@caseyliss after this post and missing out, I setup changedetection.io at home and snagged a UTR when they got restocked today. So thanks!

@tankgrrl which one did you get? I’m in the market for one, but they seem to all be USB 3.

@dirtyoldtown I stole my first airline blanket this past summer and I wish I had started sooner. Small, surprisingly warm, very packable. You have a favored airline for blankets?

I’m seeing a lot of #adventofcode posts, but what I’d really like to see is #lentofcode in the spring, where people give up a framework they commonly use for forty days.

You know how some newsletters do a “just trust me” link? This is mine for today. Just trust me. Read this. https://www.albertbridgecapital.com/post/stay-in-the-game
Stay in the Game

This is going to be an uncharacteristic departure for me. This story is deeply personal, for our family, and for our oldest son in particular.

@chartier been a while since I’ve done any appliance shopping, but I think Abt is the gold standard for doing it in Chicago.

@simonbs gyrosco.pe https://apps.apple.com/us/app/gyroscope/id1104085053 does a lot, but their places does a pretty good job (looks like subscription required for places tracking, I think I got grandfathered in by being an early user). Arc https://apps.apple.com/us/app/arc-app-location-activity/id1063151918 is a more direct replacement, but I found it a battery hog. But that was a while ago, just redownloaded and restoring history to try it out again. Subscription required (2 month free trial). Bonus: has a Moves importer.

@chartier Good point about office building conversions and bathrooms. I remember working downtown and using bathrooms on different floors.

However, I think each store in the mall has their own bathroom. I could see a store front being a luxury residence. Old anchor store buildings would be subdivided and there’s probably enough space to run all sorts of infrastructure to support multiple units. Windows would be a problem though. Maybe just cut a hole in the middle for a courtyard.
