That sucks. Is it something you can get used to do you think? Can imagine it's a bit of a change

Oh cool what kind of jacket are you making? Hope the weather is kind to you this weekend!

We use Google Meet at work. It's basic but does the job

I mostly use it to buy ebooks, handy for when there's a sale on

I really hope the stigma is fading. Looking at this thread black cats seem popular which is great to see (obviously not representative of everyone)

I love black cats and tortoiseshells. Had a lovely tortie on my street growing up who would talk to you and follow you up the street every day 💙 (let's not have the outdoor cat argument please, not my cat, this is the UK, etc).

I adore Ragdolls aesthetically but never interacted with one so not sure I would get one as a pet until I had.

I am slightly biased against ginger cats as there was another cat on my street growing up who would scratch us after seeking us out for pets. I don't dislike them but I probably wouldn't get one

I find it so interesting how PE is a class one can fail in some parts of the world. We have PE as a compulsory thing but would never get graded on it (just as well, refused to do a lot of it) unless we chose to do it for our GCSEs.

Yeah we had to do it in junior school (so between 9-11) but never did at secondary school. I was in junior school early 2000s in UK.

I could never do it and didn't really see the point. Plus it always hurt my hands.

I don't do notes outside of work (where I use Microsoft OneNote to make notes of meetings and any coding training/code) but I keep many lists.

At work I also use Rocketbook, which is a physical notebook you can reuse. You upload the notes to the cloud and then wipe off. It's great.

In terms of Lists though, they pretty much run my life. Lists of books to read, lists of things I see that my family might like for Christmas (so I'm never stuck not knowing what to get them), lists of places I want to go, films to see, pro/con lists, etc. I use Google Keep but probably going to start looking for a FOSS alternative

Is CBD available where you are? Some people find that helpful (I have some CBD gummies that help my back pain)

I've been trying to find solo board games for ages but they're hard to come across. One day I'll have the courage to go to the board game cafe but not yet

I love Lego, been getting into it more as an adult than I ever did when I was little (was too expensive). I love the botanical collection, have a nice bouquet at the moment

What kind of you do?

That's such an underrated skill! Constantly seeing people on Nextdoor asking for help fixing their old watches. If you have a repair cafe then it's worth volunteering, you'd have a lot of practice!

The fact you have depression/anxiety and have managed to turn going to the gym into a habit is impressive, tell me your secret!

I sing choral music (I'm a soprano) in a couple of choirs. Summertime can be rough as during the rest of the year I'm busy a few nights a week but they break up for the summer holidays which isn't great for my mental health.

I also do jigsaw puzzles - started during lockdown and it's good to be able to do something manual rather than screen based. Calming too.

Also just started crochet, making a baby blanket for my incoming niece. Not very good at it but hoping the baby won't care.

Otherwise I go to comedy shows regularly and try to read as much as I can.

Yeah when my depression flares up my memory is awful. I have a reasonable adjustment at work for instructions to be given in writing when I'm feeling low because it will literally be like talking to a goldfish.

Embarrassing when I have a great long term memory

Personally I haven't seen any bots on here yet. If they become problematic or if there are too many then I would be pro-restricting them.

I do like the novelty bots you can get though, they can be fun

I love this thread, so many people are recommending games to each other. Nice to see.

My answer is games like Skyrim where it's a sandbox but you can pick up different quests. I know there's a proper name for them but it escapes me.

I know there's GTA which is a similar type but I want a more twee fantasy vibe

Thanks for posting, it's really interesting to see what goes into running something like this.

Chucked a bit into the pot. It's not a lot but I want to contribute where I can.

That sounds like a nightmare to be honest. Not something I would dream of using.

Yes. I love cheese but I try to avoid buying it as it's expensive. Smoked Applewood is lush
