Drone Day Chores

Listening to the EMS drone day stream as a family while we do Saturday chore hour <3

It’s great because you can run the vacuum or spray water in the tub or whatever and it only enhances the drone day experience.

Shifting images instead of shifting the world

Little unsolicited tip from my zine-making: if you want to add an image in a word processor without moving the existing content, set the image options to Wrap > In Background.

This screenshot is LibreOffice Writer, which can also auto-paginate booklets for printing 😘

Screenshot of a context menu in LibreOffice Writer, where I am about to select Wrap > In Background

I was reminded by @mayintoronto’s hilarious video of the day

Perfect baths forever

Spoonie lifehack: if you have one of those instant read thermometers for cooking, use it to figure out your optimal bath temperature and then flawlessly achieve it forever.

Many people suggest around 105F/40.5C but I aim for 110F/43C when I have joint pain.
