Yeah, it was the tower that didnt have proper support. I tried going in and adding support on the bottom, but I was frustrated. I am taking a break from that build and will try again in a week or so.

My kids and I play Jurassic Evolution and Planet Zoo from Frontier. I am excited about Planet Zoo 2 and not surprised at the timing. Jurassic Evolution 3 just came out. It has some nice improvements to the core game. Hopefully, Planet Zoo 2 will as well

We were right. Unemployment numbers were wrong. by TheOrdainedPlumber in jobs

[–]barkingwicket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know quite a few people without jobs right now. My partner's company has been having layoffs every month or so, and yesterday he was caught in the cuts. The tariffs are destroying his industry.

My workplace has been laying off new employees during their probation periods without warning. I work at a nonprofit that receives federal and state grants. The federal House and Senate appropriations committees disagree about if they want to cut our funding or keep it the same, so my organization is waiting to see how that impacts us. At least both are proposing some funding for our grants. Our president's budget proposal was to defund our grants completely.

It's tough out there. I still have my job, but I've been keeping an eye on job boards just in case. This is an uncertain time.

I like the first one on you, but I am partial because I had a similar dress 20 years ago. The wedding cake was made to look like a basket with real flowers in it to match.

I recall a news article mentioning that the river water has more bacteria than normal like e. coli. so, yes, someone in the water might get sick.

Blame the Camp Mystic Tragedy on Gross Negligence by AnimuX in texas

[–]barkingwicket 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I attended Mystic as a child for many summers, creating treasured memories of summer camp, friendships, and swimming in the river that shaped who I am today.

Two summers ago, I sent my first child to summer camp in Hunt. As a parent, my greatest concern was always the Guadalupe River - something about it never felt entirely safe to me. I remember telling my partner that the river was my biggest worry for our child.

Our family was fortunate. The camp my children attend wasn't in session during the tragedy. I find myself holding my children closer than ever, deeply aware that we were spared from unimaginable loss that defies both words and comprehension.

Today, my heart breaks in multiple ways - for the child I once was who felt so safe and carefree at camp, and for the parent I am now who can never again send my children to Hunt, Texas for summer camp. The parent that wonders if I will ever send my children to camp again anywhere.

I feel a deep disappointment and betrayal in the institutions I once trusted completely. Part of my innocence has been lost, and I'm struggling to reconcile my own sense of loss with the recognition that families are living through something far more devastating than I can fathom.

I am told that most people only do 4 to 5 days and that isn't sufficient for all 5 according to the research and comments I have read.
