Thanks for reminding me about the Violence of the Lambs.

And if you haven’t seen it, give Zombeavers a watch.

There’s still leaf sheep and sea bunnies!

There is also riseup.net as a non profit email provider, servers in the US I think

You are correct and that was the deciding factor in scratching them off my list.

Maintenance trim was the last haircut. Going to make those a little more regular after the difference I noticed.

I knew trimming split ends was a thing but didn’t know the difference first hand until then.

I’ve had 3 since covid. Finally had a chance to grow it past the awkward stages and reluctant to give it up now.

2 days on Citypass stuff: Space Needle (I never did go when I lived there), Woodland Park Zoo, MoPop, Seattle Aquarium, and Chihuly. 2 days east driving the Cascades and back stopping at any view (11 waterfalls on the route), staying in Leavenworth over night. 2 days on the peninsula visiting the Hoh and Quinalt rainforests as well as Kalaloch beach plus whatever else we can fit in, over night still to be decided. We’re also going to fit in a whale/otter boat tour somewhere.

Due to a scheduling conflict, we moved our Seattlevacation up from August to week after next!

Same.

Lot of potential but it didn’t pan out.

You got me looking at these. Then I started looking around. Is there a reason to get one of the ~200 USD balance boards over a 20 USD wobble board? Other than durability, I guess.

Call me paranoid but that sounds like leadership was compromised by counter-interests.

Thanks for giving me inspiration to come back to it this weekend.

Drop Duchy 18.0 hrs last two weeks / 33.5 hrs on record

Deckbuilder, Tetris style-puzzle, and rogue-lite game. Gameplay is like Tetris but you get building cards which translate into tiles. When placed the tiles provide resources, armies, or somehow affect the tiles around them. Between rounds you can upgrade cards to improve or change their functions. There are achievement milestones which reward progression points that can be spent to unlock new cards, new decks, or otherwise provide boosts to make future runs more successful.

We’re gonna need you to stop using roads, municipal water, electricity, internal combustion engines.

Basically if you didn’t build it yourself, stop using it. Let me know how rugged individualism and not needing anyone works out for you.

How was Magnolia? I loved Lillies.

Drop Duchy - Roguelike Tetris/card/city builder. 13 hours in and it’s solid./L Description from the Steam page does a good job of explaining an unconventional roguelike.

Drop Duchy - Build your duchy piece by piece in this refreshing hybrid rogue-lite game. Use block-dropping mechanics to collect resources, recruit troops to fight against belligerent armies, and let every block shape your realm, leading your path to victory!

Webbed - This deceptively simple metroidvania is based around using spiderwebs as the main mechanic for puzzle solving. You have two web modes: swinging or pulling yourself to a surface or creating persistent webs. The webs stay when you leave the current screen/room so when you spend time making yourself a ramp to get somewhere you don’t need to redo it again when you return to an area.

I also thought it was a cool touch that they made it accurate to nature in that the male spider is a riot of color and the female is grey/browns. I think they’re based on peacock spiders and the protagonist is the female.

Weird, I didn’t peg him as a bottom.

2 pints if you’re Peter Thiel’s blood type.

I do it every time I’m eligible. It’s the only treatment for hemochromatosis. Tony Stark knows nothing about being an Iron Man.

Coworker shared this with me. Keeping it going.

Building a greenhouse, new pollinator garden, covering paths, walkable thyme, allowing the vunteer moss to flourish. Maybe a pond.
