@vahnj @green I am glad I have a box of these on hand and it sounds like that's a good idea for you folks, too. :( - 3M 8511PB1-A-PS Particulate N95 Respirator with Valve, 10-Pack amazon.com/dp/B0002YKBV2/ref=c

@Jacel @green @vahnj I have a box of paper masks intended for painting and construction work. I picked them up in case the Canada wildfires were even worse during TI7 than they were, and I'm distressed by how useful a purchase this is looking like

@Jacel @_ You woke up a mere 25 hours ago on a different continent, why could you possibly be feeling tired?

@green @Jacel I am going to hide in my fortress of HEPA filters and air conditioning and even my employer will not drag me out of it

@Jacel ...the rain fell in torrents — except at occasional intervals, when it was checked by a violent gust of wind which swept up the streets (for it is in London that our scene lies), rattling along the housetops, and fiercely agitating the scanty flame of the lamps that struggled against the darkness.

I just realized that I feel like I'm greedy if I try to see a friend more than once a week or so. What the fuck, brain

depression, anxiety 

I will miss @Jacel very badly while sie isn't here, I always do, but the fundamentally unaddressed depression is what scares me the most.

depression, anxiety 

The thing that upsets me most about @Jacel having to go back to Wales is that I know sie doesn't get the kind of social contact sie needs there, and I feel powerless to do anything about it. Depression has been rough on both of us and there's so much less I can do to help

@ccolocho@cybre.space I am still getting used to not being a teen

I'm 31

I should probably give up on buying cooking spray and just use cooking oil (or olive oil) and a paper towel, given my overall level of dexterity with the sprays. I end up using the paper towel anyway...

@indi Although I was also disappointed when we moved from the bowling alley with colorful lighting to the one with plain lighting. My father had a very good reason, though - he had found a bowling alley that was willing to ban smoking in half the facility, permanently, just for us- reducing my asthma problems. They later banned smoking entirely after they discovered how many people the non-smoking section was drawing in.

@indi I remember the automatic pinsetters (which required manual intervention about every third game), the lights over the lane showing which pins were up and tracking frames and balls (with the correct tenth frame strike/spare rule handling), and paper scoresheets, although they eventually went to computerized scoring - which was disappointing to 8-year-old me, I liked the lights indicating pins!

This bowling alley has put all the groups with children on one side of the facility and all the non-child groups as far away as possible on the other side. THANK YOU, TechCity Bowl

Humans invented a robot to reset bowling pins years before computers were affordable

I dreamed about getting into an argument with Gordon Ramsay, in one of his own restaurants, whether it is socially appropriate for snake people to turn pages in books with their long, forked tongues
