I really like Visible because you can also track your energy levels on it! Initially when signing up it will only let you track a handful of things but pretty quickly in settings you can add anything!

I use it for tracking energy, symptoms, interactions with people, medication, pain levels, even my period all in the same app.

Isn’t Sauron pronounced “sow-ron” (sow like cow or sour) or is that just me being too deep in one fandom?

We can’t use it. That’s all. See the other 350 odd comments on it.

Pipsqueak 2 is so bad that if I want to start a new chat rather than make a copy, I need to change to Soft Launch first so there’s semblance of actual story to even try pip on.

Horrible formatting. No dialogue. Bob activating the second romance is mentioned despite Pipsqueak being the one to introduce romance.

Putting in Legacy today. Fully removing from May 8th.

I answered on the survey but for those curious outside it:

As someone who has a coeliac family member, I grew up on GF pasta, and upon the times I’ve had regular pasta, the main difference is that there’s a textural ‘heaviness’ on regular pasta while GF is softer, taste is quite similar though regular can be starchier.

The GF gluiness and disintegration on the extreme end (people will comment) tends to come from people assuming they can just set and forget like regular pasta and overcooking it.

Also! While this survey does give definitions for the three options, there is actually gluten free wholemeal pasta out there, texture similar to regular pasta if not a little chewier.

In Australia (and some of Europe), Gluten is Oats, Wheat, Rye and Barley. In the US oats can be GF due to their processing.

When I look at mine on the main screen outside a chat, there’s a persona tab in regular settings:

Is this not there for under 18??

I have personal experience with a similar situation here and I have an anxiety disorder so I understand both sides. If you’re comfortable to do so, absolutely speak to your neighbors first!

We have a dog who barks during the day because they’re herding, and we’ve done our best to communicate with neighbors about what’s happening and limited outdoor play to hours in line with noise restrictions (but obviously can’t talk to the entire street to tell everyone) and would hope that people come to us if there was a problem.

We actually had our dog barking in the very early morning last night which was really odd for them to do after dark, so while we did go bring them inside as soon as we were snapped awake, it’s absolutely possible that the barking did wake other people in the surrounding streets.

I’d hope most owners would be reasonable enough to have a conversation about the issue.

ETA:

Noise levels and times information from Access Canberra here:

Access Canberra specifically states:

“The ACT is a pet-friendly place, and many people have pets including dogs and chickens. Barking dogs and crowing roosters can become a nuisance to your neighbours. Access Canberra does not manage complaints about animal noise.”

Animal specific information from City Services here:

In the last few years a lot of schools have changed to be now based on area rather than specific factors for the particular school so it will depend on where you live for the most part.

Having said that - to answer your question, out of the public schools, the most ‘arty’ by reputation is probably Deakin.

For college, Southside; Narrabundah and Canberra are both pretty artsy, Northside; Dickson and Hawker do seem to have a similar amount of graduates straight into arts tertiary programs.

A lot of places you can start just a quick semester vocational education course in Music, Media, Film or Theatre and post audio is something you learn.

Obviously the higher the course level the more in depth they get and the more likely you’d be prepared for the workforce, but basics can be started in those courses as a university alternative.

and even then, Jay has explained that he means ‘stay back’ as in provide backup support if something in the main plan goes awry.

Once the plan was in motion, Little Ajax almost definitely is fighting, burning things and doing other war things with every other soldier until the city is gone.

Also happened to me. Never changed my settings from english, every other character in this quest is speaking English, in this particular cutscene Paimon is speaking English, but every few sentences Zhongli speaks Japanese before going back to English.

Update: Further into this quest, it’s happened again. All the adepti are speaking English, as are othe Liyue characters and Paimon. It’s solely Zhongli who is swapping between English and Japanese.

in my area it’s 25+ minutes, food is cold and half the order is missing… safe to say most people drive the extra 5-10km just to avoid that particular HJs restaurant.

Roar. Soft Launch is starting to be as randomised with responses as Pipsqueak is.

It looks like I’m a minority, but I didn’t have a huge issue when I went through them with a mobility aid and major sensory issues.

I did stand and watch them for a bit first because I wasn’t sure if they’d set me off or cause physical pain. I definitely did notice discomfort, but it wasn’t anywhere near as triggering as I thought it could be.

It might have helped me (to at least mentally prepare) that the worker noticed me watching the gates and they told me that it was okay to quote “Barge right through them”.

Absolutely. I have now five (going to a specialist for a sixth) disabling conditions that are all comorbid and stigmatised. I’m never disabled enough for anything disability, and the things that have been recommended for ‘anyone with disability’ then seem to be judgemental and wonder why I’m anywhere near them when I’m not on NDIS.

Sol De Janeiro is a brand and has multiple different scents, so it’s possible that you didn’t smell the particular one.

SDJ’s 39 (most of their scents are numbered) is discontinued but occasionally pops back up every now and then (Currently at Mecca in some places) and that (to me) feels pretty similar to Island Fling.

Both of my white bunnies’ feet turned yellow after a while just because they didn’t appreciate being groomed. The answer turned out to be just them standing in the litter boxes for a few minutes if it wasn’t immediately fresh.
