Chicago has a weirdly high number of mattress chain stores. There's a stretch near me that has 3 of them in the span of 4 blocks. They've all been there for awhile and there's rarely ever anyone in them. No way these are legit businesses considering how often people buy mattresses.

From what I've seen most of the K dramas on Netflix have 8 to 16 episodes and tell a complete story which makes them the perfect length if you don't want to commit to a show spanning hundreds of episodes. Some of my favorites in addition to Beyond Evil and Extracurricular which were both top notch:

My Name

Itaewon Class

Kingdom

The Glory

Stranger

Sweet Home

Law School

Hotel del Luna

Bloodhounds (currently watching)

These are all over the map thematically so hope you find one or more you enjoy!

I spent more than $20 on a pizza the other day. Considering the many hundreds, if not thousands of hours, I used Sync for Reddit over 5 or 6 years, $20 is a no brainer. That said, I wouldn't pay the $100 lifetime considering because I don't need the perks associated with it and who knows if Lemmy will be around that long (I hope it will but you never know).

That wallpaper is great!

I don't understand the "slowly" part at all. I joined Lemmy about a month ago when Reddit third party apps went dark. Lemmy was largely a ghost town then, with most of the relatively mainstream communities I sought out having newest posts that were days or even weeks old. That desolation was gone after the first few days, with a ton more engagement from others who migrated over and a steady stream of new content. The communities I frequent have grown by leaps and bounds since then. "Slow" isn't a word I'd use to describe Lemmy's growth.

Niagara with a few minor settings tweaks.

Amen. Not so much an issue for 40 year old me but I had so many friends in my younger days who didn't own one because they didn't think they needed it...until they needed it.

Somebody mentioned Dr. Pimple Popper to me recently and I thought they were making up an over-the-top fake reality show title. Imagine my shock when I found out that it was a real show. There's a reason I haven't watched anything aside from sports on network/cable TV in years.

No joke, I felt like a luddite after trying to click the "X" in the upper right of an embedded tweet to close it earlier this afternoon on my laptop.

Whoa, I didn't even notice that the community keyword search actually worked and does so across instances. Thanks for the heads up!

I was very happy with Voyager which is great for a PWA but I'm in utter awe at how good the Sync beta is. I was expecting a minimum viable product that still needed a lot of updates but it's amazingly polished from the start and basically works exactly as the Reddit version did. It's always good to have options and I'm glad the Lemmy app scene seems to be flourishing.
