There's never such a thing is normality or weird, when we all have our own perspectives on what that is.
Personally I believe weird to be a challenge and that's often a good thing, to keep you on your toes thinking. Whilst normality is a thing you're just comfortable with and know is there, like sleeping or eating.
Using weird as an insult is an insult against yourself. Since it says a lot about you and your perspective of people and how little you know about them.
Can anyone tell me how to repair this power cord to my infrared heating pad The outer insulation has come loose, but there aren't any bare wires. I use this thing every day. I got some Sugru, but the label says not to use it on electrical wires over 24 volts, and this has 120 v.

Insults are a sign of a losing battle. I notice people resort to insults when they can't justify what they stand for. We see it with meat eaters at vegan protests. We see it with transphobes/homophobes at LGBTQ+ parades. You see it with political leanings. And vice versa. It does annoy me to an extent since, it's blatant dishonesty and anti-progressive.
Anyone have any recommendations for a program or game that teaches typing My eight year old probably ought to be picking up that skill sooner than later, but I'm thinking the Apple II Typing Tutor from my elementary school computer lab is probably no longer the right choice...

Everyone wants to give advice, but very few want to apply it.
I had a slight cold the last few days. Stuffy nose, cough, fatigue. It seemed like it had just about run its course when it existed to mount a nasty last stand in my sinuses.
It feels like Im being stabbed just below the eyes on my cheek, and its painful enough that Im probably not going to sleep tonight. NyQuil hasnt touched it.
If anyone has ideas (at this point, Im considering sticking a tube up there and hooking the other end to my 12HP shop vac), I could really use ideas. Stabbing my face with a syringe needle to relieve/equalize the pressure is not out of the question.
Nice on :

5 More Tips for Staying Motivated - It can be hard to find motivation to write, so here's a few more tips to help get you working.
Exit the conversation when one of the parties begins "splitting the split hair." They likely just want to have the last word and your logic is unlikely to sway them.
: Try not to be one of those parties.
My would be to find projects that you actually use yourself, work with them, and figure out what enhancements or bug fixes you personally would like that would help you use it more productively or enjoyably. Then work with the project to make your contributions.
Trying to contribute things you don't have a stake in, IMHO, are unlikely to help you much.
e.g. I really liked grin/grin3 but it was missing features - so I implemented them and contributed them.
While I'm very excited to be considering multiple offers, I'm struggling to choose between them, especially with so little time. Any from those in about how they made this decision would be greatly appreciated.

As a reminder. Just because someone is autistic or neurodiverse doesn't mean they get to be a dick to you or abuse you. Don't get me wrong, we should do everything in our power to help neurodiverse people and stand up for them but remember your boundaries and don't let people push them.
