That's a great and compelling case for Pittsburgh, and I think it will fit in great to the map I'm working on for this trip! Thank you for the recommendation

My husband and I got married earlier this year and figured we would plan a honeymoon later once wedding stress had passed. Now we've started planning and being in the Midwestern United States has us feeling frustrated about travel options that aren't planes, as we do not want to use them.

I discovered the Amtrak Rail Pass yesterday and was wondering if anyone had any experience (or knows of a blog, vlog, etc) where somebody talked about their experience using the pass to do a city-hopping sort of trip/honeymoon/vacation using Amtrak, or the pass specifically. Cursory research didn't show me anything, but I did see that the pass was on sale from $499 to $299 in January, so I am going to keep an eye out and see if they do that again. If so, it seems like a (relatively) cost-effective way to do a longer sort of trip, hitting 6 or so cities along the way.

Any perspectives welcome!

I confess to having an iPhone and other apple products, but they will Always have that "finish setting up" message forever because I will NEVER turn Siri on. Ever.

This barely qualifies as a hobby, but at some point I decided to learn how to count in binary on my fingers. It's handy if you need to hold a number in your head for a bit and can't write things down, or to count past 10 visually on your fingers for somebody. There are probably YouTube videos on it. I literally can't remember where I learned, but I practiced a lot when bored in church. It's relatively non-disruptive and practicing can eat a decent amount of time.

0 materials. Just takes time. Literally free.

Battlestar Galactica and X-Files are comfort watches to have on in the background

I am currently rereading Parable of the Sower because it starts in 2024 and I remembered it being very prescient, but WOW I had forgotten how powerful it really was.

Very cool project! I'll admit my first thought was "not worth the trouble to fix" but I appreciate being challenged. The final product kept the knives out of a landfill and seem to be working great for you!

As someone considering moving and new cities, nowhere on the sun belt is on my list for this exact reason.

You gotta follow some people, and also hashtags. Following hashtags made a huge difference populating my feed. There's no algorithm so you get to/have to choose what you want to see.

I also use the ice cubes app for mastodon, which has a trending option also for when I want to see what's gaining traction outside of my follows.

I recently got a used low-mileage Nissan Leaf and it's been fantastic! I didn't realize it was my dream car til I had it

As a former Apollo user, using wefwef for lemmy has made adoption so easy. 10/10, it's basically an Apollo clone in-browser and has been working great. https://wefwef.app/
