This is a recurring post to discuss programming or other technical projects that we've been working on. Tell us about one of your recent projects, either at work or personal projects. What's interesting about it? Are you having trouble with anything?

I recently got promoted and my new position is about 70% travel.

Planes are loud.
Airports are loud.
Malls are loud.

I'm looking for really good noise cancelling, over ear headphones that have a hidden mic.

Ideally they would be good at playing audio on a plane and for taking zoom calls on my laptop. Bonus if switching between my android phone and MacBook is simple/without known issues.

Price is not a concern.

Tildes is a very serious site, where we discuss very serious matters like gpl, linux and 1password. Tags culled from the highest voted topics from the last seven days, if anyone was observing closely.

But one of my favourite tags happens to be offbeat! Taking its original inspiration from Sir Nils Olav III, this thread is looking for any far-fetched offbeat stories lurking in the newspapers. It may not deserve its own post, but it deserves a wider audience!

As part of a weekly series, these topics are a place for users to casually discuss the things they did — or didn't do — during their week. Did you accomplish any goals? Suffer a failure? Do nothing at all? Tell us about it!

What have you been watching and reading this week? You don't need to give us a whole essay if you don't want to, but please write something! Feel free to talk about something you saw that was cool, something that was bad, ask for recommendations, or anything else you can think of.

If you want to, feel free to find the thing you're talking about and link to its pages on Anilist, MAL, or any other database you use!

I was gifted a set of tarot cards last year, and found myself quite stunned at how well they seemed to work. The cards led me slowly toward witchcraft as a broader area of investigation and study, and I find myself quite keen to take on the mantle of “witch.”

That said, I have no earthly idea where to begin practising. There are no covens (that I am aware of) in my area to learn from, so I guess that means it’s books and online resources for me!

Are any of my fellow Tilderen witches? How did you get started, and what do you recommend I do as a complete beginner?

I don't normally give my own examples for my own questions, but for this one I think it'll help with clarity for what I'm trying to get at:

I mentioned recently that we're in a golden age of N64 decompilations/recompilations with several high-profile games getting releases that make them run on modern machines with huge quality of life upgrades, and many more in the works (one for Extreme-G just came out two days ago).

I know that, with everything going on seemingly everywhere in the world right now, it can be difficult to think of things in terms of abundance and prosperity, but I also think there's a lot of it around if we look for it, especially in niche corners.

Goooood morning dear users, humans, non-humans, and things.

This project is still ongoing and currently has 2 pieces. I once shared one of the pictures back in winter I think not sure brain empty and stuff

I really liked creating these and also writing this post. Thank you for reading this or even looking at the images.

This little exercise is reminding me of what we used to do in class. Criticize each other's work, which I always really enjoyed. And I do miss. So maybe if someone else wants their work to be criticized, please let me know; I will gladly take a look at some other artworks or work of some other people. Potentially this could even be a scheduled post if enough demand is here and available.

Also if you think you don't have enough knowledge about the medium or the technique, THAT IS NOT IMPORTANT.

Feedback and criticism is always valuable you may see something from a entirely different point of view that I or "we" have never considered. ˙ᵕ˙

If you need further clarification or have further questions, just ask. ˙ᵕ˙ I won't bite I think unless you want me to*

So, thanks so much for reading this and I wish you a nice day.

Anways that's all

Best regards,
your neighborhood creature

I'm attempting to make a font for a little kids book I'm working on and realized I don't know anything about the "theory" of font making. I feel like the choices I'm making aren't adequately reflecting the feeling I'm going for.

Has anyone attempted to make their own font? Are there any guides or materials you suggest looking at? If you're up for it I'd love if you could share it and talk about your process! Looking for a combination of guidance and inspiration!!

Cheers!

I've only had one cavity in my life and that molar was removed today. I've got about 2-3 weeks of a super soft / liquid diet ahead of me, but I'm running low on ideas.

Tuesday was day one and I had:

Breakfast:

• yogurt + honey
• a protein shake

Dinner:

• more goddamn yogurt
• pho broth
• another protein shake
• bowl of ice cream (very rare)

Breakfasts will stay the same, but I will be adding in slamming a raw egg like tough guys did in the 80s.

Today (Wednesday) is likely to be a cooled butternut squash soup and whatever else I can think of.

Anybody go through this and have any good suggestions? I'm a good cook and I can buy anything else and I'm not in any pain, so nothing is off the table so long as it fits the soft/liquid format.
