As the year draws to a close, I've been thinking back on the things I've been using in my craft. I figured folks might like to join me, and it could spark some interesting discussions about different kinds of artistic tools.
- What have been your go-to art/craft supplies this year?
- What have you tried for the very first time?
- Have you returned to using something you haven't touched in a long while?
- Have you been pleasantly surprised by something?
- Has something disappointed you?
- Was there something you dreamed about making art with, but couldn't get for some reason?

situation: Watch video until the end, and want to get back to "home" with as little drama/clicking as possible.
Current process:
- hit the tiny ass'd "x" at the top right to close the suggestions overlay (usually after several attempts)
- drag the video position back 30+ seconds so that the "up next" overlay is no longer obscuring the minimize video carat in the upper left.
- hit the tiny ass'd minimize video carat (usually after several attempts)
I keep wishing there was just a 'go back to home screen' option available at the end of videos that I'm just missing.

Apple recently released a journal app in their latest iOS update. I used to journal when I was younger and thought it would be a good opportunity to get back into it. I usually use it as a reflection of my day, but some days nothing happens and I feel like there's probably a plethora of things I could be writing about.
So for those of you who journal what do you like to write in it?

Hey everyone! Currently trying to make sewing more of a hobby by creating things rather than just tailoring/repairing clothes I already own.
I've dabbled but haven't done much (fanny pack humble brag here). Thinking a good first project to get back into it would be making a winter cloak for my gf, this one in particular. Hoping to make it with wool or another warm, fairly snow or proof fabric, open to suggestions for alternatives too.
I'm aware making clothing tends to be more $$$ than buying premade, but having trouble justifying the price on some of the sites I've seen and hesitant when I can't see or touch the fabric before purchasing.
Curious if anyone here would have a recommendation for an online retailer that ships to the US that they think is a good deal? I was hoping to spend a max of $40-50/yard but would be willing to spend more if I got some friendly assurance of a seller's quality and customer service.
Thanks!

I live in the EU. I recently applied for a credit card, and the banker asked me (about my job): "Is it a management role?"
I realized that it is a question I have been asked several times in the past by banks. I tried a cursory google & Reddit search, but I haven't found anyone being curious about this.
I'll try here then. Does anyone know why bankers ask this question? How does it matter? Are "individual contributors" seen as worse/riskier customers than managers?
I have my own informal, anecdotal opinion, but I'm hoping to hear some more informed answer.

I'll be visiting Taipei for a little over a week in mid-January. I'm going to attend a conference, but have most evenings free and will be staying a few days after it ends too. Looking for good recommendations on activities in the city (museums, sights, etc.). I've heard Taipei has a very good nightlife, but unfortunately I don't know if I'll be able to experience much of that due to with whom I'm traveling.
