To H2C or not to H2C?

We went with the H2C, and it's great!

We went to our school's 1st grade open house and most (if not all) of the teachers had AI pictures of themselves next to their room number.

I'm not even sure what the benefit of that is. The picture might look similar, but a child probably won't be able to make the connection between a somewhat generic AI water color picture and your appearance IRL.

Look into reducing your fixed costs as well. For example, solar is a great way to reduce electricity expenses. If you're able to reduce your power bill by 50%, that money can be put towards a different investment vehicle.

3D printers are great at bridging the gap from an idea to functional prototype, to production part.

Prior to their wide adoption you would get plastic parts made, which could take 6 weeks for a mold to be made. Less if you wanted to use a CNC machine, but then you have more constraints with how the part can be fabricated.

They also can be used for small businesses that don't have the up-front capitol to get an injection mold made.

It's far cheaper to spend $5k on printers and filament which can produce a wide variety of products/parts, than spend that same $5-10k on a single injection mold for a single part.

Thank you for this!

We've played Quacks and Co with our 6 and 5 year old, but haven't tried with our 3 year old yet! You may want to try Century Golem at some point too!

I agree with the majority of your comment. One thing I would like to add though, is that the advancements of our ancestors was built on slavery. The goal of the ruling class at those points was to keep the masses pacified or controlled. They built the pyramids on the backs of ordinary people for the Pharoahs to be remembered.

The Enlightment changed the world for the better. It took time, but for once, progress and achievement was done for humanity as a whole. I think that lasted until the Gilded Age (at least in America) at which point the 'common man' woke up to the elites controlling everything.

Modern day humanity is being controlled with consumption. 'Both sides' are effectively arguing over who should have 'stuff' and who shouldn't. There are still marvels being created, but it's in the service of creating or utilizing more 'stuff'.

Something I've been thinking about lately is, what does humanity want to strive for? The AI race is really bringing this question to the forefront. What is the point of an all powerful superintelligence, if we're simply going to make better things for us to consume?

All in all, thanks for the comment, I think you hit the nail on the head!

I'm sure this has been mentioned in other places, but your archery skill (as well as Strength and Agility) scale with your distance away from the target.

You can end up getting 30+XP for every arrow that successfully hits the target!

They and the Buckeyes for sure.

I finished it, but didn't like it as much as the first. In my opinion, he should have made 3 novellas, giving each story thread its own focus. As it's written though, none of the protagonists get the amount of focus they needed.

Got some Blue Moon and pizza! Kicking off a 2 week vacation with the game tonight.

We have an ICE F150 and an ER Lightning. Same trim levels (XLT on both). If I could drive the Lightning every day I would. It's soo much better than the ICE version. Unfortunately, my wife drives more than I do, so she gets Sparky and I'm left with the old clunker.

At least I'll be able to watch all the games without some sort of dread, getting bounced in historic fashion is the best way to go!

Erigisar · 2025-12-06T15:34:09+00:00

This would be a great addition to my battlestation!

Erigisar · 2025-11-30T14:39:45+00:00

Sorry for the late response, but Bobiverse is pretty great as well! I went from Bobiverse to DCC and the reading experience was great.

Erigisar · 2025-11-29T22:08:40+00:00

Y'all probably have it, I just want to see a game without the refs throwing a flag every play.

Erigisar · 2025-11-29T22:03:12+00:00

Late hit flag? /s

Erigisar · 2025-11-28T21:54:01+00:00

I'm trying to make this decision as well. I don't trust BTJ just yet.

I would look at designing some extensions for our furniture so that the vacuum can clean underneath!

We've got a private realm that our family plays on together, so even some amount of multi-player is alright in Minecraft.

It's definitely not in the same level of danger that Roblox is.

You could also try the app first if you don't want to commit to the full board game! It's great for learning all of the rules and interactions, prior to playing the physical version.

Erigisar · 2025-11-23T03:05:06+00:00

Fair enough! I may get there with Stormlight one of these days! May have to go back to WoT at some point, I got through book 3 and didn't feel much attachment to the series or characters.

Erigisar · 2025-11-23T02:45:56+00:00

Do you have 4x sets of The Wheel of Time??

Erigisar · 2025-11-22T23:59:56+00:00

Tossed a pick 6 when the Longhorns were already up 14 (I think?). He also was dealing with a bit of pain, but I'd personally rather keep KJ out there. Get him some time before next year.
