One of my new favorite things to do when I get spam texts of people pretending they know me is to tell them they owe me bitcoin and send them a lightening address.

I've been building stuff off and on for various purposes for a little while now. My brother is in the "discovery phase" of tearing his bathroom down to the studs and joists and finding out how many structural members have been butchered and impaired by previous owners. I recently joked with him. "if you want to make things stronger just do triangles, if you don't think it's strong enough do more triangles" The picture is the framing members of the 20ftx8.5ftx13ft tiny cabin I pulled from California to PA. I didn't use any engineered plans or anything for this, I used triangles. that's being glib I watched tons of videos of people building tiny houses, and hark! They all used triangles too. also just for good measure more triangles in other applications.

As I drive around in this very solid but rough in appearance 18 yr old car I sometimes think. "I should get a new car". I can certainly afford one. But just because I can doesn't mean I should. It works, it does whatiask it to. It has 238,580 miles on it and all I've ever done are oil,breaks,and tires. I think it's societal pressures that make me feel I should get a "nicer" car. So thinking of it that way makes me think of the Christopher Walken meme.
