I still enjoy clearing snow. Let me start there.
Today, I was "grooming" a day after a small snowfall. Just as I was almost finished, pushing the snowblower back to the garage, I didn't pay enough attention and slipped on a patch of ice.
I fell, wrenching my knee and straining my hip.
I'm sore.
I'm chagrined.
I'm feeling silly.
Pay attention to details while you enjoy yourself.
Be wiser than me.
I'll try to take my own next time.

What are your tips for managing that work-life balance in 2024 Are there any new techniques that you'll be trying
Hi all. Hope everyone is doing well. It's about to be 3:00 AM here, and I'm about to get some sleep, but before I do, I wanted to ask for from those who might know more about , creating , and than I do. My mom runs a and has a website she designed herself with drag and drop on . She owns the it's on and wants to move the site for a few reasons: it keeps getting hacked and she's getting a lot of spam and scam messages, customer service is poor, and GoDaddy isn't very with , so I can't help her manage her website at all. I've done some research and seen that other recommended no-code website builders are , , and , but I can't find a lot of information on their accessibility. I've seen posts on recommending hiring someone to design your website, but we don't know anyone who could do that, and our budget probably wouldn't be high enough. My mom isn't great with and really needs a no-code solution. Does anyone know about the accessibility of website builders like the ones I mentioned, or can you suggest another one that might work Thanks.

Also, and just because this is a huge trap for some, if your wedding band is made of Tungsten, that metal doesnt work with metal detectors. So if your out in the cold and wet, just take it off or wear gloves to prevent your ring from flying off and making the worlds most adorable and heartbreaking piff sound.
The single best piece of for working in these sorts of cold and forbidding environments, shoveling a lot of , is that layers of clothing is super useful. Also, take it slowly. There isnt a time trial. Plus, this is super good cardiovascular exercise. Lots of walking, pushing, heaving, so youve got elements of a treadmill, kettlebells, and very mild weights. Also, remove all your valuable rings on your fingers. I have lost my partnership ring twice. Yep. Metal detector rentals!

Important Dos and Donts When Writing Novellas -publishing -building
I spoke recently to a colleague about grant reviewing.
Advice for invited reviewers mentioned, among other, things, was:
Judge the merits of the proposal itself, and do not refer to information not detailed within the application. The proposal must be self-contained.
This is both good and bad advice.
Good in that proposals should be self-contained and appear sound, and I think non-subject-matter-experts can attest to that. That is, have the proposal's claims, methodology, and potential impact been substantiated with evidence and described.
Bad for external reviewers, who one can assume are subject-matter-experts, as we should be commenting on the merits of the ideas presented, referring to outside knowledge, and if the evidence presented is suitable. Not it's presentation.
One can present a research proposal well that is self-contained, but also miss out complete swathes of knowledge that make the research trickier to justify.

I need some here. I recently got gifted Darklight: Memento Mori, an out of print from 2018 or thereabouts.
I have the base game and two expansions, opened but unplayed. The cards are still wrapped, the models unpainted, etc.
The models are cool, the game got pretty good reviews, it's absolutely massive, it weighs several kilos and takes up too much space. I kind of want to paint and maybe play it, but I'm thinking I might want to sell it too.
My friend is immigrating from Canada to the US. In the process, she has to spend at least 3-10 days in Montreal for her interviews, and shes freaking out about expenses (mostly hotels and food), culture shock, and not knowing what to expect.

Some of the best advice comes from John Waters.
If you go home with somebody and they don't have books, don't fuck them. Collect books, even if you don't plan on reading them right away. Nothing is more important than an unread library. Life is nothing if you're not obsessed. - John Waters.
Something about this makes me happy, and I don't know why.
