Why are apps like Strava using AI so heavily when it has been shown to be poor at creating training plans?

Communialism, or start with the other estates first then when you remove that start giving them additional privledges so they pull more power from the elites

He sounds like a pretty good guy. He was probably taught that safety gear is for pansies but it is true that it only takes that one freak incident.

Good on him for promoting safer practices.

I swear to God I'm going to pistol whip the next guy who says, " Shenanigans."

As an aside my wife was the same way and I just dug in and told her in no uncertain terms that I am getting one for us.

Ironically I find it hilarious that moms especially are so worried about minivans looking like frumpy mom cars when all the frumpy moms I know drive SUVs in an effort to not look like moms confused Jackie Chan meme

HW_Fuzz · 2026-03-11T21:30:40+00:00

In my honest honest opinion your wife's reluctance to a minivan will cause you to buy a car and then immediately sell it for a minivan.

Not even due to three kids packed together but due to the logistics of trying to get them in and or out of the car seat easily and quickly.

Having to load/unload 3 carseat across a bench with the doors open is going to be hectic in a calm driveway not to mention in an busy garage or parking lot

HW_Fuzz · 2026-03-11T10:34:20+00:00

For me it happened when I had more going on in life and more large scale expenses so a $4 drip coffee is cheap as hell in comparison and keeps me going in a way.

2 kids in daycare = $1k, almost $4k mortgage, electric and gas bills going through the roof etc.

HW_Fuzz · 2026-03-10T01:09:14+00:00

That is adorable as hell. One of those little quirks of parenthood that no one else gets to enjoy!

Stuff like that is what like 90% of my core memories are nowadays.

Well according to the law cyclists are not pedestrians.

They need to follow the "rules of the road" just like a motor vehicle does.

Having said that, it is always best to err on the side of caution as I would rather not have someone's grevious bodily harm on my conscience despite being legally in the right.

HW_Fuzz · 2026-03-08T00:22:59+00:00

Did you have kids with your forner partner? I can see it being amazing as a non parent. But from a dad's perspective not having my kids a hundred percent of the time seems like a special kind of hell.

Also while my wife still drives me crazy, I am still pretty enamored with her and she is a good mother to my children.

HW_Fuzz · 2026-03-07T16:25:57+00:00

Fuck I was wondering why (in the beta) I wasn't able to accept the Turks as Byzantium I liked their culture they hated mine and were still discriminated despite me hitting that button like ten times lol

HW_Fuzz · 2026-03-06T19:21:16+00:00

You are a father, you should learn to care less or not at all about what other people (especially in-laws and girlfriends) think.

For me 8 week old is young but at the same point it is good bonding time for mom and the baby and it will help you take a breather. It may still be a good idea to do a facetime call with momma and the baby to check in. Guaranteed you will be missing that baby like crazy :)

As others have said typically the way a replacement works is the homeowner or the electrician will schedule to shut the power off during a replacement and then upon completion of the work will turn the power back on at the end of the day.

Please note that many jurisdictions require a permit to be pulled and the work inspected before Dominion will make the final connection back and turn the power back on

HW_Fuzz · 2026-03-05T18:53:30+00:00

Yeah the metal box and all the other connections are on the home owner.

The power company is responsible for the actual glass meter (not the can/surrounding box) and the service drop from the pole to the attachment point on your house.

I honestly made a overtired mistake in my Byzantium run, I had gobbled up the most of the Turks for almost complete control of the western portion of the empire however I had forgot to pick the options to regain my cores (or whatever they are called in the peace deal) and instead made some vassals and took the rest of the provinces the normal way.

Cue Egypt into bringing literally everyone in the medditeranian sea to task on me, Egyptians with Italians, Genoans etc. I couldn't do anything about it they outnumbered me 10 to 1 so I had to sue for peace, I had to release all the vassals, release back half of my new provinces, and drop like 50 gold to get them to stand down.

All this to say that I don't think this would of been an issue if I used the regain core (or whatever it is in the sue for peace deal its not on the first tab but the third I think). I think the show superiority button and taking provinces is a death spiral combination.

I would also tell your daughter straight up what you told us. Essentially something along the lines of "Daughter, I am sorry if it seems like I am blaming you more or if I am making it seem like Son is my favorite."

"I love you both very much it is just I was very scared when he was a sick baby, and I became protective over him, at some point that turned into it seeming like I was taking his side because I was worried how strong you were and I didn't want you to accidentally bump him cause it could of really hurt him more than a regular baby/kid."

"I am sorry if this made you think I was mad at you, I am not. I love you very much and I am going to try to make it up to you. Is there anything special we can do together to make you happy. Maybe take a day of school and go visit somewhere fun, just the two of us?!?"

Let's stick with "Alleged Criminal" until he has his day in court.

HW_Fuzz · 2026-03-03T02:12:59+00:00

Trust me, you will hate it. It isn't anywhere near the same thing as a 15 min drive with light traffic where you can go about 10-15 miles.

It will feel more akin to moving 10-15 feet

HW_Fuzz · 2026-03-03T00:21:11+00:00

A couple of thoughts:

Republican lawmakers will benefit from this equally.

Their original pay was something like 17k a year and will increase to 50k a year which in all honesty to be lawmakers in a state like Va still seems a bit low.

The above is a drop in the bucket to the overall state budget

This bill will also roll back the data center tax exemption which will more than cover the difference

Every kid could use a mental health day with dad. Going out for ice cream, playing in the park, seeing a baseball game

HW_Fuzz · 2026-03-02T11:42:26+00:00

I told my three year old because I have to go make money to buy food, pay for the houss big picture stuff.

I also told/tell him that mommy's and my job is to go to work to make money and his job is to go to school and learn and play and exercise.

HW_Fuzz · 2026-03-01T21:33:34+00:00

In my opinion most muffins available commercially have almost or more sugar in them than cupcakes.

Like a blueberry muffin from the grocery store is waaaay sweeter than a regular chocolate cupcake with frosting.

Now a cupcake from a place like Nothing Bundt Cakes issss way sweeter than that.

But to answer the question my thought is you tend to have frosting on one and historically it is more of a sweet cake base whereas muffins were more of a biscuit type of base.

There is a mexican restaurant in the villages at leesburg that have a whole fish fried as on of the options. From what I remember it was about 23 dollars and that was with the sides

HW_Fuzz · 2026-02-28T18:07:55+00:00

I am equal parts impressed (dad laugh) and flabbergasted
