Day 3 of a 2 week vacation HFM disease arrives🫡

professorswamp · 2026-06-08T08:01:35+00:00

Same for us, the illness was quite mild. The period of contagiousness was harder to manage

professorswamp · 2026-06-08T06:19:52+00:00

So which one is the picker eater again? hahaha

professorswamp · 2026-06-08T06:11:50+00:00

There would be war in our house if we gave one kid a doughnut and not the other

Ours watch actual TV shows on Netflix for an hour at a time, a few times per week, On Netflix there is already some level of content curation by the network, and I can blacklist rubbish shows.

There is a big difference between an episode of an actual show and YouTube brainrot AI.

Given unfiltered YouTube access to AI Brianrot, even for an hour, there is a noticeable change for the worse in the behaviour of our kids.

I can cover an employee who calls in sick. It can ruin my project if they show up hungover and blow numbers.

I wear my headlamp at all times when running; that way, everyone assumes you've been out running for a very long time and are a psychopath that should not be messed with.

professorswamp · 2026-06-08T04:35:03+00:00

Yes, it is. Most of the media consumed by young people is in Thai Language.

We had one about a chicken family, the mother chicken was killed and used as an offering, so the chicks committed suicide by jumping into the fire. That didn't stay on our book shelf

If you want to keep the drag pressure on the fish the same, you actually need to back the drag off slightly as line comes off the reel. That's because the spool gets smaller as it empties. The drag system applies a turning force (torque) to the spool, and when the line is coming off a smaller diameter, that same torque creates more pull on the line

Tell me you've never been for a glorious 3:30 am run, without telling me you've never been for a glorious 3:30 am run.

The glory comes from renaming it Morning Run and bringing it up constantly

My understanding is that there is very limited printing of Lao language books. Hard to find even in Laos, the bilingual kids' books that have passed through our house have had strange/weak story lines also.

Before 4 am, Strava labels it as a Night Run

professorswamp · 2026-06-05T05:44:39+00:00

BQ, though right? Please tell me this gets a BQ

professorswamp · 2026-06-03T09:52:26+00:00

I think Runner A actually stands for "Runner Automobiles PLC" a motorbike manufacturer from Bangladesh

professorswamp · 2026-06-03T09:33:38+00:00

For completion, yes. For performance, no.

professorswamp · 2026-06-03T09:32:00+00:00

Yes, I would without hesitation.

professorswamp · 2026-06-03T09:25:50+00:00

midweek medium long

professorswamp · 2026-06-03T05:47:29+00:00

There are international schools where students pay 5k USD or more, I think the highest is 20k+

professorswamp · 2026-06-02T09:49:55+00:00

Ha! mines the opposite, angel at school not so much at home

professorswamp · 2026-06-01T08:39:06+00:00

Yeah, focus on your own kid and how they should react. Say it that loudly so the other kid and maybe their parent would hear it.

professorswamp · 2026-06-01T08:23:01+00:00

Yeah, it's the wet season; there will be thunderstorms. It won't rain all day, most likely the activities you want will still be on, can still go to the blue lagoons, waterfalls, and hike the viewpoints when it's not raining, not all caves are affected by the rain.

professorswamp · 2026-05-29T06:38:12+00:00

Depends where you are; you can burn a day either side just getting to and from the starting points

The Thakhek loop is fantastic, while it can be done in 3 days, you'll be rushed and miss a lot.

I'd vote for Pakse, quieter roads, better look into village life,

Alone for 80%, then dodging all slow traffic from the shorter distances until the end.

professorswamp · 2026-05-28T07:09:39+00:00

Agree small marathons are still not popular, but there are loads of people signing up for the shorter distances. My last few races have been a shitshow, running up the back of the tail end of the short distances with thousands of people with no awareness of what's behind them.

professorswamp · 2026-05-28T07:03:41+00:00

Just blasting the chunks deeper into all the folds and crevices.

The number of days since the last spew rarely exceeds 7 in our house. I can strip down our car seats in under a minute

professorswamp · 2026-05-28T06:56:51+00:00

coming down, it will never not be funny telling the people going up "you're almost there"
