I'm number 2038 in line and my wait time is more than an hour...
This is on my bucket list, and I've tried for years to go. Looks like I"m signing up for the wait list, hoping for cancellations....
EDIT - got home from grocery store just as my time came! But my browser blocked the transfer to the ticket site and...sold out for 2026.
Sorry to hear that.
Iâve seen this site and years of construction on the web before.
This horizontal design reminds me of my 3D vertical design I did 45 years ago every time I see it. And I still have that piece.

Yup, 20° and no reason to go out for the next 3 days outside of starting up the car to shake the cold.
Just going to work on my computers for minor updates. Got an oil delivery for $535.00 ð³
I wouldn't worry unless the lights start flashing. Is the new season worth watching?
Now that you mention it...power went out, came back on and flickered before going out again. Maybe I can get a demogorgon to clear off my car of all the wet snow that froze overnight. Ugh...
I'd say it's worth watching Season 5. So far anyways. Same old same old, but I enjoy the show.
Christmas get together cancelled? Because of the predicted rain and thunderstorms? Ouch...how bad are the predictions?
I hear so many pros and cons for solar power (more cons than pros) that I stay away.
Not a good idea to be on the water with lightning around, not to mention the wind. And not a lot of fun to be having a barbie. The wind doesn't usually bother me too much because the reservoir is small and I paddle a sea kayak, but it doesn't go well for the people in tippy racing kayaks.
We got about 30 mm rain with much of it going sideways. That's a lot for here.
Australia is moving away from gas to all electric. Which is a bit weird because we still burn a lot of coal, which is worse. I don't see any cons for rooftop solar except the occasional fire when someone lets leaves build up over the panels and then lets the panels overheat. Still need to do more research on the best battery systems. One thing for sure, not Tesla. Aside from the CEO being a wanker, they are screwing customers by stopping support for the earlier generation of systems.
Congrats. Right now I'm waiting for predicted rain and thunderstorms. Kayak club paddle and Christmas get together is cancelled.
Last storm took my power out for 5 hours. I really need to get my act together to get a solar system and battery, while there is still a government rebate program. Got solar for the last house under an early adopter program where there was a decent feed-in rate and never paid an electric bill again.

Nope theyâre running on Russian LNG supporting the war effort.
Through 75 resellers, unfortunately.
The war effort is your endeavour, isn't it.
Shoving IT back and forth always has been the greatest killer of civilisations.
