So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.

I don't think I'll never not find it weird when I come across someone called Babar, Celeste, or Cornelius. Like, no, only elephants can be called that.
Can confirm: my LG dryer plays a happy little tune when I start it, and it's practically giddy when the clothes are dry and it stops.

No, no time at all. The lights gradually get brighter, until I wake up naturally.
It did take a few days to fine-tune how long it took me to wake up, and there's still some variability. If I'm in a deep sleep cycle it'll take the full 15 minutes, if I'm in a light or REM sleep cycle, I'll wake up as soon as the lights come on.
I got rid of my audible alarm clock by switching the lights in my bedroom to "smart" lights and programming them to simulate a sunrise, starting about 15 minutes before I need to be awake.
It's much more relaxing than being jarred out of sleep by MEH! MEH! MEH!
It's not true, there's no radiation (the way that word is commonly used). Microwaves are just a frequency of radio waves, like AM or FM.
This one doesn't say anything about an app, but it has a speech function:
Okay #blind community. I need help something. Recommendations for a kitchen thermometer that can be connected to an accessible app. I seem to recall iGrill brand used to have an accessible app. Any others?

I'm in a weird situation. I have three people I'd feel confident/comfortable calling for something really huge - like needing to be bailed out of jail - but no one I'd feel comfortable calling for lunch, or to go to a movie. The three people are busy / have families / have jobs. I just feel like I'm intruding if I call them.
I used to make videos about books and language learning, but I wasn't really in the right headspace for it these past couple of years. But recently I've been wanting to pick up my camera again; I just love documenting things in my daily life that make me happy and talking about books!

What other people said. If she is avoiding you, trying to talk to her will only make her more convinced she did the right thing. If it's something completely unrelated to you, it won't hurt anything to let her strike up the conversation next time. Just smile, wave, be approachable, and let her take the initiative.
Before supper last night, I whipped up a chocolate cake, because it's CHOCOLATE CAKE⦠and we didn't have any around.
This breaks every rule in the book, but I'm having lunch cake today too.
If lunch cake is breaking the rules, I guess I should warn everyone to avert their eyes when I have a slice of breakfast cake.

I've started wondering if the negative reaction NTs have to NDs is related to the phenomenon they're calling "Uncanny Valley" in robotics. People have an automatic negative reaction to robots who are very close to human appearance, but slightly off.

My Wife: Now don't eat all of the cake at once
Me: sorry I'm driving and you're breaking up
My Wife: I'm right here in the passenger seat!
I think my dog is a Gumby/Lab mix. Maybe I should have named him Gumby. Then when someone asks his name , I could say βHeβs Gumby dammit!β
Donβt ask me who Gumby is, you young whippersnapper. Also donβt ask me what whippersnapper means.
