If you have CPAP stories, please share. I'm on r/sleepapean already and you can get really into the weeds with your numbers and routines and even surgeries. I'd be interested to know what y'all have going on. ✌️

It's been a long journey making this but I'm nearly there! Just some more detailing to do and rework a couple of windows to keep the motif on all the edges. Really happy with the landscaping! #LEGO #AFOL #legocastle #LEGOCOMMUNITY

What was the first video game that scared you? It doesn't have to be a horror game. Maybe you didn't even play it -- plenty of ads freaked me out as a kid.

Just finished Arranger by @furnimatgames.bsky.social , I really enjoyed it! Been playing on my phone via Netflix games and it tickled my puzzler brain. It's a great variation on the block pushing/sliding navigation game with fun twists and a cute story too. play.google.com/store/apps/d...

Wow, wow, wow. @scott.hanselman.com always knocks it out of the park, but this is particularly powerful. Particularly relevant right now. Great talk!
