    Thanks Armada! :cheers Looks good -- much better! The letters are a little too condensed with the current, Tahoma font applied. Perhaps we should go with Verdana? Or you could increase the letter-spacing a little bit (1px) using CSS for the Pirate Whisper Sans theme. I'm also wondering if...

    Pieter, can we please pin this to the top of this forum? It's for you guys, life wisdom (and knowledge/insight to turn to for help in living and finding the balance) when I am gone. Thanks. :) (Love you guys. :oops:)

    Bad People

    Not sure it's people we need to fight so much as bad thinking and imbalanced values in our culture. The enemy here is the bad side of humanity.

    Wish I could say the same... :ninja Australians are vicious murderers on the road, apparently... :sick It's one of those special encounters you've just talked about. :) The trailer makes it look too easy -- too movie-like. It's not a very good representation of the film. The film is a fairy...

    In the glass enclosure -- the new home -- the squirrel is actually freaking out -- it's panicking! I can't believe the owner could not see that! :eek: I'm not fan of domestication -- because it goes against the natural balance -- so I didn't share this video: :love Would love to meet one in...

    Bad People

    Yep, the purpose of this thread is to show what a bad person, or rather bad thinking and behaviour, looks like, so that we can be alerted to it in real life, and not encourage/support/engage such individuals and thinking/behaviour -- or to notice it in ourselves before it becomes a deeply...

    Neurodiversity

    Another good contrast -- and two people in fame who were both friends and rivals in their working field -- are Elvis Presley and Roy Orbison. Elvis was largely neurotypical: While Roy was completely neurodivergent (and I would heavily venture to say autistic): Most people these days know...

    Neurodiversity

    And here's neurotypical genius: ;) Orson Welles is about as neurotypical as it gets -- and yet with a uniquely original, deep wit and creative perspective.

    Neurodiversity

    Jim Henson was autistic. Note the social awkwardness, the raw honesty, the stimming (pressure stimming by pressing behind his ear), the lack of body awareness/co-ordination, and just how genuinely impressed he was with the social/acting skills of the neurotypical host:

    I saw a squirrel once in my life. The encounter was so peculiar that to this day I find it hard to believe it actually happened, and that I wasn't imagining it. I was walking down a row of old trees in a rural area, and as I casually looked up, I suddenly had the sensation of being watched by...

    The only live tree they may choose to 'attack' -- if they are really desperate for a home -- is a dying tree, whose immune system can no longer defend it. So if that olive tree is indeed dying, that's why I said it makes sense they may have made a nest in its roots. To human-made buildings...

    Other Animals and People

    From what I know of them, they're quite shy (a bit like squirrels) -- so having a relatively close encounter is like having a really close, intimate encounter with them. Pretty amazing! :cheers Makes sense. :yes But check the basement for rallies of carpenter ants just to be sure. They like...

    Neurodiversity

    So far as I've learned -- if I can sum it up in a few sentences -- the main difference between autistic and neurotypical thinking is this: Autistic people are prone to seeing the world objectively first: they relate things to one another, evaluate, and compare them -- eventually finding...

    Default font in posts

    While not the most legible, personally, I do find the current font okay -- except in quotes! In quotations it is absolutely terrible. Miniaturised italics are one of the least legible text formatting to read. I'll also throw this in here for (both illustration and) consideration: Source...

    Oh, they are just regular size carpenter ants. Seeing three of them is not a good sign. It means they've made a nest somewhere near or inside the building. In nature they're quite harmless, but in a building they can cause considerable damage as they carve pathways through wood and build mounds...
