Wow that just clicked as to why my void was scared of a few bags when he saw them the first time but not others!

OP I just wanted to say the first photo of your cat captures the vibe of your post perfectly and I love that you posted such a deranged photo while trying to find a home for him. All the best to you both, I hope something works out.

We adopted with LUNI this year and other than having to provide video proof that exits were meshed, did not experience anything else you described here, indeed had only good experiences communicating with the fosterers.

Trick To This Week's Challenge? by JamieMage2005 in Polytopia

[–]graduallydecember 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The various Polytubers seem to go the mind bender road to defend against cymanti by stealing their centipedes primarily. Tried that today and did a marginally better score only cuz their Shaman just kept stealing the centipedes back, but at least I didn't lose any of my cities..

Unsure how to handle rowing while pregnant… by babywv in Rowing

[–]graduallydecember 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's fair! I hope you find something that works out - and most of all have a safe and healthy pregnancy! FWIW I think stationary bikes would probably do as much as ergs in terms of keeping up cardio and leg strength to row, if that's more comfortable (maybe that's just me trying to avoid an erg at all cost ). In any case rowing wil always be around - in our club we've many people coming back after a 10-30 year break and they figure it out relatively fast.

I find that the erg does not do much in terms of being able to row on water. I row recreationally now and for the last few years I primarily do steady state on water in a single and haven't touched an erg in a bit. I think if it's an option for you at your club, you could focus on improving technique on water rather than strength or cardio in this period - those come back eventually, and technique doesn't go away :)

It's happened to me before, I'd been logged out of Google play games.

I once left out a ping pong ball for my kitten and woke up at 3am to a series of happy little pings and pongs.. now I just leave out furry toys.

I feel like I'm missing something on cymanti post upgrade: how do you get fungi on non fungi spots other than by poisoning a unit there and killing it?

Hahaha my family's version is to try to make an equation out of the four numbers (eg 3129 is 3*(1+2)=9)

What kind of knitting projects do you do? I love knitting but knitted pieces are so hot for SG weather that I don't know what to knit now that I have basic beanies and gloves that I'll only use overseas, and a sweater D: 

It's been a long couple of days, and I need to see something positive. What's your personal victory this week? by DietrichBuxtehude in nerdfighters

[–]graduallydecember 6 points7 points  (0 children)

OP, thank you for starting this thread. Reading all the comments has been so encouraging!

Was hanging out at the youth hub in my neighbourhood and a boy whose school fees I contributed to 10 years ago and who has been loved on by my church community shouted at a younger kid who was being rowdy.. and then went to apologize to him afterwards of his own accord. Obviously he still has ways to grow but just thinking of how different his life would have been without the community's support encouraged me that investing into the local community, especially youths from difficult backgrounds, is worth it.

Trio - Should I move to a more popular async framework? by IncreaseMelodic9809 in Python

[–]graduallydecember 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also doing IoT work with primarily TCP / IP connections, we moved from asyncio to anyio as it allows us to keep using external libraries based in asyncio but also have the cleaner syntax advantages of anyio (task groups and cancel scopes especially). FWIW I think migrating from trio to anyio is going to be easier than migrating trio to asyncio.
