This finally convinced me to use the basement dehumidifier differently. Cycling on and off at a target relative humidity percentage is much better than running continuously for hours on end. Maybe the basement will be less of a sauna this summer. www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_Qf...

This irks me to no end. Please send as many positive thoughts G's way as you can. I was alerted of the issue before the hacker could unleash their link DM on me. (Truth be told, even with the suspicious syntax, I feared I was being DM'd because I'd unknowingly done something wrong.)

Once I get my Discord account back (hopefully) I’m probably deleting my channel server and starting fresh at a later date. If you are in my current server, for your security I highly suggest leaving it. A new server will come soon.
I’m so so sorry about all this. I…just can’t win.
