You can do something like this cable washcloth! There are a bunch of similar patterns of various cable sizes.

Mickey@lemmy.cato Books@lemmy.ml•On Feb. 26, 2025 Amazon will remove your ability to download your ebooks to your computer or any other device except Kindle. (crosspost from !bookclub)12·5 months agoAs an alternative Kobo offers price matching and carries almost all of the same books minus some indie exclusives (which is a huge shame, there are some good indie book series I guess I won’t be finishing)
Mickey@lemmy.cato Games@sh.itjust.works•With cheat/game codes mostly gone, what do people use instead for their single-player games (that don't involve microtransactions)?English29·5 months agoMods can be an option but some are harder than others to use. I do find that a lot of mainstream games have a pretty good range of difficulties these days (including story mode etc), but definitely not all games.
This sounded great until the part where you can only read the ebooks using their app and you can’t transfer to kobo/kindle. That is a dealbreaker for me unfortunately.
Mickey@lemmy.cato Gaming@lemmy.ml•Who's your favorite person that plays thru games on YouTube?2·8 months agoI love Mapo! He’s always super thorough with his playthroughs and finds so many hidden things it’s impressive.
I also recommend ChristopherOdd as well for more strategy based games.
I have written the first draft of 2.5 books!
The first one was the 1/2 which just got a little messy and I didn’t enjoy it. It was my first major writing project and I just didn’t organize it well enough. I also grew out of the idea quickly and decided to stop and not waste more time.
My second book I managed to finish at 70k I believe (it’s been a while). Similarly I grew out of the idea by the end and it would have needed major revisions to push through editing.
My third and most recent one I really love, the first draft is complete and I am slowly editing it. Though editing seems to be my weakness it seems because it’s taking far longer than it should. This one I would love to actually clean up and eventually publish but yeah, going to take a while to get there!
I use Scrivener to write in and I highly recommend it! (you can usually find some discount codes for it as well). I like to use it to quickly draft the storyline and then expand each scene as I go. It also has some handy features for organizing research notes and pictures. It’s packed with so many features so it’s a pretty popular writing app among writers in general.
Mickey@lemmy.cato Gardening@lemmy.world•Over under on having more green beans than I know what to do with?English2·11 months agoYou can always freeze/can them for later use!
Fancy! This looks like it came from one of those collector edition sites for books! Definitely a pretty piece to put on the shelf.
What a beautiful majestic boy he became! Love the little baby meow.
Mickey@lemmy.cato Books@lemmy.ml•Is there a book/saga that you finished and cannot forget to the point where it gets harder to read other books?4·1 year agoYeah, after finishing the Wheel of Time series it felt like I really lost something important and it was so hard to get into other fantasy worlds for a while due to how immersed I was in it for so long.
I remember once reading that someone did this for real. And another person would tear their paperback book in half if it was too thick to hold. I was very sad for a while after that.
That’s the most aggressive wink I’ve ever seen!
100+ is very impressive! It sounds like you essentially finish a book every 3-4 days to get those numbers. How you keep that up consistently? I feel like I can do that for a month or two and then tend to need a break before picking up more.
If you have a spray bottle you can mix water and a bit of soap and spray down the flowers to knock them off. It also makes a slippery surface so they should have a hard time getting back on. Though tomatoes don’t usually like water on the stalks or leaves too much so be careful and try to target the affected areas only.
