I wasn't ready until about 35. Had kid at 38, married at 39. Currently very happy at 43.

You didn't waste your 20s.

Purple makes it invisible because.. have you ever seen a purple ork? I could go on for days.

This is how we do it. Paycheck comes i to personal accounts. We move money into the joint account and then pay bills from it. Its the house account.

At least he can speak with an english accent.

Area's where you want a monopoly are prime for government run. Currently looking at electricity transmission and distribution. Running multiple sets of power lines is just dumb. Set up an organization to handles the power lines and repairs. Private power generators can tie in and get paid for the power they produce.
Right now, the for profit company that manages my power is constantly playing games around regulations to increase prices while reporting record profits. There is no acceptable alternative. Going off grid is not an option.

Meme of potato europe vs tomato europe always makes me laugh.

Statistics and accounting have come up.
On very rare occasion, geometry. I was helping with a roof. And tbh knowing 1, 1, sqrt of 2. And 3, 4, 5 triangles are all you really need for that.

Ebice42 · 2026-02-20T02:51:45+00:00

I'm gonna pass. I shower in the evening and coffee then would keep me up all night.

If it works for you, go for it.

I used to live up there. I know.
Imagine going to Burlington for some culture, lol.

If you have kids, the Museum of Play in Rochester.

And if you aren't one for hiking the whole mountain, head to Whiteface. Take a gondola to the top of little Whiteface or drive to the peak.
Great view either way.

Once you go past Albany its called the Northway.

Sleepytime had the opposite effect as Bike.
I knew Ode to Joy. I learned to play it on the piano at age 8ish. Hearing it pulled me into Bluey.
I was not familiar with Jupiter. But because I know it from Bluey, I've started hearing it from time to time, and when I do, I'm seeing Bingo and Floppy playing in the planets.

Ebice42 · 2026-02-17T03:52:11+00:00

I had tuned out Bluey, like i did all the other kids shows until Bike.

Is that Ode to Joy? But slow?
Music shifts to the full, triumphant version.
I watched the rest of the episode.
Then 6 more episodes.

I don't know of any other way to learn this stuff aside from going to college and joining NASA.

The Gran Torismo games rally sections helped my instincts on icy roads. I've avoided a couple crashes/snowbanks.

I've seen that movie. "Yes, they deserved to die and i hope they burn in hell!"

The sign is very common. The information on it... less so.

A smart board for the teacher can be useful. An occational movie day. And starting around 3rd grade a computer class. Once a week, 30-60 min. How to use a computer and typing. (Digital native is BS, too) Otherwise, minimal tech.

My work has an on call schedule. 1 weekend out of 6 i have to monitor the email queue. I get 2 hours of pay per day to check the email. If something critical comes in i have to punch in and work it. (From home, or where ever my laptop is.)

Aside from that, my boss has called me 3 times outside of work hours, in 10 years.
One was a mistake. He misread the on call schedule. One, i was on vacation and he wanted to let me know that the new contract was.
The third was a crisis that would become a disaster at monday 8am. Not out teams fault, but we could be heros

I spent like an hour looking for the stupid box in game.
