Do I need the Festool Powered Exoskeleton?

No.

Do I want one?

Yes.

My realtor came back this week to take photos and see what I’d done the last 4 months.

She had very, very good news. Now I’m trying and failing not to count my chickens before they hatch!

“I think your opinion is informed more by what you’ve consumed in media than what you’ve learned through experience.”

That’s polite Pip for, “You don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about.”

We both know that’s impossible.

I did the staging myself for my home sell. Which means I missed a fursuit head. WHOOPS.

Grimmy. Honey.

I left the door open for one second and he snuck back in.

Dude. You’re creating a use case that is a luxury as a justification.

Yes, we know a heated driveway keeps it clear.

It uses a metric fuck ton of energy to do so. A standard two car driveway takes 20kw an HOUR.

Thats enough to drive an average electric car 60 miles.

Every hour.

They require the literal exact same amount of energy. A given number of cubic meters of ice at a given temperature will always require the exact same number of BTUs to melt.

A snowblower X watt hours to clear X feet with X” of snow

I’m sorry but you just don’t understand how energy works.

Right, we’re not even talking about waste heat that goes into the ground, the air, the car- everything that isn’t snow.

Sure. The longer you let snow build up before blowing it the more efficient it is. Since it takes barely any more fuel to remove 6 inches of snow accumulation rather than 4.

While melting 6 inches takes 50% more energy than 4 inches. That’s just the physically required energy for the phase change.

He’s talking in literal units of energy. Like how many joules of energy it takes to melt x inches of snow vs joules required to operate a snow blower to move that same about.

I started to type out to send to someone what I’ve done in the last 4 months and realized it was a novel.

And I still feel like I should and could have done more.

Since May I have:

Gone to two cons
Built a new cedar lined closet
Built 640 ft of fence
2 Gates
Cleared 2k sq ft of overgrowth

It occurs to me that the only reason I can eat like this is because I've apparently taken up construction as a hobby.

Bold words coming from a hyena.

Third night in a row I've had a dream set in a dystopia with a furry from the 2010's. Not the same as the past two.

Just odd that my dreams keep being themed.

Making my will deed everything to create a Furry Endowment for the Arts.

“Yeah bro, I’m on a full ride furry scholarship. Even came with a sewing machine.”

Sure, close enough!

Two dreams two nights in a row about someone I barely see or talk to.

Tonight’s was at a furry con on a tropical island in the mid future- when nuclear war breaks out.

Very tired of, “Hur Hur protests do nothing we need a general strike.”

As if nation wide general strikes were something that just happened without years of coordination and practice.

It’s a trap.

It’s trying. Just not very hard.

Also funny was seeing the one counter protestor with a Charlie Kirk flag leaving in his hilariously clapped out car.

Yeah buddy, capitalism is really working out for you isn't it?

Well at least I’m pretty!

…I thought that was just one of your favorite sayings.

That one isn't bots, it's just actual R's.
