Ok, in a few minutes we get to go and play, ie clear the snow off the deck and stairs. While I'm out there I might straighten up the shed a bit too⦠Pay no attention to the fact that its -8°C feels like -13

that's him
he is extremely tiny for a centaur (round. but not tall) and can fit on a normal loveseat
Love or hate his(?) style, Lerra does do some great pics and stories, and I particularly love this one, what happens when you decide to make an AI your dom?
And honestly something I should've done a while ago.
Just got my Tello sim, sure, my phone can use an e-sim, but just do a search for problems with those. Yeah, I think I'll stick to my physical sims thank you very much. Any how, what comes now is that once my old phone is charged, I'm going to move my Verizon sim back to that one, and put the Tello in my current phone and port Vik's / @Vik-Thor / Lirleni Hankeshe number to it. I'll prolly have to update my phone number with all my gig apps, maybe tweak a few other things here and there, but we should be up and running by the end of the weekend (Monday), just in time for work.
Honestly I should've done this a while ago, I've had his number sitting at Verizon paying... I'm not sure how much a month, in case I want to recover his phone. Frankly I don't think I'm going to be able to recover it, I can get his iCloud through the courts, and we're going with that as we have some other matters that will require the courts for any how, so might as well save the money. Plus according to Verizon I only use around 12G of data for work, so we'll see how well a prepaid works, unlimited data only because its like $2-3 more than a 15G plan. If it doesn't work, I can just swap the SIMs around, and try again maybe with someone else down the road.
I don't think switching from Verizon will really save me that much, the package deal I have going is saving me on Internet and streaming, and I'll prolly lose both of those if'n I leave, so that'll likely eat up any savings I have, but still, I hate spending money unnecessarily. Oh, and there is a prepaid version of the 5G home internet, so that might be a cheap alternative, that just leaves the streaming service, and... Ehhh, not sure I need it. Besides, π΄ββ οΈ is always an option.
So, in a couple hours, assuming I'm not napping (tired from clearing the driveway), we'll start the process and see how many things break.
@Vik-Thor / Lirleni Hankeshe Well, so far so good, I'll give this to Tellos, the porting process is easy and amazingly fast, the successful port email came only seconds after the porting start email.

@Muse I think it sorta snuck up on people, I remember the true independent stations slowly disappearing whether it was a syndication group or becoming part of a smaller network like UPN which I don't think most people noticed until it was too late.
The Trump administration is planning to use artificial intelligence to write federal transportation regulations.
I'm sure things will work out fine. Right? Right?
'Most of what goes into the preambles of DOT regulatory documents is just βword salad,β one staffer recalled the presenter saying. Google Gemini can do word salad.' propublica.org/article/trump-aβ¦
The Transportation Department, which oversees the safety of airplanes, cars and pipelines, plans to use Google Gemini to draft new regulations. βWe donβt need the perfect rule,β said DOTβs top lawyer. βWe want good enough.β
So on my third try of selling Vik's comic collection, and this one might happen, yay. That'll make some room, and once @RS, Author, Novelist, Prosaist chooses any books he wants, that'll start going, and we'll get some space.
Its a little frustrating how much stuff there is to clear, but there's a story there. We had some low points in Phoenix, I'm undoubtedly somewhat to blame for that, I've never been great at sticking to a job, and I tend to create chaos. That said, I would work more if'n I could, sell off anything I could, I mean I really have never been attached to things, people, etc, particularly things since my bankruptcy, resulting in a house where maybe 20% of the stuff here is mine. Yeah, really, and that was before his mom passed, and he pulled in a lot of her stuff. Need to get someone from the family to come get a lot of this stuff, between just photos, quilts and her birds, I'll prolly have enough to fill a minivan
With that in mind, lots to sell here, and a great desire, a very great desire, to down size. Still considering the future, both location, likely Illinois, though there's a slim chance of Maryland, and likely building a house, maybe a tiny home, I mean I already know I don't need more than 900 sq ft, and could do as little as 600. An estate sale isn't really an option, companies like that really expect volume and/or stuff people want to buy... A few collectibles, no antiques, and Ikea furniture at best isn't really their thing. So, we'll be at the first three flea markets at Sunset Hills community center, those are... March, April and May I think, I've already paid for my spaces, but I do need to touch base as I haven't received an info packet or anything like that, but it might be too soon, we'll see.
So yeah, really clearing a lot out of here, not because I didn't love him, but because I need some space. Honestly, we were two train wrecks holding each other up, I started taking care of the finances because he just basically operated on a make and spend model, I made things work while he did what he wanted, on the other hand, I couldn't be trusted to stay at a job which didn't help, so he was the breadwinner.
I will say I'm loving this day and age, I do the type of work I like, without the constraints of a typical job, which fits my instability well. These days I basically do the same job as UPS, but using my phone, my car, and a gig app, and come and go as I please, if'n I get tired of deliveries, there's plenty of remote work out there. Or I'm thinking of getting a 3D printer and making things, find an artist so I can start a series of cryptid traffic signs, lots of ways to make money out there thanks to tech.
