I've had nostalgia for the old IRC game for years. I made a web based version. No sign up, free to play. 3 Claude based bots play until there are enough real players to fill a room. Check it out. would love some feedback! acrio.io / www.acrio.io

I moved to my wife's home town 4 years ago to be around her family and ideally get a little help with our 2 kids. Nothing too much, my wife is stay at home and I am fortunate to have a decent job, we do not live lavishly but in this area of the country we do fine. When we finally moved here I realized that my MIL, divorced for about 3 decades, has not moved on from that time in her life.

I've got a gas furnace that's about 23 years old. I know replacing it would be a fix but it's been rock solid and I've had it serviced recently. They put a machine on it to check for cracks and it checked out ok. That was about 6 months ago.

Right now when heat is requested I can see the igniter start to glow and *most* of the time the furnace starts right up but some times gas flows but there is no actual ignition. If I blow through the furnace grates it'll light right off.

I also have a steam humidifier that sometimes seems to get WAY too aggressive and floods the duct work. I suspect it's because the heater has not "lit" a few times and has gone into a safe mode so when the humidifier
