Everyone saying they’ve seen this so many times, yet this is my first time seeing it.

Not a lot of people realise that the lidocaine you get at the dentists also contains epinephrine to make it last long. Which can play merry hell with your blood pressure. I can’t have epinephrine for other medical reasons besides the way it messes with your blood pressure and honestly I prefer it, I’m numb long enough to do the surgery and it’s all gone in half an hour or so instead of a numb face for half the day.

Top 6 Hours seems to change the most for me so that’s the one I use, I only check out Lemmy a couple of times a day with my morning and afternoon coffees. Active when I want to deep dive into comments. and if I was here all the time then new would be my sort preference.

I have 986 subscriptions, most are small creators that don’t post often. I have notifications for the key ones that I really don’t want to miss.

Stay at home wife. I used to work as a bookkeeper, now dealing with some health issues. However I am 55 and have used computers since as long as i can remember, I learned how to use punch cards in what you yanks would call middle school. So I don’t work in tech, but it doesn’t bother me to learn new things. Lemmy reminds me of the good old days of BBS and just trying things out to see what stuck.

Don’t put anyone on a pedestal. Not politicians, not celebrities’, not twitch streamers, not your girlfriend. You can love, respect and even like people, but don’t worship anyone, it leaves you blind to their faults and it’s a pain in the ass being the one on the pedestal in a relationship.

Meh. Only one party wants to take away my rights or stop my friends from getting married because they’re both women, make birth control illegal, kill people for performing in drag and let 12 year olds get married. . Your idea of “just as bad” is a little strange.

Cooking is fun and you can eat the results. Find a recipe or a dish you’ve always wanted to try that is a little hard for your current cooking level but not impossible and spend a fun afternoon , in my case making chocolate eclairs from scratch. Mine look like turds but taste amazing, can’t wait to try again.

I still wear one in crowds. I had a lobe of a lung removed due to a rare cancer. I’ll never be cured, but will slowly loose lung function as airways are blocked. If I’m lucky it’s a disease I die with and not of, so I am treating my lungs like the delicate little flowers they are and fighting to avoid any and all respiratory diseases I can. I am now also queen of the hand sanitiser when out in public. The stuff from Bath and Bodyworks is da bomb, smells like hand cream.

I’m waiting for it to start

It would provide more insight than comparing their current figures. When Uber started, if you compared the number of people that got taxis in those first months to Ubers numbers you’d have bet on Uber to be out of business in months.

How many did they have when they were the age Lemmy is now?
