generally temperate, A little hot, a little cold, a little wet, a little dry.

On average I would say it's somewhere between below boiling and above freezing, depending on the season.

They say that immersion is one of the best ways to pick up a new language.

If it was everywhere all of the time, and you took advantage of things like community language learning events and language learning apps, you could become fluent in a matter of months.

After all, most people only need like a thousand to two thousand words to get by, So yeah, well, you may not be languidly discussing Proust during a bachanal with your neighbors by the end of the season, you should be able to identify stores and food items and discuss the weather and minor events.

I've been to several countries.

Translation apps are not perfect, but they can get you by in a pinch.

If it runs "fast enough" on a completely clean system that would cost the average user $1500, then companies assume that that means that it is a good product.

If you want better software, you have to give developers worse hardware to develop on, and more time to develop.

I was in second grade when they changed the way that Wednesday is spelled.

It used to be Wendsday, at least that's how it was spelled in the universe I came from.

Nothing has really made sense since.

I was at the thrift store the other day and I found a box for $5 for sale that had a piece of the Berlin Wall in it.

I don't even know why, but I had to snap it up, and now it's sitting on my little curio shelf.

I feel like for wooden windows all you would have to do is pull the trim and then you can remove the glass slider and sand it down so that it will slide correctly and then reassemble.

That definitely seems like something that could be done weekend warrior style with a couple of cheap tools and a few YouTube videos.

That reminds me, I also need to redo my fence.

I have 23 fence posts that will probably need to all be pulled and replaced, and then do all of the rafters and whatnot.

Yay

Let's see, internally I have some trim to paint, and I need to install the motion sensor LED lighted stairway paths on the internal and external stairs and install the tops for the steps.

I might redo the motion sensor under cabinet lighting because the modules that are there are 4,000 Kelvin and I would prefer 3,300 Kelvin.

After that, I need to clean and organize, I have one countertop to replace, A few doors to shorten to account for the new flooring that I just installed.

Then it'll be time to redo the bathrooms.

They're just going to get a light update with a new bathtub, new countertop and sink, new vanity, and painted walls.

Once that's done, I'll probably hire somebody to paint the interior.

Oh yeah, and I need to dig trenches and install the external 12 volt lighting for the driveway.

Lots to do. I could easily spend the rest of the year just doing all of that, but once it's done, the only thing left to do would be to like paint or replace internal doors so that they'll match the new trim and possibly rework the railing on the stairs to make them a little safer, a little more up to date.

Nothing that a translation app on your phone can't fix.

I wouldn't necessarily trust that. I have used Xfinity for a long time and my IP address often went months without changing.

If I want to scream into the void, I can do that anywhere and anytime, and I do not need a web server to do it.

To quote Ariel, I want to be where the people are.
