I have a gif I've been holding onto that I can't figure out when/where I will use it, but I must keep it at the ready.

I will give you something to cry about!

There's a really good book by Susan Cain called "Quiet: The Power of Introverts In A World That Can't Stop Talking". She actually talks about the scientific research done regarding introverts and extroverts on a biological level, and it's some pretty fascinating stuff.

She also has a very interesting TED talk.

If you think you're an introvert, or even just know an introvert, or are an extrovert that wants to understand the difference, I highly recommend both.

Just read the transcripts of that video, very informative, great link. Certainly helps me understand much better on what being an introvert means.

If you liked it, the book might be very worthwhile to you. It opened my eyes to a number of interesting things in regards to the introvert/extrovert spectrum.

I am not a huge fan of baklava but I do buy it occasionally from the same Filipino lady who makes lumpia for me. It blows away the stuff Nikos sells (a local Greek restaurant).

I don't know why I don't have Three Panel Soul on constant repeat.

You could also consult with your local chapter of the NCJW to see if they might have any resources. They'd probably be especially keen if you had an interest in the Women of the Wall or feminism in Israel or the work of the Hand in Hand school.

@cobaltasaurus So, I joined discord because all my friends from FF14 joined it. So when I joined I created my account based on my FF14 name which is Rory Ejinn on Zalera. Thus on discord I am Rory whereas pretty much anywhere else I'm some form of TakeshiKO or CCubed.

@mietze If you start to turn green or fuzzy all over, you have expired. 😄

Or we're finally entering the Sixth World.

Have to share this, and happy holidays...

When on campus, I admit to having an addiction to places that will deliver to whatever room I am in. Which is pretty much all of them.

The market is definitely there.

@ghost That sucks... he was one of my favorite vocalists too.

His cover of Lucretia, My Reflection was spectacular.

The publisher got a printer lined up, so it's now available in dead tree format, too.

I'm using two headsets.

One is an Mpow Cheetah; cheap as hell (something like $30? from amazon.ca, probably way cheaper for the USAians), the battery is decent for what it is... good for sports, light, feels secure behind the ears. I like I can easily put it away in my coat pocket and forget about it until I need it, too, the damn thing is so compact.

My other set was a Christmas present but Bose Soundlink II was a pretty decent low/midrange headset. Way more comfortable, the battery is amazing and it sounds way better. But it's not as secure for sportsy stuff - anything other than a brisk walk wouldn't be too great.

@karmageddon Success!

@auspice Supply Closet!

All those handy cleaning supplies for after, after all.
