Is Pepsi ok? in c/comicstrips@lemmy.world
[–] 11 points 11 months ago

This reminds me of the time I went on vacation with my brother (solid coke only guy; ftr I don't drink soda, I drink tea, that's a whole other meltdown in similarity lol) and we wound up in a "1950's" cosplaying shopping square. Coke memorabilia EVERYWHERE. My brother was dying cause all the stores and restaurants we'd been to were Pepsi only. He excitedly goes into the convenience store with a display window full of coca cola bottles, a coca cola fridge and a COCA COLA SOLD HERE sign.

Pepsi only lol. Next time we went on vacation I bought him a 24 pack ahead of time and made space for it in my suitcase.

    Just from DMing perspective I feel this when my players decide to fight a NPC they weren't supposed to fight at a level I don't have a block for lol. "Well your options are cr3 and cr10 and you're level 7 so....10 it is and imma just shave some stuff off while hoping for the best" lol. Shout-out to every time my party says they're looking for shady people to circumvent the legal way to do something then balk when the pricetag isn't a handshake and an IOU their reputation proceeds them will never be collected.

    Why do some people hate drinking water? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
    [–] 3 points 1 year ago

    I'm not a mineral person going to be honest (I work in healthcare lol), so not sure I can really answer your questions. Also sorry being a bit cagey didn't want to dox myself before a google, like felt 99% sure this was a common mineral, but again not a mineral person.

    Basically I lived in some foothills along a ravine made of granite. Home 1 I think we had a neighborhood well and home 2 was a personal well. I can't list the equipment being used to soften the water (if at all), I just know neither were on town water and home 2 I helped my dad install a softener since there wasn't one (which tbh didn't help too much besides making the water coming out of the faucet less cloudy and mildly less thirst inducing).

    I don't think my hometown has a lot of limestone (idk may be wrong, like said I'm not a mineral person, all I know it's a granite ravine) so can't comment too much beyond that. This was just my experience with water growing up and what put me off it for a long time.

    Bit confused here. There's levels to water hardness and what I listed you'd know pretty much instantly. It doesn't sneak up on you or anything. If it makes you feel better I grew up in a town on a ravine lol it was all rock. You may not be dealing with the same situation.

    ETA also limestone wasn't the mineral that was the issue there, was a different one

    I drink it now...on town water lol. Growing up outside of town proper in my area it did not taste good and left you more thirsty than when you started drinking it. The water was hard enough taking a shower felt like washing down with iron wool and if you stayed in more than five minutes you came out peeling. I was actually amazed the first time I lived in a town center on town water and the water didn't make my skin feel raw lol. I was floored when I lived in a beach town and not only was the water mild, something in the area made the water taste slightly sweet and enjoyable to drink instead of "somewhat metallic from old pipes, but inoffensive cause it's thirst quenching instead of thirst exacerbating".

    Need some suggestions for Audible credits (lemmy.world)
     

    I have five credits on audible and looking to discontinue the service since I don't use it too much (believe I lose the credits if I haven't spent them when I discontinue). Looking for some recs to spend my five on before I discontinue. I'm open to anything except straight up school textbooks/self-help/religion and political guides/so much porn uptime headphones are absolutely required in a house with other people lol.

    Rn my library is The Martian and Project Hail Mary, some He Who Fights With Monsters, American Gods, some The Hangman's Daughter and The Faithful Executioner. My non-audible libraries cover a wide range like a history of Charlie Chaplain fighting spiritualists, Greek BC city state warfare, Star Trek novels, The Princess Diaries and Percy Jackson series, Andrew Lang's fairy books, Water Margin, Altered Carbon, etc so really wide open to suggestions from across the board.

    [Mod Post] Community Update (lemmy.world)
     

    Hello! Your friendly mod PassingDuchy again with a few community updates!

    Reddit and Discord Hobby Drama communities

    I did reach out to both communities. The response from both is that they're not interested in affiliating. As such we won't be linking to either community in the sidebar to respect their wishes. Going forward please don't send either community messages about partnering with this community (though I appreciate everyone who did! It was a big help).

    Reposting

    Based on the previous discussion post we will be encouraging an opt-out request be sent to authors, but not requiring. The only requirement currently is that the full text is reposted and a link to the original post is included at the top or bottom of the repost.

    14 Day Rule

    The 14 day rule for all drama being concluded (outside of Round Up) will remain instituted.

    Post Titles

    As Lemmy doesn't currently have flairs/tags, we will be requiring a little extra work on post titles to help community searchability. Your title must include:

    • [Repost] for reposts from another community (reddit or otherwise). Reposts must include the full text and a link to the original post at the top or bottom of the repost. At this time non-text posts (podcasts, YouTube videos, etc) are not allowed. If you want to link those you may link them in the weekly Hobby Round Up.
    • A [History] tag if your post is a professional history related to a hobby. History is for only professionals having drama with no hobbyists involved (industry drama). This is a little extra work, but a compromise for people who are solely here to read about hobbyists and not industry drama. Ex. A post about the history of F1 would be [History], but a post about fan efforts to have a specific racer removed would be hobbyist drama.
    • [Hobby] please keep this to the general hobby eg video games, knitting, board games, TV shows, music, apparel, etc.
    • OPTIONAL [Specific Hobby] this is mostly useful for designating a specific fandom, band, brand, platform, etc (eg if your write-up general hobby is music, you might put Taylor Swift here to note the drama is about her specific fandom).
    • We will not be requiring markers for post length. If your post exceeds the character count and needs to be continued in the comments, please link to the continued comment chain in your main post (currently mods can't pin other users' comments so we can't assist here).
    • A full title should look something like: [Video Games][Old School Runescape] The hat scandal OR [Repost][History][Music] Fyre Festival controversies.

    Hobby Round Up/Scuffles

    A general megapost for all breaking hobby drama (14 day rule will not apply), news, chat, posts that don't fit the rules, links to articles/podcasts/videos, etc will go up on Mondays (I'm currently looking into figuring out an automod bot to do this to ensure regularity). I've changed the name to Round Up in the hope that users who use both the Lemmy and Reddit communities will see the different title in their tabs and have less confusion when posting between both.

    Hobby Town Hall/Community Discussion

    Hobby Community Discussion will be like the subreddit's Town Hall and go up on the first of the month. As we are a smaller community this will go up on the monthly first to be used for a four month period and be pinned for the duration. Community suggestions, improvements and concerns should be posted to Community Discussion. If possible please use reports for any immediate concerns as the mod team can coordinate best for immediate response via the modlog. Our first Community Discussion will go up on September 1st 2023 and last until the next one on January 1st 2024.

    [Mod Post] Hobby Drama Rules Discussion (lemmy.world)
     

    Hey there! This is obviously a community in the vein of the reddit Hobby Drama subreddit, but I wanted to check in to see where we want to draw a few rules as a community. So to that end:

    REPOSTING FROM REDDIT

    I did see a few people were interested in having a bot auto repost from the reddit sub and most of our posts are reposts. My question here is should we have an anything from another site (reddit or otherwise) is fair game to repost with proper credit (let's try to keep those links back to original write-ups, I feel this is only fair to the authors) rule or should permission be obtained from the author first for reposts (basically like r/bestofredditorupdates on reddit)?

    DRAMA RESOLUTION WAITING PERIOD

    The reddit sub has a 14 day waiting period for drama to conclude before a post can go up. As we're obviously a smaller community I don't see the need to be as stringent, but waiving the waiting period could lead to a lot of biased hot take posts. Would the community like to see the waiting period waived, lowered, remain?

    ETA: this post is open for discussion until 7/24 so please do add your opinion even if you feel "late" to the discussion! It's my goal to have the community rules updated by Friday 7/28 to fit our community a little better and knowing how our community feels as migration from reddit continues to take place will be a big assist.
