I'm not sure I love the idea of everyone being able to edit though, I'll have to mess around with it. Ideally my plan is for it to be a non-partisan source. I'm hoping it'll also help me get more involved in what's going on in my town.

Following this closely. I've just moved to a new town and after finding it impossible to get good information about the local elections and candidate, I'm thinking about putting together a website where I can compile everything together for anyone who wants it.

Historically I'm terrible about signing up for way too many newsletters and then falling behind, so I've been trying super hard to limit what feeds I subscribe to. So far The Atlantic is the only one that I regularly skip articles from.

Comment on Ten days in December- Germany with kids: Itinerary feasibility in ~travel
Eabryt Link ParentHmm, my wife and I tend to do all the big tourist things like museums and art galleries and whatnot. We also love finding great places to eat. My wife is vegan so usually it's a little bit easier...Hmm, my wife and I tend to do all the big tourist things like museums and art galleries and whatnot. We also love finding great places to eat. My wife is vegan so usually it's a little bit easier to find more "local" places vs tourist traps.
We're debating spending some time outside the city as well, so if you have suggestions of any cities or towns we should check out, let me know!

The graphics seem a bit poorer than I would expect in this day and age, based on the gameplay it maybe looks to be similar themes to Stardew Valley (although I haven't played that game much so I could be wrong)
I think the price is going to be the biggest factor in how well it does.

I haven't gone through the work to make it super accessible outside of my home network, which I think would require a bit more energy than I've got for this.

Sadly I've since been diagnosed with a chronic disease that makes me ineligible to donate. On the plus side, the doctors get plenty of my blood to keep for themselves.
Very thankful to everyone who is able to donate.

That way you don't have to put money on a card that will just sit there if you don't plan it perfectly.Can't you just use tap to pay on your phone to get the same benefits?

Spoilers
Am I correct that once we get past the first map, it's possible that the value it's referencing might have more than one matching map?
AKA. Looking at
39 0 15for thesoil-to-fertilizermap. When we're doing our range we get to a soil value of14 -> 39Currently we have soil 14 showing up twice in our list. Once for Seed 14 (it didn't have a soil set in the first map), and once for Seed 29 (which was set in the previous map), should both seed fertilizer values be set to 39?

Eabryt (edited )Link ParentYeah I understand all that. The problem comes when we go to the next map. Sticking with seed 42. If I understand correctly, the first line of 0 15 37 would mean that for Seed 42 it would have Soil...Yeah I understand all that.
The problem comes when we go to the next map.
Sticking with seed 42.
If I understand correctly, the first line of
0 15 37would mean that for Seed 42 it would have Soil 42, and now Fertilizer value of 27.However, now we've got seed 99. It has a soil of 51, which isn't in that range, so does that mean fertilizer should be set to 51, or 99?
edit: Also, For that
0 15 37, that's sayingwhen soil is 15, it matches to fertilizer 0right? -

In the example they of course run through the
seed-to-soilmap. For seed 79, it says soil number is 81.What I'm a bit confused about is when we get to the
soil-to-fertilizermap. We don't touch seed 79, so why is the fertilizer number 81 instead of 79? When I'm going through that first map should I basically be "initializing" all the later values (fertilizer, water, light, etc) to that initial soil number? The wording is a bit unclear sometimes and I really wish they would have an idiot like me help with with description/examples. -

Hoping I can make it past 12/14 this year as that's when I stopped last year.
I'll be traveling for 2 weeks in the middle of December, but I plan on doing the days I'm around at least.
I did today with Python but I'm debating choosing a random language to teach myself.
Anyone have suggestions for a language to choose?
