My fish had a highlight. It looked like rays of light emanating from the fish

It's definitely not the hobby of choice for young boys any more, but it feels like it is having a golden age of kit quality aiming at an older audience with disposal income. Manufa…

I’ve found scale modeling to be a very rewarding (and screen-free) hobby since Covid times, and I’ve built more Tamiya kits than any other manufacturer. I’ve heard that Mr Tamiya w…

If I'm feeling grumpy I don't respond, but if I have some patience left in the tank I'll use, "Hi, what's up?" which usually short-circuits the salutations.

I bought version 10 recently enough that I was emailed this week with a free upgrade to version 11 which I appreciated! I mainly only use it for text expansion, but it has served m…

I'd start with gastroenterologists. I've started having some GI issues recently so I've been seeing one, but there was a 4+ week wait time to see anyone in my area.

I started an exercise habit on the Concept2 rower (which I already had but wasn’t using). The big factors for me were: - accountability/competitiveness with a friend where we texte…

I grew up in the UK so never had anything other than fire drills, but I’m in the US now it’s pretty sad when your kindergartner tells you they had to pretend there was a lion in th…

O'Reilly-published books often have an animal on the cover. I don't think they are picked for relevance to the topic (even most of the Python books don't have pythons!) https://www…

I've just got back from doing an HEB shop about 10 minutes ago, our first shop since the crisis full hit the USA. It was surprisingly pleasant! There was a short queue to get in (~…

I first heard about this on the Omnibus Project podcast (Ken Jennings & John Roderick). Here's the link if anyone would like to listen to some light-hearted discussion on the topic…

I recently heard a segment on the radio which discussed suicide, and it ended with the host giving the common "If you are in crisis, then resources are available..." statement. The…

Same here, it was the only way we could get my daughter (now 3 years old) to go to sleep. I spent many a long evening lying on the floor (so she couldn't see me over the edge), roc…
