Folk music. I've been playing Irish traditional music as a hobby for years and it has always been an excellent gateway to making friends with like-minded people. Pursuing a hobby seriously and finding others who are also into said hobb

I wish they would sell the VW California in the US - it’s already kitted out for camping. Anyone know why they don’t?

I think us programmer types need to be careful about overanalyzing major decisions and completely ignoring our gut feelings. When choosing a life parter for example, you can find someone who "looks good on paper" and ticks certain

It's not all roses. We are on year 2 after hardscaping/xeriscaping our central Oregon yard. We took out all grass and put in about 40 native plants and grasses, mostly on our easement. Our main lawn is mostly mulch. We ran into a

I play traditional Irish flute: https://woodandsilvermusic.bandcamp.com I enjoy traditional music because of its simplicity. Just you and the instrument!

That is a really interesting question. I'd guess most would sing in unison, but I bet there were pockets where the musicianship was on point.

I said the same thing, then covid helped me realize the people I have been trying to befriend I don't actually like all that much! Being really picky about who you spend your precious time with and for what reasons makes a big differen

> Slack needs a mode that debounces messages so they're delivered en masse once per hour unless a box is checked that the message is urgent. This isn't Slack's fault or a software issue, it's the cultural expectation

I live in the high desert of central Oregon and finally got sick and tired of trying to maintain a lawn in the desert. I removed the lawn then planted a ton of zone 4/5 draught tolerant native plants, most of which flower. There are be

I would also add to give it time and not give up after one or two sessions. It takes time to establish a relationship with a therapist you connect with and to see patterns in your life emerge.

This is also a fun way to use an email-based coupon multiple times...I have yet to find an instance where this fails validation.

You are trying to fill a basic human need, which is simply beeing seen by others. What could alleviate some of this pain is simple social connection. I was always reading about how important it is and kind of blew it off, but as I get older

I was glad I found Provider after almost diving into BLoC. The less boilerplate and context switching the better.

I like this trend of moving back toward component based architecture. This has many similarities to Flutter, which for me has been a major breath of fresh air. What still gets me: HTML/CSS/JS honestly just sucks for building compl

This hasn't been my experience. You just need something worthwhile to do. I love to surf and play traditional Irish music. So I took a month long trip alone to Ireland in the winter time / off season. Spent every day surfing, cook

Not if you're having relationship issues with said wife/husband. Your spouse is biased. Sometimes you need an outside perspective. Close friends are also an option, but there are lots of folks out there who don't have somebod

It really has to be part of the company culture and a top-down process. If the higher-ups are on the forced 8-hours-in-the-seat plan, then why should the employees get more freedom than them? There's an unspoken "if I'm going

Along the same lines, I try to even just make brief eye contact with strangers after reading that it makes a difference, and recognizing it's something I appreciate when others do. From a recent NPR article [1]: "Kipling Williams,

I agree and had a similar experience my very first time. It ended up being a space in a dusty basement with pet hair everywhere. However I've had many good experiences since then and some mediocre ones. It could be a case of "you

Buy books at your local bookstore. The one in my town does such a good job with curation that I can pick something on any topic at random and 9/10 times it will be excellent. I think we'll see this more and more as people put less
