Let me know if you'd like a smush of Pine Tar, I'd be happy to send one along.
Thanks for your kind offer! Maybe we could trade samples? I'd gladly try Pine Tar. Would you like one of Stirling's Texas on Fire ?
Yes, I'd love to try Texas on Fire! It's one I've had my eye on for a bit.
Want to send me your address on Matrix?
I'm unfortunately not familiar with Matrix. Is that an app? Messenger? I usually only used the private message feature in my Lemmy app of choice, but if you could direct me I'd gladly set up an account ๐๐ป
It's another protocol for secure decentralized communication. Also offers e2e encryption.
I use Element as a client, but there are others.

Ah, cool! Thanks! I actually saw Element as an app in my F-Droid client, but wasn't sure what it was. Looks very nice! I downloaded the app now and will set up an account tomorrow โ๐ป
Hi, I now have a Matrix link - you can contact me at: https://matrix.to/#/@davewave94:matrix.org
