A mountain house with a pool, looking down at a beach.

Also, with enough tree clearance, and a pool cleaning robot that doubles as a high-pressure fire sprinkler.

Programming.dev seems like a good option.

Since this is meta... however this ends up getting resolved could be a good template for consolidating multiple sparse communities across the Fediverse into a single, more populated one.

Porter v Harris would be an interesting matchup.

People used to do this at tech conferences, but using Twitter. Someone would start a hashtag and people would jump in. There was always a fun side-channel going with people commenting on what was being presented on the main stage.

Fun times, before... sigh

New casual gaming platform, using on-device AI. Hope to have something to share and get feedback in a few weeks.

Get your filthy mitts off her. That's my future wife. As soon as my check clears, we're getting married.

• Putting out the app I've been working on for the last year.
• More hugging the family (and general appreciation).
• Catching up with friends more often.
• Ignoring the news.
• Not having my back go out and ending up in ER, like last year.

• Practice triage: start with small, achievable projects that can be done on a weekend. Don't get overwhelmed. Be kind to yourself. Not every problem is immediate or needs fixing.

• If you have access to a local tools library, avail yourself of it fully. The staff are a treasure-trove of wisdom and knowledge. If not, talk to the oldest, crotchiest person at your local bardware store.

• There are so many single-use tools out there (favorite one is so you can unscrew the faucet bolt under a sink). If not, see if there's a community online board and post a request.

• Vintage appliances, windows, doors, etc are cool. A little elbow grease and they're in good shape. Junkyards and recycling centers are a treasure trove.

• If it involves anything hazardous or too heavy (gas, electricity, foundation), bite the bullet and seek professional help.

• Ants and cracks are small-fry. Baits and fillers are easy fixes. Focus on big ticket items. And remember, some things are best left alone (see triage, above).

Go back to the Garden of Eden with a bucket, grab all the apples, then head back.

We're engaged. Will be getting married as soon as my deposit check for half the expenses clears.

Ran a hairdryer all night, propped against my Mac laptop keyboard after a friend knocked over a full pint of beer onto it.

The next morning the whole bathroom reeked of stale beer, the power bill was astronomical, and the left quarter of the keyboard never worked again.

Took it in for repairs and was grateful AppleCare swapped it out without a peep. This was a while back, before the embedded moisture strips that void the warranty.
