Sorry it took so long to respond. I just discovered this reply tab still open How was your summer?
Too true Guess there's only so many ways to change up jeans. Clothing tells a lot of tales Yep, those who can dig themselves out and then everyone on the street takes turns clearing doors and walkways for a couple of our really old neighbors. The acquisition of the snow blower a couple winters ago has been life changing for the sidewalks and driveway at least
Exactly, helps catch stuff I might've missed in the ingredients list. If they could make a version for restaurant food I'd be all set Always a nice surprise
No worries. I've been pretty busy lately so I didn't respond to message on LMBE for a while. My summer was pretty busy, lots of things to do at work, but so far so good.
Indeed. I wore an older pair of jeans to a paintball event and I think they still have some slight paintball stains. That's good that everyone in the neighborhood is willing to help each other. That snow blower sounds pretty powerful. I know there's some people who use leaf blowers but those only handle a small amount of area.
That's good. A service like that for restaurant food would be pretty neat, although I wonder if people would use it to steal other restaurants secret recipes. Indeed.
Ah, I had wondered where you had disappeared to
You get to carry a reminder of your paintballing adventure everywhere I guess Yep, it's our reward for putting up with the general nosiness of everyone on the street. That's an idea. Never thought about trying a leaf blower on the snow before
True, though if they don't include measurements they might be able to keep it safe Chain restaurants especially don't really have much worth hiding though
You know the Ninjago Crystalized Finale was good, but it could've been better... *last scene plays*
I haven't seen any ninjago since Hands of Time, but I'm just excited to see if we'll get to see the Ninja maybe tutor the New Ninja, and follow their adventures, or if Lego has another series/franchise lined up entirely.
Next I think I'll go through the wedge plates and the plates with funny shapes, I guess. It's a slog. Last week I went through some older pieces I had put aside, some needed a little scrub with soap and water. My parents' move settled that for me, though I still have instructions manuals and empty boxes at their place. Next time I'm there I need to organize things there better.
Well, if you ever get bored enough I welcome any suggestions. Otherwise I'll be letting you know when I get around to it.
It all boils down to an optimization problem
I bought some more used LEGO the other week, including a shogun minifig. Never had one before.
Sorting through left and right variations of wedge plates are sometimes the most annoying part for me. Still good progress despite the slight disorganization. I recently started thinking of bringing LEGO to my apartment, but I still don't know if I'm going to move to another apartment.
I'll see what I can think of if I have time. I think I can think of ways to make it smaller, but not exactly simpler.
Pretty much. What's difficult about this kind of debugging is that I can't step through the code line by line to see if it's working correctly, mainly because it's also controlling dangerous actuators that can't easily be stopped.
Ooh, interesting. A shogun minifigure from the older ninja theme from decades ago?
I got those wedges taken care of last weekend, finally, next I have round pieces, slopes, curved pieces, and technic pieces, then that box will be complete and I can move on to the weird pieces in the next box.
Yes, I hope I can stay here my entire time in this city, to avoid the annoyance of moving. I'll definitely want to hire a good mover when I leave, it would be a pain doing it myself (not to mention I don't think I know enough people to help me)
Definitely doesn't need to be simple, it just needs to work.
Sounds terrible. I'll take data engineering to real engineering any day
Yes, that's correct. In LEGO Universe you can get many of the shogun minifig pieces over in Forbidden valley, though some are hidden behind super tedious achievements
How was your summer?
