@mroutley thanks for reading! I’ll be putting out a more detailed overview of my own preparations tomorrow. It’s not the most fun thing to think about, but it really is worth putting the effort into sooner rather than later. Thanks again!

@softcow Thanks for the recommendation! This Is How You Lose the Time War has been on my to-read list for quite a while now. I’ll have to bump it up to the front!
