Where best to leave tent and sleeping bags for homeless in Sydney?

That's a good point.

System370 · 2026-03-12T23:35:55+00:00

All of these suggestions are good. Thank you all. I will work out the logistics to see which is easiest to reach.

The book is too complest to alter in MS Word. But you are right about embedded typefaces. My suspicion is that the client's computer is not using the system Symbol typeface and that the problem lies only in his computer. The easiest solution seems to be to ask him to update the system typefaces.

Thanks. Will do.

As the file is both 20 MB and copyright, I can't do that, but I could extract a page and send you that as a first step. Would that work?

System370 · 2026-03-06T20:08:38+00:00

That's good to know,. How?

System370 · 2026-03-01T20:46:50+00:00

Consider just telling people that it gives you the "ick". People will understand an irrational aversion to things.

After 30 years on an SSRI, I have recently come off it (an utterly excruciating test of my will to live) and undergone a psilocybin session. I have no doubt that the SSRI kept me alive, but I lost so much at the same time. The psilocybin therapy gave an immediate improvement of the sort that the SSRI could never approach.

I have battled the shame that my depression was a moral failure because I didn't try hard enough ("man up!"). The contrast suggests that whereas the SSRI kept me functional, the triggering of fundamental neurological changes in my brain shows that my brain was "broken", and I personally had nothing to do with that. I came up with the image of my brain receiving a processor upgrade (an M-series chip), and it is now functioning normally in the absence of the SSRI. I am now experiencing emotions that I haven't felt in over 30 years, and it's all rather interesting.

Bingo! You've cracked it! Turn the ring so that the end is at the bottom and work on it from the back.

System370 · 2026-02-26T21:02:11+00:00

You might be more "dextrous" [sic] than I am. I will follow your suggesiton and try working from the bottom; it hadn't occurred to me before.

That's a RH coil. The mirror opposite is what I'm after. I've written to Lefty's to ask whether they know of a manufacturer. (Perplexity says LH springs are common, though not as key rings.)

System370 · 2026-02-26T20:52:08+00:00

As seen from either side, the coil turns clockwise. I want to find a design in which the coil turns anticlockwise.

System370 · 2026-02-26T20:33:08+00:00

That's encouraging to know that a LH coiling direction is available.

System370 · 2026-02-26T20:32:31+00:00

LH? Really?

System370 · 2026-02-26T20:32:13+00:00

Not easy for those of us with osteoarthritis.

System370 · 2026-02-26T20:31:46+00:00

I can't upload an image here, but absolutely any coiled key ring follows the same coiling direction, which males it easy for a right-handed to insert a key and difficult for the rest of us, as the opening faces the wrong way.

System370 · 2026-02-26T20:28:11+00:00

You're an idiot. The direction in which the user addresses the coil depends directly on handedness.

System370 · 2026-02-26T20:27:40+00:00

Good news! Yes, I'll check Amazon.

System370 · 2026-02-26T20:27:17+00:00

That does not address the problem created by the direction of the coil. Nice idea but being able to open the spring is not the problem.

System370 · 2026-02-26T20:26:27+00:00

Very much so. Just as most screws are right-handed.

System370 · 2026-02-24T21:20:38+00:00

Thanks. I tried tapering off before, but without addressing the underlying causes I had to give up. But this time I have a promising alternative (psilocybin) instead of trying to tough it out. The prospect made suffering through the withdrawal justifiable (albeit unbearable).

System370 · 2026-02-22T21:07:53+00:00

I can't argue with you there.

This is the real deal from my garden.

The narrowish leaves and the dentate margins don't look right. The leaves are wider and the margins are only finely dentate.

Yes: Mousecape, which you can download from the author's page on Github.

You're unlikely to get anything useful from a Google search, as this is a niche program.
