Today is the day I accept my silence.
I used to think that if I worked hard enough and shared my story honestly, the world would listen. I am a software dev who was born with a hardware error. After 19 surgeries, I thought my 20th would be my upgrade to stereo sound.
After seeing 800,000 people pass by my project like I’m a ghost, I finally understand. I am meant to be incomplete. I’m giving up on the Angel of Sound project. I’m giving up on the surgery. I will just be the guy with the asymmetric face and the mono hearing. To those who actually tried to help, you made me feel human for a second. Thank you. Goodbye.

Monthly Book Discussion Thread
Morning all!
Hope you're all well. Please use this thread as a place to discuss what you've been reading the past month.
* Have you gotten stuck into any good novels?
* A good bit of non-fiction on the agenda?
* Read anything cool/interesting as part of your studies?
* Or maybe a few good long read articles?
Let us know, and do get involved in a discussion!
Just passed my driving test at third attempt
Beyond chuffed with myself. Only 4 minors thankfully.
I did a test before COVID and one during COVID, both of which I failed in annoying circumstances, so put a pause on it to focus on university.
Left my grad job last year and realised I should spend my free time wisely, so got insured on my parent's car and went for weekly practice drives with my Dad; which were frankly a lot less nerve wracking than lessons with an instructor.
So CasualUKers who haven't been fortunate to pass at first attempt, what stories do you have? Those that have been driving for ages, what advice would you give to a new driver experiencing the roads by themself for the first time?
