    I will often write something to post, but when I’ve written it, I feel better about it, or that it was such a minor thing, that I end up not posting it after all.

    The band Moon Hooch appeared twice in my Discovery playlist, and I decided to give them a good listen. The same day I found out that they were having a concert in my town that very night.

    I went to the concert alone, which I very rarely do, and had an absolute blast! Going alone to the concert, and really getting into the music, without having to “look after” anyone was very fun!

    The band was great, and I’ve listened to their music a lot since.

    If you want an introduction to them, look up their tiny desk concert.

    Rimworld: I’ve waited so long to play this, thinking it might come on sale, but finally I realized it wouldn’t come on sale any time soon. Very fun and challenging.

    I got into budgeting with YNAB, and still use YNAB4. I find it works very well for me, and it has helped me get a good overview of how we use money, and save for that rainy day. :)

    I often have a series, sports or YouTube/Twitch on the second screen, but I realize that it’s very distracting.

    I try to avoid it, and rather only have music on while working. I try to avoid having the mobile phone close as well, while watching something.

    I think prepping is interesting and fun. We’re lucky to live somewhere where emergencies / catastrophes / weather is very unlikely to be an issue.
    Still, I try to have food, water and equipment to be self sufficient for about a week.

    Now, with a 4 month old baby, our preparedness situation is more complicated. Bug-out is difficult, and our best chance is staying put.

    Risotto, cooked just right, with plenty of parmesan cheese mixed in. Really easy, really delicious.

    Quite certain it bothered me last night.

    Another thing though:
    When clicking a tag while browsing a category, the url will not have the ~ character, but its “code”, so it looks like this:

    You’re correct; “nature finds a way”! I guess I was just feeling a bit fatalistic about the how stupid and short sighted some people can be when it comes to valuing profit over environment.

    I’ll let someone more knowledgeable about different browsers answer which is best. I’m on Firefox on iOS and Firefox on PC, and it works well.

    Only issue I have on mobile is when changing a drop down menu, such as “last three days”, “all time”, etc. I have to tap somewhere else for the new choice to take effect. This is a little unintuitive and annoying.

    Lately I’ve been reading about all the irreversible damage the human race has done to the rainforest in South America, and it makes me really angry. This is happening all over the planet, and as we’re becoming ever more resource hungry, we will continue the destruction. Worried about the human race? Worry about our planet!
