Question, have either of you lived in a rural area before? I am originally from LA and it’s hard to describe how jarring it is to move to a rural area. There is no “quick trip to the store” when the closest one is an hour away. Also I never got used to how limited the selection was once I got out of a big area. You’re right to be concerned about emergencies, the closest dr will probably be a considerable drive away. The internet makes the world feel smaller, but rural areas don’t tend to have faster internet so you might not be able to do things like remote dr visits to compensate for the distance. My in-laws complain constantly about their septic tank, and they cannot use their well water for drinking. It’s a huge lifestyle change and you’re right for being hesitant.

District attorney says he is unable to make a decision and the investigation continues.102·16 days agoAgreed, while I fucking hate the fact that certain individuals have decided that the right to bare arms is more important than the right to life, it is still their right. I disapprove of limiting rights based on which individual uses them. The Utah Legislature needs to figure out if the right to carry firearms is for everyone or go the route California did and ban it because individuals they didn’t like started arming themselves.

District attorney says he is unable to make a decision and the investigation continues.311·16 days agoI get what you’re trying to say, but Utah is a “constitutional carry” state. Meaning that he was legally allowed to open carry whatever firearm he wished as long as he didn’t point it at anyone. In this case I think the law is more reckless than the individual.

Red beans and rice is also top tier when it comes to flavor. I love a good vinegar based hot sauce to give it some tang.

earlgrey0@sh.itjust.worksto WomensStuff@lazysoci.al•Its Pride month! What are some subtle signs someone is anti lgbt?English241·1 month agoThe “I just don’t understand…” crowd. I have yet to meet anyone who legitimately did not understand why a person would want to be called their preferred name, or why someone would want to marry who they love. It seems to just be a way to feel out if the person they’re talking to is amenable to list to their “discomfort” with whichever group they are referring to.

earlgrey0@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Does anyone else just not give a shit about their health anymore?41·3 months agoI can’t disagree that things are shit, but that’s not a reason to treat yourself like shit. Even if you don’t have a long life, going to the grave with tense af shoulders isn’t comfortable either. If you’re able, stretching and walking in the sunshine will at least add some comfort. Nothing is good but that’s no excuse to be an accelerationist to destroy your body.
She also threw in some non-binary romance, as a little treat.
Not in the purity needed to make semiconductors.
earlgrey0@sh.itjust.worksto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is there some special process by which musicians/producers arrive at an agreed-upon tempo for a song recording?2·4 months agoI honestly can’t say with 100% certainty but I can speak to my experience with playing in an ensemble. For small sets, think a duet like violin and piano, usually there is an agreed upon “lead” and the other player(s) match them. In larger ensembles, band or orchestra, the conductor is god so we should be following them for tempo and queues. That being said, we listen to each other for certain queues and phrases to know when to join in. Generally we match whatever percussion or bass is doing, because that’s usually where time is kept.

The myth that women didn’t work outside the home is a fiction. Only the upper classes could afford such a luxury. Poor woman always had to work, often for much less pay.

*Edit- I am hoping that this will change the perception that prison labor is somehow less valuable than civilian labor.

Libby- ebooks, audiobooks, magazines

Kanopy- films and documentaries
