@apoorplayer funny you should say that. Does tearing down and rebuilding my house count?

@mjtsai Once a year I research a replacement for my 32” Dell 4K display because it is scaled and therefore not crisp like native 5K but then I give up and I’ve just decided I’ll upgrade when this thing dies. It died twice within warranty and I’m on my 3rd just waiting. Dell U3219Q

@mjtsai Missed opportunity. Sigh.

@lakelady That’s a great point as well. I haven’t found anything from USDA since February on the issue but it’s 9-12 weeks to laying after millions of birds were killed. We didn’t cure bird flu though, I guess farmers are just more careful?

@apoorplayer that’s pretty much where I’m at. One has 4 seats instead of 2 but they’re very small seats and basically useless. the manuals are dying so not many opportunities to buy one new are left.

@apoorplayer a hot shower when I got home did the trick.

@apoorplayer Very cold but I got to stay dry. Just had to stop for an hour for pizza so I could warm up.

@Rycaut Thanks for the recommendation. I’m so happy the latest iPad supports Apple Pencil. She loves drawing and manipulating photos of us and you can hand her this glass tablet with a pencil and she just has so much fun with it. ..no cleanup versus watercolors :P

@apoorplayer YES! I was so happy to have come across it and it’s regularly updated. No qualms at all about using a promo link in the spreadsheet given how much work went into it.

@apoorplayer waffles and maple syrup for breakfast. Living the good life.

@apoorplayer Is that this weekend? Son of a gun.

@mjtsai That has happened to me. I don’t game on mobile but like power-ups (or whatever the in game currency is called) has like 50 tiers and that that point, I just know it’s not the kind of app for me.

@mjtsai - When I find a new app I want, I click it then scroll down to the “in app purchases” section and expand it. I haven’t looked at the features yet. I just want to know how much it’ll cost per month to have it installed. I’ve been retrained that there are no more free apps.

@manton Thank you.

@mjtsai Disappointing about MacUpdater. I’ve used it daily for many years and have paid the upgrade fees every time. It’s a great too.

@nonjo I really wish I had kept a few in the box especially the original iPhone. Early iPods and iPhones are so revolutionary. The emotional connection like holding the future in your hand.

@apoorplayer anytime!

@martinfeld truly is. I still use the mini and classic on airplanes. No stress about pre downloading music.

@jasonekratz the mini feels amazing. The Nano (all revisions) was too small. I’m a huge fan of the mini design.

@nonjo YUP! That’s on my iPod Classic that still works. well, the mini does too.

@Rycaut www.amazon.com/dp/B0BZQT… I’ve one of these going on 6 years. I replace the blades once a year and it’s been very reliable. Mine is an older revision with a recharge base. Batteries haven’t need replacing.

@apoorplayer hah! It was a lot of work about 2 years total but thank you for the reply. I’m hoping it leads to great things

@apoorplayer Indeed. $130K a year is way higher than Vermont’s “average household income” which is $78,024.

@gruber - I asked ChatGPT 4o the same prompt as you - adamchandler.me/blog/2025…

@apoorplayer Quick Chat GPT math on a Vermont community $500K w/ $100K down and today’s property tax / insurance / interest for 30-year fixed is $3700 a month. so that’s $11,000 household monthly income to meet that 30% housing debt-to-income rule or $132,000 a year. And that’s “average”
