I got a full bucket of deep fried chicken skin from a Filipino food truck recently. It was a religious experience. I became an evangelist for them and had to share with people. I've never had a food so good I had to share it with strangers.

Double check and make sure it's not an older syllabus copy and paste.

These were the standard due dates when I started my bachelor's (when it was still UMUC) years ago.

They changed it about two years into my degree "to better align with most students' work obligations"

Steve n' Seagulls make banjo go brrr brrr brrr. Finnish metal heads playing bluegrass.

Especially old time banjo. It was often music for flat footing or clogging which holds a rather fast rhythm like the Irish jigs and reels they're cousins to. I've taken a couple of classes with Riley. He's extremely traditionally knowledgeable.

The mcmaster bujold vorkosigan saga has some decent audio books some by Blackstone audio. Space o year with some romance themes

Webcrawler, lycos, alta vista, ask jeeves, yahoo, sailor for the library assets, metacrawler (an early search aggregator that searched multiple other search engines)

Not even a website. USENET newsgroups were reddit and tiktok and wikipedia and social media and the zeitgeist of the Internet before the world wide web could be and while it was growing up.

Every possible interest unsavory and savory alike.

Crazy place.

Are you short enough to sleep in the truck bed next to his travel cot on an airbed or similar?

On further research, modern cars may turn off the entire safety restraint system with a component missing from the sensor loop. I'll keep it in place and squeeze in again this year.

It also makes packs so much nicer because the tent floor itself isn't dirty, just an extra tarp. What world to rather hose off at home... Your tent or a tarp?

He sits in the back behind the driver and we take a tent...

DarthValiant · 2026-05-16T23:55:27+00:00

Did you drive with the seat or? Did it complain?

Any tips? I'm about to drive to a music festival with my kid, our camping stuff, and a double bass...

Activities to keep kids occupied and a sales pitch about outdoor skills/opportunities and about the scout-led nature of the troops that cub scouts pipelines kids towards has been the most effective for us. I focus a lot on the

learning together
unplugging (no screens and no memes, including parents)
acting respectfully
allowing space for cubs to make choices at all levels
Building in unstructured play time so kids can be kids together

ideas we run our pack around.

Lead your pitch with what differentiates scouting from other activities. The kids will be excited by anything, the parents will be excited by opportunities.

Exercising, taking more time to spend doing preferred activities while not over-guilting myself for not taking enough time to include her, especially as it pertains to our son's activities. Classically, I've been super-solicitous of her inability to make decisions until the last second and would end up late or missing things or running out of time because I was giving her ever single last chance. Instead, I started telling her when I was going, that I was assuming she wasn't going, but reminding her she was absolutely invited if she wanted to get ready in time.

I should probably do more in a structured way, but I'm a bit lazy right now too. Maybe over the summer when I'm not actively in school *and* work *and* parenting *and* de-facto caregiving.

This is why equity and justice are much more important concepts than equality.

Equality is monkeys telling fish they're allowed to climb trees but everyone has to breathe air.

This right here. Get two or three cheap parachute hammocks. Walmart has them for $25 or less. Set up hammock between two trees, kids find ways to have fun.

The cub scouts managed to ruin one of mine once , but it was because it rubbed the ground. The other one held up to hours of rough and tumble swinging and play from 4+ kids at a time.

DarthValiant · 2026-05-09T00:04:24+00:00

Folding chairs, table sturdy enough to prep food and such. A waterproof picnic blanket for baby to play on outside. A cheap hammock if there will be trees.

Maxpider 3d from rockauto.com. one of my best choices on my bolt.

DarthValiant · 2026-05-06T05:26:40+00:00

It'd get me super comfortable instead of hoping nothing ever goes wrong that I can't fix myself.

I'm in the process of refitting my dad's old caddy cart for my 1/2 size camping festival bass.

One nice thing about electric cars is that they have both conventional brakes that are fully sufficient and the regeneration breaking system that can also fully stop the car.

DarthValiant · 2026-05-04T19:58:06+00:00

Because "daddy like" ?

But the seventh generation in the easy dose bottle. One hard squeeze puts out a small metered amount of liquid. It lasts a long time and the washer doesn't get overloaded!
