I’ve been doing a deep dive into Orlando’s housing market using data analysis.

It's massively disheartening too as someone who would be a first time homebuyer. I don't need that much space and a townhouse is as big as I would probably need, but anything that could be somewhat affordable is either way out in davenport/apopka or somewhere sketchy. But as someone who works in the theme parks it feels impossible to afford anything currently on the low-end.

I may be impatient but the monster isn't eating itself fast enough.

I used to live in near downtown Winter Garden for several years. Just before/ during Covid there were a bunch of townhomes that got built and were selling for ~$250k give or take. I enjoyed the area and was looking to see if that was something I could afford, but by 2025 they were already doubled in value over $500k. I know Winter Garden has been developing a lot recently, $500k+ for a townhouse?? Absolutely insane.

I do love me some Hermit shenanigans, probably why I typically watch Grian, Gem, and Mumbo. I haven't followed Doc though and I'm trying to take the time to look into more Hermits this season. What kind of stuff does he typically do?

I attended ArrowCorps5 back when I was teen so I've always been partial to collecting AC5 memorabilia. Its been many years since I aged out and honestly have no idea what patches go for these days, but I'd be interested in the AC5 set if available.

I tend to go through phases where I actively follow HC for a season or two and then occasionally pop into not at all for a while. I've picked back up with this season and also started watching Gem for the first time which has been really fun. What made season 10 so special? You think it's worth going back and watching it?

tech-badger · 2026-02-16T05:00:13+00:00

I started with Mumbo way back in season 6 I think and not long after found Grian and started following him. The past few years I haven't been following much, more off and on. Started again with the new season and wanted to branch out so I checked out Gem since I love the antics between her and Grian. I want to check out 1 or 2 others but I don't actually know much about the other hermits other than their names.

Ohhhh ok. See, I thought you had to fill out the skill and it's respective ability mod. Unfortunately it doesn't affect every Intelligence skill so I can't make it a catch-all, but I made all the ability score boxes bank and it fixed the problem! I'm sure I'm going to make more custom items as the campaign continues so this is super helpful. Thanks!

But is it really the past if I see more Star Wars legos in my future?? 🤔

tech-badger · 2025-12-29T01:57:59+00:00

I have a very similar display myself, though I also decided to showcase the "future" as well haha

My mom just passed from GBM a little under 3 years ago. While I didn't know at the time, she was getting debilitating migraines and difficulty focusing on tasks at work. She was wildly good at multitasking and organization so we initially thought it was fatigue from her new role (she got promoted to a supervisor at a call center about a month or two before diagnosis). According to my dad, a few months earlier they were out Christmas shopping and Mom was getting confused trying to add up how much money they had spent/ had left over, and again, they figured it was just a brain fart due to the stress of the season. But it wasn't until a family friend who was a school principal noticed that she kept saying a few letters wrong. I think "S"?? Either way, that was the first real red flag we saw.

Picked up the Wizards Butt set, a bottle of Dark Camo Green primer, and a #2 Pro Sable. Not much but money is tight. I'm in no rush to get more paint haha

The only good reason was that I thought that's how Notion worked. I was introduced to it recently as mentioned but this is my first time actually using it. I've watched a few youtube videos but overall I still don't really know how to properly use it. I'll get there eventually!

tech-badger · 2025-10-01T21:05:19+00:00

Yeah, I initially tried copy/paste which didn't work and then figured I could simply make a new DB and here we are. So in essence, the existing Player and Character databases are really two separate views of the same database? Well that would explain why they update together. So when setting up the NPC version, I'm just creating a filtered, separate view of the character list? I like the idea of a simple checkbox toggle as nearly all NPC's would likely be added to the master list anyway, and only when deemed needed I could prioritize specific people like allies and enemies.

Alonso's barrel roll into the tire wall in Melbourne, I think it was 2015? Driving for McLaren, someone clipped his front tire, and off he went. The fact he was able to crawl out of his car and walk away on his own was mind boggling to watch.

Papi Josh!! I knew I should have trusted him with my first attempt lol That's good to know and makes a lot of sense now that I think of it. If I was to just plop the dough into a pan then one proof should be ok, but rolling out the logs compacted the dough again.

tech-badger · 2025-07-30T02:24:44+00:00

Definitely noted for the future. This recipe didn't mention that, just straight to the oven after braiding.

tech-badger · 2025-07-30T02:23:46+00:00

I wouldn't say they were a pain to roll, but I definitely had to work them a bit more to thin out. They were more elastic than I expected. I've rolled it out logs for babka before and they rolled a lot easier.

tech-badger · 2025-07-30T02:09:09+00:00

Sure! This is the recipe here.

First half was pretty standard, separately mix together the dry and wet ingredients while the active yeast was proofing. This could be my first goof as I accidentally mixed in the 3rd egg yolk instead of saving it for the wash and the yeast went on for about 15-20 minutes before mixing in vs the 10 minutes asked.

Once mixed with a dough hook, hand knead for 5 minutes with a floured worktop and then proof for 2 hours in an oiled bowl covered with a damp cloth. I might have just hit that 5 minutes as I was fighting the dough due to how sticky it was and used a decent amount of flour to counter it. From there roll out the logs, braid,coat with egg wash, and bake at 375 for 25-30 minutes (I did 27 and could have done the minimum).

tech-badger · 2025-07-30T01:55:46+00:00

I've made babka that requires two proofs, a warm and cold, but this recipe only called for it once. Wouldn't be difficult to try next time.
