For the record, I’ll gladly swap to Norway if anyone from there is dumb enough to come to this dumpster fire.

This was a forgone conclusion when they announced the new CEO was the lackey of the previous one.

The FB comments did not disappoint.
“Who do you think coined “Tar-zhay?”
Everyone up and down the threads going “Bring back DEI & Pride.” You know what you have to do, you just don’t want to.

I’m on a roll! I remembered to turn down the humidistat before the plunge last night.
For the last couple of years I’ve forgotten every time, and wound up with windows dripping from top to bottom.
This morning there was just a little frost on the bottoms despite the -15°F temps. Woo!

New curtains are up in the living room, and not just for aesthetic purposes (although the old ones were disgusting and left over from the former owners).
The new ones are a tighter weave. Much better insulation over the windows.
