Well, hope you find some people here to chat to or some topics to strike up a conversation in.

not really any more

sure, its a set of emotions i cant seem to feel, but a penguin probably has a set of emotions i cant feel too and i dont spend that much time wondering what is going through their head.

welcome.

Even though I do enjoy romantic plots and stuff, I don't see them as pleasant. I see them as almost magical.

now thats an interesting idea!

If I can ask, did you do applied/engineering physics or a more pure physics degree? I've heard this can make a bit of a difference, but that depends on where you are though. Engineering physics in Canada and some European countries seems to be kinda applicable to industry because of the emphasis on engineering concepts as well as using physics to improve stuff in engineering (to give a very rough and general explanation).

 

pure physics.

I'm in the uk and i am not sure about the difference. I think more jobs look for engineering degrees but most also are ok with accepting physics degrees. I think if you write a good cover letter/cv and do well in any online testing they ask for then that makes up for a lot of concerns over lacking the practical knowledge.

It looks so badass and this colour is so gorgeous! Did you make it in the same way, and with the same materials, as your first one here, if you don't mind the q.?

yes, exact same techniques, only diference is i used some square copper wire rather than crushed opal.

'I can't help thinking that science would be more appealing if it had no practical use' - Claude Levi-Strauss

'Part of the inhumanity of the computer is that, once it is competently programmed and working smoothly, it is completely honest' - Isaac Asimov

'Have you ever read a Michael Crichton novel, or seen one of his movies, in which the hubristic scientist actually paused and declared: "Hey, science shouldn't be done in shadows. If I keep this new thing secret I'll probably do something gruesomely stupid. But if I discuss this innovation with hundreds of peers, some of them will catch my mistakes and things won't get out of hand. Nobody will die.' - David Brin

'Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.' - Rick Cook

another ring i made, this time with a copper inlay

Yeah, its fair to be worried about the thing that is going to put food on your table and a roof over your head.

i got pretty lucky that the thing I studied was physics which seems to be a pretty good thing to do when it comes to getting jobs. so i guess i got very lucky there that i was enjoying a thing which can be made to pay and am in a country where i was able to train in that. at the moment im ok and have recently got a new job, but there is still going to be that worry of what do i do if i get laid off.

I guess this links to living single, one thing i have to accept is that i dont have another partner so if i am out of work there is no-one else with at least some money coming in for basics.

There is now a part 2, for anyone interested:

And for some reason, "expressing feelings" because in 80% of the case "expressing (romantic) love"

Im just imagining all these kids writing love poems and one kid just decides to write about existential dread.

half the poem is screaming.

Anyway. thank goodness for me the uk is a bit better on this. although to be fair some of that is because our best poets wrote about having a really shit time in ww1.

Welcome

here, hev a frog

An Englishman an Irishman and a Scotsman were in a pub, talking about their sons. "My son was born on St George's Day," said the Englishman. "So we decided to call him George."
"That's a real coincidence," remarked the Scot. "My son was born on St Andrew's Day, so we decided to call him Andrew."
"That's incredible, what a coincidence," said the Irishman.
"Exactly the same thing happened with my son, Pancake."

found this

to be honest I just like the kitteh

but anyway, have some positivity

The aromantic spectrum awareness week site has a calender of events, incase anyone wasnt aware and wants to see if there is anything they are interested in.

https://www.arospecweek.org/get-involved/events/

Also if you have events not on there, you might want to add them so more people see what is going on.

I'll do the training with you, you can jump out of a plane without me though.

TPBM, would you be interested in a heist on the British Museum, we're going to steal the complaint tablet to Ea Nasir
