But pretty much only on !hiphopheads@sopuli.xyz

Not somewhere I had considered looking but we have one nearby, I’ll check it out

I was actually looking in to that last night. I’ll probably try it once but I do wonder if the time it would take would be worth the money saved.

This is a neat idea, I’ll give it a shot next time we have some!

We are very much not local, but I see they have some stuff 20% out so we might check it out! Thank you!

I’ve experienced that at a friend’s house and I don’t prefer it over just using our existing wax burner, if we are going to do something flameless. They were very pleasant smelling though!

This is the route that we go too actually, I just hate having to wait for sales haha

Honestly, we normally burn them for ~6-7 hours at a time when we light them. We both work from home and I’ll usually light it up the first time I get up from the computer. It doesn’t happen with nicer candles, but some of the cheaper 1 wick ones we get from Walmart or Aldi will tunnel like that even with the long burns.

Honestly no, I’ve never been to anything close to this size. Usually my wife and I go to smaller shows in ~1000-2000 person venues.

It is for sure a different energy though. Small venues are nice because even from the back you are pretty close to the stage but the feeling of >15,000 people singing along with somebody live is sort of indescribable, you know?

Do you like to go to a lot of big shows like that?

I’d have killed to do something like that for senior week haha.

Weird question maybe, but did they have the Hurricane when you were there? And did it go way too fucking fast? I rode it with a friend and I thought I was going to die. Best ride there haha

EDIT: The pic isn’t of the actual ride, just the same type of ride at a different park. I couldn’t find a pic of the actual ride

Don’t have a good one on Lemmy for my area yet sadly, but you are probably right. It was pretty big though, they sold 50k tickets per day for all 3 days. I talked to people from as far away as Wisconsin and Texas, with most of the people there being from all up and down the east coast.

I was with my wife and some friends, so 7 of us total. Truth be told it was mostly my wife and I by ourselves though and then we just met with everybody at the AirBnB at the end of the night and talked with the other people. My wife is pretty hardcore so we were leaving before everybody else every day and getting back last every night haha.

And it was in Ocean City, so literally right on the coast. We were coming out of VA so we drove up the peninsula. It was a pretty fantastic location honestly. The little amusement park in the center was free for anybody attending the concert, except for a select few rides (giant slingshot most notably) so we were able to ride the Ferris Wheel and stuff if there was a gap in the shows we wanted to see.

It was a 3 day music festival in Maryland! It was right on the beach, two of the three stages you were standing in the sand. Artists there people are most likely to recognize are Jack Johnson, Alanis Morissette, Jimmy Eat World, Weezer and The Lumineers. Lots of other stuff too though. My favorite was Fitz and the Tantrums, though Jack Johnson’s set was crazy good. Man puts on a really good live show.

I am assuming he won’t be able to go to bed at a decent time. I wake up at 6:30am most days and I know I couldn’t go to bed at 6:30pm. If he woke up at 3pm, it would be a tall order to fall asleep before ~4am I’d figure. Which gives him ~3 hours of sleep.

I can’t speak for OP, but some people sleep through alarms if they haven’t slept enough. My oldest will legit just sleep through his phone alarm if it has been less than 5 hours since he went to bed. I’ve just heard his alarm go off in his room for 20 minutes straight before I walk in there and shake him awake. Shit is a problem.

It was Epic exclusive on PC I believe

As somebody who used to weigh over 350 pounds, you need to be the thing that stops you. I promise, losing the weight is harder than just not buying that cake in the first place.

I have 3 step children (I am step dad) they were 13, 10 and 8 when I met them, currently 18, 15 and 12 (birthday soon). When I met them, the primary family activity they did with their bio dad was watching movies and playing video games. They also all slept with a TV on in their room. My girlfriend at the time, now wife, had nothing but an old xbox 360 for video games and they had an old CRT box TV in the bedroom the 3 kids shared. As a result, they did not watch a lot of TV at her house or play a lot of games.

Currently, we do not limit the screens of the 18 year old at all. He has a job and is moving out in <2 months, he can do what he wants with his free time as long as it is not disruptive to anybody else.

Our youngest REALLY likes video games. As a result, we let him play pretty much as much as he wants if he is not at school. That said, he is on 2 soccer teams (middle school and travel) and he works out extra at home. As a result, he usually has about 30 minutes of screen time a day during the school week. Plus he has his phone to play games on the school bus. He does not have Youtube or any streaming apps on his phone though. He is allowed to sleep with the TV on Friday nights only, to celebrate the school week being over. Weekends are screen heavy as well, except for tournament weekends or regular game days. Honestly he is a good and active child so we let him use more screens than would maybe be healthy. Summer is a bit different t, where we force him to go outside and play at least a few hours a day, but otherwise let him do what he wants, so lots of screens there.

Our middle child is not big in to screens, they like to draw and listen to music and use makeup kinda like face paint. They also play volleyball and are not home till 830 most school nights anyways. As a result, they probably only use ~3 or 4 hours of screens a week, not counting changing songs on Spotify.

If they were my bio kids and I’d been there their whole lives, I think they would all use screens less, except maybe the middle. As is, I am mostly glad it is no longer the primary form of entertainment for my middle child and that my youngest is so active.

My job got everybody branded hydroflasks ~3 years ago. I don’t work there any more, but I pretty much never leave the house without that bottle.

My house bottle is a 1.5L Bubba bottle from Walmart. Had that about a year and a half so far and it is holding up well.
