And here's everything I brought with me in those 2 banker's boxes, mostly back in their original boxes except a few where I've stuck the original in a closet and they live in their rebox. Note that's 4 piles total, each about as tall as a banker's box is long.

4 stacks of board games on a table. They take up a lot of space. I'm still not going to list them, sorry.

Here's what was in that tightly-packed stack on the end of the liddable banker's box. (Having one that closes properly makes them easier to stack in the trunk)

A stack of small boxes. 7 are white collector card boxes with a pasted-on image of a game box (or two), 6 are home-made tuck boxes. In total there are 16 games

As I continue the great game unreboxing, here are the two banker's boxes of games I took with me to camp. (The hole in the "tall" box contained Winter Rabbit and Mystic Curling Club; I put them away before getting the photo but you get the idea)

A banker's box. Inside are 5 stationery boxes with 11 game labels across them, and a section packed with smaller boxes that are not clearly visible in the photo.

A banker's box containing Photosynthesis, two pizza boxes with 2 games each, and Bomb Busters. There is also some empty space because I forgot to take a photo before putting away Winter Rabbit and Mystic Curling Club

Why I rebox games for travel in a simple photo. (New boxes this year: pizza boxes with address labels)

On the left, two pizza boxes with the labels for 4 board games. On the right, a stack of boxes 3x the height, two of which have about the same footprint, the other two a bit smaller in one dimension.

My spouse's co-workers won't go to this Market Basket because it's too crowded. This is what it was like at noon on Friday, July 3. Checkout was also fully staffed, no more than 1 person lines. A very pleasant shopping experience.

The back aisle of a grocery store. There are about half a dozen people visible. There is plenty of space for a cart. You will have to do some navigating but you certainly will not have to push/weave through a crowd.

Here's approximately what I'm thinking. You have two wedge-shaped gaps which could be pretty small if you can get the geometry right, and you could design the part that goes out to receive and cup the window (adding support). You also have a straight vertical gap but that part is easy.

Bhreacain is an excellent mattress topper.

A fairly large open cardboard box which clearly says it contains a Mattress Topper. The head of an adorable sleeping cat can be seen in the opening; the size of his head suggests the cat mostly fills the box.

Thought I was in thread view for a second and...it works?

"I think whether you react to this kind of thing emotionally with 'those things should be banned until rigorously tested and prescribed by a proper primary care physician' vs 'fuck it, let me take my chances' might correlate with whether you know what it's like to literally always feel tired"

Stick to eating the weeds and we're good.

Very normal temperature variation the last 40h here.

Line graph labeled "Porch Temperature", from 57F overnight May 19, peaks at 100F around 13:30, low around 70F the next night, then peaks around 92F just now

Timespinner true final boss Nightmare for you.

Why flying hurts so much if you have arthritis.

Screenshot from "Barometer Reborn", a pressure graph in mbar. There is a deep V dip from approx. 1010 mbar to approx. 890, and an even deeper gulf varying between 775 and 805.

Just sharing this juxtaposition for my friend @spacey3d.bsky.social

Screenshot of two skeets. The first is a great bird photo posted by @spacey3d. The second says "The amount of people whose cats were "helping " the capsule come down through the TV is making me so happy right now. I love cats and space so much."

Even on the log scale it's, of course, ridiculous.

We got a bit of snow and wind

View of a porch out a sidelight, the snow beyond is above the level of the porch, and snow has been blown partway onto the porch forming interesting ripple patterns

Ok what in the Tumblresque hell is wrong with you people? My comment now has more likes than the thing I was saying deserves more likes.

Coire is now instead hiding in the place I expected (and wanted) her to be today.

A Maine Coon's face peeks out from under a cat tree on lifts. The gap isn't much bigger than her head. She looks like she wishes you would leave her alone.

It snowed a little bit here.

The corner of a house and a rock wall. Plowed snow is piled up almost to the top of the rock wall, which is visibly level with the top of a garage door opening.

marcmagus@marcmagus· Jan 21

I need to adjust my time management practices to account for the fact that Coire fairly often decides, accurately, cuddling with her is more important than whatever I'm doing on my computer.

This is my baby Bhreacain. Despite his vacant expression he's curious, quite intelligent, and very friendly to strangers. He can also casually look at what you're doing on the counter.

A Maine coon cat sprawls in a medium dog bed, a couple of legs sticking over the side. He is looking at the camera with a very "no brain cell here" head-tilt expression.

Everything sucks right now but we need to remember there are beautiful things in the world and reasons to stick around another day, week, month, year. In that interest, if you see this, post a perfect album by a band that only made one. Mine is:
