| It occurred to me recently that I really crave the sensation of being hugged or squeezed. I have a 20lb weighted blanket that I absolutely adore, but I've been thinking it'd be nice to have something similar for when I'm out and about. I know that compression tops are a thing, but I don't really kno... |

It looks like I can still edit it. Same with posts I made a few weeks ago. |

| Geology. People ask, "what's so interesting about rocks?" My favorite response is to talk about kimberlite. It's a type of rock that only forms in the Earth's mantle. If it's found in the crust, that means something moved it there from the mantle. This must have been a cataclysmic event wi... |

| Agh, this. I've had a lot of mixed results with group conversations. Sometimes I luck out; it's a small enough group that I can keep track of everyone and get a chance to get a few words in, or there are a lot of people there with shared interests that I can talk with them about, or there are a good... |

| I've definitely had more than my fair share of this. I've gotten to the point where, if I want to say something, I try to come up with a way to make my point in less than 10 words, knowing that I'm not likely to get much more than that before someone talks over me. If that's not possible, I don't bo... |

| We used ZW3D for most of our own CAD work, or occasionally SolidWorks or Catia when working with client-supplied designs in those formats. When you worked with 3D printers, did you get to use any CADD programs or did you do more on the hardware side of it? I'm a CADD student, so that drew my attenti... |

| Hi there everyone! I found out about this board from a friend of mine, and, seeing as I'm almost certainly about to be diagnosed after seeing an autism specialist today, this seems like a good time to join the party. I have been working as a newspaper carrier for the last 10 years, and it's somethin... |
