Good times though

Edit to add - making me happy? Proper rain for the first time in about 2 months. My garden was dry and I refuse to water it in April. Weird ass weather so far this year. I need to get a proper water conservation system going for the run off from the roof.

Opposite for me. We still have issues with the gable end of the house (pointing is on to be done somewhere in the next four weeks) so if it rains hard enough with a southerly wind of any sort there's a patch where water is getting in and splotching. Rain is no longer my friend.

I can sell you some rain if you want Mez.

In fact, I'll let you have it for free

[Mezla PigDog]

The garden is all caught up now I think.

Welp, signed a new lease on Thur, got the first payments today, new tenants are moving in on Thur (it was the first day the elevator wasn't booked yet).



Looks like 5 months of headaches are now over.

Now I'm gonna start going outside more after work, work on my shots on a nearby school net,

Man, things were abuzz with summer time activity this Saturday - lawn mowers sounds coming from all directions. Traffic heavy at Home Depot for weekend projects. BBQ smoke this evening. Feels good. Of course we're supposed to get snow Monday/Tuesday.

Vax phase 1 injected. Now i can move things with my mind as long as i put them back exactly where i got them from while no one is looking.

Once you get the second shot you start generating 5g so your phone speeds up.

Just gotta buy the microsoft licenses.

I hear the LINUX suppositories should be available by June.

Second time was the charm. I sold my apartment, for roughly £20 000 above asking price. It feels absurd almost, in 6 years the value of this place have doubled. I would have felt rich if not for the knowledge that all this money will go straight into our new and bigger loan.

I have an ass placer in place(temporarily till other things are acquired) and boy does it look fucking weird after all these months of empty space!

Kind of like How Homer Got His Groove Back.

Oh it's marvelous. Sitting outside imthe golf club in the sunshine, no crowd, one other table.

Oh heaven

Bought a pair of Jabra 75t Elite ear buds and I'm really impressed with the things. I know that Bluetooth ear buds have been around for a few years now but I wasn't really interested in trying them out. I was sure I'd lose them first time I tried them out but I finally caved after destroying my latest set of corded headphones.

There's something really futuristic about carrying small wireless speakers around in your ears that can block out sound and take phone calls.

Welcome to the hearing aid revolution - in full swing since the 1960s.

The models you'll have as you get older will be even cooler than these.

[Aptorian]

I know. It's pretty cool. One of my older colleagues uses hearing aids and is often using it to play music. You don't notice it at all except when she mentions it.

Just remember to buy power bars I have adapters to stream my cell phone, land line phone, home computer, work computer and TV to my implant, all of which run on rechargeable batteries. Along with the implant processor batteries, remote microphone (useful in meetings) and drying kit, I am always charging things. You can never have enough power bars.

[Tiste Simeon]

Have you seen those running headphones that don't even go in your ear? They kind of sit on your temples just next to your ears. The sound quality is phenomenal and it doesn't have the uncomfortable feeling that in ear pieces can give you.

I imagine there's similar technology for hearing aids?

Here's some for an example:

I don't trust any earbuds that don't hook around my ear to not fall out.
Should be getting my new JVCs today, unless Amazon lied to me.

Also, put down a chunk of cash on Kickstarter for a new Android 11 keyboard phone. Since there's been no recent news about the new BlackBerry, felt like a right thing to do.

You know the ethical questions around keeping people alive when they are on life support with zero chance of recovery or survival....

The demand is out there.
