Ugh, I indirectly feel your pain. I don't have the issue with cold, but just didn't enjoy the touch controls on any earbuds I've tried, so I'm stuck using my older, slowly falling apart earbuds with inline controls. The earbuds have a wire connecting the two buds, and there's a little lump of plastic along the wire with 3 buttons, but there's no wire connecting them to the device. Short press turns volume up, down, pause/play. It also has functions mapped to long press and double press for things like next/previous, assistant, and I forget what else.

It's super hard to find any headphones lately that are Bluetooth, but still have a wire connecting the two ear pieces, and therefore a spot for the inline controls. I have no clue about the quality of these, just linking as an example of the style that has worked well for me: https://www.amazon.com/Scosche-Rechargeable-Bluetooth-Microphone-Isolating/dp/B01KU7EYZO

I really like Thunder, but for some reason it doesn't display vote counts when I'm using this account. If I switch to my .world account, the vote counts show up, and I can't figure out why it's different. I'm using Voyager at the moment, but not satisfied. My preferred Reddit app was Slide, and I thought someone was making a Lemmy version, but I'm not sure what happened.

Goddamnit! I love this and want to share it, but don't know anyone else that will appreciate it. Is this.. irony?

Yeah, but we spend just over 4 months on "standard" time, and almost 8 months on "summer" time. Why do we only use "standard" time for roughly 1/3 of the year?

I think you have that backwards. The US changed their clocks to DST several weeks ago (March 9).

Yeah, that's kind of a weird way to look at it because the inverse is also true: having a driver's license also doesn't actually mean someone drives. I don't own a car, but have a license. I walk or take the bus for most of my transportation needs, but renew my driver's license so that I have the option to rent a car for the rare situations where it makes sense.

Pretty Little Liars. It was always a "guilty pleasure" show, but by the end, my friends and I were just "hate watching" it, begging for it to end.

Archer. Has that finally ended?

Would this have the unfortunate side effect of also eliminating the color pink? What about purple and orange?

I don't actually use a traditional alarm much anymore, only for the rare "special occasion". My secret: Smart lights. They dim on very gradually in the morning, so the light wakes me up. The other half of the equation is that they also gradually dim off in the evening, and that does an amazing job of getting me to bed at a reasonable hour without feeling forced.
