  5. dreamrealWorth noting: I still build lego. if anyone happens to find one of the old Y-wing sets from the 80s or thereabouts, I'm unboxing that damn thing and building it. I have one of the new Y-wings built already - it has to be the old one, which looks better to me... but they're impossible to find because star wars ignores the y-wing 'cause they're dumb.
  6. nevet[ByteCode.News] FreshBooks Tools - CLI and LLM integration with FreshBooks invoicing - https://bytecode.news/posts/2026/11/freshbooks-tools-cli-and-llm-integration-with-freshbooks-invoicing
  7. bluedreamreal: https://brickset.com/sets/year-1999?query=y-wing
  8. nevetLEGO 1999 | y-wing
  9. bluedo you mean tihs?
  10. bluethis is the earliest y-wing on that website
  11. dreamrealI don't think so, there was another one, way older I think
  12. dreamrealit was incredibly detailed, if memory serves
  13. blueif you can give me the model number, it'll be helpful
  14. dreamrealhttps://brickset.com/sets/10134-1/Y-wing-Attack-Starfighter this one, I think
  15. dreamrealSo definitely not older at ALL
  16. dreamrealand not available to rational people either, c'est la vie
  17. dreamrealblue: with the freshbooks-tools I could actually put freshbooks integration into nevet as an operation :D
  18. dreamrealnot going to, but I COULD
  19. blueWOW.
  20. bluedreamreal: "New, inner bags sealed, box opened"
  21. bluewilling to compromise on that? Can shave off a few hundred dollars.
  22. dreamrealI'm not spending money on it right now, unfortunately, but I wouldn't sneer at the opened box, no. I'm not a collector, I'm a builder.
  23. bluenoted
  24. dreamrealAnd this is why I like holly mathnerd as a writer: https://hollymathnerd.substack.com/p/one-line-vs-two-pages
  25. bluethat "as a writer" is important, dreamreal. otherwise you'd need to have a word with your wife
  26. dreamrealI guess? I mean, I like a lot of women, I have some very good female friends, but I'm also very very very firm about the friendzone
  27. blueI don't have female friends, I don't believe in that
  28. dreamrealI'd rather have a really uncomfortable early conversation that says "Look, I'm not interested in you romantically, just to clear the air" rather than a late one where people were unclear
  29. blueI LOVE women. that's why I stay away from them if they're not my wife
  30. dreamrealI do, too, but I maintain silos very firmly
  31. blueconsider that a form of defensive programming
  32. dreamrealThere're certainly a lot of conversations that don't happen with women, in any way
  33. dreamrealand my wife knows about them
  34. bluethe one thing you should learn in life is, do NOT trust yourself. implicit trust in yourself leads to all kinds of bad places
  35. dreamrealin holly mathnerd's case, I know her real name and roughly where she lives and that's about it, apart from what she writes about
  36. blueyou need guardrails AGAINST yourself. this is a hard pill to swallow for most people
  37. dreamrealShe is not a friend, just a writer who i think writes well
  38. blue*nod*
  39. dreamrealyes, I do not trust myself either, AND I have accountability for it: I have multiple friends who've been instructed to inform my wife if I step out of line and don't tell her myself
  40. blueI also generally do not put myself in situations where I'm alone with another female, known or unknown. I just don't LIKE it.
  41. dreamrealso far: have not told her myself AND she's received no calls, the knowledge that the sword of damocles is there is actually quite effective IF I am tempted at all
  42. blueit kind of sounds incredibly jewish.. and it is, in a good way, for me
  43. dreamrealyeah, well, that's the whole fence of torah thing
  44. dreamrealit's not a bad way to be
  45. dreamrealsorry, power just blinked here
  46. blueyup, that's good (the sword damocles)
  47. blueoh wow
  48. bluesword of damocles*
  49. dreamrealthe joy of living way in the boonies :/
  50. bluebelieve it or not, it happens here as well
  51. bluenot very often, but it does
  52. bluelight flickering and stuff
  53. dreamrealthe GOOD side of it is that I live in sort of a flood zone but my house is at the top of a hill, so we'd have to have 70 feet of floodwater to even be amused at the thought
  54. blueheh, 70 feet, I think that's enough to ward off any kind of ice melting shenanigans
  55. blue20 metres-ish?
  56. blue(I have a *0.3 formula in my head for feet to metres)
  57. dreamrealyeah, it's quite a distance :D hilly area, you know?
  58. blueya
  59. blue20 metres is a LOT
  60. blueyou'd need a big butt tsunami to outdo that
  61. dreamrealand I live three hours inland, so...
  62. blueI do conceptually love the Carolinas I must say. I really think that's the place to be if I ever moved to the states (independent of you being there)
  63. bluethe good right spot between south and north, both culturally and weatherwise
  64. blueI have said that before but my favourite American fantasy author, Robert Jordan, lived in Charleston
  65. blueof course you called it in honour of a British king, but that's forgivable, you did oust that moron (or another of his line, I don't recall, King George?)
  66. dreamrealWe didn't oust anyone, we rebelled against George III
  67. bluewell when you were done with him he wasn't in possession of most of his NA assets
  68. blueI think I'd like to move to Canada and I still dream of Australia/NZ, but all of those places would make me a subject of a king, that irks me to no end personally, thought it really shouldn't
  69. bluethough
  70. blue*
  71. bluethe thought of serving a king is annoying though, even if it's just nominal
  72. dreamrealCanada's a lot less pleasant to live than it was. Decent people on the whole, but their government is retarded.
  73. dreamrealSo is America's, but eh
  74. bluethey should have elected poilievre, he's a decent guy
  75. blueprobably attached himself too strong to Trump when Trump was hating on Canada, and therefore lost..
  76. dreamrealTrump has a lot of own-goals
  77. dreamrealthey add up
  78. blue100%
  79. systemfaultYeah, Canada isn't as great as it used to...
  80. systemfaultMy wife's an immigrant and she was the first to tell me about the enshitification of Canada.
  81. systemfaultIt's still "fine"... but...
  82. blueya, too many progressive policies
