Not sure where you are but you might want to check local small makers/ farmers market. The soap lady at my local farmers market has the best soaps - I no longer use anything else for showering. It looks pricey but the bars are large and last a very long time. She finally has an online shop. https://skincarebyfeleciai.com/collections/soap
I'm doing this now. I have to limit the size of the area im re organizing to what i can manage in a day or two. And if I don't finish I put things in bags to keep it organized until I can get back to it.
I want to get some non-single use ear protectors for concerts. I have only used bad foam single use ones before and I’m not sure how to approach this. Should I buy cheap ones like alpine to see if I even like it or does it make sense to directly go for customised ones? Idk how much customised ones would even cost....
Some great recommendations from industry folks already.
But if you're not frequently in such high volume environments and you want something for the occasional concert you may want to start with cheaper options.
Don't take your hearing for granted - hearing loss is disabling and isolating - whatever you choose it is important to have something comfortable and convenient to carry that you will use and is up to the demands of the environment you'll be using them in.
I have Eardial for concerts (1-2/yr if that these days). ~$30. They are very comfortable, fit well (even though most earbuds pop out of my ears), easy to clean, and have a small clip on carrying container. Manufacturer says 11db reduction. Great for music but conversation in crowds is a little muffled. I've had them for a few years (prepandemic) and there's no sign of deterioration since they are lightly and gently used.

Big ask but I'd love a translate button. Even shitty translations are OK. Sometimes content in other languages is of interest and I struggle through as best I can.
Just starting to familiarize myself with everything after about a decade at reddit. I understand that you can view content across instances but I'm noticing that both kbin and lemmy have similar (competing?) magazines/communities....
For now since it's all new to me - I'm just subscribing to all the overlapping communities/ magazines that interest me that i stumble across. I can easily scroll past duplicates. But eventually things will shake out to preferences in community vibe and I can prune back then.

I think it's less likely they'll turn a blind eye these days. Oakland was similar but there was a massive crackdown on artists wherehouse spaces after the GhostShip fire (36 people lost their lives) .
If you are usually a reddit lurker and are on here, it would be cool if you can try and engage with communities for a bit, just to try and get the ball rolling :)
Habitual lurker checking in. On kbin and loving the difference in vibe and waiting patiently for the migration to boost the communities I used to frequent.
I'm trying to boost and upvote as I scroll. I've feel like I've commented more here than I have in the last several years on reddit.
Tried to make a beer- themed magazine but I have no clue what I'm doing.
I've had a 'passion' for programming for all my life, but recently I've been getting into a very, very emotional state over stuff like tooling and small things like that. The smallest things make me go off these days, and I feel so tired after every discussion. Feeling like I am in the wrong or that I don't know what I'm talking...
Not sure what you have or haven't tried but there's a strong correlation between certain types of neurodivergence, depression, anxiety, imposter syndrome, and anger issues.
When my depression got out of control it was the anger issues that clued me in and got me to seek help.
If you have not discussed depression/ anxiety meds with your doctor that may be an avenue to help regulate things.

Because they’re (Unilever) still in Russia. One that has the moisturizing effect like Dove. Normal ones don’t work well with my skin....
