    What's your current favourite T Shirt?

    I quite like getting T Shirts with funny or cute designs on them. Usually mine are cat themed 😸 I've said before that I seem to communicate through the medium of T Shirts. Here's my current favourite one... 😸 I'm definitely an indoor cat, well most of the time. I'm sure lots of you will have...

    What did you find today? :-)

    Hey everyone! :-) I was out on my travels today and found a book that I think is pretty neat and quirky. It's been fun looking through it. It's called "Cone's Book of Handicrafts - Practical Things to Make and Do". It was published in 1961. I'm sure lots of us find things that we find...

    I just had a theory about Extra Terrestrial encounters...

    So I'm struggling to sleep again and my head hurts and while trying to distract myself browsing through the forum on my phone, I caught a glimpse of one of the poles on our bedframe. It was slightly out of focus with a bit of reflected light behind it and suddenly it looked like something...

    I think I just experienced the "Mandela Effect"! ;-)

    So, not that I believe in such things, (although it's fun to hear stories about it!) I think I just slipped into a parallel dimension 😜 TLDR: I'm just expressing my amazement that my old laptop screen fixed itself when it had been physically damaged and can't figure out how it somehow healed...

    Do we have way more computer power than we need?

    Having been messing around with some quite old iMacs (actually probably considered ancient at 12-14 years old), I've noticed that they just don't feel old or cumbersome to use. I upgraded the i3 CPU in my 27" iMac to an i5 and it's definitely a bit quicker, enough that you notice. I was happy...

    Things You Find Relaxing But Others Find Weird

    I guess not necessarily an ND thing, but I was wondering how many of you guys have things that you find relaxing that others probably can't understand. One thing I find relaxing almost without exception is watching the first two ALIEN movies. Yes, nothing like a SciFi Space Opera Horror to calm...

    When did you lose your last milk/baby tooth?

    I know, strange question right? :smilecat: I'm just curious as I was 20-21 when I recall the last of my milk teeth falling out, they were molars. It took me by surprise as I thought I had lost all my milk teeth, but even then I was 17-18 when the previous set of milk molars fell out. I was...

    Anyone else recognise this in themselves?

    The phenomenon of "T-Rex Arms", I hope this isn't considered offensive to anyone. It's not my intention to cause offence. I've happened upon people talking about this elsewhere on the internet. It pops up on some videos in passing on YouTube channels that discuss Autism. Basically if you don't...

    Mildred's Projects Thread

    Since I've been working on a few things recently and I seem to have the energy to make decent progress lately, I thought I might start a thread where I try and show what I've been doing and hopefully maybe one or two people might find it interesting. I've posted about modifying 3rd Generation...

    Adventures Flash Modding 3rd Generation iPods

    Just needed to let off some steam about what I've been working on. I guess this is me infodumping. I dunno, maybe someone will find it interesting! I posted a while back that I had successfully modified my ancient 3rd Generation iPod to use efficient modern SD cards as storage. So I fixed up...

    Stim that has started to a bit of a problem.

    Hey everyone. This has been on my mind for a little while. Ever since I can remember, I have had this compulsive habit to bite my lip. It's definitely something I find soothing and until recently I guess it's not been a huge problem. Over the last few years I've had some rather terrible anxiety...

    Clothing labels/tags irritation.

    As in the title I guess. How many of you guys get driven to distraction by the labels or tags on your clothing? I know perhaps it's a cliché, but I have been wondering if it's as common as people say. This has always been a major sensory issue for me as far back as I can remember. T-shirts...

    Generic Medication Insights?

    Ok, sorry this is a super long post, TLDR basically I think my generic meds sometimes don't have any active ingredient in them and I think this is making me unwell... This is a bit of a weird one I guess. As some of you may know, I am diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder. I have been prescribed a...

    Post What You Wish You Had Said To Whomever Was Last Rude To You.

    I thought I would start this as a few of us (myself included) have been feeling disheartened by people's behaviour at times. So I thought this could be a bit therapeutic. Post memes or diatribes, witty retorts and rhetoric that you wish you had said but nerves or mutism got in your way. Let's...

    A Glitch In The Matrix

    After my surreal experience today soldering electrical connections on my guitar project only to find they didn't work, then unsoldering them and twisting the wires did work, then soldering them only to find they didn't work again. It really felt like a "Glitch in the Matrix". I occasionally...

    Stone Soup (A story told by Jean Thurston)

    First a little context. I started school, primary school, when I was still 4 years old. I was the second youngest there by about 2 weeks. I had a wonderful first teacher though, she was kind, patient and gentle. I've never forgotten her. I found out that she had died in 2011 when I moved back to...

    I'm making a PCB! (Printed Circuit Board)

    Trying to push myself to do something at least somewhat constructive today. I've been making a PCB for the active tone circuit on my guitar a Westone Rainbow replica but with a little twist. I have a real Westone guitar, the Thunder 1A. I've decided to "make" a version of the Rainbow that...

    These tiles are pretty amazing!

    I just happened to catch this on YouTube, I'm referring to the first section producing these intricate tiles. But the rest of the video seems pretty interesting too. It's incredible what the artisans in the video manage to do with what looks like such an unwieldy tool. This is the sort of...

    Finally been drawing somethin!

    My girlfriend got me a nice chromebook for Christmas. So I found my stylus and tried to draw something. I'm getting used to the stylus and tablet so its not the Mona Lisa! Just something I used to draw a lot as a kid :)

    There's 'er problem I hate Volkswagen part 2

    Ok on a hunch I took a look at my dad's car today and took off the cam belt cover and... It may not show up very well but if you look closely you may just be able to see some scored metal to the left of the bolts. That's a sign of where the cam shaft pulley sprockets should be. @Nitro I...
