"Your digital library loan ends soon" - what? I can't hear you, I will be "on a plane" for the next month

I want to switch from fan to AC in my window for my comfort, but Cheddars wants to bake for her comfort 🙃

Cheddars left and i switched to AC before she returned. Sorry, Cheddars. Good news is the hose gets warm though

@tim_lavoie I did return the book in the system, but *somehow* it's still on my device for now. I haven't had much success with stripping the DRM though, might have to look into that for entertainment value and/or "training my AI"

@socketwench Yeah, so far just waiting and then drag it to the bathroom and unscrew a plug to drain into tub. There is an attachment for a hose if I got ambitious and managed to feed that out the window, though

(i may yet get ambitious, since the thing is HEAVY)

@voltur Absolutely, yes. We've done it (counting) 6 times? (4 times in Michigan, then 2 times in Oregon) I think we are at least partly insane but also very lucky. And also my wife is the organized-as-stress-response one in our marriage

@ben FWIW, I think Anil Dash (and I) agree with you (in case you hadn't seen this)

@rgegriff I wouldn't recommend it, except a) we really had a hard time settling anywhere til Portland, and b) we very luckily seemed to time the market multiple times over 15 years such that we only lost money once and mostly broke even on the move.

@ben In a lot of ways, MCP reminds me of RSS. I'm kind of waiting for someone to come along with the nouveau equivalent of Atom and kick off some standards wars.
