So I already posted here about my holidays https://lemmy.world/post/23417267

I was wondering what online platform you can recommend where I can connect more directly with Canadians, ask questions, look for recommendations, accomodation,... I'm still torn between buying and renting a car. And there's the whole idea of seeing BC area and Ontario. Any tips concerning inland flights? Or greyhounds? Rail? Do you think that there might be people who want their car to be taken from one Vancouver to Toronto and would rent it to me? Should I post that on Craigslist?

You see I have many questions. (Yes, I'm autistic) It's gonna be a once-in-a-lifetime journey, so I want to be prepared.

Hi Canadians, I am giving up on web search and rely again on actual people.

I want to go to Canada in Summer for about 5-6 weeks. I already asked a travel agency for a quote for renting a RV, but thats STUPID expensive. I used to go couchsurfing. the website is no more (i think), i am registered on BeWelcome now but haven't looked into it.

What's the best ways for someone with little money to still travel most of the country? renting a car there? buying one and selling it later? RVs? couchsurfing (and how)? hostels? camping?

I am grateful for all hints and tipps and connections :)

edit after some comments: I'm from Germany. My budget is not high. I think I can maybe push it to 4000$, but that'd be pretty high for me.

Hallo. Ich hoffe dass es erwünscht ist, hier einfach mal eine lockere Unterhaltung anzuzetteln

Ich merke immer wieder dass die Traditionen und Gewohnheiten sehr unterschiedlich sein können. Zu dieser Jahreszeit sind es bei mir die Lieder, die sich stark unterscheiden. Lieder, die ich schon viele Jahre singe, die andere Menschen noch nie gehört haben und umgekehrt.

Also mal die Frage: welche Lieder singt ihr in der Winter- und Weihnachtszeit?

Meine Lieblingslieder:

• Maria durch ein Dornwald ging
• Es ist ein Ros entsprungen
• Es kommt ein Schiff geladen
• Oh come oh come Emmanuel
• Macht hoch die Tür
• Vom Himmel hoch da komm ich her
• Señora Donna Maria

Ich bin gerade ziemlich verzweifelt von meiner Ärztin wieder gekommen. Kinecteen ist seit über einem Jahr nicht lieferbar. Ich habe bisher von der Apotheke etwas anderes bekommen. Aber das ist jetzt auch nicht mehr lieferbar. Die Apotheke hat mir zwei weitere Medikamente aufgeschrieben die analog sind, aber die EINE Tablette mehr haben als mein Rezept. Also zurück zur Ärztin um ein Rezept für 30 statt 29 Tabletten zu bekommen. Das gibt es nicht. Das darf sie mir auch nicht ausstellen. Es gibt die Medikamente also. Sie sind identisch mit denen die ich brauche. Aber die sind nicht für Erwachsene zugelassen. Nur für Kinder. Warum auch immer (Kapitalismus im Gesundheitswesen ist immer eine gute Idee /s) Das trifft mich gerade sehr. Sie hat mir wieder Medikinet aufgeschrieben. Das habe ich aber nicht gut vertragen und es tut nicht das was ich brauche.

Hat irgendwer irgendeinen Trost für mich? Ich habe jetzt Emails an zwei Firmen geschrieben mit der Frage warum die Medikamente nicht zugelassen sind. Davon erwarte ich mir genau gar nichts.

Habt ihr Aktionen gesehen? Plant ihr selbst welche?

okay. here's a few things that trip me up: basically every exit lol, but specifically north-east. this corner is super weird. the road north (1 way) is not really connected to the roundabout, there is like a seperate road/lane that runs "past" the roundabout from east to west. but the roundabout has an exit to that road. and that road splits up into a lane onto the roundabout and one that runs past it.

i'm also not 100% on what to do about the slip lanes that still kinda brush the roundabout. i'm trying with curbless roads, but they're super finnicky

here's one more image with the streetview lanes

Hey there. I am incredibly sad, downright depressed and mentally exhausted.

I wanted to celebrate my birthday yesterday for the first time (maybe ever?) with lots of nice people. I invited about 30-50 people. Some, I invited personally, some just casually through groups. Lots of those people I thought of as somehow close and friendly.

I exhausted myself in the effort of preparing the party, I rented a room, I prepared photos, activities, food, music, and just put a lot of mental energy into the planning. I have been planning it for about 2 months, invited those who were most important to me back then even.

5 people showed up.

I am devastated. I was always so anxious about my birthday and never celebrated it. I think I removed myself from groups a lot in my life. And only the last two years, I've started to understand my diagnosis and how to communicate with people. This throws all my anxiety and pain back into my body and brain.

I don't know how to deal with it. Especially I don't know how to interact with the people that were important to me and who didn't show (or those who didn't even cancel). My past behaviour was burning down all the bridges. I don't think I should do that. But I also don't know how to pretend like it doesn't hurt....

Any advice about rejection anxiety and ... well, real rejection?

Thank you.

So, i am getting back into a cities project after being out of the game for a while. I'm using https://terraining.ateliernonta.com/ to generate heightmap and overlay image. it also exports OSM data (I also tried to do it manually with the same result)

now what happens is this. i think this has always happened. it seems like the "scale" is off. the roads are "correct" but slightly shifted in all directions. they're not all just slightly north like the picture. at one point it exactly overlaps and the rest is too far south. like the scale is wrong. like it's too small or something. but the OSM scale is 1. did i do something wrong?

(i looked through the github but couldn't find anything. also no similar things on the workshop comments right away)

I don't really know where to start. It's not hurting me, but I'm confused. I don't recall doing anything different o not sure where to start looking for issues.

It boots up, shows me my drives and says "settings were reset to default values" If I go into bios, nothing looks off to me. Windows doesn't show an issue.

I'm running Win10. I can give you all the info you want. Just need a hint as to where to start looking. Thanks

Also ich wollte gerne mal andere deutsche User-Erfahrungen zur App Feeld hören. Ich benutze die App sehr spärlich, weil ich noch NIE ein "erfolgreiches" Match hatte. Generell hatte ich bisher vielleicht 2-3 überhaupt. Mir werden so viele Profile angespült aus Dänemark, Niederlande, oder vom anderen Ende Deutschlands, wenn die Menschen es überhaupt im Profil angeben, und dennoch sagt das Profil "5km entfernt" oder so.

Ich wollte mal wissen, ob diese App für euch funktioniert. Info: ich wohne in Hamburg (also Großstadt, da sollten es schon Profile geben...)
