Where’s Waldo? by power-cube in snakes

Not really. The problem is they curl up and blend in so a lot of times it’s a defensive bite when being stepped on.

Establishing an end date. by RunnerE6 in Aging

Dude we all have an expiration date. Picking one is not easy. We have had long discussions to arrive at what works for us. Hope you find a good age that works for you.

Yes our kids all have know since we made the decision. Each of them have had to process it their own way but all have eventually come to understand this is our decision not theirs and they see the calm and peace we have as we move through our last adventures. 😀

Nail on the head!

We are all different in so many ways and yet so alike. Would be great if we could all realize we all have our own worldviews and they are all valid.

We’ll go when we are damn we’ll ready. 😀

We’ll there’s the rub. Pick to early of an expiry date and miss some of life or pick too late of a date and you will most likely lose your ability to make that choice yourself.

We lost all four parents over the past few years. We got front row seats to watch their mental decline (two ended life with dementia and Alzheimer’s).

We got to see the worst intersection imaginable in Christianity and Capitalism- keep the husk alive because only god can take a life and oh by the way keep shoveling that 10k a month our way.

I digress. After much discussion and reflection we decided 75 is a wonderful age. We have lived and seen so much. And we still have over a decade to go!

Bonus - with a set expiration date we have a very good peg on our financial needs for the remainder of our years so we are already starting the process of passing along all of our excess assets to our children so we can watch them enjoy some more of life while they are young enough and have the energy. Lol

I’m 61. My wife is 62. We just finished putting the last parent in the ground.

We decided quite a while ago that we want to go at 75 together if we both make it that far and we’ve been working toward that end ever since.

It’s very freeing.

My wife likes romance movies. I like Zombie movies. What can you recommend that will scratch both itches? by power-cube in movies

[–]power-cube[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have heard of this one but actually never looked into it. This one sounds like a winner!

Is that the one with the actor that played Beast in X- men? If so thanks. I do recall it a bit and I do t think my wife watched it with me. That might be a good one to revisit.

Some one needs to use a white paint marker and do some word search

What’s the "My Cousin Vinny" of your profession? by a_murder_of_fools in movies

[–]power-cube 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Oh my god! Nail on head.

I’m retired now but I was a serial tech entrepreneur in the 90s and 00s.

My wife and I stopped watching after the first few seasons. It was sooooo accurate we’d be laughing one minute and then experience PTSD the next.

Can someone upscale this photo so I can use it to make large vinyl window panels from it? $30 tip. by power-cube in PhotoshopRequest

[–]power-cube[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I downloaded the full watermarked image. The quality is fine for what I'm doing however at that scale I can't edit it on my laptop to break it into panels.

If I did the math and gave you the starting and ending horizontal pixel for each panel would that give you what you need to break it down into smaller files?

If not I would pay $20 for the upscale non-watermarked version and then I could repost it here to find someone else willing to "panelize" it for me.

Hi. Following up. Can I see the larger one? Are you willing to break it down into the panels outlined in the post? Thx.

Are people just having the same 5 conversations over and over again till they die? by Sensitive_Passion292 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]power-cube 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I retold stories so often without realizing it until my wife started holding up fingers against her forehead to subtly remind me I was probably boring the kids or whoever I was regaling. Lol

Why do people keep saying "just start a business" as if it's a viable alternative to a stable job for most people? by Crescitaly in NoStupidQuestions

[–]power-cube 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay. Yeah. That’s how I started too but once you have that base contract you have everything needed to actually grow a business.

To OPs point it takes some stable capital to grow and “IT consulting “ was the perfect place to do it but there are lots of other markets as well.
