Pah! When I was your age, a single light bulb consumed 100W all by itself! It produced so much waste heat you could bake a cake!
Me 30 years ago: if I get the right domain name, it’ll make selling so much easier

Catching up with last week's social housing news from Seattle. So excited about this! It’s opening up existing apartments to lower-income families, generating revenue to keep doing the same, and starting from high-end apartments to remove the stigma of "public housing".

I love that Wikipedia editors regularly create explainer pages for national elections in other countries. They include an overview of the political system, the parties involved, and the voting methods on top of the results and the controversies from recent events.

A message from home just now: “So, I just made the bed. Mercury came over when I put the big bolster pillow in place, and sat in the middle of it. Then I placed first the small bolsters to either side of her, then the main pillows; then the navy pillows. Finally the throw. Through all this she stayed, as a castle of pillows was built around her.” #CatsOfMastodon

People keep sharing their amateur art projects with me and I love it! So much. Please keep making things whether you share them or not.
You are in a twisty maze of Chesterton’s Fences, all alike.
