Technically that would be Nearly Missed. Near Miss is the term for a miss that had an object that was very near to you. English is weird like that.

Yep my uncle’s work van in the UK was as small as my Honda Fit. Just two barebones front seats and an empty cargo space.

Long before that though, back when SUVs became popular because they were trucks and didn’t have to obey sedan fuel economy. This was back in the late 90s

No uniform, just random street clothes. I’m glad I don’t live in the USA. The assumption here is they are criminals and threatening my life

My bad, the second delivery became a cleanup delivery to deliver what they forgot or didn’t get in in the morning.

True actual multi delivery stopped in the 50s.
The UK policy is six days a week and as expedient as possible. I’m sure that is changing slowly

Well that’s the thing, in some places snail mail is fast. UK for instance has places with delivery twice a day, meaning you can “courier” items across a city same day. The post offices in Canada turned to crap as soon as they started hacking the service down.

Our neighbourhood changed to community mailbox, the CP truck would pass my house and drop a notice “sorry we missed you” into the community mailbox because the package wouldn’t fit in the mailbox. And then leave and pass my house again. Not really a mail delivery service more of a notification for pickup service.

UK enters the chat with mail delivery 2x a day

Seriously dude, head to a green space near you (if they exist). They provide the environment our brains expect from past evolution.

Take a tip from the Welsh, “dod yn ôl at fy nghoed” literally translates as, “to return to my trees”, and means, “to return to a balanced state of mind”.

US style biscuit. Like a Scone sort of.

Google search has become so shit that chatgpt sometimes actually has better info…except when it doesn’t. Stract.com is the goto for old school searching

My dad asked for a biscuit with butter on it, both sides; the girl at the counter spread the butter all over the outside of an uncut biscuit, both sides

Good thing chatgpt burned through a logs worth of CO2 for nonsense

I don’t fully trust chatgpt, but here are steps it suggested.

Set Community to Restricted or Private During or after creation:

Go to your community page.

Click “Community Settings” (gear icon if you’re a mod).

Under “Community Type”, choose:

Restricted – Only mods can post; anyone can view.

Private – Only approved users can post/comment; content may be hidden from outsiders depending on server config.

🔒 Private is best for a fully closed community.

3. Control Who Joins Still in settings:

Enable “Require mod approval to join”.

You can also toggle:

“Allow users to follow”: turn off if you don’t want lurkers.

“Enable posting for approved users only”.

4. Manually Approve Members To approve users:

Users request to join your community.

As a mod, go to the mod queue and approve or reject requests.

The title is misleading.

You may want to consider closing the group and making it by approval only. I had commented before not realizing women only posts may have also meant no comments also. Hard to prove who is who online though.

I was being sensitive, we had some employees struggle mentally with being alone and without interaction. Some people did not have partners at home, so work was their contact with the world. With that gone, issues arose.

But I get your point, I prefer work from home because I get twice as much done without the daily interruptions of "Hello, how are you, wanna see pictures of my jetski, did you watch the game? (Me: game?, I don’t even know what game they mean)

We have work from home, i have gone to the office twice this year. But it is true it didn’t work for everyone. Some left because of isolation factor, some fired because without anyone watching they just could not self motivate. In some case in-office meetings are way more productive, and you get those moments when a coworker overhears your convo and chimes in with something relevent that you would never have connection on in WFH

Yeah, no point supporting something that has become obsolete. Foss community often puts effort in as passion, but a business will not want technical debt and move on to the next hardware support

I don’t suffer the trots from spicy food. If I make a Thai Curry I will put 5 Thai chillies in it. Could just be what my body is used to, but could also be people who struggle might be combo of not used to spice in their system and not eating a lot of veg or iber then have an Indian lentil meal or something?

For what you are doing SketchUp might be the best tool. Its easy to work with and good with architectural stuff.
