Ooooo this is kinda similar to something I used to do that I described here

The bumpy yellow pad thingies are kind of unsettling now that I think about it

I had experience with mastodon several years ago and so when I moved over here from Reddit I was excited to try and find an instance that resonated with me but alas, the only niche ones are like, furry instances, porn instances, and tech instances. Bummed that there haven't been more that have themes.

Oh man this is kinda similar to a quirk I had as a kid. It's kinda hard to explain, but in my old neighborhood we had sidewalks like these. So if you look at the first five rows of squares starring from the bottom of the picture, you'll see that the color of the cement changes on the next row. Well the sidewalks I walked on, there would be like, 3 or 4 rows of blocks with a thicker kinda borderline between eachother. So when I would walk I would step one foot in front of the other in each block and count "one two three four, one two, one two three, one two three" etc, starting the count over every time I crossed the break or change in the cement.

I was gonna say kombucha as well, the experience of drinking it is kinda similar?

What is heel toe downshifting? Are you doing it on a manual vehicle?

That's so wild! How do you eat pasta, or steak? Or do you have pretty specific eating habits that don't include those foods? Lol

Dang taking the temperature to determine when to close/open the windows is a great idea. I don't have AC in my house and much prefer fresh air so I open windows at night and try to find the perfect time when I should close everything up. I think between 11am-12pm is the sweet spot, but then I worry if I close up too early I'll miss out on more sweet sweet cool air! Lol

Welcome to the team 🤝

Oh yeah, for whatever reason I find new/random objects to be more satisfying to fidget with than my actual fidgets. Lately fidgeting with paper clips has been my jam. What do you think your current faves are?

Heck yeah measuring sibling! Hahaha I love that they're everywhere, easy access is important if you gotta measure RIGHT NOW!

I used to have two but I lost the large one somehow! It still upsets me to this day and it's been months lol. I want to get a mini Keychain one just because.

Temperature/humidity checking sounds kinda fun since it probably fluctuates a ton. Is there any particular tend you've noticed or that it fluctuates like, minute to minute or anything?

I love kefir! Its a staple food for me since it's so easy and healthy. I'll make my protein shakes with it or have kefir and a banana for breakfast and it's relatively filling

I really like my 900 lumen Nightrider front/rear light combo pack that I got from REI for $150USD or less.

Easy to attach/take off the bike (crucial to avoid theft while locking up in town), battery life is decent and doesn't wobble when I hit bumps. Just gotta make sure.youre familiar with the "lock" function; it keeps the light from accidentally turning on in your bag. I forgot about it and thought my light broke so ended up spending like $113 USD on a light with 1100 lumens (i wanted 900 but it wasnt availabl) that jumps around a bunch and I HATE IT. Then I looked it up online 6 months later and figured out my night rider works after all! Lol

I just looked it up and it seems like niterider has changed their design and uses the same attachment piece as cygolite now (the light I hated). It's probably user error but it barely fits around my Salsa Cowchipper handlebars. I think I had to take off the anti scratch cushions to make it work. Hopefully that's not an issue for you.
