  • This was me for years. I probably have undiagnosed autism. But I've learnt the rules for most interactions now and know how to appear normal, how much eye contact is ok, what to make my face do, etc.

    I do slip up sometimes, and I do wish I could be me around people more.

  • I love my induction hob for all the reasons you mention. It is by far the best hob I've used - much better than gas - and I cook a lot. The only slight downside is ensuring you have the right pans, but they're widely available. My enamelled cast iron casserole pot works a treat.

  • I work with someone like this but it's over Teams.

    Last time she called, I had an idea. I said "I know you've got lots on, and I can go on a bit, so I'll be quick." It didn't work.

    She's lovely and I don't want to hurt her feelings, but I'm swamped so having a long conversation about stuff that's not work isn't an option.

  • Another recommendation is Joe Abercrombie. His First Law series scratched the ASOIAF itch for me as is is similarly gritty. The full series is 2 trilogies with 3 "stand alone" novels inbetween them, and a book of short stories.

    Also Preston Jacobs on YouTube is working on a collaborative alternative Winds of Winter. I really enjoyed their Alayne chapter.

  • Can we get this man some help. Not saying he's not an absolute wanker - that's a given - but isn't anyone close to him concerned about his mental health?

    He's fallen out with the leader of the far-right Reform UK now, because, apparently that frog-faced fuck Farage does have a line in the sand (at least for appearances' sake), and isn't comfortable with Musk's support for fascist thug "Tommy Robinson".

    Hopefully this means no donation (bribe) to Reform UK, but I'm sure that piece of shit will continue to try and fuck with our democracy.
