What about the public service? I don't know about where you live, but in my country the public service doesn't care what degree you have, just that you have one. Look into the graduate programs of your local/state/federal governments.

There's also one called "Personal blocklist" which is very handy.

And last just as long.

The engineering department at my uni had a tensile strength testing machine which says "Made in the GDR" on it, a country that hasn't existed for 40+ years.

Have you tried SwiftKey? I find it to be a waaaay better keyboard than the stock one, and it does support having a number row.

In general it is often true that a motor and a generator are two sides of the same coin.

If you put a current through a wire you can make a magnet move which can be used to spin a motor. And symmetrically, if you spin a wire and make its magnet move near a wire you can induce a current in the wire.

Depends on the exact wiring and stuff but yeah sometimes you can damage a motorised device by manually spinning the thing without turning it on.

I got my maternal grandma's ancient le creuset enamel pots when she died. They're in perfect condition and we use them all the time.

She loved to cook, my mum hates to cook, and as luck would have it I married a woman who loves to cook. So the pots are in good hands 🥰

Lmao my niece and nephew are going to enjoy inheriting my brother's hundreds upon hundreds of D&D minis.

At least we use (some of) them to play with though, they're not (only) for the display cabinet.

Well said. I'm married to a clinical psychologist and she's the most emotionally intelligent person I know. It's the best. She's the best.
