Ask Lemmy

My BF and I are getting married soon! :D

I'm super excited. We live across borders, so I will finally be able to live with him. So much more time for fun stuff like camping and climbing, and even just normal stuff like reading or cooking together.

i fought a traffic ticket and won lol

My haphazard kid driven fish tank has babies somehow

I'm getting a lot better at not being so serious all the time, it's difficult but possible to change oneself.

I'm going to visit my sister soon and I haven't seen her in years, she doesn't know I'm coming so will be a fun surprise.

Well, I'm about to go to sleep, so that's good, I guess.

I don't think as much when I'm asleep, or at least I don't remember, and if I'm lucky I might dream that the world is not like it is, which would be nice...

Right now it is a beautiful day in Denver.

My favorite charging spot had a car there when I arrived, but the driver walked up and unhooked it the moment I arrived.

my birthday :)

went out for a lovely dinner and got nice presents afterwards

Comma splice.

You can 3D print containers that fit all kind of juice/pop/milk lids. They can be any height, but my favorite are the ones that nest almost perfectly inside giving you one bottlecap worth of storage (perfect for pills or sim/sd cards).

I've had my printer for 6 months and still get a kick out of this.

After 7 years of trying, I'm finally going back to university this year to get the degree i always wanted :D

My post-surgery biopsy says no cancer, we removed the sad stuff just in time.

My son is helping me put a front and rear tow hook on and will be my engineer and copilot on our first track day next week.

We have helmets and everything, can't wait!

Just beat Elden Ring shadow of the erdtree... Feeling great

Our second wedding anniversary is this weekend!

Did my yearly testing for my job. Last year for some reason it went kinda rough, left feeling like I didn’t do as well as I should have even though I passed. Was kinda worried about this one. It went great. Pretty much nailed it all, learned some new things too. So headed back to work tomorrow feeling pretty good about some important skills.

Thank you for this thread. Nothing particular I can share right now, but I needed this.

Two years ago I had to miss a biennial hacker conference I'd been going to (and helping out on) every other year for over two decades, something I love a lot and always deeply look forward to attending, because I'd finally got hit with my first case of COVID. The virus hit me hard, and not only did it make me miss the conference but it left me with heavy long COVID effects which knocked down my ability to do a lot of things for a long time.

Last week I had a checkup with my doctor who congratulated me on how much I've come back from the long COVID. That hacker conference is happening again next week, and I'm extremely excited to see everyone again! (I'll be masked, of course!)

I was awarded a big scholarship on Sunday that happened to be the exact amount I needed to pay for my first year of college. The rest of my years are mostly paid for. I've always want to go to this college. I was excited about going, but now I'm even more excited now that I've earned enough scholarships to pay for it.

I can only sympathise, and thank you for posting this because I need to hear good things right now too.
