where did all the bugs go? (sprays pesticides on lawn) why are there fewer birds than there used to be? (cuts down weeds and bushes and tall grass) what a mystery
  • SuzyQ SuzyQ Now 100%

    We're slowly going #nolawn on our small plot of land (around 0.25 acres). Planted lots flowers during covid lockdown. Garden/flowers have grown wild the past three years. We have these wonderful bush like plants with tiny white flowers and we get all the butterflies, moths, and bees in our yard (even some wasps). Eventually we're going to get the local prairie grass and flowers mixture so our plot can become a mini prairie in town.

  • Instead of having customers donate a dollar and giving them a coupon book "worth" $30, why doesn't KFC just donate those $30 themselves (or even half)?
  • SuzyQ SuzyQ Now 100%

    I don't have a useful answer, but I commiserate with you. Last time I went to one the lady in the drive through really REALLY tried to keep pushing that coupon book on me. No. I don't want it. We don't come by here that often. I don't care if it'll save me money now because it won't in the long run.

    Honestly, it left a really bad taste in my mouth with how pushy she was after I repeatedly said "no."

  • And nobody would get your references
  • SuzyQ SuzyQ Now 100%

    I'll join in on the obscure movies that defined my childhood and teen years...

    Texas Across the River, Warriors of the Wind (horrible cut and dub of Nauiscaa of the Valley of the Wind), Sea Prince and Fire Child (we rented the tape so much that eventually they sold it to us because we were also the last ones to rent it), Anime version of The Little Mermaid, animated Hobbit and Return of the King, Fairies, Mio and the Land of Far Away

    ... That's all of the obscure ones I can think of at the moment.

  • What's your most profound "small world" moment?
  • SuzyQ SuzyQ Now 100%

    Not mine, but my dad's that I was there to witness.

    It was summer (90s) and we were all camping at a lake. My sister and I were playing with some kids while my dad was chatting up the other kids' dad. Just as I was getting out of the water I hear the other dad exclaim "you remind me of a guy I used to know called [name]!" My dad laughs and says "I am [name]." Turns out they used to go to school together decades before.

    It's stuck with me all these years, and has somewhat been turned into an inside joke within our family.

    Thank you for sharing this! I haven't booted up my PS5 in months... Can this be used without their monthly subscription thing? I didn't see that mentioned on the remote play website, so I figured I'd ask the stupid question.

  • World of Goo 2 is available now! The fluid flickers with possibilities.
  • SuzyQ SuzyQ Now 92%

    Unsure. From the way they word it on their website it doesn't sound that way:

    Why is it on Epic and not on Steam?

    World of Goo 2 would not exist if Epic had not helped us fund the game! We were able to hire artists and engineers for multiple years to help us build the biggest game we've ever made. We're grateful for this! You've likely seen similar arrangements with other games, and I imagine ours is comparable.

    If you don't use Epic, that's ok. You can always get World of Goo 2 right here on this page, DRM-free, for Win / Mac / Linux. Just scroll up there. And if you have a Nintendo Switch, you can get it on the eShop directly on your device.

    After your purchase on their site you get directed to Humble Bundle. I did not see it on my list of purchases, but I was able to download it using the link I received right after purchasing via my email.

    Me, explaining to the social special education evaluators about the words my then three year old could say and use correctly: he'll say "oh shit" in the right context

    Them: both laughing We can't put that down officially, but it's impressive that he uses it correctly

    Yes, most toddlers will repeat it to parrot it back and then keep doing it because any reaction from the adults is a good reaction.

  • How do you clean your smart watch?
  • SuzyQ SuzyQ Now 100%

    I clean my Samsung watch with a wet wipe (the kind you use on human skin - like a baby wipe or "flushable" wipe -- which isn't, never flush those things), and dry the face/underside with a smooth microfiber cloth. The band I have is some form of leather, so yrmv.

    My skin can't stand silicone bands so I stick to metal or leather.

  • I am in need of some help. I'm trying to find a good portable monitor for my steamdeck. I don't need it to be huge, 12inches minimum, but I'm not having much luck with my own research. I would like low latency, high refresh rate, and colors as close to the same as on the og LCD deck (which is what I have). I have the official dock, so it would need to be able to connect through that as well. Thanks in advance for any help!

    Original post here: https://lemmy.world/post/1720916 *Yes, different instance account but same user. I link all my instance accounts on my profile page for transparency.* **FINALLY** after months of frustration I have figured it out - and it was with the help of my 8yo (8 year old [child]). 8yo is the 7yo from my first post. A birthday came and went while figuring this mess out. I believe this was a fault of the Microsoft parental controls with Minecraft, and various Minecraft online spin-off games, and NOT Nintendo's. 8yo added 6yo as a **Cross-platform friend** using 6yo's Xbox gamertag on Minecraft on their tablet. Then we all went through the *hand mom your switches so she can type this mess out for you* and they added each other as friends. Problem solved?! Nope. Not quite yet. This was step one. Step two was me going into the Xbox Family app on my phone, and changing the following settings: * Decide if [redacted] can add friends without your approval ✅ Allowed * Choose who [redacted] can communicate with on Xbox Live ✅ Everyone Under Minecraft specifically * See and upload community creations: Decide whose community creations [redacted] can see. Blocking this may affect whether [redacted] can upload their own creations to games. ✅ Everyone * Clubs: This lets [redacted] create, join, and follow clubs for all allowed games, including Minecraft Realms. ✅ Allowed I had already allowed the Minecraft multiplayer option before and that alone didn't work. I also set up everyone as a favorite friend, and they can all play together across Minecraft, Minecraft Dungeons, and Minecraft Legends on their switches. I feel like this process was way too convoluted. There may be some options I turned on that don't need to be on, but I'm including what I did specifically on the off chance that there's another frustrated parent out there with multiple kids wanting to play local multiplayer on Minecraft on their switches while logged into their Microsoft account. Edit: fixed auto correct fails because words are hard
