    Amateur/Ham Radio

    Thank you, this is what caught my interest. I prefer the original basic physical radio sets over the new software defined radio.

    Amateur/Ham Radio

    Hi everybody, I have been thinking of getting into Amateur/Ham Radio for a while now. I'm not really into the social side of the hobby but have a great interest in the technical side. Once you get to certain level you are able to build circuits to transmit/receive voice/data. Has anyone on...

    Who else thinks that Star Wars never that good?

    Watched the original movies, thought they were good but don't understand the cult following it's got.

    Wearing clothes in my country

    I don't follow any sport, but if I had to choose one it would definitely not be football. "Soccer is a gentleman's game played by hooligans, and rugby is a hooligans' game played by gentlemen" - Winston Churchill. The behaviour out of some of the players and fans. The violence associated with...

    What's your religion?

    I am not religious, but I can appreciate them. Anything that encourages people to do good can't be bad. I think that it is pretty random that life, everything just exists. There are so many different religions to choose from, but I haven't found one that I relate to.

    Surviving b-days and holidays

    I am not a fan of these types of events, they just feel forced, and make me feel awkward and drained. The only relief is when it's over, and then it's starts over again. I tried to go down the whole no presents pact route, but it failed miserably as I have a younger sister and everyone felt...

    Do people underestimate you?

    People do underestimate me, but I believe that is more due to the fact that I'm quiet about my abilities/achievements, unlike others that I work with who seem to crave the attention and boast about everything that they do.

    So I didn't attend a colleagues wedding

    There are other members who have got married and had children, and stayed in the group. I do not understand how only his marriage can have that much of an impact. What changes when a couple goes from living together, to being married and living together? The groups were set up to share...

    So I didn't attend a colleagues wedding

    Exactly, this is my point. If it wasn't for us working together there would be no reason at all for us to have ever come into contact with each other. I have been on a new team for a couple of months now, and they are really pushing the "team means family" thing. They want to have lunch...

    So I didn't attend a colleagues wedding

    I have never told anyone that I work with about my ASD, they probably can tell but I've never had a reason to bring it up. He knew the reasons why I didn't go to my other colleagues wedding, so I thought it would be best for me to be honest with him. I thought he would be more understanding...

    So I didn't attend a colleagues wedding

    A couple of years ago a new guy joined my team. We got paired up quite a bit as he was still learning the job. He is a very emotional person and opened up to me straight off the bat, telling me that he felt low due to his girlfriend breaking up with him. This made me feel uncomfortable as I'm...

    Being sick while autistic

    Just remembered, another time I sprained my ankle and the doctor bandaged it up. It really frustrated me that I wasn't able to put my weight on it. It didn't stop me trying to force it to work.

    Being sick while autistic

    I don't really have much trust in doctors. Might be due to a few bad experiences growing up. I've never really got sick, it's mainly injuries. When I was ten, someone fell and landed on my wrist. It hurt at the time, and ached now and again. My parents got sick of me mentioning it that they...

    Can anyone else relate to this?

    At the start of the day I sit quietly on my computer and let my colleagues talk amongst themselves. They tell me that "I talk too much" *sarcasm*, but it doesn't bother me. After we get our taskings for the day I'm either on my own or paired with someone. Although my job involves dealing with...

    Ask Permission or Seek Forgiveness?

    The way I look at it is that she needs to realise that you are all sharing the washing machines. You cannot expect people to hold onto a washing machine for nothing. You are either using them or not, there is no in-between. Just because someone is offended doesn't make them right. I'm guessing...
