We have a similar one here in the US. People think if you go outside when it's too cold, you'll get sick.

Most activity, I've seen here: !amateurradio@lemmy.ko4abp.com but there's a lemmy bug that's not showing a bunch of posts. That should be resolved soon.

These are good cheaper radios (The price has gone up a bit)

Ham radio! It's relaxing. My favorite activity is to take my portable gear to parks and operate Parks on the Air.

I was in Hiroshima and found this little Tex-Mex restaurant near the bomb dome. It was great, and I say that as someone originally from Texas. Search for it if you’re ever there.

It's near enough the big city that I can go do fun things when I want, but it's quiet here and not a lot of traffic.

They're pretty much polar opposite ideologies.

I've observed this with a few communities today, both local and federated. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Take my upvote /s

That's already happening here in AskLemmy. 90% of the posts are support questions, and there's a sticky and a sidebar rule specifically banning those.

I've been here 1 month and haven't logged into Reddit since then. I vastly prefer it here. People are friendlier.

I think he mentioned that the app stopped working before the deadline, and then he deleted the token at that point. So Reddit disabled his app early because they’re assholes.

I’ll begrudgingly vote for Biden again. I’d prefer someone further left, but I desperately want to prevent the Rs from winning.

I’ve been a huge fan of the movies since they first came out but didn’t read the books until the beginning of this year. I just wasn’t a reader until recently. I’ve been yearning for some more fantasy but haven’t been able to find anything similar. I tried The Silmarillion but it reads too much like a textbook to me.

What are some other great fantasy books that I might like?

I just made this post and it already showed I had two upvotes, which likely isn’t true. I’ve noticed this every time I’ve made a comment lately. Not sure if it happens with posts.

My in-laws are visiting for a week at the end of next month and they like to visit until late in the evening. However, I typically go to bed at 7 PM because I have to get up at 4 AM to train for my sport before work. I'll have just finished a competition and will be beginning training for another one when they're here.

What's the best way to set boundaries with them without coming across as an asshole? My wife will probably want to stay out later while they're here, so I'll have to figure out a way to compromise.

To make it more interesting, what are some things your in-laws do that annoy you when they visit?

My wife and I are in the mood to watch something terrible. We just watched the langoliers ~~and hackers~~ so something in that vein would be fun.

What are y’all’s favorite shitty movies?

Edit: I have been corrected: hackers is a great movie. I'm sorry everyone.

I'm currently struggling to find my home. I have an account here at lemmy.ml, where most of my posts are, and one at kbin.

Why do you think your instance is the place to be?

I'm about 70% through the second Jurassic Park book and it's ok. People on /r/books seemed to think it was even better than the first, but it feels like a slog compared to the first. I'm looking forward to moving on to Stephen King's The Stand.

I see the subscribed feed, but not a way to browse communities I’ve subscribed to. Is that in progress or am I missing something?
