I find it interesting that even the Catholic Church has implemented an age limit for decision makers. New Popes (lifetime appointment) are chosen by the Cardinals (lifetime appointment), but only Cardinals under 80 are eligible to vote. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ingravescentem_aetatem

Dealing with winter. I live in the rural upper Midwest, where winter can hit -20 with whiteout blizzards, week-long power outages, and car-burying snowdrifts. I've seen too many people move here from warmer places and think "I guess I'll buy a warmer coat and a snow shovel", rather than "I should have a backup generator, a backup heat source, a few barrels of spare fuel, a month's worth of stockpiled food, and at least two different pieces of heavy snow-moving machinery tested to be in good working order".

During AC season, 71 during the day, 68 at night. Geothermal FTW.

Hell, I lived in Winona for years and never knew about that.
Do you consider yourself a farmer? A full-time row crop farmer? A part-time hobby farmer? Gardener? Homesteader? Food consumer?
Are you getting it on early to fight tar spot? Later to fight NCLB? Multiple applications? None at all?

I think this calls for a big "decorative" boulder or two in the yard.

Not my cup of tea. I go for a day every 4 or 5 years, if only to remind myself why I don't go every year. Way too peopley.

Exactly. I've run Linux almost exclusively for more than 20 years. I did the whole roll-my-own thing for a while. Now most of the computers I deal with regularly run mostly-stock Ubuntu.

Bug zapper flyswatter. Like you can buy at Harbor Freight for a few bucks. It might not be a terribly effective solution to the overall fly population, but in terms of grim-bloody-vengeance-per-dollar, it's one of the best investments I've ever made.

I'm ready for a nuanced, well-researched, evidence based gun policy discussion. Not the "guns murder babies!" vs. "FREEDOM!" that dominates political discussion.

Specific subs that don't exist on Lemmy, especially Q&A-type subs with no equivalent (or very few members). Things like AskPlumbers. It'll just take time to build those communities here.

Two days ago. I have the opposite problem; I'll trim my nails to bloody stubs if I don't restrain myself.

RadarScope. I work a very weather-dependent job.

Pihole is on an old Pi 2 or 3. HA is in my network hub and attached to external storage. Office is in another building.
It's interesting in that we have things that feel very scifi (GotG, for example) and ones that don't (Luke Cage, Punisher) notionally sharing the same universe.

One for pihole. One for Home Assistant. One for an office dashboard.
