Niche forums. Federated.
Does that actually exist? I know there are reddit type clones, but I'm yet to see anything that allows me to setup a niche server and only that.

I enjoy my 1:1s with my manager. It's pretty relaxed, open ended conversation. Recently she asked us all to just do a summary in OneNote of what we did for the week, so that kind of gives us things to talk about. Typically we talk about personal life, family things for about half of the meeting and work the other half.

This announcement is more like 'the office will now be available to you' rather than a requirement that anyone besides datacenter workers be in-office
Step 1....I'm assuming this is what's happening with my company too.
We announced April offices are back open.
Step 2. will be hybrid for supervisors/managers
Then returning everyone.
My guess is all back to normal by October.

A very important topic, but this article is almost nothing!
Regardless, this is hugely important. My wife and I have two little kids (under 5) and we really, really want them to be independent young people when they're a little older. I want them to be able to hop on their bikes and ride to the shop, school, the train/metro/bus, etc. and most of all, I want them to survive. Drivers are the leading cause of dead kids, and deaths among vulnerable road users (pedestrians, cyclists, etc.) have risen dramatically in the US in the last couple years.
There are approximately 0 places in the US meeting this bar. https://culdesac.com/ near Phoenix is interesting but 1) very small and 2) in Phoenix, which will struggle with summer survivability by the time my kids are middle ages.
American Fietser - https://twitter.com/AmericanFietser - has been beating the drum for Carmel, Indiana, which apparently has made great strides in their downtown - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94-kxjgOtdU&feature=youtu.be
I grew up in suburban Sacramento and it was basically a prison. I _did_ ride my bike when I was 14 and older, dozens of miles in some cases, but in retrospect it's shocking I lived. I was nearly killed in multiple instances.
I chatted briefly with Jason Slaughter of NotJustBikes fame (maybe the best urbanist channel on youtube) and he was very reassuring about moving to Amsterdam with kids older than my own. I just got naturalised as an EU citizen and Utrecht in particular is on the short list. But I hope US cities can improve.
Carmel is nice, but man, they have some of the worst drivers ever.
I like my job, my manager and the people I work with. I'm paid well and have good benefits. 2 years in and don't have any complaint
The town next to me in Indiana has giant oversized parking lots. I swear the Target parking lot is 3 times as large as the Target itself.

I would do anything for my dogs, doesn't matter what it costs, I love both of them so much and can't imagine not having them in our family. They are family.

The big issue of sports streaming still remains. Sites popup every once in a while that have apps, etc (HeHeStreams, BallStreams) but then get taken down. It's hard to find a good sports streaming site that does the following:
1. Has TV apps 2. No ads 3. Reliable
I've been doing the Kodi route, but it's such a PIA with streams not working consistently.
I have two niche blogs( civilwhiz.com and mes100.com). Those bot traffics increase my visitor count in Google analytics by more than 100%. It's super annoying when the analytics are distorted by bots traffic.
