I'm sorry for your loss.

I haven't eaten there in many years. I used to love their buckwheat pancakes.

May your healing be complete and your recovery swift!

I can very much relate to this.

Congratulations!

I'm sorry for your loss.

For folks that run a business & can't just decrease their income, this might be a really good time to invest in your business. If you are going to lose that money anyway, you might as well derive some benefits from it in the form of better equipment, professional learning, new software, etc.

Anything between 400-500% is likely a total loss. Pretty much every dollar you earn within that range you are only earning to send to the government and insurance industry.

After yesterday's deep-dive on the ACA, I can boil down mounds of rules to this simple bottom-line: self-employed/small business folks purchasing health insurance on the Marketplace, if your income is more than 400% of the poverty level (FPL) you are totally screwed if you don't at least break 500%.

Because I *like* paying royalties to folks at the end of each month, and we're reaaaaly close to a fun number for @jfzeigler.bsky.social's upcomng payment, I'd love to sell two more hardcopy books before the first.

Or four PDFs off the Ad Astra website. :)

This looks like it will be a great addition to my worldbuilding library. Can't wait for it to arrive. Half-way there to the goal!

We found a novel solution to our health insurance affordability issues. Insurance becomes affordable and we'll have more spending money if we cut our income roughly in HALF.

This is truly the strangest world I have ever known.

I love this gorgeous hand-made knife my beloved gave me for Christmas. It is definitely my favorite knife ever! What an amazing work of art.

Count your blessings if you live in a place w/ healthcare based on health instead of profit. 2026 health insurance for 2 healthy people is $25k/yr w/ $15k deductible. That's the low premium plan.

The next potential adventure is slowly forming out of the tropical elemental mists. Will it gather enough mana to achieve solidity? Or will it disperse and drift elsewhere?

The theracanes come in a variety of sizes & styles. They typically feature a long hook & several protrusions with balls on the end. Holding it with 2 hands, you can reach & apply pressure to lots of spots one can't normally reach on their own.

The theracane or the lacrosse ball?

Just be careful. It’s easy to bruise yourself with the canes

Lacrosse ball between my back and the right chair is very effective for massage and pressure points. Also a theracane is a great back tool. www.amazon.com/s?k=theracan...

Crap. And just like that... I'm a Wordpress developer... again. <sigh>

Just when I thought I was out...

Congratulations!! 🎉

Ain't that the truth.

Been working on the Firefly freighter #battlemap for #FoundryVTT again. Finally getting to building out the bridge.

Made w/Dungeondraft and assets from @forgotten-adventures.net and Hellscape.

The next time I play myself in an end-world game I've got my character portrait and VTT token ready. 🙂 Fun with HeroForge...

Built my first Compendium for #FoundryVTT this morning. It was easier than I thought. Now to see if my buddy can install & use it on his Foundry rig.

World Anvil is a big toolbox and it can take time to learn all of the tools. I found it to be worth the effort. WA revolutionized my world building and story telling. If you need help, the WA Discord is a great and supportive community.

What kind of help are you looking for? While I've done plumbing work, it's not my strength. When you get to running wires and installing lights I should be of more help. 😀

On a more serious note, I love those kinds of details on maps. Never know when they might prove useful to the story.

Yikes! That was a bit close for comfort. Glad you didn't take any damage on that one.

If you decide to give WA a try, be sure to join the WA Discord server. There's a fabulous community of world builders there and it's the best spot for help with WA if you need it.

I use World Anvil. Almost everyday for five years now. I can't imagine world building or game mastering without it. My game worlds are deeper, richer, & way more interesting now. I spend more time creating content & less time looking for content. For me it was literally a game-changer.
