Or sometimes, someone is really passionate about something and is posting and posting about something I’m not into. Mute one day and it allows them to express themselves and for me to keep a manageable timeline

I especially love the “mute for a day, or a week” feature.

just for accuracy, the Benno has a Bosch engine with 85nm and the EHatchet has a Shimano with 65nm.
The Benno weighs 66 pounds, the eHatchet is 35.

I saw that some people now follow this bridged account on Bluesky. If you reply to me or post to it, I won’t see it unless you bridge your own account to Mastodon.
Or you could make the right choice and leave another corporate piece of manure and just make an account here, but that’s your decision.
I’m also on Signal for direct communication.

You’re so caring, thoughtful and loving. Thank you for everything you did and keep on doing every day.
P.S. I know the thread is not about complimenting you, but I don’t follow rules.

You kept us afloat during the last 6 months while I was dealing with the boss from hell. You dealt with P3, you dealt with finding a house for a month so our house could be fixed, and you were point for all the contractors. You worked so hard to keep some normalcy through it all for us. You’re fantastic. Truly. And P3 and I are damn lucky to have you.
Oh, and, as a bonus, work got nuts when it was time to come back home so you also put away everything while my vacation got cancelled.

Yes, he said the ShadowHawk.
I suggested the Firestarter because you can modify it in the latest battletech video game to have 6 machine guns and basically get in someone’s face and ruin their day. Which is very you.

Costco employees have told me the Tuesday evening trick. Monday, people who came back from a weekend away flood the place. So Tuesday is best.
And yes, smartass, at 18:15. That’s when most people are either still eating to about to eat. Shoppers already in are about to leave to go eat, while the ones who will come after supper are not done yet.
There’s a method to my madness.

I like the value for some items at Costco, but I generally hate humans and there are way too many of them there. Only time when it’s even remotely acceptable is Tuesday at 18:15.

we tried drawers before though, and it mainly meant not able to find things for you. Drawers with labels helped, transparent drawers with labels were better, and then the wall worked best :)

excellent nutty flavour, strong enough to be buttered with less than ideal temperature butter, nice crust, mix of chewy and crisp. Overall, I give it a 9.

That’s one of the big reasons why I follow so few people and use RSS for the others I don’t interact with really. It allows me to keep this slow paced and mostly sane. And if someone is rage boosting? Mute for a day or two. I love that feature!!

it would be great to be able to quote boost so we could add the tags and the CW…
I get it, buddy. I’ll do my best to be careful, and I apologize if I rage boosted something without thinking.

That way, I only see the masto accounts I interact with on masto and leave the information accounts to RSS. It’s a lot cleaner and less updates to keep up with in masto.

According to a study, 36% of autistic adults have this condition to varying degrees. Your brain is wired a certain way, no need to feel embarrassed about it. Meanwhile, you can think circles around most people. Should they be embarrassed about that too?
