Young me would find a four hour nap on the Sunday of a long weekend a waste.

Old me finds this the best use of a Sunday on a long weekend.

Big Ass Fans FINALLY support HomeKit (via Matter) so I pulled the trigger for our office. The vent fan is working nicely, but the AC has to cool the downstairs to 66 to get the office under control unless we plug a lot of vents. A ceiling fan in the room will do the work needed to move the air and cool the room much more effectively.

The government of Denmark built this massive automated warehouse and tax free location at the port for UNICEF meanwhile the fucking ghouls elected to run this country say they cannot afford to help those in need.

Billionaires need to no longer be a thing.

Elizabeth ran 6 M+2 keys with me today! So proud of her!

Two failed because people left after too many deaths, but we timed the other four, got the weekly quest done, she got a better belt and even better, two boxes in the vault unlocked for chances at gear on Tuesday!

Took 2.5 months and my personalized…. registration is here.

They also sent temporary paper plates, with instructions on how to attach them, then a letter for personalized temporary plates that overrides those instructions, stating to keep the old plates on until the new ones arrive… in 6-8 weeks. Tack the temporary in the window. And a letter for law enforcement explaining all of this.

@bigzaphod Did they say you can use drops? I use Bausch & Lomb Soothe, which come in individual containers.
