Pretty soon I won't be able to watch Netflix anywhere so I'll just cancel my subscription due to lack of use.

I did today with Python but I'm debating choosing a random language to teach myself.
Anyone have suggestions for a language to choose?

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 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.

Eabryt Link ParentCan't you just use tap to pay on your phone to get the same benefits? 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?
PocketCasts is pretty much the only company I've dealt with who tried to cancel everyone's "lifetime" membership and then backed down over the backlash.
I got my lifetime pass on sale and it was for sure money well spent but I've been dual-running Plex and Jellyfin for months now. Pretty much the only reason I'm still running Plex is so my remote users can easily access my content.
