I think I'm almost done with social media. Bluesky will be the first one I drop. Then threads. I just don't need this in my life right now.

So, based on personal experience, GE countertop Nugget Ice makers last about two years before dying. They have a one year warranty. After owning several of these, and having them all stop working in different ways (the latest sounds like bearing failed) I think we're done.

If you're anxious and craving chocolate, and have a bad memory... You're probably copper deficient. Go see your doctor.

For the past three years or so the sun has been putting out about 1 more watts of heat per square meter than usual. (Napkin math: that's an extra 6.4x10^13 watts of energy - 640 terawatts - directed right at us... Or about +0.43⁰C, or +0.77⁰F).

Steam Decks make a surprisingly good coding rig if you connect a mouse, monitor, and keyboard to them. Not exactly a Raspberry Pi replacement (too expensive) but not bad at all.

One can never have too many social media accounts...
