What is your setup for sticker making? I’ve been making some stickers for projects of mine and want to make some more. Currently just use my work’s printer to print onto sticker paper I’ve bought then cut out with the guillotine or scissors if it’s not straight edged. As much as I enjoy stealing work resources for personal use I wonder about easier options that might be out there.

I would say just prod around on it, as it's a new server working out it's direction, will work best if people are clicking things and seeing what sticks, it can't really be broken I'd say.
And everyone will at one point click on a Voice Channel not realising it will immediately join them into and empty voice chat.

East to West bridges was one of the biggest mistakes I've ever made in my life. Everyone who was doing it that way dropped out around Wandsworth or something when we met the group going the other direction where they all turned around and went back east so I was the only one to continue on. Kew sucks when you're on your own their in the middle of the night.

LFGSS and Microcosm shutting down 16th March 2025 (the day before the Online Safety Act is enforced)
Absolutely gutting. This place unlocked so much of what I love and appreciate about London and all of the work you've put in @Velocio as well as the content, rides and drinks from all of the other people here have given me unmeasurable joy.

The discord I’m in for a space western themed ttrpg also have people recommending Killjoys and Starhunter frequently but I’ve not got round to watching them yet.

There’s Cowboy Bepop too. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cowboy_Bebop
I love Firefly and I’ve just started reading the recentish books which is nice new having stories in the universe.

Might have already been mentioned but I read it as being they were both on separate holidays with their respective parents, they met out there and started a relationship. The 17 year old and her family then came back to the UK and her mam saw texts and stuff so then reported it whilst the 18 year old and his family were still out there which is where things are at now.

Oh also, the fixed wheel secretary takes it on word for points with the DIY rides. Think the abridged wording he said to me when I was asking if I need to run any additional proof was 'it's a niche section of a niche part of a niche activity so he's happy to trust people and liars generally find themselves getting caught out eventually'.

Yep as others say DIY is super easy. It was how I did most of my Fixed RRTY as it was during heavier covid times where events were harder to find. 10 out of the 12 months in the end I think.
For most of them I did try to make it a new route for myself as riding the same one felt like it would have been a bit boring for me and I'd have probably given up if I knew what was coming that month for the ride. Think I did one route 3 times and the others were all new.
I quite enjoyed the route planning as I had to be quite creative due to covid restrictions, one was a Christmas Eve London Boroughs ride when the tiers were announced which then inspired me to see if it was possible to do an Audax without leaving Zone 3, it was and I wouldn't recommend it.
Seconding Hollow_Legs on trying to get it done as early into the month as possible as well, sucks when it ends up on the last weekend and the weather starts to look shit.
Also I'd say start as soon as you can, I started mine in an October which meant all the cold and dark ones were done and I got to enjoy the warmer longer day rides at the back end of the process which was much less grim and kept me going when it started to get a bit tiring. -

Was also at Hope of the States yesterday. Thought they were great.
There did seem to be some pricks dotted about in the crowd. Feels like a bit of a theme that I’ve had a few times seeing bands that broke up in the mid-2000s doing a reunion. The 45 year olds can’t be trusted to re-live their youth I say.
The venue, Metronome, seemed a bit weird too. Think I was on the opposite side to you and even though it was listed as a sell out it felt pretty empty where I was stood. Possibly the weather stopping people getting through?

I've looked into crap smart phones a few times now and never ended up switching but instead have got an app blocker installed to just limit a bunch of apps and websites. Some of them I'll look at once a day when brushing my teeth, it locks out after 10 minutes but I've found I just close the app before that point now myself as I'm not as attached. Other things it's got to a point where I've not even been on once and should just delete my profile but can't be bothered to even log in to do it. I did the greyscale thing on my iPhone for a bit but found it didn't really do anything.
Unfortunately for me I have made the mistake of getting used to the need for a lot of stuff on my phone as Oliver says above. Pretty much every social outlet I have will be organised through WhatsApp now, meeting for drinks, plans for watching the football, my DnD group, my band for practices and sharing recordings and stuff so I feel pretty stuck with needing that. Then there's gig tickets often being through apps like Dice and stuff now as well and then listening to music and podcasts and that as well. Banking is also one that I find useful to have when needed and then there's authenticator stuff and desk booking for work.
I've got an idea in my head of stuff that I'd want and stuff that I'd easily just cut out, if the right phone offered it, so I should probably just uninstall all the apps that phone would cut out and I'd be fine.
You all need look no further. I’ve found the perfect pizza recipe. I can send through the scone base recipe from page 6 if people would like.
