Do any other couples follow the tradition of the woman organizing Valentine's Day on leap years?

@myrmidex @Gina Never heard of the bullet journal method...interesting.

@Gina @artyr3 I tried and liked this suggestion.

There is something magical about looking back in time at your notes if you can manage it.

Ugh.

@artyr3 I'm over-sizing the system(20kW) because the house will be multi-generational and we will probably have people live there temporarily as a ministry(battered women, etc).

@newfangled@mastodon.social We filled one of these up with concrete and left it on the porch to see who would steal it. They made it to the ditch in the front yard before dropping it. In retrospect, I wish I had kept all of my old computers.

@artyr3 I hear that they are working on the power requirements on their end as well. Honestly, having it on part of the day might be a way to reign in some of the negative effects of always being connected. You always use something better if you have to be intentional about it too. That is part of my reasoning for going off-grid in the first place. What do you think of Tesla Powerwalls? They are expensive, but have a good warranty. You can't say making your own system up to code is cheap.

@artyr3 Oh man, I didn't even check that! That can't be right?! I do remember seeing that it would melt snow...We are building off-grid even though we do have access to it. I wonder if I could build some kind of big dish to boost the gain and reduce the power consumption?

@tanjaostman If this is true, how was he able to keep it buried for so long?! Ladies if you, or someone you know, has or is experiencing abuse by a spiritual leader, you HAVE to expose them! We've got your back! God doesn't need these people to "save souls". Total depravity is real. Don't be unprepared when you come face to face with it.

This lady was my age when Hitler invaded France...that is nuts to think about.

What about a #Mastodon temporary residence?

An instance that hosts people interested in mastodon, introduces them around and empowers them to either find an instance they might enjoy or make their own?

You get 6mos. on the instance and after that you spread your wings migrating with all your new friends to an instance of your own.

This would help spread the idea of decentralization and to an extent, self-hosting.

Just ordered my Starlink kit! I've been excited about this for a while and have been wondering how to solve the internet problem at the new house.

@retiredguru@social.linux.pizza Check the glove box for bitcoin wallets first...

@cmdln Congrats! I hope I can do half as well in 3 months.

Me last week: "Seriously, Jacob wrestled with God through the night? Why did God put up with that?"

Me today: "Wow, it is hard to get eardrops in a toddler's ears before bed. They will straight up go from limbo position to mountain goat headbutt while you're holding them."

Heidi said about 10 new words today. She really likes "Woooow!" I need to try harder to get video of these moments. Tomorrow evening marks a week since you folks have been praying for us. What a roller coaster of a week! So many miracles. Times like these are meant to be remembered and shared.

I've been re-doing the reverse ceiling plan for the new house. I picked up and wired one of the actual lights to see how it looked today. It is absolutely amazing how much better lighting has become in 20 years. These are 4" slim recessed LED lights and I don't even have to install a can. If you're building new or remodeling, give Halo or Lithonia slim LEDs a try.
