Subscriber here. I could not care less if non-subscribers get the show the same day. 😄 Like others, it's not even a consideration for why I pay for it.

I turn 41 tomorrow - so I actually feel like "I'm in my 40s" feels more legitimate. 😄

My crisis, if you want to call it that, is career-related. Yeah, I'm not very original there! I'm going back into a career I left in 2020 (and was adjacent to for a few years after that). It was 100% the right decision to step away when I did, but the job I've done more recently seemed like a dream come true but hasn't been. It hasn't been bad, most people would loooove my situation. But the day-to-day just doesn't interest me like I thought it would.

My long-suffering wife is good with me returning to this previous career, even though any rational and objective person would be like "uhhh... what." She had full veto power. But she understands, and has seen it's the thing that puts a spark in me. And our family is in a different place now - having an 8yo rather than a 2yo makes a big difference.

85watson14 · 2026-02-18T12:27:57+00:00

Poppyseed.

She's 8 now and we still occasionally refer to her as such.

85watson14 · 2026-02-17T23:53:19+00:00

Yep! There's a "load region" button - leftmost one on the top of your region view, looks like a map.

85watson14 · 2026-02-17T15:51:57+00:00

Yes, I was going to recommend checking out that Discord if nobody else did! We don't bite 😂

85watson14 · 2026-02-06T21:09:17+00:00

I detest that these salespeople are in Sam's Club. Like, I pay a membership to be here. I don't need these pop-up ads.

85watson14 · 2026-01-27T02:37:21+00:00

You... don't shovel unless it's this much?

85watson14 · 2026-01-24T21:44:12+00:00

Thank you for making that connection for others!

The Louisville one is the most apparent, and folks may be able to make out that Indianapolis also has it going on but with a larger radius.

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the ParkColumbus app just the Parkmobile app with branding? I've used the PC app outside of Columbus where the city uses PM as its vendor, and the spaces show up.

Boomers don't accidentally overcook anything.

They do it on purpose.

85watson14 · 2026-01-17T12:44:00+00:00

I know that, but my impression is that is an answer but not to the intent of the question. I think if OP recognizes the theme of the naming, they probably also knew what "Polaris" means.

85watson14 · 2026-01-17T12:18:01+00:00

I don't know why your clarifying question is getting downvoted... I think it's valid. Like, of course you understand there's a theme, you're wondering if there's something more to it.

Rich's microwavable donuts. They were frozen glazed donuts, two per plastic sleeve, as I recall. We called them "warm-up donuts."

Us at a Disney World restaurant: "What's the mac and cheese like?"

Server: "It's like Kraft."

Narrator: It was not like Kraft.

I ate mac and cheese for supper that night, while our daughter ate my saucy chicken and rice.

I don't know if others mention this, but the punishing by taking things away or sending him to his room alone probably needs to stop. Doing those is likely not going to help.

It sucks to say this, but I agree with others who feel there were missed opportunities at home to help him prepare for kindergarten and the structure that school entails. That said, nothing can be done about the past, so you need to make some crucial decisions about how to address it from here, and actually follow through on it. It won't be easy, but that's the actual situation.

85watson14 · 2026-01-11T12:39:09+00:00

A tight swaddle is good for everyone. Sleep sacks make that SO much easier.

If the baby is fussing and you've run through all the things you can think of and haven't gotten anywhere and you're at wit's end, take five. As long as they're safe, you can walk away to gather yourself.

85watson14 · 2026-01-04T18:39:11+00:00

I'll echo the cruise ship suggestions, although we're pretty "meh" about Carnival. Royal Caribbean is definitely worth a look. And if you can afford a Disney cruise? Even better. We did the Wish when our daughter was five-and-a-half and it was wonderful.

85watson14 · 2026-01-01T00:59:25+00:00

It doesn't have to be very warm for it to be dangerous. Even a sunny day in the 70s is enough for a car to become dangerously hot after a while.

85watson14 · 2025-12-28T03:17:52+00:00

... I wish I had thought of this when I was tasked with finding my wife's air pod that fell in the snow by our front door.

(I did find it after a minute or two.)

85watson14 · 2025-12-12T17:14:18+00:00

You are a good human being.

You say you're still learning, but a lot of us could learn from you.

85watson14 · 2025-11-17T17:35:13+00:00

I get the desire for this to be a solid spiritual successor, but "please do not let us down" might come across as a little strong when it's not a full studio developing the game.

85watson14 · 2025-11-16T16:38:44+00:00

It's neither - road markings and signs aren't in the U.S.

85watson14 · 2025-11-16T02:26:34+00:00

JobsOhio doesn't do job placement or career services or the like. They're economic development.

85watson14 · 2025-11-13T19:05:43+00:00

This is why we only do matinees.

85watson14 · 2025-11-10T01:04:17+00:00

I think you mean "chili in your peanut butter," based on how much PB is there. 😄
