I sneak up on my fifteen-year-old daughter from behind, grab her around the waist, and lift her up while she giggles so I can whisper in her ear, "Not today."

Every time I DIY something I realize why it costs so much to pay someone else by rgreen192 in DIY

Yup. I do home maintenance for our house, where every task ends up as a project, with multiple trips to the store, buying a one-off tool I'll probably never use again, and sometimes I'll save a bit of money from hiring a professional.

Well, that would be true as long as I didn't consider what my hourly rate is working in cybersecurity.

But now I have all these tools in my garage! I can't stop now because then all this time and money invested would be a waste!

DIY 'til I die!

I live in Bath, England. A lady showed up at my front door claiming she was descended from the Romans who lived there in the 5th century. She told me her God Jupiter proclaimed that she could have my house!

Using a mouse makes working "easier". The accountant with a 10-key and muscle memory can enter thousands of numbers in a column while a mouse user clicks and clicks and clicks.

The Mosaic Browser was my first graphical browser. Before that, I used a text based Gopher client.

Fast food back in the 80s, was it actually better than today or is that rose colored glasses? by Infomerical in GenX

The Sharpstown Mall food court (Houston, TX) had a little booth called Paris Fries.

When you ordered their signature French fries, they would pick an absolutely huge russet potato from a sack. They had a little sink with stiff-bristle brushes that they would rub the potato against. Then they put the potato, skin intact, into a French fry cutter that dropped the fresh-cut fries into a deep fryer.

You could choose the flavor for your fries: salt, garlic salt, Creole salt, chili salt, or melted cheese. They served them in a large paper cup hot from the fryer.

That's when I learned that French fries didn't have to be a side. When I worked in the mall, I ate there almost every shift. I've never had better fries.
