    One house party during my time as a student, we had to stop dancing to this song because the floor joists were visibly wobbling up and down.

    Oof, eleven-hour-plus workday today and it's likely to be similar all weekend. Sorry to leave a half-built house out in the rain until Monday but I'm sure it'll be fine. Probably.

    And the whole family is going on a screen diet starting... yesterday? So you'll be seeing me a lot less in general. I'll console myself by IRL reorganizing my storage bins, putting up oak planks, planting crops, and placing lots of composters at my IRL house instead. I'll sneak on while the scamps are in school, though.

    Edit: Was able to find twenty minutes to throw some blue tarps over the construction site. Should be safe until next week now.

    It's been my policy for decades to use the feminine pronouns by default, as male pronouns are overrepresented in the historical English-language corpus.

    For those who don't speak Latin, I've claimed an apartment in town to act as my pied-à-terre while I build a house south of the Ominous Tower. Imagine my surprise when I dug down to lay the foundation only to discover the street level lawn was a fugazi and there was a whole nother lawn below complete with its own foliage and light fixtures. Nevertheless, I did my best to comply with HOA regulations and soldiered on, albeit the kind of soldier that builds things instead of blowing them up.

    In other news, I really like how @TangibleLight incorporated the side wall of my Nether portal kiosk into her own much grander atrium. It looks good! I'll try to grab a screenshot later, but for the curious it's the first station west of the Netherhub.

    I heard tell there's a (manual) mushroom farm somewhere but I didn't see a marker for it on the bluemap. I got my mushrooms another way but it seems like something to note.

    The Chick Magnet seems to be outputting cooked chickens instead of the much more salable raw chickens. Is this... intentional?

    I'm still pretty freaked out but kiddo is very much doing better. It's been a stressful ordeal and the house is a mess, but I'm back at work and slowly catching up on housework. It was really nice to zone out for a couple hours on the server last night just landscaping my hinterlands and trying to catch and convert zombie testificates. I got one!

    I'm not sick, much worse: It's one of my kids. Checking out today, at least. Just a little non-fatal poisoning. ]:

    Now that my house at base is done, I was hoping to build a town house as well, so at least one person will be looking. Though I'd prefer a "rugged", unaltered plot.

    Stuck in the hospital right now, though, so I might be awhile in claiming one.

    Nice to hear! I became rather fond of that road from all the running back and forth I did on it before I finally connected to the nether rail line this week.

    Therefore, I plan on having the road cut through community storage rather than have it curve around it.

    I didn't realize you were one of the creators of the mod toolbox! That was so useful back before reddit went to shit. Good stuff.

    I like that pronunciation, if only because sz is one of my favorite phonemes.

    Teen is asking if it can play on the server. I know that other youths play supervised, but this one would mostly be playing at a different time than me (single PC household). I'm not sure if it'll be allowed from our end yet, but I thought I'd take the temperature here before even starting that conversation.

    Any objections or concerns?

    I thought, for the first half of the headline, that this was about conversational icebreakers, and thought "That just doesn't seem on-brand for the Finns."

    It feels that way, but traffic collisions have been the leading cause of death for children in every age bracket my entire life. Trains don't have that problem.

    Obviously "alone in a car" is in theory a hell of a lot safer than "with a bunch of strangers on the bus/subway"
