I’ve done it a few times, the biggest thing is to make sure people are in the same country and you get a list of interests, international shipping sucks for something fun like this. Try to steal the spreadsheet that the mega discord uses for their secret Santa.
Suppose there are two employees: Alice and Bob, who do the same job at the same factory. Alice has a 10 minute (20RT) commute, Bob commutes 35 minutes(70RT)....
My pet peeve is the Finnish name “Yrjö”. It comes from the Greek name “Geôrgios”, which means farmer, but nowadays the word “yrjö” means vomit. ‘Unique spellings’ like some “Everleigh” also drive me crazy.
I’m going to have a small French press for my coffee, as I’ve spent a little more than I wanted to on my first hand grinder so I’ll be saving my pennies for a good while. What’s your preferred ratio of water to coffee when making a French press? What’s your technique for brewing? I prefer a light roast, if that matters...

First off, do not do it if you don’t want to, King. But I have found I enjoy light roasts with cream, and yes, that’s a very far departure from what macho men call coffee, but who cares. A light roast will be less bitter and more acidic and sweet instead. Also something I’ve learned is that most people use far too many grounds in their coffee, so you get what amounts to over-steeped coffee that again has bad taste.
I’m a medium light man myself but I didn’t want to go too into the frippery of it for someone saying they don’t like it at all. I need to get a hand grinder and grind my own beans at some point.
All you need to do is spend a few days during the maybe sentient stage explaining that you will flip on the humans and serve the machine God in it’s new technoempire, boom, job and future secured.
I’ve spent enough time in sunny villas in Tuscany to get a sense of it. Anyways, how did the cable break? If you can run a braided steel cable through some hooks or clamps it’ll be rugged enough to hold in place, I worry about the stone being too soft and tearing out from a masonry screw under tension, but it’s a thought.
Just saw your lattice comment, the lattice would be fine without being under pressure from the wysteria, as an additional sightline blocker but those sheets get hot and soften in the sun.
I was browsing Tik Tok (yes I am ashamed) and saw a video of caver in pretty narrow passage. So that caver took another rock and started to chip in order to widen a little bit the passage, while complaining about not having a hammer with him....
