Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!
Finally submitted everything, presentation included. A screen recording is easier on the nerves but trying to be perfect in what I'm saying was challenging. It's done now though. Now I have to give feedback on my classmates' presentations tomorrow and respond to feedback/questions on mine by Friday, but that's much easier to do.
The end of the tunnel is near...may I end strong (I have been strong so far, by my grades).

I agree with most of this. Haven't used the gestures myself too much...

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!
I think the biggest challenges are going to be creating playlists and the fact that the default is to read from the internal memory. So far, every time I turned it off and back on, I have to manually select the SD card for it to read the music from there.
Initial impressions: sound quality is as expected. I think the DAC on the V20 is miles more to my liking. It's about the same as what I remembered from my Fuze. Like the fact I can go Bluetooth or wired.

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!
So I tried out the Note 9 in stores...I'm still impressed of the Samsung design from a hardware lens. I prefer the S9/Note 9 language than last year's models. The Note 9 feels way better in hand for me than the Note 8. It feels like a slightly bigger V30. Would I buy one? Nope. It's nice though.

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!
Still, I prefer the in hand feel of Andy's phone to the S9 and the G7 to the S9+.
I think if I were into Samsung, I may have gotten a S9 this year. Having used the big little combo of the Mix 2 and Pixel 2, it's easier to handle a S9+/Note 9 and a S9. S9 for me isn't much bigger than the Pixel 2 and if I were feature hungry, it gives more on the hardware side for about the same level of battery life. A S9+ feels only slightly bigger than the Mix 2 and the Note 9 feels like a slightly bigger V30.

I was good at pool when I was in college and played it regularly. I am not good at it these days.

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!
Eh, I've been doing alright, decided to crank out some new tech, got a convention to go to in February in Paris. Now just waiting for apps to be supported with the Surface Dial, and waiting for a Surface Monitor (seriously, the Surface Studio looks amazing, but for the love of Guthix just let me use that gorgeous screen with my custom-build desktop PLEASE). I'm also looking at Wacom Cintiq alternatives atm, trying to find something budget friendly, but not sure what to go for.
Starting classes soon with Specialist Autism Services as well to improve my communication skills, and will also be looking into starting up cooking classes in a month or so, so that way I can become a little bit more independent. Can't wait to see things improve for me. Also taking some free cycling lessons provided by the council to help me be able to cycle to these classes and avoid the outrageous bus fares.
You will be assimilated!
If you like a good tea and don't faint at prices, give Kusmi a try. It's a nice tea in general but you can make it a special event tea.
Haven't seen you in a while. How ya been?

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!
I don't know how to write this but I feel the need to release it (well somewhat anyway, probably not totally) so this is kind of a vent. I will be somewhat vague. So dating has been an adventure. I have no regrets about anything I have done and/or experiences I have had.
Had an interesting but tough conversation with a guy I was getting to know (this process started before the date I just had). Technically this guy was the best match for me out of the actual prospects (the first date I had when I decided to start this doesn't count. It was great but the foundation difference means that wasn't going to happen). He had most of the things that I seek (not physical things) and he seemed hot and cold lately since he asked me about the thing that makes me very different (not by choice).
Anyway, he wanted to be with me but since he wants a family and the mismatch when it comes to the thing, it's really frustrating for him. It's not like he was by himself in that, I was interested in him too. In his words, I was the most attractive girl that he has talked to who he has so much in common with. For how I am, I don't find it as easy to connect with people but with him, we just got each other. We even react the same to things haha.
It hurts to be so close and yet it's just those things holding us. I can't make myself change those things, can't make myself want what I never wanted. Told him that he's normal, I'm just a unicorn with my combination of things. He said that we should be friends (if that's okay with me) because we'll probably be great friends. We'll try it but we'll have to keep feelings in check.

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!
There is always going to be near misses. I'd prefer focusing on finding what fits for me than to expend energy on analysis of near misses any longer than needed. We cannot date everyone we click with; we can love everyone we click with. I've got female friends I get well with and they're better friends than lovers. Not that they would make poor lovers; they were just meant to be friends.
Not everyone is in tune with what they want and need and managing expectations....
One of my dear female friends is going through this. I share some things with her and she listens to what she wants (about 10-25% of it).

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!
So I've got some aches and pains - enough to stay home from work. The plan is to rest said aches and pains by doing laundry. (lol)
I may get my back worked on as well. Depends on how the laundry shakes out.

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!
Haha at listening to 10-25%. That sounds interesting to deal with but you are probably used to her.
This is true, thanks for that viewpoint. It just feels challenging. I'm trying to see the flip side of things that if I can get the near misses, then it means it is possible to get the most important things nailed down.
You're right but I really feel like my things aren't crazy. It's not for everyone (which is fine with me), I think I'm fairly open. Never mind people who have exact height requirements and the kind of job and/or money that they want someone to be making.

I wish you good luck with the laundry and with your back. Hopefully that can be good to go for you.

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!
I mean I have a similar problem. I have Asperger's which means I have communication and social issues. It makes me an extremely hard person to date. That's one of the key things that I need in a relationship, someone who can cope with me. But because of one of my ex's, I've got trust issues for people who say they can cope with it (said she could cope with as dated people with Asperger's in the past, 3 days in she can't cope and we split). It therefore makes it almost impossible for me to be able to truly let my walls down. I'll be open and honest, but my walls will remain firmly up. And that seems to be making it harder as well.

I'm leaning towards getting it worked on and maybe getting a brace too for Saturday as we have to scale 8(!) walls in the obstacle course.
