I coincidentally walked past on my way to an appointment at 4p and honestly the way the place was crawling with emergency cycles made me think there was a shooting or something. Haven’t seen this kind of police presence in NYC since the BLM protests in 2020.
Smart launcher and crayon icons
In terms of money and business, my fav is how Xerox didn’t know how to market/capitalize on what was effectively the first personal computer before personal computers were even a concept, which is estimated to be a $1.4 trillion mistake.
What launcher and icon pack is this?
What launcher is this?
I’m in marketing haha, I joke that I’m my parent’s IT person, but that’s just about as technical as I get
Crobat! I always add it to the party if it’s possible.
I pinched a nerve in my back late last week and today was the first morning I woke up without any immediate pain, so that’s progress at least
What I don’t understand is my company set things up to give everyone an alert every time they’re sending something to a non company domain. Why aren’t there any protections like this in place?
I’m hybrid and I only go into the office once a week, though I live near the downtown area. We have (compared to the rest of the US) a fairly robust public transit system, a bustling tourism industry, and I think around 100 universities with the students that entails. Between students, tourists, and the extremely wealthy, I don’t see our downtown slowing down anytime soon.
I’ve noticed that storefronts are cycling through more frequently than they did in the past, but empty storefronts are very quick to get rented back out. Rents are definitely unaffordable, but I’ve noticed that for people who actually live here, many are willing to live a little further out and take public transit in to experience downtown outside of needing to be here for work.
Disclosure that this last point definitely doesn’t apply to me, but I’m also seeing a lot of people who actually go out of their way to go into the office now. With roommate situations and tiny apartments, I’m hearing more and more about people who are hybrid or fully remote, but actually enjoy a big working space with what might actually be more peace and quiet than they’d find at home.
I’ve never felt so called out in my life
Gotta take advantage of all the newbie gains!
Hi! I (27F) lifted for the first time 3.5 months ago, so I’m still very new! I’ve never actually gone for 1RM before, but these are my estimates:
Deadlift: 205lb (actual 165x8) Squat: 175lb (actual 150x5) Bench: 75lb (actual 60x8)
My arms/shoulders were shockingly weak when I started, so I’m psyched with where I am so far. Current goals are benching 100lb and DL/Squat 200lb. I mainly lift for fun and for fitness, so I’m in no rush.
We just finished up a short dungeon crawl with myself (ranger), a fighter, and the DM NPC (Bard), all lvl 7.
To preface this, my luck had been kinda shitty during a ton of rolls so far. We’d gotten the treasure, made it out of the dungeon, when suddenly the Bard casts Feign Death on the fighter (who had the bulk of it), grabs the treasure and runs. My horrible perception role means I think she actually just killed my best friend. So I get off my hunters mark and, in a moment driven by pure revenge, proceed to deal ~70 points of damage by making the best roles of my entire life. After confirming that my best friend is dead through another horrible roll, I deal a devastating finishing blow, grab him and the treasure, and sneak off with the intention of giving him a proper funeral. Of course he wakes an hour later and the DM is gobsmacked that I somehow downed her in a single turn.
This is my third time ever playing DND and the first time I haven’t died. I think I’m satisfied with how it went haha
Honestly that’s why I chose an instance that federates with both. There’s no need to choose only between lemmy.world or beehaw.
Liftoff defaults to “All” as opposed to All@[Your Instance]. This is very specific to liftoff and isn’t a part of other apps. Just click and select the second one from the drop-down and it’ll stop giving you that message.
I’m ace/homoromantic.
Thankfully I live in a pretty queer friendly area. I never technically came out, I just brought my GF with me to Thanksgiving one year. I absolutely gave my parents a heads up, but my personal philosophy is that if I wouldn’t have to come out if I was straight, I shouldn’t have to come out just because I’m gay. Thankfully my parents stopped inviting the problematic parts of my family years ago, so everything went super well. I’m effectively out to everyone generally in my day to day life.
My being ace though is nobody’s business except for my GF and tends to not come up in conversation lol
My partner and I got a beach house for a long weekend so we’re planning on doing a whole lotta nothing!
