My dad could use a helpful resource on establish a baseline community code of conduct for an online discussion group. Any recommendations for good guides and/or templates?

(This is a •completely• nontechnical group, FYI.)

Successful fedi trans folks, how can i get hired and therefore keep affording rent

I know ISO 13485 and 9001 like the back of my hand, am an expert at root cause analysis / FMEA, have extensive facility auditing experience, can manage building automation systems, wrote hundreds of SOPs and other technical documents, taught myself enough coding to write a program for tracking equipment PM/calibration/validation dates, developed and executed protocols for equipment PM/calibration/validation and trained and managed a team to do the same, can read and interpret electronic diagrams, am great at soldering, have drawn, etched, and assembled circuit boards, and can bake the most amazing desserts.

I am also open to learning whatever else i need to prevent myself from being homeless

Hi! I'm looking for an artist/graphic designer to commission some fake logos and liveries for some fake railroad companies in my freelance alt-present Louisville transit N-scale model railroad universe. If this sounds interesting, please hmu!

To be clear: I would like to pay money for this! It's a hobby project, so I probably can't justify professional graphic design rates, but I want to pay a real human real personal commission money for this!

Hi #fediverse. We need to talk about something.

While talking to a colleague about how I recently learned most people have never sat on a crow it came up that she has never been sat on by a cat. Like, not even once during childhood.

Another colleague admitted they also have never been sat on by a cat.

My hypothesis is that most people have at one point in their life sat on by a cat.

Have you ever been sat on by a cat?

Please boost for scientific accuracy.

Hey everyone,

We're trying raise money for my health insurance renewal as it's ending, but we unfortunately can't afford it.

It's still 528€. I know it's a lot but would allow me to see specialists + get exam quicker in private hospitals. After being diagnosed with pulmonary degenerative illness, the sooner I can get treatment, the better.

Thanks for any and all help. Please take care first 💙

So after 16 months of illness I'm back on my feet and applying to jobs, but I'm completely broke and the combination of car+power+storage for 6 people is due, with a lot of late fees added in.
I'm sorry to ask, but any amount would help. Thanks so much!

Just laid off along with whole team. I'm in the middle of moving. Movers coming on Saturday. I'm not done packing. Good: time to finish packing. Goodish: cheaper rent at new locale. Bad: older guy computer programmer, but not even in COBOL [C, Perl, Python, PL-SQL, RedHat and Debian Linux. Created a custom RPM just Friday.]

Looking. CT / NYC / remote.
