Ok, blue-skying a bit here…

There’s this YouTube channel I check out occasionally. The YouTuber built a “wireless desk” where everything from the lamp to the mouse, keyboard, and even a coffee warmer were wirelessly powered.

Wireless Powered Desk

The core of it was a large induction loop built into the desk’s perimeter, paired with some surprisingly compact receiver dongles. Some parts required deeper DIY, like opening up the mouse and inserting a small receiver, but overall it was cool

Scaling that concept up for an entire house is a wild thought... but kind of exciting!

You're describing retirement. And, boy have I spent a LOT of time thinking about what that looks like.

A lot of people have lists of things they'd do, see, learn, or be. I had one too, but it kept fucking changing depending on where I was in life and what my interests were.

Any list I had always felt restrictive. Here's where I ended up instead...

I would put my energy and attention only on the things that I want to put them on at any given time.

I guess some call that living in the moment, but I call it retirement.

Router with a round nose bit. Not sure what size bore you're aiming for, if it isn't too massive you could make short work of the carving

For some reason, I thought it was codified in...I'm not based in the US so I could very well be off about that. I guess it's too far along in the takeover for there to be any kind of practical resistance to any of this part

Did I miss something that walked back the whole 'separation of church and state' thing?? There's been so much shit flying around lately, and so many flies buzzing around carrying that shit...

Not just you! But it wasn't until I saw a quote from John Wayne that it registered for me...

Talk low, talk slow and don't say too much"
