I also woodwork. Hand tools in the japanese style (im part Japanese). Are you a powertool user, hybrid or also hand tool?
Mostly power tools, but I'm decent with a few hand tools when necessary. Recently I mortised some door hinges with a chisel. But for the vast majority of my projects, renovating our house over 35 years, I wouldn't have had the patience without power tools - I can barely hit a nail with a real hammer anymore lol. What kinds of projects do you do?
Tool making, and eventually furniture. Recently built a very large toolbox, chisel tray, lay out tools, marking gauges, couple plane bodies, saw vice, planing board (atedai) and saw horses.

I am a spring of knowledge about all of the domestic Real Housewives franchises (though I did just pick up Dubai recently).
I know all the lore behind all their relationships/alliances/enemies and off season shenanigans.
Its legitimately stupid how much I can talk about rich women who flaunt their wealth and then do trashy shit like throw wine in one another's faces or flip tables (or scam the elderly out of their retirement funds to fund their own lifestyle).

Well thank you very much Emerald for the mapping and the great question.
For me, it's something much more modest:
- Amiga, or retro-computing in general. Not just for gaming. There's something deeply inspiring about browsing the web or creating spreadsheets with entirely different hardware and software. Hoping to get an Alpha CPU and/ or an Atari soon.
- Dreaming of a better world.

Kind of similar but obscure operating systems in general are things I'm a big fan of like TempleOS, HaikuOS, AROS, and MorphOS. OSs that are more than odd Linux distros.
Something about the ARM architecture also seems really neat to me.
Do you have any neat videos or YouTubers that cover Amiga content?
Does raising and training ducks count? I'm really good at it. I have care down to a science and I've done quite a bit medically because there aren't any vets that treat ducks around me. I've rehabilitated crazy injuries, performed minor surgery, treated severe malnutrition and vitamin deficiencies.
I have trained all of my birds to listen to basic commands and they know their names and respond to them.
I would name a mallard "M'Lord" just to mess with it.
Next mallard I get will be named that. Even if it's a girl. Gotta do it for the meme
What got you into that? How long have you been doing it? What kind of ducks?
I got into chickens when my sister started 4H, and when our chickens died suddenly, my grandma got us 3 ducklings as a gift without consulting anyone. They imprinted on me immediately and I was like, "I guess this is my new obsession because I'm a mother now."
That was 8 years ago. I started off with a Muscovy male, a muscovy female, and a mallard female. We rescued a second Muscovy female a couple years in. I moved to my own place in 2022 and brought the remaining birds with me, which were the Muscovy male and mallard female.
I ordered some more ducklings and rescued a couple birds over the course of 2022 and 2023. Right now I have:
2 female muscovies: Mama Duck and Lady. Mama Duck fights me over eggs, so I have to pull a Skyrim move and put a bucket on her head so I can take her eggs without her attacking me. Lady is very sweet and shows me her eggs and acts all happy when I compliment her best and thank her for the eggs.
A tiny male mallard and his mate who is a female mallard that looks like a male but has laid eggs. Little guy is Sonic (because he runs SO FAST) and his mate is Amy. Amy went through duck menopause about 6 months after I got her, so that's why she looks like a male in terms of feathers. Without her ovaries producing female hormones, her feathers defaulted back to mostly male. She and Sonic were rescued from a local family who couldn't care for them anymore.
A male Pekin that doesn't have male traits but I've seen his dick a few times. His name is Salt. He is a lil chonky.
A male khaki Campbell named Pepper. He was purchased with Salt as a baby. They were on sale for 25% off and were 100000% an impulse buy. They're besties and don't leave each other's sides.
A female khaki Campbell named Capri-Sun who yells a lot
A female Pekin named Judy. She's named after judge Judy because she's always squinting at me in a judgmental way and interrupts me with sassy quacks any time I talk to her. She's done this since she was literally only a day old. She has a distinct quack that has a squeak to it.
A female golden layer named Cayenne who is hella chill.
A female Cayuga named Fashionista who is slowly turning from black to white with each molt of her feathers (that's normal)

I'm not good at it, but I like geocaching.
I just liked the trading of items.
Low level coding and free open source software for me mostly.
I've met some people who like to map areas on OpenStreetMap and I'd be interested in trying it myself but like with contributing to anything I'm new to I'm scared of doing something wrong. I understand that with OpenStreetMap there's a sort of discussion of changes like on Wikipedia?
When you started what resources helped you, did a friend show you? Is there a tutorial you recommend for starting off? (If you explained some of this somewhere else please feel free to link to it or tell me, I haven't read through all the comments here yet.)
I simply started mapping single family homes. It's really hard to map those wrong, as its just an outline with building=house. This is the video that got me started. Have fun and don't forget to square your corners.
Not OP but...
The wiki is a vast resource on every little detail that's being mapped. I find it a bit difficult to browse sometimes, easier to get to some pages via DDG, but this may just be me. The Beginner's guide page I imagine might be a decent starting point.
Though I can't say I myself started there... IMO the easiest way is to just get StreetComplete from F-Droid (or Google Play...), and wing it. That app is extremely user friendly, and literally just asks you a simple question about something in front of you, and as such allows you to fill in or verify some of the details on the map. It's capable of a lot, but not quite everything, such as adding in new "ways" (roads, structures, anything not a single node).
When you're not sure about something it's asking, that's when "winging it" should be replaced by "wikiing it". Or looking it up any other way, since there are now decades of confused people asking questions online for your benefit!
Vespucci is the mobile app people tend to use for heavy duty editing, or just to do the stuff SC can't. This one has a much scarier UI. It takes some getting used to and figuring out, but really isn't so bad once you know how the app and OSM itself works. You can download it early on, but maybe just to appreciate how easy SC is, at first!
To answer your question about discussions: each "changeset" (SC manages these for you automatically, groups similar quests into the same changeset) can be commented on by any user if they noticed some issue in your edits, or want to ask for clarification. You can go to openstreetmap.org and click "History" up top to see recent changesets that affected the area within your screen. You'll see that most won't have a single comment, but if you're logged in, you can see the option to start a discussion on any of them.
I'm so shit at low level programming. Don't understand a lick of it
