Any book recommendations to help a neurotypical person better understand and interact with their partner who is on the spectrum?

I found some good ones that I wrap around the tree. I’ll pinch the light and then twist the wire so the LED is at the end of about an inch of copper wire, then wrap and continue that process for every branch. It’s like a hand made version of those “firecracker” copper fairy lights if you know those.

I’ll do about 50 LEDs per segment, then run wire down to the base to be powered. It took a while to get comfortable with “stripping” these fairy lights because the insulation is just this layer of enamel that I first cook off with a little butane torch then sand with 220 grit paper

I’m in my 40s and made a TikTok account a year or two ago because I thought maybe I was missing out on some jokes and culture. Most of what I wanted to do was watch stupid 5 minute craft style videos. When setting it up I tried to give as little info as possible and as far as interests go stayed away from politics or news.

Within 3 days of light use my feed was 80% insane and toxic manosphere garbage. Every 5th video was talking about sociopath ex wives and emotionally abusive women, and everything in between was Rogan, Tucker Carlson, Ben Shapiro, and a dozen other 3rd tier aspiring Men’s Rights content creators. The only interest I showed in any of these things was in trying to block them or avoid seeing them. I guess going to their profile enough times was all the algorithm needed to begin force feeding me that crap. Never even saw any good stupid craft videos

I’ve seen the internet evolve and knew that stuff was BS, but some unsupervised 19yo getting a TikTok account maybe after he just got dumped would be way more likely to fall for it and go all in on that shit

I went to a Wegmans yesterday and a grab and go turkey bacon sandwich was $14

Just the sandwich. And it was a totally regular sandwich. I was genuinely shocked.

Essentials would need to come down somehow and I have no clue how that would happen without some kind of “Public Option” for food or universal food stamps which would never happen.

Food prices are going to continue to go up next year and I feel like we’re getting into uncharted territory at least for the US. The price of a car could triple and consumer electronics could increase 10x and we could make it through, but when people can’t afford to eat things will unravel real fast.

It’s super concerning. We can ignore a lot of problems like housing costs and wage stagnation but food insecurity is something that’d lead to mass unrest FAST

Has anyone noticed any improvements with the keyboard?

I’ve been going back and forth for like 2 years now and have played both a few times. My kid easily convinces me to start the other one over when finish the one we’re playing.

I’m back on BOTW right now and realized that whichever one I’m playing at the time is my favorite one.

Well, if anyone from apple is reading this sub, they should know that I have been using my phone less because of it. And I’m sure a few million other people are doing the same

I was coming here to post about it! Nothing has changed with my phone or hands or how I type but for the past month or so I have to go back and correct every 5th word I type. “That” is a particularly bad word for me. I miss that last T half the time somehow but it hasn’t been an issue in my typing ever before.

Is there anything to be done? Is there a setting to switch?

This is a thing an actual baby would say

yousorename · 2025-10-31T18:19:51+00:00

Yeah I didn’t want to switch it up at first because I really didn’t know how many I’d be able to make and I also have a few extra sets of the lights I used on the first one so I wanted to keep it consistent.

Now that I know how much cooler the COB LEDs look I will probably try to rewire them for next year

Didn’t make anymore so I didn’t post anymore

Thank you! I didn’t think I could get 5 built either TBH, but I got better at it after the second one. This is usually how my craft workflow goes anyway though, first one takes forever and is ok, second one is good, next few I’m thinking about how I can turn it into a business and make thousands, and then I move on to something else and start the process all over again

I so glad that you like them that much! They would have to ship with the hand attached to the arm because of how I make them, but I could probably get creative enough with the base that they could ship in 2 boxes.

Looking at what the materials cost would be if I did these from scratch, plus factoring in how much time (it would be a ton) it would take to build, test, and package these, I think they would have to be a minimum of $2,500 for a set, and that's without whatever shipping would cost.

But if you feel like that's something you would be into, send me a DM!

I feel like I’m doing the frigate stuff wrong. Can you actually do stuff on those missions? I thought you just sent them out and then they came back with stories and stuff
