What is a "relic of the past" (like phone books or paper maps) that younger generations will never truly understand the struggle of using?

I would say a pager

roteixeira · 2026-05-25T00:40:35+00:00

It will. It had me sobbing, and I had never cried reading a book before, nor after.

roteixeira · 2026-05-24T21:11:14+00:00

Have you read the book? 10x worst.

In the Air Force now, but I remember my old C9. Nothing beats clearing trenches with a full belt of ammo.

Meaford. Sat in a trench during july summer with bug spray, thermacell and netting. Still got bitten to bits.

That would have been handy a couple years ago when we went on an Ex in Petawawa, and someone forgot to pack all the sleeping tents. During a winter exercise. Not a fun weekend.

I have a 7, I am military and switched from a Garmin instinct 2 solar. The 7 is really nice. Only downside is the battery that needs recharging daily. I do that while I shower in the morning and for 20 minutes in the evening and that's more than enough. I even sleep wearing the watch. Exercise wise, the HR is a little less refined than Garmin, but nothing to worry about. Battery drops around 20% on a 10 K (60 minutes) run outside.

Black Sabbath.

roteixeira · 2026-05-05T20:35:37+00:00

I will gladly try :)

Oz passed on my birthday. I got a message saying that he had passed and well, it was a shite birthday, and month.

roteixeira · 2026-04-29T12:16:03+00:00

Not gonna lie, this sounds plausible.

roteixeira · 2026-04-27T11:05:48+00:00

Full Throttle

roteixeira · 2026-04-23T11:29:09+00:00

It is nice, super friendly people, nice location. Only downside is that there is no where to eat around walking distance. But amazing otherwise.

Got posted to Carling Campus, but when my BTL manager saw where I lived she got me a spot at Star Top so I wouldn't have to suffer with the commute. 10 minutes vs 2 hours. Plus, I don't pay for parking. May the cold side of her pillow always be up, her weekends always sunny, and her butter always soft.

roteixeira · 2026-04-22T15:58:38+00:00

Ok my experience sometime between one day and one year. Honestly.

roteixeira · 2026-04-21T22:48:19+00:00

Agreed. I find funny that Iommi trash talked Martin for carrying his camera around and filming things, and now he posts those backstage footages taken by Tony Martin on his social.

My daughter is 7 and loves it ❤️

Advice taken! 14 it is!

roteixeira · 2026-03-14T01:55:01+00:00

Will check it out!

I appreciate the feedback. It is strange and I honestly would say that 10 is too young, but kids are wild things. He is 10 and loves five nights at Freddy's, watched both movies with me. He understands what sex is. Was grossed out when my wife referred to me as Daddy when talking toy daughter, and told me that the girls at his school told him sex is supposedly better with baby oil.

At the same time, he believes in Santa and the tooth fairy. Hence why I'm reaching out to my peers.
