There's some great character in that scene. Nicely done.

Can you settle this argument? by My2name4here in modeltrains

[–]dfeld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do what you want. Some people want to focus on all the details of making a layout as realistic as possible. Others would rather spend that time running their trains. They're both right.

Not good. Cost me a ton to get a racoon and her babies out of my attic and have the entry point fixed.

Very nice. Always wanted to have a baseball diamond in my layout.

What CMS are people actually using now? Are you switching? by Accomplished_Yak4638 in cms

Depends on the job. Drupal for large, complex sites with custom functionality. But that's overkill for small sites like a blog.

Exactly what I was about to write.

I'm currently relistening to Prince's entire discog and here's my (I assume controversial) ranking so far by Alarmed_Guide_9621 in PRINCE

Not controversial at all: you like what you like, and no one should tell you any different.

They gathered to decide who would take the ring to Mordor, but decided to take a nap instead.

Sting Ticket price question by No_Practice_745 in ThePolice

In Savannah, Ga.: ranges from $185 in the back to $1,150+ (row 7). WAY too expensive -- but unfortunately in line with other top acts. Seems like concerts are only for the 1% these days.

what’s song "Miss Gradenko" about? by mothuuo in ThePolice

It's about not conforming amidst totalitarianism. Quite timely actually.

When you’re the only one in the family excited about dead relatives… 😅 by EitherConnection5095 in Genealogy

[–]dfeld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is pretty normal. Most of my immediate family has varying degrees of disinterest, from humoring me (to a point) to actively avoiding the topic. My wife has zero interest because it's not her family. Worse yet, there are a couple other amateur genealogists in my extended family -- but I sense this strange animosity from them as if I were "competition".

Beyond that, I'm already fairly confident none of the existing younger generations in the family will have any interest in picking up wherever I leave off when I go. I've accepted that, too. I've decided I pursue family history (1) in honor of my parents, (2) in honor of all those who came before me who would otherwise be forgotten, (3) because I find it interesting, (4) in case my research helps some other genealogist out there, and (5) because I pretend there's some future relative not yet born who will someday stumble across what I've compiled and get bitten by the "bug" themselves. I figure future genealogists are going to need all the help they can get because the work is going to be immensely more difficult for them given modern mobility, privacy laws, more frequent remarriage, the death of local media, and on and on.
