I'm a teacher. I'm looking forward to summer vacation starting June 29th where I get to have 66 days off to be with my 3 kids. They're now at a really fun age and I can't wait

I think OP meant to say

"his ace in the hole" but either speech to text or fat thumbs got in the way

Sincerely,

A guy with fat thumbs who uses speech to text

4 years ago next week marks my mom's diagnosis and the 10 months that followed. Watching your loved ones go slowly insane and become unable to speak and move in such a short time (she was mid 50s) when they should be healthy changes you. Everything I look at, everything I think about is now looked at under a different lense. And given my age, there just aren't a lot of people around me who have any idea what it's like and assume it's just handling the pain.

Like... no. I'm different now.

You

Have made my day, most likely my week. Ads aside, I friggin HATE the Chromecast UI

Now, let's pretend that I'm 5 yrs old. How do I get this to. Be the default launcher? I've already combed through the settings options and can't seem to figure it out...

Does this avoid paying for their sync services? I'd love synced notes but to be honest, I wouldn't use the feature enough to pay for it

What's been the best video you've watched for home repair / maintenance /etc.

I followed this guy for framing my basement https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=p6vq-cOAi0Y

I'm looking for drywall repair videos for dummies (I've done it but it always looks bad...). Of course there's a million different ones, so what worked for you?

I downloaded an apk from mobilism and before I install it, how do I go about ensuring it's not malware or an unsafe app? I'm all for buying apps but I hate all these subscriptions...

I have all seasons on my Chev 2019 Silverado. At an oil change the guy said my back tires were a "3". No way I was buying his tires but it begs the question...

What all season tires should I get? I do about 40km of highway driving in the winter, and a bunch in the summer if that matters.

Right now I'm not required to nor am I looking for winters

Particularly kids shows. I've found yggtorrents but it takes forever to seed. There's a season of TV I want to get for my kids but it's over the ratio I have haha.

I'm not concerned with paying for a private tracker so long as they're trusted. I'd prefer a Usenet solution if that's possible.

Have a Note 10+

Screen needs replacing : $450 + tax (cdn) Only one more year of security updates

Bought a "renewed" s23 for $700. I didn't want to but it didn't make sense to sink so much into the old phone even though it worked fine. It pained me to give up the SD card slot...

Used to read a little bit (~3-8 books a year). Now I read a lot (30+ books a year). Love escaping into a fantasy world

Bananas.

Healthy ✔️ Comes in its own container ✔️ Tasty ✔️

I try one every year thinking this will be my year.

Unfortunately the texture kills me

I'm not sure where to post this so I'm hoping onebag can help. I'm a band director and I carry large music scores (up to 12 x 18) and I'm looking for a bag that I can use to transport them back and forth from work. Ideally it would be less than $200 Canadian. Closest thing I've seen was the timbuk2 alcatraz backback but you can't get that in Canada...

Thanks!

Winter: 20°C when home/awake, 17°C when out or asleep. Before kids we used to drop it to 15°C at night. It was glorious

Summer: 22°C when home awake or asleep, 26°C when away for longer period, 24 for short periods

And where are these book oriented indexers you speak of?! The ones I have are very much geared towards tv & movie.

No OP but I'd appreciate it :)

[-] LoganNineFingers@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 year ago

Try Percy Jackson (and any other Riordan books) or Alcatraz vs The Evil Librarians by Brandon Sanderson

I'm hoping this is an ok community to post this in...

I'm looking for a surge protector with battery back up for my computer. I've looked up a few on Amazon but some of the reviews have left me leery. There's so much junk on Amazon I'm hoping that someone here might be able to recommend one they've used.

TIA!

My kid has been doing the Bob Book Workbooks (and reading the Bob books) and I'm wondering if there are any alternatives that as leveled that I could grab so she has some variety? I don't need something more challenging (she's gr. 1) but just something the same but different

Thanks!
