Nobody who had a Tamagotchi should be surprised by this. Focus Friend is really just Responsibility Tamagotchi.

LPT: Always have an extra capacitor for your AC on hand. It takes 5 minutes to replace and costs a fifth of what it costs if you wait for an HVAC company to it.
I bought two spares this time.

Critical hurricane forecast tool abruptly terminated On Monday, the U.S. Department of Defense announced it would immediately stop ingesting, processing, and transmitting data essential to most hurricane forecasts.

Combine this with the promise to end FEMA

I finished the French cleats in my garage workshop. I still have to make all the tool storage but it's so nice working in the AC!

18,000 BTU Pioneer mini-split indoor unit

I adulted my ass off to install a mini-split air conditioner (with permits) in our garage to comfortably use the gym equipment and tools out there more than a few non-contiguous weeks a year. Now it's about as cool as inside the house and I don't have to wait months to get my shop put together.

It's the same feeling you get when you're driving in snow and lose traction, or start to hydroplane on a wet road, where you turn the wheel a little and suddenly realize it didn't do anything.

Except it's not at a ditch or guardrail we're pointed at, it's fascism.

It makes me very happy that a lot of meme kids were able to benefit financially at the beginning of it.
I wish everyone that bought them a Merry LoseAllYourMoney.

I live near Orlando, the closest bus stop seems to be almost 6 miles away and everything I need to do regularly is closer in a different direction.

@bluescreen.blue and @skylight.social are in iOS betas; both are too new to be in the Google play store yet.

Not sure of their algorithm/moderation goals but they're at least building on the AT Protocol.
