Hey everyone I hope you're doing well! I need to be more active here. :V I've deleted some spam too, and banned some spam bots. They're not as bad as when I was using MyBB but yeesh.

Hope the rest of your week goes better than those tired couple of days, Glitch. It got me thinking about Houston after Beryl, when the peak hit around 2.8 million outages — a number that sounds abstract until one street stays dark while the next one over is back on. What stuck with me is how a 98% restored figure can still leave a lot of people out, since that share was for one utility's customers, not everyone, and some of the last properties simply couldn't take power back yet, as noted in this write-up on Houston's Hurricane Beryl restoration: https://power-outage.org/research/houston-hurricane-beryl-power-outages/

I'm doing good. How about you?  At least you took care of it and permanently banned them. Spam bots are pathetic and that same can be said for the people who created them in the first place. Yeah they're pathetic for sure lol. I'm doing good, hopefully you're having a good week so far! Yeah, I am. I was enjoying my two days off of work. My body has been tired and lazy. I go back to work tomorrow. Hopefully it'll be a smooth transition to return back to work. It's hard especially when you've been off work for a while.

That's absurd, that had to really suck for those who were affected by that! Hurricanes can do some damage though for sure, I live in the Midwest so we worry about tornadoes here.

I'm not near the retirement age yet. I won't be there for another good 30+ years since I'm only 36. Some people can retire early but I doubt I'll be able to. One of the people on second shift at my work is retiring and today is her last day.
