No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How far do you wear your daily shoes out before bothering to replace them?English
9·2 days agoI wear leather boots, ankle high. The shoe store fixes em when the bottom wears out. Had em 11 years and they’re still fairly pristine. Just gotta oil em every winter. Probably should do that more often.
It was $600 and $50 or so every couple years. Figure I’ve gotten it amortized down.
1400 hours in The Long Dark. I’m pulling a stone out of my inventory…

Houseplants@mander.xyz•I really begin to love the natural look of phals if you just let them be [Orchids]English
3·6 days agoWe did pick it up from a fancier florist, so it wasn’t a $10 supermarket special. That probably doesn’t change your point, though, god knows what its parentage is.
We give it the sunniest spot in the house already (south-facing window, with morning light up til about 1pm because winter), and it’s filtered through a double-pane insulated window, and it’s winter during the doldrums of the year, so it’s probably the lowest light it’ll get through the year.
The temperature thing is a good point. Maybe I just crack the window a bit so it gets some cold? It drops to about 5C right now.
I’ll get some pictures if I think about it when I’m home later. =p It has been throwing off a bunch of roots and the leaves are pretty healthy-looking.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•The singular they is actually such a natural part of the English language, the people complaining about it almost certainly use it without noticingEnglish
10·8 days ago‘You’ has a similar ambiguity, being a plural word originally, but most people muddle through that.
I do think we should bring back thee/thy/thou as singular, but whatever.
