Yep, super important factor to think about for romantic relationships. E.g. in a new relationship, trying to figure out "are these feelings *just* limerance, or something deeper?" can be really informative around long term compatability.

Big breath out before you submerge your upper body. You have a natural gasp reflex in cold water, so it feels more comfortable if you have emptied your lungs, then you can take a breath in as you submerge.

This was mine for 2024.

A swimming hole at a hut I camped at on an overnight forest hike in SW Australia. Cold, slowly flowing, dark tea coloured water.

What's BMC in this context?

Thanks for the input on the regional spelling stuff. It's not something I'd really thought about before. I'm not personally put off by US English, even though it's not what I use personally.

I think we say "4,000+" and "almost 5,000" which isn't contradictory, but we should tidy that up, and it's a good prompt to do a check for consistency; I appreciate the pickup. This is our number of newsletter subscribers, not customers.

Asking questions is just one of the ways I learn the things I need to. I put the question out here because my Nostr connections are in a broad range of locations (not the only place I asked the question though).

I agree, of course 😂

But it's not a hill I'm willing to die on if it means missing out on sales.

Question for the Nostr brains trust:

With my new business (impactsociety.co) our first products are digital downloads (tools and templates for managers in PDF format etc). Most of our sales have been in the US (we're based in Australia).

We recently had feedback from a US customer that they found the AUS/UK spelling in our content a bit off-putting (e.g. organisation vs orginization).

This guy comes across as intelligent, thoughtful and overall complimentary of our work. So I was a bit surprised at the feedback. Personally I don't have any issues with US English spelling when I come across it.

Is this a thing that companies outside the US have to think about? It wouldn't be that hard to create regionalised versions of our content and website etc. But equally I'd prefer not to waste time on it if it's an isolated issue.

I'm sorry mate.

My dad died last year.

I won't pretend to know how it's been for you, because losing someone close is different for everyone.

But perhaps I can relate a bit.

A friend wrote these simple words to me at the time: "So sad for everyone as they come to understand just what has happened."

I think about those words often. They efficiently capture something profound about losing my dad —something I didn’t (couldn't?) comprehend until it happened to me.

Losing a parent can be a seismic event. But one which takes time to fully comprehend.

Be gentle on yourself, it takes time.

Why?

Enjoyed these. The cyclist and the reflective building are my faves.

Have you found any good resources on these topics?

And what's your tldr on them?

These are so good. Please keep posting more.

As someone just getting into photography more as a hobby, I'd love to hear more about your approach: always curious about equipment/technical stuff, but more interested in anything you want to share on your creative process/intent.

This doesn't really answer your question, but to simplify your wardrobe so you can shop less - look into capsule wardrobes. Have less things, that fit well, and all go together.

For dudes, check out the Basic Bastard. Simple, basic, helps you dress better. I think I've seen a version of the Basic Bastard for women.
