I got one of these and have really like it. The bottom crossbar can be installed at the back making a nice perfect computer desk. I generally want my desk a couple of inches lower than the standard height, and this solves the problem without serious cost.

...I ordered Patchwork for myself last weekend. Birthday gift.
... ... Last night, I ordered Codenames Duet XXL and Muse: Awakenings. I might keep the latter, but I got the former to leave here when I go.
Apparently I'm now self soothing with testing boardgames... Did I somehow get Enough Yarn ?!?
no
hah
But ADHD, bebeh, my hobbies go in cycles!
Half is that I'm trying to get a kid past her dad saddling her with "sore loser."
Last year, there was a run of Uno over weeks when she didn't win a single round and handled it quietly, but any insult her main caretaker had said is internalized.
She had a good time with Calico until we tallied points -- I had more cats and still only nine points ahead! Which somehow sounded like taunting.
From my well-sourced but nonetheless pop psychology readings: y'all, narcissism is a mold -- its creep is way deeper and farther than it looks; don't ignore it!
Anyway, so, trying to introduce more less-directly competitive or even coop stuff to encourage gracious losing/winning. She liked Codenames Pictures, and Duet should be a bit faster while still letting her give clues.

The look of utter consternation on @rhylith 's face when given a particular prompt in Muse at PAX South a few years back is one of my favorite board gaming memories. I'd picked it up on a whim just because it reminded me a bit of other games that I like, and it was a very pleasant surprise how much fun it can be with a good group.

My memory is hazier than I'd like, but I think the team I was on had stuck you with a prompt where you had to get your team to pick the right picture by humming. And our brilliant plan sure looked like it was working when we saw the look on your face, until you started humming the Super Mario Brothers underwater level music and everyone realized there was only one picture that fit that at all.

tl;dr just about anything is in fact a tire and you don't even have to try very hard...

I don't think people are a torus. The nose screws it all up.
Brian Greene's book The Elegant Universe talks about this and it's much more elegantly explained than I can possibly manage as a non-scientist and someone who generally has to really grapple with math and physics but my understanding is that a torus does not have to only have one hole, although the traditional topological definition is for one with one hole.

So, I bought an expensive Italian charcoal barbecue. I could probably got a similar model for half the price from some no-name brand, but this one is really high quality. The metal is really thick and the grills are cast iron, the whole thing weighs 35kg. I'm super happy, it's been great so far, and I expect this one to last many years (unlike my old one, thin metal rusted through after 3 years or so and then one of the legs fell off).
But arguably I do not need a lot more Stuff in my house (it is at a Comfortable Stuff Level right now with a peripheral problem of Where To Put This Goddamn Sports Equipment)

it's the same around DC, except instead of cold and rainy our summers are stupid hot with 150% humidity. We get about one week each of spring and autumn.
In England you are only allowed to enjoy yourself outside twice a year.
This is correct

I heard once someone found a fifty pound note outside at like four in the afternoon and they didn’t want to pick it up in case it counted as one of their good days outside.
Since I started taking my indoor cat out daily to get him some stimulation, he wants to be outside ALL THE TIME, and it can be frustrating to work from home with a cat who can yell for hours at a time and can't be kept off a desk.
So this was the solution.

Nah, I'm looking for an L-shaped or corner desk. One inner perimeter for computer stuff, one for building miniatures.

anything can be a tire if you try hard enough
Can Betelgeuse be a tire?

tires are a torus
people are a torus
shoes with laces are a torus
tea kettles are a torus
tl;dr just about anything is in fact a tire and you don't even have to try very hard...

That's so nice it's making me want to buy one even though we've probably already had the UK's yearly allowance of outdoor cooking days for 2021.
There is a yearly limit to outdoor cooking in the UK?
We've had a really hot, rain free bank holiday weekend, which means that the rest of the year will be cold, grey, wet etc
