Exactly.

I love that feeling that a space is a little better off for my having passed thru it…

Report back and share how it went? It’s so gratifying and rewarding for me–whether or not anyone sees me do it. And you don’t even have to commit at my level: It started with the notion of picking up just one piece every day…

Walking every street in my giant suburban section of L.A, picking up litter as I go. 3 years, and 1,200-ish miles so far. And probably thousands of pounds of trash.

Yes, this is the procedure. I would miss my bidet if it went away. And the cold water doesn’t bother me–it’s rather bracing and refreshing!

The only thing I would change about mine is that I wish I could fine-tune the pressure dial. There’s a very small range between “OFF” and “FIREHOSE”–but I have the basic, entry-level model.

Just looked it up: 11 years.

I was very proud of “my” sub over there (sole active mod and most consistent poster). 11K+ subscribers and personally acknowledged by the author of a recent book on the subject of our sub.

Something died in me just before and during the blackout. I haven’t posted anything over there since, and of the 11K subscribers, it’s possible NONE of them followed my migration to the Fediverse where I set up an equivalent “official” sublemmy.

Once you know what you know (at least for some of us), it’s just not the same participating in that space any longer.

I keep an eye on the place out of respect to…something. (I feel like I cleaned the place up nicely, and really raised the level of discourse.)

I guess I was naive in the extreme to think that at least a couple of hundred of the faithful would follow me over here? I don’t do it for the numbers, but there is something gratifying watching your community grow.

At this writing, the new sub has double-digit followers! ;-P

I didn’t know this either.

“Google launched the WebP format as part of its mission to make loading times faster across the internet. WebP allows websites to display high-quality images — but with much smaller file sizes than traditional formats such as PNG and JPEG.”

Interesting idea. I did that on a Discord server that I set up…never occurred to me to do something similar on other platforms.

Geddit is another.

Yeah, I’m gonna need to see the paperwork on that…

Interesting point. I wash mine everyday. Water and diluted dish soap. The frames have titanium–but I bet the mounting posts on the silicon pads are the ones that are oxidizing!

(I would have gone with this one instead.) 😜

TIL why my nose pads turned green! Thank you, knowledgeable Lemmster! 🏆

No more calls; we have our winner.

Glasses frame is usually made of a type of copper called monel. Monel is a table metal and unreactive towards a lot of chemical. It is also skin friendly. The only downside is that it turns greenish when it gets rusty.

[edit] It’s interesting that that article suggests a way to clean them–but the Costco optician just now said you can’t really clean them. (They replaced them for no charge.)

I literally haven’t posted anything on reddit since the blackout. All of my posting has been in the fediverse…

Laziness and the pull towards the familiar are powerful reinforcers of the status quo…

The end is nigh…
