Have you tried Bulleit Rye?

It’s cheap ($35) but quite good. I always bring a bottle to family gatherings because my SIL makes a mean Manhattan and that’s her preferred brand.

Wow! Your search engine is fast. Nice layout, simple, clean. I really like it!

So we can use your magic?

• You can write your journal on Standard Notes and publish it on their Listed Blog.
• Check out Bear Blog (no trackers, no javascript)
• If you’re happy here at Lemmy and your instance allows you to create a community, you can lock that down and turn it into a blog.

Good luck!

EDIT You can always link your blog to the social media you already have.

Congratulations!

Yes, you’ll definitely need a good quality ladder and:

– Set of screwdrivers. My Stanleys are over 20 years old

– Separate flathead for kitchen use only (instead of using your forks to open stuff)

– Fire extinguisher (leave one in kitchen)

– All-purpose or silicone caulk and caulk gun. (In case of emergency and if your house is old).

– Scissors

– First Aid Kit (you can make your own, I did)

– Multi-tool or Utility knife (I love my SOG)

– Flashlight (combination of battery-powered, rechargeable, heck even a tealight will do). Ideally, some form of light for each room in the house if you lose power (nothing expensive).

– Shovel and Salt before it snows (If you have pets, get the [blue] pet-friendly salt). Always buy it before it snows. Keep it in the house the night before it snows so you can dig yourself out.

– If your windows are old, read up on removable window film, magnetic window film (3M makes them also)

– 409 (they clean almost everything)

– phone number of a good electrician and plumber (my GC is awesome but she’s stateside only)

– Plunger. Don’t buy the orangey-plastic snake - they don’t work.

– I have DeWalt (and a bunch of batteries) but prefer my Makita. Black & Decker is a toy, don’t do it. Milwaukee sucks. If you’re not using power tools now, don’t buy them or wait until they go on sale.

– Surge protectors (the higher/more joules, the better). You definitely need those.

– WD-40

Canada has some very good quality wind turbines (for home use, not the gigantic ones) that you might want to consider; I hear your solar panels are pretty good, too.

Buy what you can afford; check out thrift shops, yard sales, flea markets for some tools.

Most of all, know your limitations. My house is old and I knew what I could do myself, what I would be willing to do and the rest I need for someone else to do.

Every year you’ll have more questions and we will be here for you… with answers you may or may not like.

Good luck and Enjoy!

“It’s gonna be okay.”

“It’s gonna be okay!”

“Of course it will be okay, I’m the one who’s going to fix it!”

Have you tried DuckDuckGo browser? That’s what I use if I need to view something on YouTube. There’s Enable Duck Player in Settings, mine is set up to open a new window (no ads).

EDIT: No sign up or phone number required. My VPN is always on.

This screenshot is from July 2025 when I got hit with a paywall and was served with a ton of cookies, so I set my VPN to UK, lol.

EDIT: This was around the same time as POTUS hit UK with tariffs.

Eharmony? Somebody posted the same similar question a week or so ago. I read that it was a paid service and you can be as specific about your dating preferences as you want.

I would check it out but… SO is sitting next to me so….

Done. Had to figure out where to go to change my profile pic – didn’t take as long as the video, lol.

I mean personally I rarely downvote.

I agree with @HubertManne, however I’m a bit heavy handed with the Block button and surprised my instance admin hasn’t said anything. It’s kinda long.

Better comments and posts as the kids are busy going back-to-school?

Yesssssssss, @Nemo. My thoughts exactly.

Prison guard. You can’t leave work during your shift, you’re in prison.

Prostitution. My apologies if this subject is taboo. However, it is the oldest profession in the world and stood the test of time. I have a vivid imagination and I’m having trouble imagining what would happen if I’m just not attracted or aroused.

Perhaps our British friends should start wearing the Camera-Shy Hoodie?

Ditto on Wiki’s Current Events Portal and RSS (which you curate yourself). That’s my current setup, I’ve tried others but keep going back to Wiki and RSS. Good luck!

TBH, I haven’t really searched for any info regarding IP address.
I just assumed that everyone here on Lemmy lives behind layers of adblockers and has their VPN Kill Switch toggled ON.

Yes, exactly! This is just what they hoard on iOS devices:

TBH it’s been frustrating to see how watered down the reporting has been this year.

Agreed. Perhaps it’s because they were trying hard to deliver unbiased news (which is boring), whilst every other news station focuses on sensationalism or clickbait to get more viewers.

Regardless, they lost their federal funding anyway simply because they did their job and did it well IMO. Sad.
