How long did it take you to get back up to your old speed? It took me 1-3 mo. after switching. I think it helped that I used to look at the keys and when I converted I learned 100% touch typing.

The wheels in the pic look like they would choke on an acorn, or even something smaller. Not interested in finding out. I think this board is for the track. :)
Do we know how much they missed out on total, all of them added together? It would be cool to have a bar to track how much of the shortfall we as supporters could make up.
7.99/lb for Atlantic Salmon is a good price. I've only seen it go a dollar below that and not in a while.
I noticed meat prices jump at the start of covid. I used to shop at a store that was somewhere between a Whole Foods and a farmers market. They had all the prepackaged processed organic foods that will break the bank, but also cheap veggies that weren't quite nice enough looking for mainstream groceries. They used to have some of the most affordable meat in town.
Now I just go straight to the local butcher (lucky to have one). Sure I pay 2-4 times as much, but it's better meat, it's a local business, and the grocery stores don't get a cut! I just eat a bit less meat.
My partner and I dated for nearly a decade before we decided to get married. It's more important that you two are on the same page than it is for you to measure up to some arbitrary cultural norm. Even after a decade, we still laid some ground rules and made some agreements about HOW we would handle things in a worst case scenario. Prenup/postnup type stuff. People may view this as nonromantic, but I can't think of anything less romantic than arguing about shit after the fact with someone you already broke up with.
Make sure you have your paperwork in order though. If you want your partner to be able to make decisions for you in an emergency or if you want them to inherit something if the worst happens, you should check because you likely have to explicitly set that up.
Most amazing egg thing I've had was an egg white whiskey sour. It was at a bar, but I've successfully recreated it at home.
I took care of a friend's chickens for a week or two once. I was carting off eggs by the bucketful. I would try it if I had the land, and dump the excess eggs on my friends for veggies from their gardens.
Good point. I ate the most eggs when I was in my wannabe gymbro phase because it's cheap and easy protein. No longer.
Oliver Welke is funny. Thanks for sharing.
In the early 2000s, I stopped going to Walmart for several years. Even now, I have been there maybe 5 times in the last decade. I appreciate all the alternative lists because Amazon is harder to replace because we have less alternatives left and they cover such a broad spectrum of products. I'm doing a pretty good job of not buying much of anything though!
The last thing I need when I run out of underwear is a distraction.
You sound like someone who knows how to handle colossal levels of truck traffic.
I can't take credit for the scenery since I downloaded the map, but it's been quite inspirational. This spot seemed perfect for a mining area. The mining industry looks like it flattened out this portion of the hill and is continuing to cut out of the mountainside while the river creates a steep cliff giving a great view of the rocky hillside. It supports 2 bus lines from the two nearest railway stations that bring the workers up the mountainside.
I ended up with a dense mostly pedestrianized, tram-centric core which is just off to the right. It looks great on ground level, but I still have some detailing to do before I share. The low-density neighborhoods out of frame in the north are currently getting some well-deserved detailing. I'm not sure what to put to the left of the station, the area is a bit of a dead end but has an excellent train, tram, and bus connections. I imagine I could fit either a small university or a tech cluster with a park. What do you reserve your best-connected areas for?
I built this little bus stop near the entrance of a lumber co-op using whatever props, decals, plants and stuff I'm subscribed to. I just happened to catch it when both shuttles were there, people where crossing the road, and a truck was turning onto the main road. It feels like one of those moments when the simulation and your imagination are in-sync and you can imagine walking through the game.
Hello City Planner Nerds! It's a work in progress, but I wanted to share a station area I've been working on. It was haphazardly put together before and the new layout has bus stations on both sides, a better ped overpass, and a pedestrian area with a library, a food court, a playground, and some decent landscaping. This is a secondary station for my city and sits at the point where the main line diverges in multiple directions. The industrial area in the background will need to be reworked at some point as it is mostly gridded infill to get my RCI stable.

I went from 40-45wpm on Qwerty to 65-75wpm on Dvorak, but after I stopped practicing, I settled somewhere in the high 50s low 60s. I specifically measured because I wanted to be able to quantify the changes. Speed wasn't my only concern, but it's the biggest change. There's no need to learn an alternative layout, but even people who don't may benefit from a small adjustment like making caps lock a left backspace and learning to touch type. In retrospect, I would consider more of the alternative layouts before jumping to Dvorak, but I don't regret it at all, even at work or with games.
