@Connecticutting If they're getting treats, reason should get treats.
Gave the twins crackers in the safety of the living room for precisely this reason. The reason does not appreciate this.
Polisci.network needs sponsors from next month. Iβm a PhD candidate, investing my time into running this server but canβt pay for it every month on my own. It costs US$35 a month to keep the lights on here.
@ScottSoCal oh yeah. This is a pre-lit tree so the lights are on it anyway. The only thing I really add this way is tinsel and the ornaments, but I left the tinsel on this time.

Seriously, we use extra large trashbags to cover it in storage, and put the thing away with everything but the ornaments still on it. So much faster and easier! Life's too short to waste time untangling tree lights.

No, not the toaster, but I did make a general recommendation for my new coffee grinder.
Hey, it's a good grinder.

Happy news
In July I married a stupendous human. He is the wisest, most compassionate & loving person Iβve ever met. In June we are going to Scotland for my family reunion & I just wanted to share with you HOW VERY HAPPY I AM! Here we are right after our wedding π #happy #couple #summer #okanaganvalley #BC #scotland
So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
