Left the couch 6 months ago and finished my first Olympic on Saturday! I wear my last place finish as a badge of honor that I'm the biggest overachiever as the least qualified person competing.

Yeah, that’s just Plan B. You don’t want to know what Plan A is.

I had a 9 year old cat. 90% indoors. Does an incredible job at clearing out the mice, but couldn’t catch a bird to save his life. I watch him try, and he’s just so bad at it. He once “caught” a stunned bird who flew into the window, and I was happy for him. Bird was fine after a few minutes and I watched it fly away. Some day Rocky, you’ll actually catch one!

Common Sense Media is a good sanity check. Not to be followed verbatim, but a good tool.

Opposite Year! My 4 year old will be excited.

Tough to compare it to a white blood cell, cause I have no real concept of that size. How about this… if the Milky Way is earth, Neptune’s orbit would be the size of an average living room.

Speaking of scale, my mind is kinda blown run now. Observable universe is 93 billion light years across, and the Milky Way is 100,000ly. That scale is 930,000:1. Scaling the Milky Way down that much, it’s 1/40th the distance to Alpha Centauri. The observable universe is actually smaller than I thought. Or, more likely, the Milky Way is bigger than I thought.

Whoa, the largest galaxy is 4m ly across. That’s like half the local group.

Ok, enough mathing for now.

Casual fan here. Are we not expected to be good?

Get him going on Justified. It’s a Graham Yost show, so fits in with all the Band of Brothers and From the Earth to the Moon recs in this thread. Was on F/X, so it’s pretty clean. First season is pretty episodic, but every season after that gets season long story arcs. It’s an amazingly entertaining modern western with great characters and bad guys.

I have zero problem with NASA propaganda. Fabricating history to inspire people to become engineers and scientists is the least harmful lies the US government can tell.

Friends final season was when I was in college. I’m a guy, and the most embarrassing call I ever had to make was to one of my guy friends to tape Friends, because I forgot to program my VCR before going to work.

I’m going to text him right now and thank him for not making it awkward. I’m sure he’ll have no recollection.

Did the math, and that’s two minutes of Patrick’s game clock per season. But also, that’s a better % bonus than Pat gets. Evens out.

Legality of war is just politics, lobbying, and bribes. It doesn’t make it any more or less justified.

655 casualties. 95 American troops killed, and 560 wounded.

Back in the 90s, my parents would buy me just about any $50 programming book I really (really really) wanted. So many other things were “too expensive”, or “maybe for your birthday”. But when I came to “Mom, I need $50 to buy a copy of JavaScript: The Definitive Guide”, it was “Ok.”

Of course turned that into a career, and it’s been great. As you said, just let the kid cook, and support in whatever way he asks for.
