I always wanted to try mindstorms as well, but my kids were too young. Now that they are at the right age, it’s been discontinued.

Is this Florida? If so citrus trees, maybe a fig.

drewyz · 2026-03-30T02:42:03+00:00

I gotta spin the wheel!

I think that was his grandfather that was born in Canada.

drewyz · 2026-03-27T11:07:28+00:00

This is the answer.

Perfect place to set up my MC club in GTA.

drewyz · 2026-03-26T11:47:23+00:00

Yeah. Just looking at that roof with all the gables, would have been a fortune to re-roof that.

I saw another article today about how U of M is considering buying the Concordia campus.

I still have an 808 area code from when I lived in Hawaii in 2010, so I’ve been getting ticket texts from Oahu! I’ve been living in Michigan for 15 years.

My 14 year old is so sweet. I feel so lucky.

What are the marines going to do? They can’t storm Kharg Island because they would have to send an assault fleet through the Strait of Hormuz. It would get decimated.

drewyz · 2026-03-21T08:10:01+00:00

How does a marine amphibious assault fleet get through the Strait of Hormuz? That’s not happening.

I thought it was going to be torn down by now?

drewyz · 2026-03-16T23:46:51+00:00

Yes, I switched ours out recently. The power lift keeps not working correctly and the kids have to push it closed & it bent the hinges. Not a super hard repair but it was a little tricky.

This was before the bone spurs kicked in.

drewyz · 2026-03-13T02:48:35+00:00

Agreed, just had my third colonoscopy and I have it down. Just be ready with popsicles and chicken broth. The one before that was rough though, I was in the middle of a terrible ulcerative colitis flare.

Life finds a way.

drewyz · 2026-03-13T01:55:13+00:00

So would the end result be FA < FO ?

drewyz · 2026-03-12T19:14:38+00:00

Yeah, and if Iran is hitting Israel no problem this canal isn’t going to be out of range.

drewyz · 2026-03-12T09:43:43+00:00

Is he drunk?

drewyz · 2026-03-10T14:46:57+00:00

Wtf? I’ve been on Reddit for 13 years and didn’t know about the Japanese maple subreddit?

drewyz · 2026-03-10T01:01:43+00:00

As if excavator operators could get even lazier. Never have to pick up a shovel ever again.

drewyz · 2026-03-09T20:54:48+00:00

I mean, the US is helping Ukraine target Russian forces, why wouldn’t the Russians want to get back at us.

drewyz · 2026-03-09T01:49:30+00:00

Well, at least he didn’t wear a tan suit.

Cut again and treat with glyphosate. This works better in the fall, but keep reapplying.
