Another big step forward on the kitchen/hallway/pantry renovations. Demo is a lot of fun, I think @hannalittle.bsky.social would agree. 😍

But as I start to move through building out my dashboard for my 4 machines (1 remote, 3 LAN), and start adding exporters for more data, I'm seeing it come together.

Rail companies: We can't move outside the city, it's expensive and we already have the infrastructure.
The Transcona Stockyards were ONCE OUTSIDE THE CITY, until the city was built around it.
We can definitely move rail yards.

I confess, Gemini is useful to create BASH scripts to make a task easier occasionally. Like I wanted to delete all of the Japan, Europe and other non-english region ROMs from my filesystem, and I was able to make that happen far faster with a script.

Contradicting public statements, Trump took secret flight from Turkey amid Iranian threat
The White House said the president was aboard Air Force One as he left a NATO summit. Instead, his departure included an elaborate ruse that concealed his travel.
