[Greengoop]

+ the new PS5 update is AWESOME

[Magelin]

+ Went swimming all day! (exactly why i haven’t been so active lately)
+ Ate some pizza!
+ Yay, Christmas ranks!
- I got a little bruised
- I feel very scratchy..

[Greengoop]

- I feel very scratchy..

Scratchy as in the throat?

[Magelin]

Scratchy as in the throat?

Ah, no, the water had chlorine in it and it made me feel all scratchy

[Greengoop]

Oh yeah, that’s the worst part of going to a swimming pool

[DaveRattlehead]

- I had to go to the morgue because a friend's father passed away. To see that he passed away when he was relatively “young” (around 55) is really shocking.

[Fifo]

– I’m sorry to hear that.
+ nice to see I’m not the only one using “curved” quotation marks

I'm sorry to hear that. My condolences to you and your friend.

[Greengoop]

Really sorry to hear that Dave, losing your father is really something to deal with

What’s the difference between normal ones and curved ones?

+ nice to see I’m not the only one using “curved” quotation marks

What’s the difference between normal ones and curved ones?

“Curved” ones are typographically correct compared to "straight" ones on computer keyboards. They’re the ones used in books, etc.

[Greengoop]

So I assume these “ones” are curved ones, then?

[DaveRattlehead]

Exactly
Just a quick tip to use them...
Alt + 0147 = “
Aalt + 0148 = ”

[Fifo]

Here are a few more Alt codes:


Alt-0133: … (ellipsis)
Alt-0139: ‹ (single left angled quotation mark)
Alt-0145: ‘ (opening single quotation mark)
Alt-0146: ’ (closing single quotation mark / apostrophe)
Alt-0149: • (bullet)
Alt-0150: – (en dash)
Alt-0151: — (em dash)
Alt-0153: ™ (trademark)
Alt-0155: › (single right angled quotation mark)
Alt-0169: © (copyright)
Alt-0171: « (double left angled quotation mark)
Alt-0174: ® (registered trademark)
Alt-0181: μ (micro sign)
Alt-0187: » (double right angled quotation mark)

[Greengoop]

Do you know any codes for different writing systems?

[SilverLum]

I've been going through a lot this year. A lot of heartache, mostly, but now something has clicked in my mind. I have decided to start prioritising my passions, and in turn myself. I think in relationships sometimes we can lose ourselves and the sight of who we are. I don't think I have found the right person, so I'm going to stop looking. If one day that person finds me, that's great! But honestly...? I'm just content living on my own with my lovely dog in my flat in England. It's a small life, but a fulfilling one. So!

+ I've been studying languages again
+ Prioritizing art
+ Visiting my family in America for the holidays
+ Got to watch my dad play Rayman 1 for the first time since I was little. He hasn't lost his skill!

- negatives? None (:

[Reese Riverson]

+ The Tesla solar system install issue has finally been resolved with a new Powerwall 3 and Gateway 3 being installed.
+ It's the weekend, a good time for me to get back to working on getting things taken care of around the house.
- Feeling a bit tired today, especially when dealing with the solar installers.

[Hunchman801]

- negatives? None (:

That's the spirit!

- I had to wake up early this Saturday.
+ It's to go up the Eiffel Tower with my oldest friend Gunchman so I'm happy anyway.

[Greengoop]

+ kinda just get to chill out today!
- I’m not really sure what to do though…

Gunchman and Hunchman? You two sound like a good duo. I hope it was a wonderful time!

[Hunchman801]

- The tickets they had were not valid on Saturdays.
+ Nevermind, we bought new ones anyway.
- There was a lot of queue to get to the top floor though.
