Hi - I'm in the process of sorting out my second child's school application. We're relatively far from our eldest's school's catchment area, although not unreasonably, and we're a little concerned that the youngest won't get in for whatever reason.

Can anyone offer any advice? Should we list backup schools or just the one? Does anyone know of instances where siblings haven't gotten into the same school?

Part of our concern stems from the fact that our eldest didn't get into the school originally and did reception at a closer school, then moved in Year 1.

I just got the Redmi Pad 2 and love it, but I really don't find the case comfortable to hold when folded into the triangle/prism shape. Does anyone know of similar cases where the shape is more cylindrical?

I'm talking about aside from blatant "hey, I built this and you should try it" type posts. What strategies do you use? Any communities you recommend?

Just kidding.

I've had a long history with ADHD and meds. I was diagnosed over 30 years ago and started ritalin around 25 years ago. I eventually started Concerta in my teens, getting as high as 54mg.

After about 5 years, I started having chest pains and switched to short acting ritalin, which has been my routine for about 15 years now.

I've been having really bad drop off symptoms with the short acting, so I'm now on week 4 of returning to Concerta. I'm currently on 36 after 1 week of 18.

I feel great during the day while I'm on it, but the moment it wears off it's like a side effect crap shoot. Irritability, mood swings, headaches/vertigo, chest pains (but now only when off the meds).

I've been trying to get in touch with my doctor, but they basically said to give it more time and I'm not sure if I can. They said eating something high protein can help the drop off, but honestly I don't notice much of a difference.

Has anyone experienced anything like this? Any tips to help smooth the drop off?

For reference, I'm 39M around 86kg and taking 36mg around 7-8am.

James' rant about YouTube this week is one of the reasons I am a Big Sandwich subscriber, and the reason I do similar things for other creators I like. It's just so messed up that a corporation could tweak their algorithm or whatever and suddenly it has this huge impact on someone's income.

I'm building a new tracking app to record all the media I consume, including audiobooks. I'm trying to find a way to get all my data for the finish dates for all the audiobooks I've listened to. Does anyone know how to do this?

I've watched the OG series at least a dozen times and I still notice new details. I just finished the live action S2 and obviously had to go rewatch OG.

I only JUST noticed that the pai sho tiles have all the elements on them. You can see it in ep 1 when Iroh is playing with them.

Never noticed that before!

What are some details you noticed on rewatch?

So the more I think about DCC being adapted into a TV show, the more I feel like it would be so much better animated instead of live-action. The amount of special effects needed for Donut alone would make the budget astronomical to get something good. There's so much more possibility in animation.

Book 7 especially feels like you'd either be making Lord of the Rings levels of grand battle scenes to get anything close to the epic scale of it all from the book.
