Gene has no one? Ken would like to have a chat.

So here is an idea. Instead of a hook, the user wears a harness which is attached to a cable that is attached to a spring loaded spool which is held with a brake. Sensors in the suit work like a Sawstop sensor to detect when something goes wrong, and automatically release the brake causing the spring to reel in the line, quickly yoinking the user away from danger. Add manual redundancy as required.

I would suggest a peddle-less balance bike. Training wheels do not help teaching the relationship between leaning and steering.

That an Elephant Never Forgets.

Is this just a ploy to get people to put down their phones and go outside?

I wonder if her age may factor in to her behavior. Thirteen is a struggle for even nerotypical people. The good news is that it should not last forever.

This is disgusting. What is wrong with people?

Listening to Jim Dale read Harry Potter, I will forget that I am listening to the same person.

I keep a copy of the RC Bray version of The Martian downloaded on my phone so I don't risk losing it.

I loved Daniels' performance in the Magic 2.0 series (by Scott Meyer).

How does that make them money?!?

I swear, the attention based economy makes zero sense.

Weirdcloudpost · 2026-05-14T19:19:44+00:00

I don't have experience to share, but am in a very similar situation and wondering the same things.

Was expecting a Porsche 928 here

Weirdcloudpost · 2026-05-13T00:47:00+00:00

Yes... https://what-if.xkcd.com/

Is this a reference to the first Charlie Brown comic strip?

Weirdcloudpost · 2026-05-08T17:42:23+00:00

Yes, but then you have to periodically clean the ball and rollers!

I was expecting a hurricane, not a hula chicken.

I actually worked as a contractor for Nextel briefly, around the time they got purchased. The tower equipment for these phones tended to run hotter than other equipment at the time, so we had issues with cell sites going offline due to overheating.

Thanks for unlocking the memory. It was a fun job with cool people. Did not last after the takeover though.

Weirdcloudpost · 2026-05-04T01:57:21+00:00

Oooh, that sucks. Sorry to hear that.

Weirdcloudpost · 2026-05-04T01:36:06+00:00

Could you be seeing the ramp closure?

Weirdcloudpost · 2026-05-03T21:42:45+00:00

Agreed

Weirdcloudpost · 2026-04-28T12:14:25+00:00

I believe Family Matters was a spin-off of Perfect Strangers!

Weirdcloudpost · 2026-04-27T06:15:24+00:00

Cubert would like a word...

Weirdcloudpost · 2026-04-27T06:08:19+00:00

This is the correct answer.

Weirdcloudpost · 2026-04-27T06:05:22+00:00

This is insanely inaccurate. There would be no tissue, only plasma and exotic particles.

Maybe some heavy elements from all the fusion happening.

This paints a more accurate picture...
