| I don't feel comfortable where I'm living since my parents died. Trying to maintain the place is a lot of work. It's an older building. It keeps having water leaks. I keep ending up having to spend a fortune in remediation and dealing with water damages. There's really no support or community there ... |

| I was advised by my doctor to go gluten free for medical reasons. I make all my foods from scratch and have several allergies and intolerances. So, cutting out wheat and barley is difficult. I've tried several recipes that use substitutes for wheat in common foods like breads, cookies, pies, etc. Ho... |

| Due to sensory sensitivity, migraines and other issues, I'm already a fussy eater. Was recently diagnosed with celiac, so now I have to cut out gluten ingredients from my already limited diet. Are there any forums for sharing recipes or ideas for what to eat? Most of the people I talk to love food. ... |

| I programmed in C/C++ for years, but it's been difficult to get a job in for the last decade. It's been sidelined to jobs like embedded systems or IOT and isn't used much for other things anymore. Languages like Rust and C# are typically replacing it in some areas. Even though some AI libraries are ... |

Internet Archive (online library) has some of her books, so you can check them out from there. You can also check OER (Open Education Resources). Merlot and Oasis are two OER... |

The one I like to use most is to write the music in ABC notation (with a standard text editor). I can convert it to midi using abc2midi. I can ... |
