Maybe the real social network is the friends we convinced to move to Mastodon along the way.

Are we sure *we* haven't all died and Chuck Norris is the only one who's still actually alive?

The power company finally generated our April bill! This is the first one with solar stuff on it.So for the 16 billing days of the new setup, we generated more than we used and got a credit of $6.79! 😄April, though, is the "forfeit" month when they zero out the year's credits so we also then immediately lost our $6.79 credit. 🙁But the final billed amount for those 16 days was just the (prorated) basic service charge.Damn near free.

Specifically, the total billed amount for those 16 days was $8.15 due to the prorated service charge minus a "monthly parallel generation cash out" which is some kind of computation of excess generation vs. used power which totaled -$1.23.So the final bill for 16 days of electricity was exactly $7.00. (after tax)While it hasn't been too cold lately, that's 16 days running our electric furnace/heat pump too.So, yeah, damn near free.

Wow I guess I never watched Eureka up to season 4. Had no idea it basically rebooted itself. Wild.

Tonight we had to say goodbye to Friendly. He was 16. We had him since he was 3 months old. 😢

Tonight’s movie night movie will be, “Kill Bill: Volume 1 (2003).” Revenge is a dish best served with a katana.

Kill Bill: Volume 1 is a bloody trip. We've of course seen a lot of movies that were likely inspired in part by Kill Bill, but not so many kung fu-styled movies where physics become optional halfway through a battle and there's a lot of those elements mixed into this along with a healthy sprinkling of anime. It was enjoyed by most, although one kid wasn't a fan - mostly because of the closeup of the mosquito.

@Gargron the neon sign, I think, was a background visual gag from earlier where there was a shop selling neon signs in the town.
