Most conversations can be categorized as either understanding or problem-solving...
Understanding or conversations aim to better understand thoughts, feelings, opinions, hopes, values & experiences.
-solving, decision-making or strategizing conversations aim to solve a problem or make a decision."

I am torn between the Canon R10 and the Canon R7 as a replacement for my professional DSRL. I'll be using the camera both with a small lens for vlogging and my 70-200, 100, and 24-70 L lenses, both for photography and video. So, I need a hybrid camera but I also need quality.
Anyone got any opinions here How worthwhile is the price and weight difference of the R10

Ok fedi hivemind, requested. I have to carry around a fairly sizeable number of pills in my pocket for extended periods, more than can be handled by a keychain pill bottle. I have been just using an old pill bottle, but these pills are tablets not capsules and the motion of them in my pocket is slowly but surely rendering them into dust. Any suggestions Surely someone else out there who is ADHD needs to carry around a bunch of pills so they don't forget them at home.

i currently use #contabo for its prices, but theyre bad performance, itd be nice to have something like contabo, but better xD - i am willing to pay more ofc
i dont really need a lot of #storage as i could just use cheap storage slab somewhere else ( such as contabo or buyvm ) while doing all the processing and all that somewhere else ( aka what i am looking for )
i dont really want something like #hetzner for their requirement of ID or 20 euro ( iirc they removed that ), i also compared other hosting providers before but idk honestly :

Fitzrovia Community Centre is working in partnership with Fitzrovia Neighbourhood Association and Connecting Boroughs. Photo: Fitzrovia News.Fitzrovia Community Centre (FCC) in Foley Street has been awarded a grant from Camden Council to deliver projects to support residents who are most impacted by the rising cost of living.
In November 2023 the council agreed a Cost of Living Community Response Fund of 450,000 from the Local Community Infrastructure Levy, the Family Crisis Fund and other Council budgets. 50,000 of this has been ringfenced for community launderette projects.
The council invited voluntary and community organisations across the borough to form partnerships, and for a lead organisation from each partnership to make a grant application.
is one of 31 lead organisations to receive an award of between 5,000 and 30,000 from the fund.
The grant of 12,500 to FCC is for the development of practical, community-led solutions that improve the well-being and household finances of local residents.
The project will run for six months, and we will be working in partnership with Fitzrovia Neighbourhood Association and Connecting Boroughs, says Donna Yay, director of FCC.
FCC will be running monthly events called RRRRepair the 4 Rs standing for Repair, Reuse, Repurpose and Recycle, says Yay.
Once a month on a Sunday afternoon, we will offer different stations staffed by skilled local volunteers to teach people how to mend clothes, fix bikes, repair small electricals, etc.
Our first event will be held in June and we are looking for volunteers. We want people who have a skill to share, are passionate about saving the planet and can give us a couple of hours on a Sunday.
They dont have to be available for every event, but we would ideally like some continuity. We are particularly keen on reaching men.
The grant will also allow to hold an additional weekly, face-to-face advice session at FCC, giving residents support on claiming welfare benefits, housing, fuel poverty, and help to fill in the sometimes complex forms in order to get financial help.
will be helping people with essential life skills and tasks, such as using online services, understand their bills, and how to shop around for cheaper utilities.
It will be volunteer run, under the umbrella of FCC, in case anyone is concerned about sharing personal details with strangers. We will DBS check and find them training. They will be able to make referrals to other agencies, eg, debt advice, employment advice, etc.
Its a preventative service to help people keep on top of issues before they get out of hand. Volunteers are multilingual, says Yay.
The project is funded by Camden, but as the community for the whole of Fitzrovia, we dont turn people away. Similarly, Camden residents can access anything that Westminster funds. We focus the promotion of the project in whichever area it is targeting, she says.
Anyone interested in finding out more, or volunteering with Fitzrovia Community Centre to help with the project, should email infofitzroviacommunitycentre.org or call 020 7580 8680 or drop by one day during office hours at , 2 Foley Street, London W1W 6DL.

Insane AdviceRight now I'm feeling extremely depressed, like want to hospitalize myself beyond repair depressed... because I realized how stupid the planet is. On top of ableist use of words, there's also these assumptions that are just largely regarded as correct. Such as inceldom being inherently bad without reason given to it... not to mention most incels, probably struggle with mental health issues. So what gives Why the hate Get to the source. Not the image.

I have a question for you. I want to start a shawl, the pattern is one size and knitted in a single yarn type. The pattern has the yarn requirements below. How much (meters or yards) do I need I'm confused by the two different amounts given (eg 554 m vs. 237m)
I am looking for recommendations on high or higher calorie cat food for my cat. I dont want something cheaply made but I also dont want to pay an arm and a leg.
Thanks

You heard it here ladies, don't bother with the wastes of energy. Instead, invest in yourself. I mean, the latter is great advice. As for me, if I am ever single again I am headed to a monastery, so I won't waste energy for some lady. I always do my best not to impose nor go where I am not invited

It's been a week and I am still trying to wrap my head around what I saw during the eclipse. It... it was not part of normal reality. I really cannot articulate it in mere words and that's not helping at all. I don't know what to do or how to make sense of it. Someone help, seriously
(2/2) but to be honest, I think it might be a blessing to be bombed. Taken out of this fucking shitty world. I was never treated with respect. I've been called a kind and talented person so many times but have nothing to show for it. And nobody wanted to be in a relationship with me despite that. Nobody wanted to be friends. Why do you think people turn to the side of evil
Looks like I've been invited to present some of my designs at a webinar! Which I guess means I need my ko-fi looking kind of together by May 8th and need to cut a couple new projects so I have a range of physical objects with me... Any for putting together a portfolio, presenting art pieces, or approaching this in general

5 Extra Tips for Staying Motivated - Staying motivated to write can be difficult. These tips might give you the nudge you need!
The only valid counter protest is one done with good reason. I've noticed an uptick in this trend, from both the far right and far left. And to be honest, it's childish. But the way to determine whether one is right or wrong is the reason behind it. You can't counter protest LGBTQ+ without any solid evidence against it. Which is where the counter protestors spectacularly fail. Share this with everyone. It's crucial to bettering yourself and others, and defending families.

If you have a Redbubble shop, how do you go about sharing advertising self-promoting your Redbubble shop And might you be willing to expand on how & what you do to promote it
Originally, I planned to set up a Facebook Instagram shop for it, but Meta for Business is changing policy which will make this impossible to do. I find myself in a very strange world of "how do I promote this" without social media... Thank you in advance.
It's never too late for some good advice.
