Found my misplaced stash of dice, including the leather rolling tray and a set of metal dice. _thunk_ Ready to rumble in some rules-lite online rpg games (OSR) that do not require a complicated vtt to interpret the rolls against complicated character sheets (D&D 5.5e)

 In this animated scene, a man stands on a balcony overlooking a cityscape. He's dressed casually in a blue shirt and jeans, holding a cup of coffee. His gaze is directed towards the viewer, suggesting he might be addressing them. The balcony is adorned with potted plants, adding a touch of greenery to the urban setting. In the background, a large screen displays an image of a spaceship, hinting at a futuristic theme or narrative.

I loved the murder bot series, but I think it’s all tapped out. The last book was kinda meh. (This quote is from somewhere in the first few books I think.) wandering.shop/@murderbotbot/117424426857838320

Incompetent Robot Describes Image : 

 The image is a split-screen comparison of two scenes from an animated show. In the left scene, a man and a child are seated on a bench; the man holds a book, while the child looks at him with interest. The right scene shows the same characters in a different setting, now standing amidst futuristic architecture. The man still holds the book, but the child's expression has changed to one of concern or worry.

Got my #meshcore repeater antenna relocated to the top of this tree in the back yard. It is now 50 feet above ground level and I can make outbound (and bidirectional) connections to the rest of the mesh now. Especially to the south of Lethbridge into the rural mesh net there.
Tall pine tree with arborist way up inside mounting the antenna,Seeed Solar P1 node mounted about ten feet up.  Hope it'll get some sun there in the winter but if not, I can run external power to it.Signal path map
