I had been wanting to learn how to play the guitar for years, but laziness, i guess, kept me from it. I picked it up with moderate seriousness and am very greatful i did. I wish i would’ve started sooner.
Parenting, since our first child was born in September of 2020. Still giving it a go. We just had a 2nd child this July, so I guess you could say things are getting pretty serious.

I don't know what CUPS is, but I had 3 major reservations about switching my barely functional computer to Linux:
Ive never worked in Linux before
My dive computer only uploads to proprietary software using a proprietary cable.
My Brother laser printer was working SO well wirelessly. It's the first time I've ever not hated my printer
Turns out some amazing people made open source dive logging software so I can still download my dives.
And for printing, I meant to get around to setting it up, then one day I forgot and accidentally printed something and it just worked. I was so shocked that for a bit I assumed that reformatting the hard drive and changing operating systems must've somehow preserved my printer settings.
I had an apartment in Indiana. When I gave directions to my house I used to say, "turn right at the traffic light. There's corn on the left, my house is on the right. If you hit the soy you've gone too far."
This was my first time diving at Harvey's Lake. Vis was not great and the boat traffic FELT like it was too close, but it's not like I could actually see them. We did manage to recover a plastic ring and a small fan that must've fallen off of a boat at some point....
As the title suggests, trying to find anything in someone else’s kitchen is almost always a frustrating experience. Everyone seems to have a different idea about where to put things.
Talk to someone who went on previous trips on the Titan submersible and they’re likely to mention a technology glitch. The propulsion system failed or the communications with people on the surface cut out. They are also likely to mention Stockton Rush. He's the OceanGate Expeditions CEO who died this week on the sub. Rush has...
Mine is going to be laid back if all goes according to plan. I'm going to do some birding with a friend tomorrow morning, then I'm headed to a used bookstore to buy a copy of "the pricess bride" that I talked myself out of the other day (I've never read it). Then I'm hitting the farmers market and then relaxing at home for the...
Thanks! Yeah, I just meant it figuratively. We walked to the church bazaar and she's been gardening and trimming roses here and at her mom's. We have an almost 3 year old so even sedentary time is very active.

I would normally test the crap out of these before posting since I really don't know what I'm doing, but I'm on my phone and mostly busy at the moment. Sorry if it doesn't work.
It's better than "no censorship". It's "whatever censorship you and your instance agree on".
Don't like the rules at beehaw? Cool, leave beehaw! Too many boobs in your "all" feed? Cool, block the domain or join an instance that doesn't federate with them. It's just SO much better this way for everybody.

As part of my onboarding, I watched a YouTube video explaining the FEDIVERSE at some conference that took place a few years ago. He succinctly described the benefits of having instance-level moderation/TOS by calling it,
"The freedom of speech, and the freedom to filter
I really like that the platform itself doesn't impose that, but every community gets to choose what's best for them.
I think I would like the FEDIVERSE even when its the "old thing" just because as far as I can tell, the product itself seems like a terrible place for investments and profits. Then again, I could be WAY off here.
Also, at the moment, there's an almost complete lack of marketing/advertising, which is REALLY nice.
I haven't been on here as much as normal as I've had a busy week(for me). How is everyone? Anything cool happen?Anything to get off your chest? Or Just shoot the breeze
Quite busy. We were booked up every night all weekend with parties, class reunions, and father's day shenanigans. Also we're taking care of a lot of business that needs to be taken care of before our 2nd baby arrives (probably Wednesday). It's been a weekend!
What is something like a hobby or skill that you belive almost anybody should give a try, and what makes your suggestion so good compared to other things?...
At work, I have a reputation for being the guy who never shuts up about trying to get new people into scuba diving. If there are 2 or more divers at the lunch table I honestly feel a little bad for everybody else. The cost of getting trained and renting or buying all your gear can scare people away, but I would at least strongly recommend that anybody on an island vacation or cruise at least try a "discover Scuba" class. You'll learn everything you need to know to not die by watching a quick video, and working in a pool, then you get to go have an amazing dive in the ocean with an instructor.
Hello all and welcome to scuba. I really didn't want to create this, but the only other scuba group I found was /m/scuba@mander.xyz (scuba@mander.xyz), and I've been trying and failing to make a post stick there for a couple of days....
They certainly didn't lack compassion. Like, if you were one of theirs, they'd give you the shirt off their back and infinite second chances. 2 of the kindest, most caring people you'd ever meet.... But yeah, they were also very capable of dehumanizing people and not giving a damn.
I used to work for a small, family owned business. At lunch the wife of the owner was reading an article in paper and said, "90% of this school district is close enough to the poverty line that they receive free/reduced breakfast and lunch, because there's a good chance those are their only reliable meals for the week." Then she looks up from the paper and says "Can you believe that? They're giving away breakfast now, too!"
What hobbies did you pick up during the pandemic and have you been able to keep them up?
