I see the diagram: the first knife is for cutting bread. The second is for cutting fillets. The third is for cutting... chefs?

I could do okay with the low capacity batteries, but I need my circuitry replacing.

I've started to get some mileage from making boundaries. For context, I have chronic fatigue so I do almost no work at all, always feel I should be doing more whenever I can, and hyper-focus to occasionally do things in 'big' (actually still small) chunks.

It's helped me to make Saturdays strictly a rest day (I try to keep it strict!) and not do work even if I could do a bit. And I've started sometimes making evenings after 6 or 7pm no-work, even if my focus has just kicked in and I could do some stuff.

Making boundaries to preserve rest as a valuable thing, rather than always "you can rest if you absolutely have to but you really should be working," has been helpful for me. And I find sometimes it helps regulate the hyper-focus -> burnout cycle.

Besides, they probably put commas in the wrong places over there too.

Mine too. I had to stop believing in the OED as the foremost authority on correct English!

Of course it's worth adding that the Oxford English Dictionary argues (argued?) that the z is proper in British English! I disagree ;-)

Knowledge and feelings of others. Sometimes coming out with everything all at once is a bit overwhelming for others, as their everything would be for us; and sometimes saying everything in our natural way triggers hurt feelings in others (often due to subtle misunderstandings and expectations), as their way might to us.

I agree with the general principle of being open and honest, and then not having to hide yourself.


Also: my keyboard keeps correcting words to 'kissing' today. Is Google trying to tell me something?

We did. Famously we lost and you got to go your own way and stop paying us taxes.

'kulla', or 'kullar' for the Americans

 

After first joining the Earth nation, then in the second episode allying with the Water nation, in this third episode of Avatar, Sully (no relation to the Monsters Inc hero) is under attack from the Fire nation.

The Sully family "are really put through the ringer" in the new film, Cameron said ... "They face not only the human invaders, but new adversaries - the Ash people,"

Spring

Summer

Autumn

Winter

A long time ago, (on a server far, far away), I uploaded the Spring screenshot of my completed farm. It took me a long time to get round to the Summer, Autumn and Winter screenshots, even delaying updating to 1.6 to not change anything!

I'm very pleased with Ambridges farm. It's my first and only completed playthrough, and the final farm layout started life as a show of fish ponds, and developed to include just about everything that can be on the farm.

I'll put a few more notes in the comments.

Well, with the new .ee community, now seems a good time to get up an post my farm, all four seasons! I hope you like it :-)

(Edit: I just saw that files on Catbox can't be reached from a bunch of countries. Not sure if the Lemm.ee proxying gets around that? If someone could let me know, then I can try and find somewhere else to upload the images. Any suggestions for a good image host?)

 

I've been playing around with self hosting for file sharing, backups, and a handful of other ideas I might one day get round to. I like the idea of a mesh VPN and being able to, for example, connect a travelling laptop to a 'host' laptop nearby, though my only public ip is a VPS in another country.

Of all the options I found, I liked the look of Nebula most. Fiddly in some places, but it's working nicely for me, and I appreciate some of the simplicity of design.

I'm wondering if people here have much experience of it, though? My biggest concern is over its future. With,

  1. The Defined Networking site focusing on making money off it, and
  2. The Android app doesn't allow full configuration (including the firewall, so I can't host a website from a phone) but - I heard - does if you use Defined Networking's paid service for configuration,

makes me worry they might be essentially trying to deprecate viable FOSS Nebula in favour of a paid or controlled service.

Any thoughts? Insight?

 

So, I updated Tumbleweed, and the updates to KDE caused my Plasma/Wayland session to restart, breaking the updates part way through. I wasn't watching at the time so took some while to debug!

Spent some time learning how to use nm-cli, because new half-upgraded KDE wouldn't load the network widget. It looks like something else may have changed and mucked up in the half-update (and of course I rebooted like a wise-man/dummy/i-dont-know-but-at-least-it-didnt-make-it-work) but iterations of trying things in nmcli eventually worked!

Finally tried zypper dup again and saw the session restart, so finished the job from the virtual terminal! At last, I seem to have a working computer again, and I might just brave updating my main laptop. (I cancelled the update while it was still downloading packages, after seeing the breakage on the other laptop!)

 

I finally watched Frozen 2 on the plane a few days ago. Did somebody pay Disney to shill for homeopathy?

 

Hi I've been gradually finishing my first and only-main farm, and wanted to share :-) It started as the central plaza and fish ponds (since I came to love fishing!) and grew from there. I was going to get all-seasons screenshots and post together, but that's going soo slowly; and, hey, content!

Hope you like it! I think there's a little bit of just about everything there, and if you look closely you can see me sitting on a bench enjoying the flower garden. It's been single player until right at the end I added the 'guest lodges' to share with family and friends. I love how well they fit in places I hadn't planned!
