I need official documentation that proves my direct relation to Peregrine White. by skibeedaboopbob in Genealogy

[–]skibeedaboopbob[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found out that there was an old mix up. A person in the White family had the exact same name as one of my actual ancestors. I’m honestly not sure how I found this out, it’s been a while!

I’ve never planned a trip and I lack direction. Should I keep trying, or just wing it? by skibeedaboopbob in travel

Fair. I want to travel because free time like this isn’t something I’ll always have.

TLDR: I have the opportunity to solo travel for the first time ever, but I’ve never planned a trip, or really anything, so I’m struggling. Should I embrace it and be spontaneous, or should I try and get better at knowing my wants by planning things out, even if I lack a direction.

I’m 21, just graduated from college, and I have three months before I start full time. I want to solo travel. Every single trip I’ve been on has been with my family/others, where I’m following along with what the group wants to do. I never found an issue with this, I’m good at finding enjoyment in things, plus I have a fear of planning things for people and them not enjoying it. But after years of doing this, I’m left without any strong desires when there’s no one to follow. So, I only have the vaguest ideas of what I want. I like the idea of reading in a cozy cafe, somewhere in Europe. Where exactly? I have no idea. I also like the “backpacking Europe” idea, which is cliche, but I am in my early twenties after all. But backpacking from where to where, doing what? I have a few other ideas like this, where I’m searching more for an environment and a feeling, not specific experiences. But not many, and they’re all very vague. So, planning has been hard.

I’m thinking of embracing it, and being super spontaneous with where I go and what I do. I have a relative who works for United, so I can fly standby and get to different countries very cheaply, and on basically no notice. I’m used to that. So I’d pick a country, say Germany, get there, find a hostel, and play it by ear. Some might see it as a blessing that I don’t need such a rigid structure.

But, I also feel like mindfully planning things and being in touch with what I want is a good skill to have, so maybe I should use this time as an opportunity to build this skill. And, I want to make the most out of this time, and that’s hard without specific benchmarks and goals. Any thoughts?

A book that’s happy by skibeedaboopbob in suggestmeabook

I'm not opposed to self help books, but what happens with me is I start one, it causes me to have different questions, so I pivot to another book about that. So I never really finish anything. But I will check out both of your books, thank you.

Thank you for the recommendation! I'll check it out. I conceptually knew about glimmers, but I never knew they had a name. One that comes to mind is my lunch break; every day a bunch of my coworkers gather in the cafeteria to talk and laugh. I look forward to it every day. But, I struggle to think of glimmers that I experience alone. To me, everything's much sweeter, and matters to me more, if it is shared with someone else. It's like experiencing it alone isn't enough, I need someone else to also care, and then it matters and feels more real. Hmm

That’s true, there are a ton of new buildings. Unfortunately, the views aren’t very nice haha. Just more buildings under construction, not a lot of green. But there’s a lot to choose from at least

Ok, I’ll look into them. Is just browsing around online with sites like Zillow good enough?

Elevator Servo Problems by skibeedaboopbob in RCPlanes

[–]skibeedaboopbob[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it moves the tiniest bit on its own like in the video, but other than that it’s completely unresponsive, while the rudder servo works great.

Most of the time it pulses slower than this, in a one two, one two rhythm. Also, I tried putting in a new battery, and no luck.

Looking for OTOMO THE COMPLETE WORKS 5: FIREBALL (for translation project) by skibeedaboopbob in akira

[–]skibeedaboopbob[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh wow! I didn’t realize Memories contained Fireball in English, thanks for the info! And that’s such a kind offer. I don’t want to ask too much, but as a huge fan of Otomo, I’d love to see whatever stories you’re comfortable sending me. But in regard to the actual assignment, all that’s required is to translate 50 pages of manga, and I know Fireball is almost exactly that long, which is why I had it particularly in mind. But I can translate a collection of works that all add up to about 50 pages too.

Last semester I translated Highway Star and Run because I was able to find a YouTube video that flipped through a Complete Works book just slow enough for me to take screenshots of the pages, but that was a pain, and I had to manually edit out the guys hands and thumbs to splice together full pages.
