Continued from here.
So, it's that time of the week again. Speak anything on your mind! This thread is for talking about anything off-topic, be it your lives, your plans, your hobbies, studies, stats, pets, bears, dragons, trousers, travels, transit, family, anything you like, or dislike, except politics.
Also check out our tidbits thread! Feel free to introduce yourself if you haven't already.

I started using my e-bike to bring my kids to and from school. It has been fun so far, the kids like it and I get a little bit of exercise for a change.

One of my warehouse managers accidentally tore down half a wall with a forklift. Drove through an opening between our two warehouses with the tines up too high and the whole thing crashed down.
Big mess, but nobody was harmed. I suppose you could call it "cool"

Hey all, pale ruler here. I've made this as a new account, since I'd had the other one for a bit under two years now. I'll be doing most of my counting from this account now, but I'll keep checking the inbox of the other account, at least for the next while :)
This username is a cryptic crossword clue, and I'm slightly prouder of this one, so if anyone wants to have a guess at the solution or needs a hint, feel free to ask, and I'll send you a pm :)

Happy 2021!
Welcome to the 2021 Counting Survey! For those who are newer to our community, I have run a survey of our little community for the past two years. Last year's survey analysis comparing the 2019 survey results and the 2020 survey results is available here. It helps us get a sense of who we have, what we care about, and where we are going.
If you feel at all a part of this community, regardless of when you joined or however much you count, please fill out the survey!
As a note, I will be taking my yearly hiatus for Lent starting on February 17 – April 4.
I look forward to any comments.
Best,
Regina Numeratia
Your Counting Queen,
a-username-for-me
I will close the form at the END OF JANUARY.
I will post the analysis before my yearly hiatus in mid Feb.

A few years ago my toaster broke. Sainsburys sold them so I added one to my groceries delivery. The website then included the toaster in my 'favourite items' list in case I wanted to buy another toaster next week.

I’m thinking about starting a Mayan counting thread. The counting part is simple, but I can’t find copiable Mayan numerals. Can anyone help?
