A lot of providers also include an "unsubscribe" button somewhere which I've found handy. Sometimes their unsubscribe link doesn't work for whatever reason

I'm in exactly the same boat. I'm trying to degoogle-adjacent because I don't have the mental energy to completely transition over, at least immediately

The biggest thing I want to do is make a backup of my photos. There's a lot I've taken over many years and I'd hate to lose access for some reason. Not that I do anything to warrant it, just heard the horror stories of when it does happen

If I didn't have one, but wanted one, what sort of features would I look for?

That's not real, as another commenter pointed out that looks like a felt animal

Below is what the "Venezuelan poodle moth" looks like, from https://www.flickr.com/photos/artour_a/4207478815/

Damn, look at that thing go! Those bois are galloping, too

It was and it was horrible. Horses have been, and still are, incredibly mistreated and it's sickening some practices that are still allowed today

:( indeed

Hell yeah they are

This was my office for a couple years until it was retired (and scrapped). My boi 12. It's a crown narrow aisle reach. We max out going up a little over 9 meters or 30 feet

The crazy thing about these guys is how precisely they handle whilst being 5 tons or 4.5 tonnes

One of the best aspects of getting to train people on how to drive our machines is I get to watch them in action and it's mesmerizing. The forklifts I mean; there's so many parts moving together and it has to be with precision and grace or things can go south pretty quickly

I could go on for days. Why do you think forklifts are amazing?

I have a problem when watching a show or movie, and I'm a little bit stoned, that I start thinking about how it was filmed, the camera angles, and the actors in the scene. It really takes me out of the moment

 

I made a post a bit over a year ago about this guy:
https://lemmy.world/post/25891935

After I braved up and put it outside it absolutely flourished!

The leaves curled right up to the bulb, divided itself, and even gave me a few flowers! Unfortunately I didn't get flower pictures, it was a bit hectic. But they grew a tall stalk with unassuming yellow, nodding flowers

It spent the darker, colder days sleeping but now the soil is staying warm through the night it knows it's time to come out. It's got two bulbs now growing and they each have a huge cluster of leaves starting to emerge; I counted at least eight from each. And the signature curling leaf is apparent even though it's just barely sprouting

 

The titles are:
"Reaper Man", "Small Gods", "Wyrd Sisters", "Moving Pictures"

Went to an adorable book shop and found these guys. I haven't read Pratchett yet but I feel it'll be right up my alley

I'm pretty sure I see "Small Gods" and "Wyrd Sisters" recommended a lot and I know you can't really go wrong, but of these which would you recommend the most? Since this is what I have I'll read them all eventually

Regardless I'm excited to have gotten physical copies because my library has long wait lists for his books

Edit: Thanks for all of the discussion! This post brought me a lot of positive on an otherwise rough day. I've decided to start with "Small Gods"

I just want to say again thank you to everyone who responded to me or to someone else. It's been a joy hearing what each person has to contribute to the conversation

Even if they fall flat (which I highly doubt) all of your enthusiasm came through and that really in itself means so much. It was truly touching

 

2 adults and 1 younger teen

We're going on a two week road trip that'll be fairly leisurely. Stopping by some parks and sights as we go and a few nights at our ultimate destination

I had my car recently serviced. It all checks out

I have a steam deck on the way! Any recommendations here for travel accessories? Or just in general?

We've all got devices and chargers and their respective blocks. I'm looking at a power inverter for the hungrier devices
I was debating bringing the oculus to give whomever a bit of isolation if they need; is there anything specific I'd need to do to use it where there's no internet? I haven't used it enough to be very familiar with most of its abilities

We adults have ps5s. Most likely won't bring one. I've seen portable monitors that people use with a local device; does anyone have experience using one for remote play for the ps5?

And making sure we've got entertainment downloaded to our devices; obviously books and offline/non electronic entertainment will be brought, as well

I'm really looking forward to this and want to make it the best experience for all involved! I look forward to hearing your tips

Edit to add: the point of the road trip is to bury my grandfather. And I'm petrified of flying in the current state of the US

Since we HAVE to make this trip we're trying to make the most of it by stopping by some state/national parks and other landmarks/pois during which we'll be present. But there's going to be LONG stretches of literally nothing exciting. Like corn fields. Many hours of corn fields. Most days are 6 - 10 hours in the car
