    I'm beginning to learn that there's a good range of material on #Hive which contain #hints on #strategy and #tactics. And just reading the tip headings is enough to tell me I'm a pretty #useless #player.

    I need a better script for those "energy advisers' that keep calling the landline.

    Fuck off! Fuck off! Fuck off! isn't how I want to interact - I'd far sooner have some kind of "it's not convenient right now, can you call back in a couple of days" and by then have worked out some series of questions that will get them really involved.
    I'd aim to waste at least 30 minutes of their time...

  3. Negotiations surrounding Germany's contentious pension reform package have taken a turn toward compromise, with Labour Minister and SPD leader Bärbel Bas signal... news.osna.fm/?p=24950 | #news #compromise #germanys #hints #minister

    De speurkoorts is weer op volle sterkte, want 'The Masked Singer' 2025 draait inmiddels op volle toeren. Vrijdagavond verschenen vijf nieuwe kostuums op het podium en hoewel sommige inmiddels zijn ontmaskerd, blijven De Cavia's het grote mysterie van de avond. Hoog tijd om alle hints...

  5. I would say I'm a techy/nerdy geek. Love Star Wars, and Star Trek, pretty much all SciFi really. Huge Discworld fan. Like Lego.

    Fairly run of the mill middle aged white guy stuff i guess.

    Very hard to offend - and I swear a lot more than I do online.

  6. We also have a "family game night" each week, so if you've got a favourite card game that's in budget, that would be great!

    We've got Uno & Uno no mercy. We also have the Cluedo card game, one about growing beans (actually fun!), monopoly card game, and a Star Wars escape card game. Oh, and CAH. Obviously 😂

  7. I do love stationery! I use a fountain pen (with refillable cartridge) as my main writing pen. A previous Santa bought me some sealing wax and a seal, which i still use to this day (my will is sealed with it for instance).

    I have also been gifted some watercolour pencils which I often use in my model painting (they're great for rust effects etc).

    #SecretSantaAoNZ #hints

  8. I don't really do "fun socks" (I really CBF pairing them), and any t-shirts etc need to be 3XL or larger - not (just) because I'm fat, but because I need the length because of my height.

    I don't really "do" hats. And I seldom wear anything for pins/ badges (except i do have a Tino Rangatiratanga pin for my suit lapel).

  9. #SecretSantaAoNZ. #Hints Hi Santa. Most importantly, Have fun! Anything handmade, recycled, repurposed, or second hand is ok. Currently my paperclips are stored in their small cardboard box.If you are in an op-shop & see something beautiful that could hold them, think of me. 1/n

  10. Third sub-thread. Another link back to Twitter days... this time not so easy to navigate.

    A list of 100 (un)interesting things about me....

  11. Far too many! I bake, decorate cakes, paint canvas, build models, paint miniatures, sew, program code, volunteer with the New Zealand Cadet Forces, build Lego, and am learning Te Reo Māori... but they do all tend to be inside hobbies. Again, my @crafty account is a good pointer.

    #SecretSantaAoNZ #hints

  12. For an average cis male, about what you'd expect. I have no piercings, so I usually only wear a toki pounamu, my 4-colour gold puzzle wedding ring, my engagement silver bangle, a cheap AliExpress health/activity ring, and a watch. Oh, and reading glasses, if they count?

    #SecretSantaAoNZ #hints

  13. Hmm... as little as possible 😂 I'm probably a bit of a closet hoarder, so it's not a great thing.

    Saying that, i have lots of Lego. I have a lot of material (I sew), more paints and brushes than you can count (I paint models), and probably too many Raspberry Pis... you can see some of my stuff over on my @crafty account.

    #SecretSantaAoNZ #hints

  14. I've never understood this whole "favourite colour", "favourite number", "favourite food" thing. Even as a kid, I could never understand how anyone could prefer a number over any other numbers... that's not changed as I've grown up.

    So... knock yourself out and go wild 😁

    #SecretSantaAoNZ #hints

  15. No dietary restrictions. I'll eat pretty much anything put in front of me. But I do have an incredibly sweet tooth. And I love "fizzy sour" lollies too.

    For contentious stuff, love feijoa, love peas in Mac'n'cheese, love tinned spaghetti hoops (not a fan of them on pizza), pineapple on pizza is great.

  16. Sub-thread kick off number 1... hints.

    Pets... I'm a cat person, not a dog person. That said, my cat has passed on, so I now steal cuddles with my wife's cat.

    I also live with her two dogs (Bert, mini Schnauzer, and Leuy, a psychotic Lowchen).

    Also have a couple of tropical marine fish.

  18. How To Stop Feeling Anxious And Live A Happy Life – 3 Expert Tips via Barking Up The Wrong Tree [Shared]

    Some days everything seems to be outside your comfort zone. A bit of anxiety is part of the modern world. Worry about that presentation at work, worry about the kids at home, worry about what’s on the news… worry, worry worry.

    Worst-case scenarios ping pong around in the echo chamber of your skull. Your brain is like a close friend who keeps trying to kill you. You can try to think your way out of this but, if you’re an anxious person, well, thinking probably hasn’t worked out all that well for you. You want to repeatedly jab at the Flight Attendant Call Button of Life – help, please.

    Maybe you think McGruff the Crime Dog couldn’t solve this one. But there is a solution…

  19. 100 Tips for a Better Life via LessWrong [Shared]

    The other day I made an advice thread based on Jacobian’s from last year! If you know a source for one of these, shout and I’ll edit it in. 
     
    Possessions
    1. If you want to find out about people’s opinions on a product, google <product> reddit. You’ll get real people arguing, as compared to the SEO’d Google results.
    2. Some banks charge you $20 a month for an account, others charge you 0. If you’re with one of the former, have a good explanation for what those $20 are buying.

  20. I've installed the old #Oxygen style on #bazzite via rpm-ostree:

    rpm-ostree install oxygen-cursor-themes oxygen-sounds plasma-oxygen-qt5 plasma-oxygen-qt6 oxygen-fonts oxygen-icon-theme oxygen-mono-fonts oxygen-sans-fonts plasma-oxygen

    It's way better to use then Breeze for #touchscreens - i also use it on #SteamOS on my #SteamDeck

    I also switched for #konsole, #okular and #gwenview to #Fedora packages. This works much better for remote volumes than the #flatpak versions:

    flatpak remove okular gwenview konsole; rpm-ostree install okular gwenview konsole
