So many things discourage us from keeping things forever and doing what's financially the right move.

When my fluorescent bulb broke that goes over the sink, I actually didn't think I could get a replacement. Well, good ol' PA, one can. It's not banned here. Replaced it. Got a 4 pack on amazon. It dawned on me, I won't live long enough to use those 4 bulbs.

Perhaps you can post on a new book you're reading, a new hobby you're taking up or about random finds as you finally get around to cleaning out the..., or your most recent adventure?

Anything to keep your windmill alive.

Please keep comments polite.

Interesting content at https://chromeunboxed.com/google-is-making-https-the-default.... It sounds as if roughly in a year Chrome will not (by a default setting) open a website that isn’t HTTPS

A few folks, including myself, in this thread:
