    Is 40gal-50gal normal for a home? Previous owners were an elderly couple. I’m sure it suited them well. But with our family of 3 with laundry and occasional dishwasher running, it seems like it’s just slightly not enough. Especially if we’re all trying to get ready for an event or have family staying with us.

    Maybe I just need to get it serviced… Thanks!





  • I’m originally from the UK but moved to Canada when little.

    Fall is my favorite season. I LOVE cold, dark, rainy days. My entire body just feels relaxed.

    Summers here are getting hotter and hotter, with long stretches of 30c where you can’t do anything.

    Winters here are either painfully freezing with face-cracking winds or giant dumpings of snow that make getting around impossible

    Fall is a nice blend of cooler temps, a little rain, a little darkness, a fresh start with kids gone back to school, just generally pleasant as long as you don’t have to clean up too many fallen leaves :)




  • Is it normal? Yes. Is it healthy? No. I wish I spent my younger years focused on building myself rather than worrying about things out of my control.

    Find yourself. Find what motivates you and makes you happy. Learn to be happy on your own. Learn to be confident without the validation from others. As you go through that journey, you’ll run into similar like-minded people and maybe some that you’re actually attracted to (lol)

    It’ll happen when you least expect it when you’re focused on other priorities. Hope this helps.








  • The question was “What type of stuff are you buying off Aliexpress?”

    I started responding with “toys, cleaning supplies, phone cases, etc.” And then I noticed I was responding to a post on ** Aliexpress@programming.dev**

    So I felt like my response wouldn’t be as helpful or would be off-topic because I was responding on the programming.dev instance.

    Right? That makes sense right? LOL
