up in the same place, and stayed together another three years. The last six months or so of that relationship I realized how completely miserable I was with everything but her. I loved her, I still do to this day and always will, but I hated my job. I hated where I lived. I hated being so far from my family and friends. And it got to a point where I needed to tell her and figure out how to move forward. So after a long work trip I spent 5 days with her and told her how I felt and she understood but she loved it where we were and wanted to stay for her PhD, which would be after another year of her current program…six more years. She was happy where she was and she could see I wasn’t happy and we talked and thought up scenario after scenario before we came to accept that we needed different things…it fuckin hurt man. We knew it couldn’t keep working without someone resenting the other and we realized life was taking us different places. We broke up 2 days in, I spent the rest of the time with her and there were many tears and lots of pain and lots of last moments together that we savored.

It hurt so badly because nobody did anything wrong. We didn’t stop loving each other, we didn’t stop caring, nobody cheated, we didn’t grow apart so much as life pulled us in different directions. That’s probably what hurt the most, is how much I/we didn’t want to end it, but how we both realized we had to. Life happens and that’s okay, but it hurts sometimes. I am happily married now, and she is too and we’re good friends now. My wife is my best friend and I can’t imagine being with anyone else. I am happy for her and her husband is great and I can see how happy she is. I am not upset with how either of our lives turned out, but I also know there will always be some regret there.

Interesting it works now. Before I just got a bad gateway error or something
