Comment on Record numbers of Swedish retirees are enrolling in a university run “by pensioners for pensioners” amid increased loneliness and a growing appetite for learning and in-person interactions in ~life
RheingoldRiver Link ParentThat sounds really cool and I want to know more! What courses does that encompass? How many years (decades?) are you expecting it to take? Which subjects have you already done and what parts have...Since higher education is free in Sweden I have as a personal aspiration to complete all A-level courses.
That sounds really cool and I want to know more! What courses does that encompass? How many years (decades?) are you expecting it to take? Which subjects have you already done and what parts have you enjoyed the most?

Comment on Cell phone advice in ~tech
RheingoldRiver Link ParentSo, after procrastinating a while, I bought an xcover 7 on amazon yesterday (so I can return it if I have to).

Have not started setting it up yet but I can already tell it's way too big and heavy, I can't use this phone.
Do you know if it's possible to get a lower-capacity and lighter-weight battery?
Otherwise I think I'm going to have to start over in my search with a single priority of "must not be bigger or heavier than my current phone" and everything else is compromise

- Feb: Born a Crime: Incredible!!!
- March: Hyperion: Excellent, but the series does not hold up. My ratings were 5, 4, 3, 2 for the four books
- April: Elder Race: Read this years ago, remains my favorite novella of all time
- May: A People's Future of the United States: Skipped
- June: A House with Good Bones: Skipped
- July: The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store: Read this and loved it!
- Aug: Cat's Cradle: Skipped
- Sep: Stories of Your Life and Others: Not my favorite
- Oct: The Poisoner's Handbook: Read this a bit late and enjoyed it a lot! Wasn't quite what I expected but learned some wild things about Prohibition in particular
- Nov: We are Legion (We are Bob): Read this last year, it was okay, not my favorite series
Overall, I read a bunch of books that weren't really on my radar or if they were they were endlessly pushed off my TBR, and I think for all of them either I enjoyed it or I thought there was interesting discussion, for a lot of them both! This has been a great book club!

Comment on Advice request: potentially adopting a cat in ~life.pets
RheingoldRiver LinkThat might work for an entire day, don't expect to be able to keep the cat out of any space really. Cats are three-dimensional and will get everywhere. On tables, chairs, desks, bookshelves,...we are planning on keeping the cat out of the bedroom
That might work for an entire day, don't expect to be able to keep the cat out of any space really. Cats are three-dimensional and will get everywhere. On tables, chairs, desks, bookshelves, counters, etc. Some cats are more or less adventurous than other cats, and they'll have preferences (for example, my cat was not big into kitchen counters, but loved my desk), but basically every surface WILL become a cat surface.

If you want 9000 then I think the one I did, Dragon Forest, is the easiest one there is (because you can do a large amount of color sorting at the start), but Bombardment of Algiers is also lovely.
There's also a new 7000 piece puzzle called The Six Portals that's gonna get a USA release next month and is already available in Germany. I'm SUPER excited for it!!!

A year later, I hung my puzzle up, and still another year later, I published my promised blog post about it as part of TiMaSoMo.
Following the TiMaSoMo advice to post my project elsewhere on tildes (but procrastinating on that for an extra month) I am now posting it here! Thanks to everyone who helped me!!

Also threading sucks in talk pages and a lot of people straight-up don't know how to use them. Would not recommend that one (or any other MediaWiki host) for this purpose.
Source: I work for a "competitor" to miraheze but am deeply familiar with what MediaWiki is and isn't good for, and relatively familiar with what types of applications they do and don't accept
