I am looking to start getting into this. But I have never enjoyed writing. I also feel a little iffy knowing that my diaries are sitting around somewhere in my room and my family can find it at any moment. If I were to type it would be faster, more secure as I can encrypt it, and it would not get lost as easily as I can upload...
I’ve done both, though I have been typing mostly over the last couple of years.
There are those who feel that the act of writing by hand, while slower, can have benefits that typing doesn’t. Not sure I believe that, though I do believe that for some, hand writing is just the more enjoyable way to go.
For me, I write in Org Mode, which for this purpose is kind of like Markdown. I use Emacs on my computer, and an app called Plain Org on my phone.
I bet most tall towers sway a bit, and are designed to do so. Though from the top, I couldn’t feel it swaying.
I doubt a photo would be able to capture the level of sway that happens. The effect I captured in the photo I think is due to the subtle concave angle of the sides, accentuated by the angle of the photo.
There’s that, and there was a huge wait to get up to the top. It felt like we went from one line, to another to another, probably 6 times in total before we got in the elevator. The kids still liked it though.
And even though it’s safe, it doesn’t feel safe. I think they have replaced the glass from what you see in this picture. I think they have new glass that doesn’t require the cross piece that you see here. Not that it makes a difference from a safety perspective, but you do feel like you’re floating out there. Lots of grown people who refused to step on that glass!
Tell me what is the most recent game that you played that could be considered obscure to the average person. For me it would have to be cdda/cataclysm:Dark Days Ahead. This screenshot was made by me if you’re wondering.
Been in early access for a little over 8 years, and it has been fun to see it evolve and grow over that time. They just announced that version 1.0 will release next year!
I used to have a 32x back in the day, but you know, Sega did what they did, and it didn’t really pan out. I thought the mushroom system was cool tech, but lamented how little value it added to the Genesis. I essentially gave it away....
In Ontario, Canada, 500/500 fibre from Bell. I pay $60/month, though this is a promotional rate for 2 years. I think I will be paying double after the 2 years.
I can imagine people having fun getting lost in the flow of playing a competitive sport. I’ve also heard some people experience a post-workout high. But does anyone actually feel pleasure in the moment while lifting weights, jogging, cycling, etc?...
Lifting: I definitely don’t like while I’m doing it.
Riding my bike though: it’s great to get out there early in the morning and explore, see nature, etc. with the bike, I also just like the feeling of speed, so the physical act of riding can actually be enjoyable.
To a lesser degree, the same can apply to running. I find that when I’ve been in better shape, I could experience that runner’s high.
They installed fibre optic Internet in my neighbourhood a while back, and this is what the cable ducts look like. Also interesting to see how these get installed, with a sort of huge needle/drill on tracks.
People who keep journals or diaries, do you hand write or type?

I re-purchased a Sega 32X. I don't know why... (lemmy.world)

What is your internet service plan? (kbin.social)
How much do you pay? How fast are your your real world speeds? Where are you located?
Does anyone actually enjoy working out?

Fibre optic cable ducts look kind of neat
