EmptyRadar, in How often do you read fiction and how do you manage to do it?

I read 30 - 60 books each year, depending on how busy I am. Mainly this is done via audiobooks - I read about 80% of my books that way while I'm doing mindless tasks like cleaning, cooking, chores etc. I also keep a book on my nightstand and I read every night before bed, often in the morning when I wake up as well.

Join us over in /m/books by the way!

Nemo, in Why are some Lemmy communities/magazines not appearing in kbin?

They’ll show 404 until they’re federated, and they won’t federate until someone on Kbin requests them. So check back a few minutes later and it’ll probably load.

And like magic, now it is federating (but there have been no posts since).

JohnDClay, in What do YOU want for Christmas/winter holiday this year?

I’m looking forward to building some Legos with my siblings. I’m getting us a set, and it’s always fun to build together.

Sounds like fun. Do you know which set you're going to buy?

JohnDClay,

I already picked something up a while ago on sale, but it was a while ago so hopefully I’ll forget what it is by Christmas! Wrapping will be a challenge though…

I'd like an Xbox Series X. I held off getting one when it first came out, but I feel like now's a good time to get one.

YuzuDrink,

Especially if you can afford GamePass, it’s never been a better time!

Nemo, in What do YOU want for Christmas/winter holiday this year?

I don’t own a copy of my favorite book (Galactic Pot-Healer by Philip K. Dick).

And I’m running low on nice loose-leaf teas.

3d printer. I’ll even buy it for myself and wrap it up

tallwookie, in What do YOU want for Christmas/winter holiday this year?

nothing really - I’ll buy myself a few gadgets, but I honestly dont need more things.

JWBananas, in What are some mostly universal gifts for thanking people for doing you a big favor or being good hosts?
@JWBananas@startrek.website avatar

A hand-written thank-you card means a lot in the age of the Internet

Very true

In my country a bouquet of flowers.

Flowers is an interesting one, even if the receiver is a man? In Mexico, US, and probably a lot of Canada this would be seen as either a romantic advance or a joke unless you have a very intimate (can be platonic) relationship with them already and generally just for women even then

luthis, in What are some mostly universal gifts for thanking people for doing you a big favor or being good hosts?

Lower class : box of beer ( brown glass) or a tinny

Upper lower : box of beer ( green glass) or a fifty

middle class : flowers, tickets to the rugby , or vouchers for a fancy restaurant

Upper middle and beyond : I’ll tell you when I get there

Haha yeah, alcohol tends to be an easy one. I always offer to share my fancy tequilas/liquor (my mom gives them to me haha) or a round of top shelf weed with friends who drink/smoke.

Devi,

This whole class/glass colour made me think US, but you said rugby which they don't have there do they? Where are you from??

luthis,

NZ, but don’t read too much into the class thing. It’s mostly, green glass = more expensive, but it’s not always the case.

Devi,

Oh interesting. class is definitely not glass colour related in the UK.

I really want a Novation Summit but I’ll have to dream on.

I would love a trailer hitch installed on my car so I can buy a nice bike rack.

Adramis, in What do YOU want for Christmas/winter holiday this year?

Rest and financial stability.

YuzuDrink, in What do YOU want for Christmas/winter holiday this year?

I’m considering an Asus ROG Ally. Already have a Steam Deck, but using my GoG library and EGS freebies is awkward, and Xbox GamePass as well. The Ally seems like a good way to get all that natively via Windows, plus a better looking screen than the Deck…
