You can just lure them inside with wet food!

!

We saw this absolutely SCRUNGLY little thing with a paw on our back door, but she bolted when she saw us. I lured her out of hiding with some wet food and a bowl, giving her small amounts at a time and gradually moving it closer to our back porch. She was entirely too young and hungry to be outside (she ate 2 whole cans of wet food at once. Even our fattest of cats are satisfied with one), so we made a plan to trap her. The trap turned out to not be necessary as she got bold after a week and let me sit with her and even pet her a bit! She did get startled and slash me up a little bit (rabies shots are ASS) but she is a sweetheart. Since she kept coming to the door we decided to quarantine our other cats and open it and lure her in with food. It eventually worked and we have her quarantined in the bathroom for now. Sadly we already have 5 cats and their politics are already complicated enough, but we found her a forever home with someone who will spoil her rotten.

This is roughly the harvest every other day. Already have a gallon freezer bag full. No complaints here.

Carrots and peppers were kind of a wash last year so we just let the strawberries run rampant. They're happy as hell and the fruits are have gotten bigger as the plants matured. The left side was clear enough to put beans where the tomato plants used to be. I was planning on skipping tomatoes as well because they got absurdly large and bent their cages, but some of the fallen ones must have seeded because we had 3 little tomato plants shooting up. They're in separate pots now and hopefully that'll be more manageable.

My Feldon deck isn't my best, but it's by far my favorite to play. Every time I do, I discover new fiddly interactions I hadn't even considered before. It's capable of getting out of the craziest situations with enough mana and shenanigans.

I recently threw in karn the great creator to test it out. Ended up wishing up rings of brighthearth from my binder, but it played so well in putting it in the main (not sure why I didn't earlier, honestly). My dilemma is I don't have many other artifacts outside the deck that I would really want.

Main question/TL;DR: what are some situationally good artifacts that could go in a mono red artifact/graveyard deck.

Decklist if you're interested. Not up to date but close enough.

Heading to Bonemass. Realized we were surrounded by plains but noticed a small break in the land. Thought it might be a gap between two separate islands. I was wrong. By that point I had no choice but to rip through it at full sail and pray. I did not die for my mistake, and it was difficult to impress upon my friend just how lucky we were to not have been murdered.

I picked up Ace Combat 7 recently because I heard project wingman was inspired by the series and PW is genuinely one of my favorite games. I finally figured out how to make my hotas work with AC though I really hate the difficulty in setting bindings, but it's done so whatever. My current issue is that when rolling, the plane begins rolling first and then the canara follows after a split second. I find it mildly disorienting and would love to fix the camera to the plane's orientation. Is there any way to do that?

(Also the lock on distance being 2km is incredibly painful after PW's 9km lock range, but I understand I'm gonna have to suffer a bit before I can upgrade stuff)

I knew of thin mints. THICC mints caught me by surprise.

Dipped my toes into Linux maybe 10 years ago. It was awful and turned me off of it. Also the fact that I occasionally have to deal with some bespoke bullshit distro at work that does nothing that literally any tutorial I google says it will.

But I finally gave it another shot. Girlfriend got a smart TV. I got sick of ads. I had an old Intel nuc laying around that I bought for a dedicated DDR machine but it didn't go great, so I stuck dietpi and pihole on it. Was still a mild clusterfuck and had dozens of open tabs trying to figure out what was breaking, but by 5am I had pihole configured and running, a plex server set up, and a desktop. Today I got the ftp server up so I can move stuff into plex without messing with flash drives. Still haven't figured out desktop through ssh but that's a later problem.

Bad news is youtube ads come from the same domain as the videos so pihole is useless there, but I'm still having fun and very excited about what I can do with a cheap piece of hardware I thought was useless. For the next project I'm thinking maybe trying to de-google my Google home minis and have a locally hosted assistant, but that would probably take a ton of research beforehand.

Suggestions, encouragement, and harassment welcome.

Truly love the Mandalay for traveling. It's insanely zippy in supercruise making for quicker transitions between stars, the jump range is bonkers even before engineering, and the thermal efficiency means you don't even need to clear the star before jumping. Also it's unbelievably stable in SCO, and maintains overcharge for way longer before overheating.

I still love the 'conda because it does everything, but it's a fuggin' boat and flies like one.

Tree was up for a day and it already has its first resident.

Was gaming. He made himself comfy.

Been going to power wreckage to scoop up escape pods for my weekly missions. This pisses off the enemy faction and the start shooting. I shoot back, I get a bounty. What gives?

Edit: I'm a moron. Enemy power system.

So I've been on the engineering grind. Basically running around doing what I can, adding things to a list when I hit any snags. Yesterday I got an invitation from Lei Cheung who I need to finish out my shield generator. He wanted me to trade in 50 markets. I had 20something out of 50, so I put it on the list for later. In my reviews of what I needed today, he is totally unlocked. I did not do any significant trading in the meantime, and I most certainly did NOT give him 200 gold. I'm not gonna look a gift horse in the mouth, but what the heck? This is also not the first time this has happened with engineers.

Deploy the jaegers!

Carrots are NOT doing great. May have failed to thin enough.

On the plus side, beans are THRIVING.

First garden project so we didn't know quite what to expect; thinking we should have given them a little more space. They've completely grown over the basil and in the past 2 days shot out of the netting. It's exciting they're doing so well though.
