The rule is the only thing left.
(lemmy.nz)
Anything but normal measurement units.
Maybe a close equivalent for this would be the Beaufort scale.
The lid def can't be moved by a Bft 1 or 2 wind, would probably guess at the very least a 4 or 5.
Lid flipped open - 4 to 5
Tipped over - 6 to 7
In the neighbour's garden - 8 to 9
Down the street - 10 to 11
I've lost my rubbish bin - 12 and beyond
Maybe lid flipped open at the moment or tipped over if this is the scale I get evaluated on everytime I go to the doctor. I ise to be down the street, took m3dicine for years saw no improvement. Changed medication saw minor improvement for a short while. Decided to just stop and force myself to do the things I need to get done and it finally improved.
This is not an advocation. To stop medicating. It's extremely important to follow doctors direction even though I didn't. Sleep was rough when I stopped for a few months but eventually wverything evened out. But I weaned myself, I didnt stop outright.
Another thing is your body is always changing so what might work two years ago, might not work the same today. I only did it the way I did it because I couldn't afford my copays.
What helped me is having a good partner, I know not everyone has that.
Is it a monthy python sketch?
Americans and avoiding actual measurement units, name a more iconic combination.
The wind is at mega speed but expect ultra mega speed in the afternoon.
If were ever in “ive lost my trashcan” territory, Id really prefer they not make it a cutesy segment on the news while my house is ripped down to the studs

Where is my trashcan? Waaaayyy out, in the water, see it swimming...
Haha, what a great song.
Where is my bin?
me and who? 👉👈🥺
We'll run away lid to lid
The wheels have fallen off some time ago but the bottom has not yet worn through from dragging it up to the curb each week.
As a trash can I feel lost and lidless.
I'm in a pendulum motion between "Lid flipped open" and "Down the street" depending on how well i have spaced out my committments over the week.
Are there really any of us left that haven't lost their trash can?
i lose a lid every now and then, always found nearby in the street or sidewalk. the recycle bins were stolen years ago. the actual bins sit in a gap between two buildings and next to the sidewalk (right where they need to be for collection). if they don't sprout legs and walk off like the recycle bins did, it would take a flood or twister for them to disappear.
My lid is definitely flipped open.

Community Rules
You must post before you leave
Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).

Avoid shilling for corporations, posting advertisements, or promoting exploitation of workers.

Moderator Guidelines
Moderator Guidelines
- Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
- Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
- When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
- Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
- Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
- Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
- Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
- Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
- Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
- Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
- Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
- Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
- First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
- Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
- No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
- Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
- Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.
