OCD's support is expanding!

Hello everyone! This is the 1888th compilation post of OCD's latest curation efforts. It has been known that OCD has been supporting leading niche communities under its Community Incubation Program. However, there are still a lot of other niche communities not supported by OCD. This curation initiative will help in supporting those communities.

This newest curation effort aims to encourage authors to post in appropriate communities even if those communities are not under the incubation program. This will also encourage users to explore more into the different communities in Hive.

OCD curators and community leaders will find posts from other niche communities and recommend them for an upvote. Unlike those communities in the incubation program where curation is focused, this curation initiative is spread out. This will help find undervalued posts from smaller communities that deserve support.

This will highlight both the author and the community where the post is located. This way, smaller niche communities can focus on growing their subscribers and increasing the engagements within their respective communities. A small boost goes a long way.

Speaking of boost, here are the curated posts for this batch:

I hope everyone has a great Christmas and a great New Year's Eve with their loved ones. This time I'm sharing a delicious Christmas cookie recipe with you. A year ago I had some sprinkles or Christmas color rain and I wanted to prepare some simple cookies so that you have a delicious and nice idea that you can give or share for that day to your loved ones or as gifts for friends or family. On the other hand, I was already craving some cookies these days, because it's been a while since I prepared them and I'm a total cookie lover.

We are not so important as to think that we are the center of the universe. And I start with this, because sometimes we think that everything bad happens to us. Economic problems, health problems, love problems and many other things. And the reality is that no one is exempt from this and those who are, surely are not in this plane. Hence the title of my thumbnail, which invites to continue, as the Only Option.

Today I want to share with you the joy that overwhelms me in addition to the feeling of gratitude because my wife and I were yesterday, Friday, celebrating 44 years of happy marriage to the glory of God, we got married back in 1980 and since then we have stayed together through thick and thin, of course it has not been an easy task because we have different personalities and ways of thinking but when there is love, respect and understanding, a stable and happy marriage can be achieved.

Happy night and many blessings friends... dear friends of this beautiful community creators of delicious drinks, the day of Christmas spirit and good night is coming, and to celebrate I bring you a delicious and very dear drink in this cold season here in my country and for the winter in other countries. Nothing like a cocoa punch with cinnamon, but hot to activate the sensors of joy and mood and so spend all the Christmas holidays with great happiness, because cocoa is the fruit that in union with cinnamon produces this well being of satisfaction in the brain and throughout the body.

Ah, the holidays. That magical time when you’re supposed to deck the halls, bake cookies that would make Martha Stewart weep, and magically transform your house into a cozy snow globe of cheer. Except, if you’re like me, the holidays also mean wrangling your ADHD brain, managing perimenopause mood swings (hot flashes and holiday lights? Too much sparkle!), and trying not to let anxiety ruin what’s left of your sanity.

Introducing the "Beeb" - the inventors of the ARM architecture used these machines to simulate and develop chip designs. Those chips are now in every home and business.

This particular machine is my BBC Master, plus 5 1/4" floppy disk drive, and three-button mouse. Isn't she a beauty?

Like many microcomputers of the 1980s, the BBC Micro ran on a 6502 series microchip. Unlike most of the competition, however, the BBC had the best BASIC programming language by far and arguably the best expansion capabilities.

Hello, hello my beautiful people. Christmas is a magical time to enjoy with the ones we love, they are days to share and forget grudges to live in tranquility. In December many values are transmitted such as kindness, humility and generosity.

Greetings dear foodies, lovers of good food, happy to visit this wonderful community once again to share with you a family recipe for a very Venezuelan dessert that is always present at celebrations and birthday parties, christenings, family reunions, as it is very delicious and practical to make; being its traditional flavor of vanilla, although there are other variants that also highlight this delicious dessert as is the flavor of pineapple, pumpkin that I have already shared in my blog and gladly I leave the links below if you are encouraged to prepare these flavors too, but today I was encouraged to make a coffee quesillo, taking advantage of a Caripero coffee, which I brought as a gift, so I took the recipe that I inherited from my grandmother of her delicious quesillo.

To get to this purchase my nephew and I made a series of previous exchanges and a sale; first we bought an Xbox One S giving as part payment an Xbox 360 Slim, then we got to a PSP giving in exchange a Nintendo Gamecube. Later we gave a SEGA Dreamcast and the PSP for a Nintendo Switch and finally we got to this console, which we got with the sale of the Nintendo Switch and giving as part payment the Xbox One S. To summarize, this console cost 240 dollars (1 million 50 thousand Colombian pesos), the Xbox One was valued for half the price and the rest we paid with the sale of the Switch.

My graduation fell on the bitter days of the Covid-19 pandemic. Those planes of fanfare and partying had to be suspended for obvious reasons. I felt very sad about it, especially because the possibility of celebrating with my friends was very scarce. Going out and attending events was a mortal danger. Nobody wanted to get infected, and everyone felt safe at home. The university made a very harsh exception for all graduates; there would be a ceremony, but under a very strict protocol. My family could not enter the small room where the solemn act would take place. They gave us all gowns and caps of the same color; My classmates and I were supposed to wear white robes for our academic excellence, but nothing like that happened. It was all pretty generic.

The ceremony was short and to the point. We couldn't crowd together or get too close. We put on white gloves and, before starting, they talked to us about the protocol to avoid a possible contagion by Covid. More than a graduation, it seemed like a health talk. It was necessary, of course; at that time the main issue was not to get infected and to keep the established distances. They gave us the diplomas and, without further ado, they said goodbye to us. I always dreamed of something better, but there are things that we definitely cannot change.

This concludes this batch's curation report. We would like to congratulate those who are featured and supported. Keep up the good work and continue to explore Hive Communities.
