I hated a runny yolk growing up and I only tolerate them now, but I've always loved solidly cooked eggs. Fried, hard boiled, scrambled. I know a lot of TV and internet chefs say the best scrambled eggs straddle the line between runny and gently cooked, but I'd rather have them overcooked and chewy. I don't currently have an obvious favourite format, but as a child I loved hard boiled eggs so much my parents would use it as a treat. If I was misbehaving they'd threaten to withhold my daily egg, and it would always work.

I've done a decent bit of travelling and felt great joy during those experiences, but the one moment that jumped to mind when reading this thread is from my teenage years.

My first relationship was online and after about a year of long distance we met in person. I flew over and stayed with her family for a few days. I can only describe the emotion I felt as pure euphoria, distilled and undiluted. I'd never tried any drugs but for those few days (and especially the first) it felt like I was both high and in a dream. I've tried to speak about this feeling of euphoria before but I think people always assume I'm talking about sex when that's not the case at all. It was a mixture of anxiety and elation and like a daydream had come to life.

The come down (if it can be called that?) was not quite as intense but hit hard too. For a couple days after returning home I kept questioning if it had all been a dream.

I've never had an experience like that since and I'm not sure I ever will.

I don't know if it counts as feeling "fully alive" but it's what came to mind.

I think this is definitely an interesting proposal and I especially like the idea of the money going where you feel it is needed or deserved.

The main concern I'd have is how many people would actually fill this out and how/if they'll change their choices.

Will people be forced to fill it in every year?

Will they fill it in at all?

Will there be a default selection? Like all to RTÉ, or maybe an even split between all options?

If people don't have to make a selection every year, will they just choose once and never update or change it because it's a hassle?

I'm in my 20s and only once have I ever used a lawn mower that required fuel, and it was pretty old. Unless you're living on a huge tract of land and need a ride-on one, an electric one with a long cord will do the job 99% of the time.

I've never seen a snow blower but I can only imagine it being useful to people living in areas that get a crazy amount of snowfall, otherwise it's overkill.

Besides a lawn mower, there's not really any large powered landscaping tools I can think of that the average person would ever need to outright buy and own.

god I love Senshi

We stay focus 2021.

Currently just use it for backing up KeePass and uni files across two laptops and a phone.

I think it would be fun to use it for storing DRM free games (like from GOG) and sharing them with friends. Create a big dump of games and share them with each other. Maybe even share save files in games where that's common.

I'm optimistic about the future of Lemmy and the 3rd party apps, I'll give Thunder another go if the dev follows through! I saw that Sync is planning to release a Lemmy app which I'd be keen to try, was my main Reddit app for a long time before I switched to Infinity.

I tried out 3 apps total and even with it being a little stuttery, Jerboa has been my favourite so far. I like the layout of the interaction buttons for comments as well as the ability to jump from one comment chain to the next or previous.

I found Thunder to be a very smooth experience but really didn't like that you need to swipe comments to interact, and that the distance you swipe determines whether you upvote or downvote or etc. Perhaps there's a way to change that in the settings but I couldn't easily locate it.
