Hi peeps, My big trip through Canada is only three weeks away now and I'm starting to feel nervous 😬 So I thought I'd post here to ask y'all a few things, mainly about socialising and meeting folks. - specifics about my travels at the bottom

1.) I'm still looking for couch surfing hosts in Vancouver and Toronto. People on beWelcome aren't really answering. Is there some advice? Or advice on cheap accommodation for 1-3 nights in those towns? Or maybe even some of y'all who'd like to hosts me :)

2.) what are some good ways to meet people on the road? Are there social media apps that are favoured in Canada? Specific places for travellers? (YMCA, hostels, clubs...?)

3.) any other things you'd like to tell me? XD

My trip is: arriving in Vancouver on the 25th of Juli, renting a car on the next day. Plans to travel the west for about 3 weeks. Domestic flight to Toronto on the 16th of August, rental car in Toronto on the 17th, driving around Ontario and the east for two weeks. Departure from Toronto on the first of September.

This is among the best of the paintings I made. I was trying a wet-on-wet which isn't easy with acrylics, so I used a thin gesso ground to paint on.

I've started doing more watercolour paintings again at work (I work with kids at a school) and I really enjoy it. I think I started enjoying painting a lot more since I stopped trying to paint something specific and started to just see what happened and what I felt like. Today I wanted to experiment with crayons and watercolour. It worked out perfectly: the watercolours didn't run over the crayon lines and thus created this cool "rain" effect. Everything is done in watercolour, I just traced the buildings with a dark blue crayon before applying the runny paint for the rain

Hallo. Ich hoffe dass es erwünscht ist, hier einfach mal eine lockere Unterhaltung anzuzetteln

Ich merke immer wieder dass die Traditionen und Gewohnheiten sehr unterschiedlich sein können. Zu dieser Jahreszeit sind es bei mir die Lieder, die sich stark unterscheiden. Lieder, die ich schon viele Jahre singe, die andere Menschen noch nie gehört haben und umgekehrt.

Also mal die Frage: welche Lieder singt ihr in der Winter- und Weihnachtszeit?

Meine Lieblingslieder:

• Maria durch ein Dornwald ging
• Es ist ein Ros entsprungen
• Es kommt ein Schiff geladen
• Oh come oh come Emmanuel
• Macht hoch die Tür
• Vom Himmel hoch da komm ich her
• Señora Donna Maria

okay. here's a few things that trip me up: basically every exit lol, but specifically north-east. this corner is super weird. the road north (1 way) is not really connected to the roundabout, there is like a seperate road/lane that runs "past" the roundabout from east to west. but the roundabout has an exit to that road. and that road splits up into a lane onto the roundabout and one that runs past it.

i'm also not 100% on what to do about the slip lanes that still kinda brush the roundabout. i'm trying with curbless roads, but they're super finnicky

here's one more image with the streetview lanes

Hey there. I am incredibly sad, downright depressed and mentally exhausted.

I wanted to celebrate my birthday yesterday for the first time (maybe ever?) with lots of nice people. I invited about 30-50 people. Some, I invited personally, some just casually through groups. Lots of those people I thought of as somehow close and friendly.

I exhausted myself in the effort of preparing the party, I rented a room, I prepared photos, activities, food, music, and just put a lot of mental energy into the planning. I have been planning it for about 2 months, invited those who were most important to me back then even.

5 people showed up.

I am devastated. I was always so anxious about my birthday and never celebrated it. I think I removed myself from groups a lot in my life. And only the last two years, I've started to understand my diagnosis and how to communicate with people. This throws all my anxiety and pain back into my body and brain.

I don't know how to deal with it. Especially I don't know how to interact with the people that were important to me and who didn't show (or those who didn't even cancel). My past behaviour was burning down all the bridges. I don't think I should do that. But I also don't know how to pretend like it doesn't hurt....

Any advice about rejection anxiety and ... well, real rejection?

Thank you.

So, i am getting back into a cities project after being out of the game for a while. I'm using https://terraining.ateliernonta.com/ to generate heightmap and overlay image. it also exports OSM data (I also tried to do it manually with the same result)

now what happens is this. i think this has always happened. it seems like the "scale" is off. the roads are "correct" but slightly shifted in all directions. they're not all just slightly north like the picture. at one point it exactly overlaps and the rest is too far south. like the scale is wrong. like it's too small or something. but the OSM scale is 1. did i do something wrong?

(i looked through the github but couldn't find anything. also no similar things on the workshop comments right away)

I don't really know where to start. It's not hurting me, but I'm confused. I don't recall doing anything different o not sure where to start looking for issues.

It boots up, shows me my drives and says "settings were reset to default values" If I go into bios, nothing looks off to me. Windows doesn't show an issue.

I'm running Win10. I can give you all the info you want. Just need a hint as to where to start looking. Thanks

Hi y'all, i used to be so prolific at the whole pc building thing. but now i'm out of the game with age and not buying stuff in a while. so here's my question:

my PC is fine and i upgraded parts of it during the years. but it may be time for a new motherboard, since mine only supports 32gb of RAM which isnt enough anymore.

what do I need to do to replace my motherboard? I guess, i'd have to re-install everything, right? Isn't windows and all the software kinda bound to my motherboard?

since i'm fine with my 2060Super, i guess getting a new PC is not worth it, my case and hard drives are fine. i will need new RAM and SSDs. So what should I look for in a motherboard?

thanks for reading this ramble
