Had Fun

Bought a car/micro-camper

Bought a van to do up as a micro-camper, and did a temporary rush job of that conversion myself while waiting in the list for the pro to do it.
Then the pro gave himself a health criss the week it was booked so I took apart my temp job and only got another temp kit-job in it's place.
Went out in it like four times during that and then broke my wrist and couldn't really use it or improve it.
Then had to take it apart even more to try
and figure out where the ad-blue hole was.
I will do a proper permanent job of the
floor and walls and ceiling and adjustments to the kit-job to make it the nicest it's been so far during the spring next year.
My assumption that the prior conversion
into a van and for wheelchair-access meant the microcamper conversion was half-done already turned out to be false.
If I buy a new one, it'll be one that has never been wheelchair adapted.
But it's going okay. Only scraped it once so far.
Fewer than aimed for or booked, but I broke my wrist and had to cancel the second half of the summer.
Went to a conference about money and computers and fringe decentralized social media and it wasn't as boring as you might expect and felt pretty much like a festival.
Exactly the target number! It's lovely.
Took 3 times longer than I'd hoped and
50% more money than I'd planned for really.
Still improvements to make but they will
be incremental and gradual over the coming year or two now.
It's been interest-only for 20 years so a big old lump sum payment that I never really expected to be able to make. Expected to have to sell and move at the end of the mortgage term.
But surprisingly the stocks ISA got high enough to pay it off after all, so I did that.
Cash-flow ruined by that and the bedroom but should start to feel a bit richer next year.

does vexriscv document the invariants it expects from the memory subsystem _anywhere at all_, or am i supposed to glean what the CPU expects from Scala code and their AXI/Wishbone/Avalon adapters?

As a chemist, I've been impressed by the improvements in environmental quality and related health benefits, thanks in large part to the EPA's diligence.
That is changing for the much worse:
The Environmental Protection Agency’s core mission is to protect human health and the environment. But in just one year, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin has done the complete opposite. He has carried out the wishes of polluters and unleashed a destructive and dangerous agenda that guts pro…

Enough is enough. EPA’s Zeldin must go.
Use your voice and tell this administration that we deserve better than poisoned air and water, more cancer and asthma, and worsening climate disasters. We expect our elected leaders to protect our health, communities, and planet.
