overview for capybeby

Hello all! I mostly use StoryGraph (my name is creadstoomuch if you wanna be friends), but I was wondering what other options y'all have found that work for you. There are many things I like about it (the fact that it is not an Amazon product, the design, the stats, the currently reading tracking abilities) but there are also some things I don't like (the drop down menus behaving irregularly and, in some places, very poorly being my biggest issue). I also use LibraryThing to find my next reads but it doesn't have the currently reading tracking of StoryGraph.

So what do you use? I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Audio balance sometimes changes (sh.itjust.works)

Hey all! I think at one point I changed the balance of my audio output (an earbud was a little dead so I shifted the amount of sound coming out of the left and right to compensate). I’ve long since gotten a new pair of headphones but sometimes I connect them and the balance has reverted back! It drives me bananas (I’m the sort of person who must turn on the mono sound accessibility feature bc stereo effects make me dizzy) and I have no idea if it’s something I’m doing to trigger the behavior or if I’m stuck with it until this computer dies.

Anyone else experiencing this or have any ideas about how to fix it?

Just got my first pair of nice needles (sh.itjust.works)

Hello everyone! Just here to say that I am truly blown away by the difference having nice needles makes! I am a crocheter branching into knitting, so I got a silly little cheap pair of needles to see if knitting was something I’d like. I enjoyed it but there was something frustrating about it that I couldn’t quite identify. I decide that I want to try to make a pair of socks, and thus ordered some dpn (Knitter’s pride Karbonz) and I am having so much fun just knitting the swatch! They flow and click in such a satisfying way, making it abundantly clear how terrible my other needles are. That’s all, just sharing my excitement :)

Haha yeah I truly send the single required image a day and use it for nothing else bc it is a horrible platform. As soon as we lose the streak I’m deleting the app.

Is this a normal way for a cat to sleep? He is a rescue and I’m pretty sure his hips were injured at some point, so I always thought that this was related. But we’ve just gotten a kitten who started doing it too.

Oo I found a copy of the first one in one of those little libraries a few months back and have been meaning to get to it. I’ll bump it up on my list.

Just read Project Hail Mary by capybeby in c/books@lemmy.ml

Yes I loved that arc! I loved that he does prove it true in the end.

Oh I definitely agree the Grace is a good person the whole time. He works so hard on this project mostly because of his kids. He wants them to have a future.

But going on the Hail Mary was the way to save the kids. He tried to say someone else could do it but conceded when Scott pointed out how bullshit that was. And when push came to shove he said “Okay, it’s true! I’m afraid! I don’t want to die! I worked my ass off on this project and I deserve to live!” (Pg 392)

But even though he worked his ass off to save earth and to find a solution, he decided that Rocky deserves to live, not him.

So I agree with your overall point, but I think Grace changed a lot too.
