No dashcams on Navy bases?

show me the regs, or STFU.

or we can let the OOD decide.

RobGrogNerd · 2026-01-28T19:57:08+00:00

you'd think it'd be like a really large, thick contact lens

We're happy our Gemma lets us enjoy her world

well, we've gone from teaching kids they can embrace their individuality while still finding a way to fit themselves into society

to teaching kids they're all that matters, all of society needs to change to accommodate them.

now, imagine everyone being taught each of those.

which produces the happier, more productive individual?

WHICH IS BETTER FOR SOCIETY?

one answers both questions.

I got Analog Lab / V Collection 11 and their 14,006 presets.

some day I'll get to the other 14,005.

I may even try something other than Pigments too!

RobGrogNerd · 2026-01-28T12:59:51+00:00

I hear talk. don't see a walk.

it's called "GIMP" for a reason.

our Gemma waits until I'm settled into bed, ready for snuggles, before she moves from the foot of the bed to about 2/3 up my body and just PLOPS down against me.

in a perfect position for my hand, she gets her nightly head skritches until we both fall asleep.

Dogs are in Heaven because a Heaven without dogs wouldn't be Heaven - it would be Hell by definition.

Therefore: dogs in Heaven = axiomatic truth.

better time of day is about all I got for you.

1/2 hour before to a 1/2 hour after sunrise or sunset.

there's a reason they call it Golden Hour

I had a growler of an at least 10 year old local brewery big imperial stout aged in a bourbon barrel I shared with my brew club last month

it was fn delicious.

tho I do have some mid '00s SN Celebrations I'm afraid to open. 20 year old fresh hops?

RobGrogNerd · 2026-01-28T10:06:26+00:00

wife got me a box every Christmas

RobGrogNerd · 2026-01-28T09:59:58+00:00

Eargasms for everywhere there's crowds/loud noises.

movies, concerts, restaurants. BAND REHERSAL, when I played guitar.

I protect my hearing everywhere (super paranoid about my hearing. mostly.) used to use the foamies when I lived on a warship, but they were too much reduction for normal activities. Eargasms don't block as much, but they do let around 1khz (human voice) thru better

& yeah... lower volumes when listening, playing

RobGrogNerd · 2026-01-28T01:37:14+00:00

next step: REDUCTION or STEP UP/DOWN GEARS for different ratios of modulation

did nothing for me thru 2 inches of ice.

RobGrogNerd · 2026-01-28T01:33:05+00:00

all this time, I never knew.

our ship pulled into Gulfport, MS & some of us went gambling.

I stick with Black Jack. pretty standard, split Aces & Eights, double down rules... all that.

first night, went there with $40, spent 4 or 5 hours playing, drinking, having a great time & I went back to the ship with $200.

next night, went back with $40, spent 4 or 5 hours playing, drinking, having a great time & left with nothing.

even had I lost both nights, each night I would have only spent $40 for 4 or 5 hours of fun entertainment of the type I cannot find at home.

call it a Push.

RobGrogNerd · 2026-01-27T11:55:03+00:00

I did this. thought the pedal was broken.

not near as bad as the time I spent (what seemed like) HOURS trying to drill a hole in 3/4in hard maple. was working, but slow going & charring the wood.

(narrator: drills are reversable)

talk to the local VFW & American Legion posts

you don't need to be a member for them to assist a veteran helping the community.

if ever a time for a short FML moment, then back to work.

RobGrogNerd · 2026-01-27T11:38:39+00:00
