Do you think being ace (esp sex-averse) has impacted your ability or desire to dance?

I really hate being sexualized and get very uncomfortable at the idea that someone might be sexualizing me. This meant that as a teen when grinding on the dance floor was popular I avoided it like the plague. I never went clubbing or danced at parties. To this day I don't know how to dance in a group setting. Now I'm useless at a wedding, even though it's not sexy dancing. I just never got the practice.

Is this just a me thing with dancing? Does anyone else find their sex-aversion has crept into dance-aversion?

I do LIKE dancing when it's not bump and grind and I have instructions. I learned to line dance and swing dance (both the dorkiest of all dancing lol) once upon a time.

What is this guy and what can I do better next year?

My first time growing corn, and I have no idea what I’m doing. It’s Otto File corn if that helps.

I already know a few things I did wrong: didn’t mulch, didn’t water regularly enough, planted a few weeks late.

Are those what caused these tiny ears? What can I do to prevent pests? This ear was the best looking one on the stalk, but I saw a few bug holes. I don’t think I’m getting anything usable this year unfortunately, but I want to do better next year.

Any idea what this camcorder cable is?

I unearthed the family camcorder from my childhood (it smells exactly how I remembered) and would like to experiment with filming on it.

I bought an RCA & S Video to USB connector because I thought this was S Video, but it’s not! It seems like it could be proprietary? Is there somewhere I can source a capture card or a converter for this?

I could just record to vhs tapes and digitize them. But that will really slow the process and I’d much rather go straight to digital if at all possible.

It’s a JVC GR-C7U if that helps.

Four magic eraser sheets disintegrated for one drawer face. I have three other pieces. Is there a less wasteful way to unyellow these?

Dish soap gets the grime off but the magic eraser seems to be the only way to remove the yellowing. And the top drawer could still use a whole other sheet. I don’t mind the elbow grease, but surely there’s a better way.

They sat in my parents garage for years and years and I dunno if they were ever cleaned before that.
