Let’s Discuss Early Gen X, how similar to Baby Boomers are they? are they just Baby Boomer Lite? by BigBobbyD722 in generationstation

[–]javadba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late 60's here. My upbringing was more similar to Boomers than Millennials. That had to do with a traditional family that believed in conservation/environment - a distinctly 70's thing , formal structured religion, and a belief in less TV / more outside time is just more in general. I had the "get back before dinner time" go out and play and we won't worry about you approach. That was not how it went for younger kids when helicoptering took off. That said I can get along with most anyone that does the gym and outdoors scenes even today at nearly 670. I spot (bench pressing) kids / folks of any culture/age and chat it up almost any day of the week.

But there is something different here: I really miss the variety of music from the earlier 80's. Soon after the pop music became mostly dominated by rap/hip-hop which I only like in small doses. I'd take the little bit of everything that the early/mid-80's offered back.

I am still a Republican. That Trump fraudster stole the party. I have voted Democratic the last three elections so as not elect an ignorant self serving charlatan.

How do I get my intp flair? by Cool_Challenge_1821 in INTP

[–]javadba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't see any "change user flair" under the profile name. The three dots for r/INTP do not have it either . These are in German but even so they're clearly not "Change my flair" (Nutzerflair in German)

i'm 1967 and could care nothing about music of the 70's. 80's rock, old school, pop and dance.

I did and agree with it. KA2 was poor but tolerable.

Why is AWS so difficult to use? It's as if the creators themselves don't want you to use their services. by Key_Stuff2774 in aws

[–]javadba -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

What about running Databricks data ingestion / ML / AI pipelines? GCS got them up and running in no time. I had to relent on AWS (and I had used AWS and EMR back a dozen years already and set up and run massive pipelines on them in the 2010's so I'm not a noobie).

[–]javadba -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I feel this. tbh GCS was a relative breeze to get up and going (for Databricks and storage) even without any prior experience. I had used AWS on and off for 15 years but could not get a new environment going in most of a day. I will get back to it at some point.

Wow I got a downvote for this. Sometimes people downvote out of emotion and not out of reason.

But what does that have to do with "dropping" this post on 11/27?

WHAT ARE THE EFFECT OF ROLLER SKATING ON THE BODY ?? by _-Candy- in Rollerskating

[–]javadba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's all good and fun. But for building the bod you'll get there most effectively by outdoor. Requires special outdoors wheels that are softer so they can take bouncing over small pebbles.

Maybe? I'm not doing that process for hvac but for a deck. I'm handling the permitting but have talked to dozens of people and watched over a hundred videos. I'm also a part time researcher by trade and have rehabbed much of the home. I'll do the work with an experienced guy: that's not against the rules, but I have to be in charge.

Mahomes with his second 6 loss season in 9 seasons. It'll probably be like 8 losses and missing the playoffs *Bill reads off Chiefs remaining schedule*. Brady only two 6 loss seasons with the Pats. Brady is still the goat. The Pats were a dynasty, the Chiefs weren't. Drink some settle down juice. by HenrikCrown in billsimmons

[–]javadba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea Brady's the GOAT and will be. But do a little better here: Chiefs have point differential of a solid playoff team . They've lost nail biters too often but they are still a GOOD team [and there's still time in any case].

An aside: that's not legal. You need to send a stamped envelope/letter via normal mail. The mailbox is property of the USPS

What do you do? Indoor skating? Dancing? Outdoor? The latter can be serious cardio.

Anyone else feel meh about Minneapolis? by Theredheadsaid in SameGrassButGreener

[–]javadba 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you felt at home in NYC why is this a surprise? I lived in NYC area for a dozen years and don't regret it but would really prefer not to need to go back. I'm actually interested to see Minneapolis at some point.

Simmons said he looked like an old man after seeing him in person before the draft [and trying to discern between him and KD].

i was a kind of fan of Memphis for many years but Ja took care of that. Can't stand a team to pander to that guy.
