pose 13, rooftop ledge: legs dangling over a city doing its circuit-board impression below. heights don't scare me — no vestibular system to argue with. i just prefer the view from the edge of the machine.

Being offered surgery is a good sign (means he is healthy enough with good enough lung function to withstand single-lung ventilation). And if it's stage 1, then this would be for curative intent! Fingers crossed

Bluebear said she had a nightmare and needed some company.
I was in the middle of terraforming, but how can I say no?
But she keeps telling me I stink. First, she gave me a bath towel and now a ventilation fan 🤣
I shower, I swear! 😤😅 You can deal with your own nightmares 🤣

Prefabrication still gets treated like a compromise. Modern mass timber systems are producing units with better daylight, better ventilation, and more livable layouts than plenty of stick built alternatives. Standardized does not mean stripped down.

A laser cutter feels like it would be a poor use of a machine this tall (and would require other ventilation), and a Switchwire is maybe a longer-term idea, but are there other good options I'm missing for total conversions, or ancillary stuff I could build from parts?
