I decided to add two very large signs to our yard for Halloween. Like so. I’ll also have LED flashlights propped near them for visibility. There are .. other.. reasons this is relevant that I’ll show later.

my social network is so cool you've probably never even heard of it

Deliberately interfering with people's basic food needs is something you should never, never do. If this was the wakeup call that people needed... good, I guess?

My daughter and I built a PC together -- a rite of passage in our family. Built a laptop (the Framework 13) much earlier this year with my other daughter, and a Mini-PC many many years ago with my son.
