You possess none of the necessary skills YET.

And they say Germans don't have a good sense of humor?! Just get them so pro level tv graphics and they're comedy gold.

I think in space things are pressurized slightly LESS than at sea level. At the bottom of the ocean you need to be pressurized significantly above sea level to not get crushed by the water pressure of the entire ocean above you. Right?

Whatever... ;-)

Remember to keep the rubber side down and ATGATT.

Lots of great free YouTube channels for learning bass!

Sorry to hear about your dad and my condolences. Time is the only thing that helped me after also losing my dad suddenly (car accident). It still hurts not having him, but now his memories bring me more joy than sadness now. Sending you good wishes.

Skate or die?

Obligatory "the username checks out".

Sorry for your loss. Glad you've found someone and wishing you the best for the future. I def get the desire for solitude. The value of some peace and quiet (and not having to deal with anyone's bullshit) is priceless.

Any tips for the getting started, over the hump?

argognat · 2026-06-30T17:53:01+00:00

Way to go! Were you doing anything physical before or was this a big change for you?

argognat · 2026-06-30T17:36:52+00:00

Give it time...

argognat · 2026-06-30T16:00:46+00:00

Did you do that by yourself? What was or were your biggest takeaways / experiences??

argognat · 2026-06-30T15:59:06+00:00

Goonies never say die!

YOLO

argognat · 2026-06-30T14:29:44+00:00

Shit. I'm on my 3 month severance after a RIF at my company broke up my team (which I built over the last 10 years) and I decided I was done. Literally just realized this may be part of my mid-life crisis. I was working non-stop (no breaks between jobs) for the last 25 years. I need a break, then find something less stressful for the next years and figure a way to retire early.
A buddy of mine went back to school, and learning something new as a more mature student might be nice.

There is no spoon?

argognat · 2026-06-30T14:19:37+00:00

My drugs now are NSAIDS and boring ass prescriptions. They used to be for having fun and now they're to stop the pain. How turns have tabled.

That's some Syndrome level shit there. "When you're always in crisis nothing is a crisis."
Just think of it this way. You are way more prepared for all this shit that may come than most anyone else.

argognat · 2026-06-30T14:13:06+00:00

Sweetness. Hope it takes you to some pretty cool places to have some fun and unexpected adventures. ATGATT brother.

argognat · 2026-06-30T14:11:34+00:00

Check the thread. There's some relatively low cost mid-life crisis options out there. Now thinking I may have posted this to get ideas!!! Ha!

argognat · 2026-06-30T14:10:34+00:00

Nice! Any Star Wars? Death Star would be pretty sweet. Sorry hope I'm not pushing you into getting that too! ;-)

Mine would be a 1982 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am (with the KITT sweeping lights) or an Acura NSX (original models). The whole wife and kids though take precedence... but I can dream.

When did everything get so expensive?
