My first time driving in snow ever was in January. From Columbia, MD, through DC into Arlington, VA. At 5.30 AM. Big truck guys we the most guys on the snow. I drove a FWD 05 Jetta and drive painfully slowly and made it. Patience and sensibility paid off abundantly.

AIMP cause I can set the equalizer specifically for each song and auto switch when the song comes up.

Used this in an 05 Jetta until earlier this year. It handled calls too.

43 Male. I want kids but I am currently financially unsuitable. At some point though, I plan on it. I can appreciate being single and childless. I have done quite a bit of stuff, but, I have the urge to raise kids and have a family. It feels like there is a part of me not quite there.

The irony

Got locked out of my PayPal account but I apparently can't close it.

A couple of years ago I was running a growing loans business on r/loans and the other one. One day, I got scammed. Loaned someone money and when it came to pay day, they reported me to welch out of the deal.

It took 180 days to get the money I had on my account. I tried closing the account and PayPal would not let me. It's been years and all I get are notices of terms and marketing stuff. I try to unsubscribe and it keeps coming so I mark it as spam but Gmail does not care.

Permanently Linux since 2001. Debian is life.

This. For the past 3 months I've been driving down the 95 at dawn. Around 5.30 AM it's every person for themselves. Around this time, people casually cruise at 80mph. The person forcing you to move from the overtaking lane while your car is breaking a sweat at 85mph is an unmarked cop car trying to get to wherever faster than you are. Cops drive far worse here. It's the one place PG cops just let shit slide. You don't bring your nonsense to the 95 at dawn.

I write about bad guys. All my characters are bad guys. One is greedy and manipulative, whereas the other one is a violent sociopath, while the other is a womaniser and finally a thrill junkie who loves to watch people get beat up. I'm working on the aspect that the sociopath and thrill junkie are also serial arsonists.

I don't agree with what my characters do, but they represent an untold story. I have little interest in making my characters likeable and instead more like the person they are supposed to be. Bad guys.

Lol

I changed cars in January and the car I previously drove, an 05, Jetta had a tape deck. I bought this to connect my phone. Surprised that it handled calls as well.

No idea.

I'm sorry. I thought I had replied to this. Yes. That Grav.

Support his development. I will pay to remove the ads at some point when I am not being lazy. Many people like him because he listens, makes changes, has tremendous support and so on. Not to say that others don't but that is just how we roll.

You are my people.

I make due with a Unihertz Titan Slim. Not the best, but with custom ROMs, a temporary relief. I will buy another one or two but after that, I have no idea what next. Hopefully, someone else with make limited edition niche devices.

One of the best decisions I made, two years later. 💪

I self host a Grav site among other things on a 15 Euro VPS.

Also, I started with Ghost but the fact that they locked up the newsletter side of business to a single provider and were unwilling to rework things at the time made me walk away. Yes, I know you could go code side, and add others, but that was a complicated setup in itself. Grav works perfectly for me.

He is the dev who made Boost.

Grav.

I am currently using this to do exactly what you are doing. I moved from Ghost cause of many reasons. Can share links in PM if you want.

Absolutely.

I'm all for Libre but in this case @rmayayo@lemmyworld is my leader.

Summer. All year if possible.

Been this way for many years. Ads don't bother me. And if its continuous help, then we roll with it. But someday I may do the thing.
