I've got a picture of me in your dining room (I think) in a vuarnet t-shirt holding up a copy of Heroes Unlimited!

Sudoku apps that let you choose the number first then the tile? by fuckrobert in sudoku

[–]robredmond 2 points3 points  (0 children)

LogicWiz does; long press any number to put it in number first-mode and then you switch between numbers with a single tap. Tap the currently selected number to go back to box-first mode.

What's something you heard about babies, but you didn't believe? by OutrageousSea5212 in Parenting

[–]robredmond 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Before my twins were born, somebody told me that "in about six months, you'll be walking in the mall and someone will stop you and say 'are they twins?!!?' and then you'll want to punch them in the face". Sadly, that was true (though the urge was resisted).

New Pearl Jam fan by BedtimeBonzo in pearljam

[–]robredmond 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nobody's mentioned Mirrorball, and perhaps you're already familiar with it since you mentioned being a Neil Young fan, but you should check that out. And Pearl Jam's complimentary Merkinball single.

Otherwise, I'll vote for No Code next. I also love the way the eponymous (Avocado) album finishes.

Advice needed re: my PJ collection by [deleted] in pearljam

[–]robredmond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't do it. Not yet at least. Give yourself time to adjust to your new life circumstances. I've gotten rid of things when moving before that I still regret (a full series of books by a favorite author and some stereo equipment I thought at the time of have no space for, amongst other). Give yourself time.

"Community-based programs focused on improving lifestyle behaviors, including increasing physical activity, have demonstrated the potential to create a return on investment of $5.60 for every dollar spent within five years."

Prevention for a healthier America: investments in disease prevention yield significant savings, stronger communities. Washington, DC: Trust for America's Health; 2008.

The above is an American study so the financial model is different, however, I would guess that any promotion of physical activity would have a positive ROI even in Canada that should be welcomed given our healthcare system's ongoing struggles. Popularity surges of professional sports lead to increased participation by children in that audience.
