I’m a little surprised DC20’s +$1,000,000 kickstarter didn’t make the cut

It's just a list of the news items on the site this last week. There's no 'cut'. I'm sure once I've recovered from an exhausting UKGE and the ensuing crippling con crud, I'll manage to write an article about the latest $M kickstarter, and then it will be included in that week's digest. Right now I'm barely able to make it to the kitchen to make a cup of tea.

Ah! I’m sorry! I didn’t realize that was how these were assembled! Please enjoy your recovery
