I came across here looking for a way to convert some old Flash projects into Unity projects by finding a tool that can aid me in my projects. I figure I give this place a try since it's free to use.

const today = new Date(); document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = today;

Free Service They do allow up to two free conversions a day.

If you or a friend/family member has access to a 3D printer, though, you can print a small “prosthetic” clip for the cable instead of replacing it entirely.

I was looking into solutions for broken Ethernet clips and found this design, which looks pretty solid.

Anger is a normal response to upsetting situations. Learning how to manage anger in healthy ways is an important part of emotional regulation and self-discipline.

If you’re looking for ways to aid with anger management, Therapist Aid offers worksheets and resources for both kids and adults.

These free worksheets from Therapist Aid can help with developing healthy coping skills and strategies, increasing self-awareness, tracking emotions, and building other useful tools for managing anger in a healthy way. Important

Therapist Aid is primarily designed for mental health professionals, but many of the worksheets and resources are also appropriate for personal use and self-help. The site itself describes its tools as being made “for therapists, by therapists,” and intended for use with clients.

The worksheets are educational tools and coping resources, but they are not a substitute for professional mental health care when someone is struggling with severe distress, trauma, or safety concerns.
