If you've ever found yourself missing the "good old days" of the , what is it that you miss? (Interpret "it" broadly: specific websites? types of activities? feelings? etc.) And approximately when were those good old days?

No wrong answers — I'm working on an article and wanted to get some outside thoughts.

@Jonricha@hoosier.social avatar

Hey, #HoosierMast, I’d like to get some solar panels installed on my roof, and I’m intimidated because I know there’s a lot of scammy companies out there. Anyone have any advice, on installers or literally anything else #solar?

@Jonricha

I think @jcrabapple recently got solar installed. He isn’t in Indiana, but might still have some advice.

Anyone have an (overpriced) Ridge wallet? They now have a MagSafe version and even given the price I'm seriously considering picking one up. I have an Apple MagSafe Wallet today but I want to carry more cards (plus I kinda hate this thing, getting cards out with 3 cards in it is a bitch). I'm a fan of the "idea" of a MagSafe wallet (just not Apple's implementation), which is why the new Ridge is tempting.

@NefariousAryq

I feel like it is suspicious how many replies I have saying “yeah, I own that!” But, ummm, yeah. I have a Ridge wallet! It is just a regular old model, not MagSafe. I’d say it is…fine. Absolutely overpriced. But, very durable. One of the biggest draws was the RFID blocking. I have about 6 or 7 cards in there at any given time and sometimes it is tricky to leaf through them to find the one you need. I tend to keep the most used in front or back to make it easier.

So, the REAL important question is:

Bears, Texans, or Falcons?

@Jaden3

I’m in Indiana and a Colts fan. We had a great run with Manning and Luck, and I’m hopeful with Richardson. But the AFC South is a whole lot different than it used to be. Stroud is legit.

A friend convinced me to start reading the Stormlight Archive book series.

I knew Brandon Sanderson also did some of the last Wheel of Time books and I had a real hard time sticking with that series. Something with the writing style didn't hook me. I was expecting these books to hit me the same way, but so far it's been a pretty easy read.

@weston

I’m not big on fantasy so I started with the Steelheart series. After that I hit all of the Mistborn stuff and thought most of it was pretty fun. How does Stormlight compare on the Fantasy scale?

First thing you should know is the proprietor is great. I was a little concerned this might be a right wing nut location ... But nope! Highly recommend this weird little place. His spiel is great.

I don’t have any “critter repellent” on hand at the moment and I’ve got a squirrel that has twice today dug in my planter on the porch so I just sprinkled dehydrated minced garlic, red pepper flake, and dried jalapeño over the mulch.

TRY AGAIN, FRIEND. I DARE YOU.

@NefariousAryq

Update: the plan backfired. The squirrel brought a bag of tortilla chips, a jar of pico, and a six pack. He has set up tiki torches and a bluetooth speaker.

Biggie Announcement: I'm officially a ! Woohoo!

My comedy 10-minute play "Carthago Delenda Est" was selected to be produced - with real actors on stage - for the Civic Theatre of Greater Lafayette's Play Festival! I'm giddy with all the good feelings. 🤩 If you're in over the last weekend in June, come out and see it!

Thanks to all the people who helped proofread, and gave me suggestions to make it better.

What is the function of the "Notes" field that we see on profiles? It seems that when I add a note, I get a confirmation that it's "saved", but when I come back to the profile, nothing is there (usually). Sometimes I also see the note on other profiles (especially if I click "back" to get to another profile). I tried this on multiple accounts -- on my Mastodon server, on another Mastodon server, and on a Lemmy server. I guess I'll need to submit a bug report, but I can't even find basic documentation about how this is supposed to behave.

@DecaturNature

I think it is supposed to be a little breadcrumb for yourself, like why you followed this person or how you know them. I’ve had luck using them just as you’re describing, so unfortunately I’m not able to help troubleshoot. I can only confirm that it seems like you’re doing it right!

My son and I ran up to Indy over the weekend to catch an Indy Eleven match (soccer/football) and to meet up with our cousins we haven’t seen for a while. It was nice to be back home again in Indiana ;)

Sorry I forgot about this thread until my wife and I were just talking about it. It is totally the door to the place we stayed. I mean, there were several floors to this building and several apts but we were on 4. We loved it. Great location. Everyone goes to Mercato Centrale but we hit the Mercato di Sant’Ambrogio several times during our stay. I would get coffee at the little store just down on the corner in the morning. I can’t believe the coincidence!

Guys, it’s happening! My daughter is becoming Mastodon-curious. She asked me if there was a server for D&D. I got to say yes, but also explain that you can follow anyone from any server. I got “ah ah ah, i see.”

I need to remind myself to slowly and gently blow on this ember.
