I have an acquired incomplete SCI. I have realised I can't go back to my career the way I want to and need to find a new way to fulfil myself.

If you had an intense or fast paced job which you had to give up what do you do now to fill the gap outside work? Lawyers, nurses, finance bros, sales people, military, I need your help.

I don't have kids, am not interested in academia, but need to find something mentally challenging and VERY competitive to fill the gap.

Can anyone recommend games with really big nonograms?

I started replaying Logiart recently and realised I had never come across any other games with lots of bigger (30x40 40x40 etc) grids. Can anyone recommend some?

Does anyone else love the mahoousive ones best like me?

I don't mean the little toggle button, but the actual model's thinking.

I looked at the Deepseek documentation and have been putting the following in the global prompt, but I am not sure if it's actually *doing* anything.

response = client.chat.completions.create(

model="deepseek-v4-flash",

extra_body={"thinking": {"type": "disabled"}}

)

At this rate I am going to have to abandon JAI for Silly tavern, because at least you can successfully turn it off there.

Does anyone know map making apps that work well using a touch screen?

​

I want to try and play 4AD digitally on something portable, but I am getting stuck on the map drawing/making bit.

​

I've seen people suggest PUM Companion for maps generally, but is it compatible with the dungeon drawing type game play?

Awaiting a scan atm, after a few attacks in a month. A special occasion is coming up and my partner wants to eat dim sum. Is there anything that will not set me off?

​

Currently saturated fat and anything mildly spicy set me off. Found this out the hard way after having very mild bibim guksu 🥺

​

So anything fried, any stir fry (had issues in the past the with restaurants using old oil), chili sauce, XO sauce is out. Is there except for congee that would be OK?

Cheungfun? Har gow?

I saw this post on twitter talking about a grape and prosciutto 'jazz salad' : CIA cafeteria complaints and wanted to know what the hell it is.

But Jazz Salad is also (apparently and unsurprisingly) the name of a famous jazz album so it's nigh ungoogleable. In context, I don't think it's a specific salad made with Jazz apples either... so what is it?

I'm Australian, so love putting 'inappropriate' meat or fruit in dishes (nectarine and prosciutto pasta? Hell yeah), and want to know if there is a secret well of salads I have missed out on.

I have a bodice block from a Mueller and Sons book that I want to use to make a top, but I don't know how to make the bottom few inches!

The bodices in the book stop at the natural waist so they can be used for dress patterns, but I can't work out what you do if you want a top/blouse instead.
