Also, and just because this is a huge trap for some, if your wedding band is made of Tungsten, that metal doesnt work with metal detectors. So if your out in the cold and wet, just take it off or wear gloves to prevent your ring from flying off and making the worlds most adorable and heartbreaking piff sound.
The single best piece of for working in these sorts of cold and forbidding environments, shoveling a lot of , is that layers of clothing is super useful. Also, take it slowly. There isnt a time trial. Plus, this is super good cardiovascular exercise. Lots of walking, pushing, heaving, so youve got elements of a treadmill, kettlebells, and very mild weights. Also, remove all your valuable rings on your fingers. I have lost my partnership ring twice. Yep. Metal detector rentals!

Alright Fedi, I know some of you are completely unhinged about so I need you to tell me everything you know about the 2013 500.
I found one that's in my price range and I think I could knock it out with ease, but I need to know if it's a decent car.

Important Dos and Donts When Writing Novellas -publishing -building
I spoke recently to a colleague about grant reviewing.
Advice for invited reviewers mentioned, among other, things, was:
Judge the merits of the proposal itself, and do not refer to information not detailed within the application. The proposal must be self-contained.
This is both good and bad advice.
Good in that proposals should be self-contained and appear sound, and I think non-subject-matter-experts can attest to that. That is, have the proposal's claims, methodology, and potential impact been substantiated with evidence and described.
Bad for external reviewers, who one can assume are subject-matter-experts, as we should be commenting on the merits of the ideas presented, referring to outside knowledge, and if the evidence presented is suitable. Not it's presentation.
One can present a research proposal well that is self-contained, but also miss out complete swathes of knowledge that make the research trickier to justify.
Related work matters!
I need some here. I recently got gifted Darklight: Memento Mori, an out of print from 2018 or thereabouts.
I have the base game and two expansions, opened but unplayed. The cards are still wrapped, the models unpainted, etc.
The models are cool, the game got pretty good reviews, it's absolutely massive, it weighs several kilos and takes up too much space. I kind of want to paint and maybe play it, but I'm thinking I might want to sell it too.
My friend is immigrating from Canada to the US. In the process, she has to spend at least 3-10 days in Montreal for her interviews, and shes freaking out about expenses (mostly hotels and food), culture shock, and not knowing what to expect.
Can any of my French Canadian friends in/near Montreal help me tell her some tips for saving money while there, and for getting around if she doesnt know any French
Some of the best advice comes from John Waters.
If you go home with somebody and they don't have books, don't fuck them. Collect books, even if you don't plan on reading them right away. Nothing is more important than an unread library. Life is nothing if you're not obsessed. - John Waters.
Something about this makes me happy, and I don't know why.

Any Deaf/HoH folks with chronic pain in their hands around for some advice
I am about to start properly learning ASL but my dominant hand is kinda borked having some weird pain/muscle/crampy issues, possibly just testoterone making all the existing overly tense muscle stuff worse but who knows.
Now Im wondering: does it make sense to start learning with my non-dominant hand right away rather than risking having too much strain on my right hand and then having to switch to my left later Has anyone had to switch their dominant hand for signing later on Is it much of a brainfuck to mirror everything youve already learned

A little advice Especially folks who work at a bank
Out on my walk I found a check in the grass. Filled out for a decent amount, not endorsed on the back. It was from out of state, so I couldn't return it directly to a house in the neighborhood.
A branch of the bank on the check was near my walk though, so I took it to that branch and gave it to a teller.
I couldn't think of any other solution that wouldn't be weird or creepy.
Is there some other way to handle that Should I have mailed it to the person who wrote the check
