Woof-- I hope it goes as smoothly and inexpensively as possible for you, at least!

the truth is before gAI we've been using AI scripts to automate repetitive or inefficient tasks just fine for decades, gAI makes those same tasks absolutely impossible or dangerous to do. it basically rendered decades of technology unusable. and it kills the planet and ruins economies as it does it.

They're in now replacing it, thank goodness! And they'd hooked us up with space heaters to tide us over.

... Turns out the propane tank placement wasn't up to code and they hadn't noticed for the fifteen years Dad's had this house, though, so it's going to be a bit more work than they'd intended.

Oh heck! I'll definitely try to make time to check out what I have. 😮

Dad once told me, "Little snow, big snow. Big snow, little snow." And I am now unable to keep from looking outside at the microscopic flakes and going, "oh no, that snow is LITTLE."

Oh no, now that I know there's MAGIC IN SPAAACE I'm probably also doomed 😂

Aww, thank you! I'm gonna have to take an afternoon sometime to go through what I've got...

Aw, heck yeah! I've been so out of the loop outside of Forgotten Realms and Final Fantasy, I didn't realize half of those existed.

It's been TOO stinkin' long since I've actually played, but that didn't stop me from grabbing a draft box of the Forgotten Realms cards or a couple of the FF crossover commander decks... 😆

(There are a few FFXIV cards I'd love to have in my grubby mitts, but I don't have a list or anything!)

Aaah, jealous! I've been lusting over that set for months.

Me fondly remembering my first exposure to Watership Down, as a tender young sprat of like eight, blindly wandering into the Murder Bunny Horror Funtime Show...

I was much older when I first watched Plague Dogs, thank goodness.
