Wow, very pretty!! 🤩

Thank you!!!!

They used a big word: "graciously"

They must be the smartest person on the planet! Make them president!!!

Oh, goodness, this is the first time I've ever heard about Invidious. So my imagination jumped the gun and I didn't give this gorgeous visual revamp the credit that it's due! Thanks for your hard work!

I used that for a bit and I recall it was a little obtuse to just put in the number of calories you had for a meal. Instead, it's almost like it expected you to create a recipe for every meal you cooked with the exact ingredients and stuff.

Did they ever fix that, or is there an easy work around?

Aha! I've finally found someone to talk to about that! I'm pretty unfamiliar with the franchise. I think I briefly played the first game on mobile, but know very little.

What's so engaging about the first game and what makes you look forward to a second one?

Oh my goodness, the exact same thing happened with me and Guild Wars 2!!! 😱

I was a teenager at the time and my family burned logs to keep the house warm in winter. My Dad upgraded the smoke detectors so that they were all linked. In other words, if one alarm went off in the basement (where the wood burner was) then every detector in the house would go off.

This sounds great in theory, but in reality it turns out that the detectors would go off on a near weekly basis. Whenever someone tossed logs in the burner and smoke escaped. We got desensitized to the beeping and it became second nature to just cancel the alarm when it happened.

Fast forward to the closed beta for Guild Wars 2 and I was up late, trying to play every possible minute that I could before the weekend was over. My door was closed, headphones on, and I was REALLY immersed.

The smoke detector started beeping. And it kept beeping over and over and over. Normally, at this point my parents would've cancelled it. That kind of struck me as odd, so I opened my door.

Ruh roah, raggy.

A wall of smoke was on the other side of the door. And the smell was NOTHING like the usual wood burner smell. It really hurt to breathe and my eyes were not having a good time either.

After shaking my Dad awake, we called the fire department, got all the animals out, and nobody got hurt. The damage was serious, but the entire house didn't go up. The upstairs needed rebuilt and there was a fair bit of smoke damage.

I don't want to think about what would've happened if I wasn't up playing that closed beta 😅

Sorry for your loss, friend.

I've tried to talk my husband into adding some rats into our family SEVERAL times. Usually I feel like I'm making compelling points and am close to convincing him. But then he usually hits me with the question: "How are you going to handle losing them after a few years?"

I never have a good answer to that one 😥

Oh that's kind of nice! I'll have to look out for that next year!

Woah, with that many hours is there anything specific you're looking forward to?

I've had some luck blocking instances within mobile apps, but that doesn't scale well if the number of toxic instances is constantly growing. I'm curious to see how this gets addressed in the long run (or if it is left as is, since it is technically working as designed).

Oh wow, have you tried any of them out? Do they work well?
