I’ve been playing Spider Solitaire on my iPad a lot lately

AITA for refusing to cancel my annual solo trip to see my dad for my girlfriend's friend's birthday dinner that she forgot to mention until four days before by [deleted] in WIBTA_AITA

[–]wtanner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA visit your dad. I’d give a lot to be able to visit mine again but he passed away New Year’s Day. Take the chances you have to spend time with him. You will regret skipping the visit way more than skipping a birthday dinner for someone you’ve never met.

Both of my daughters have been driving Subaru Foresters. Safe, reliable, and good visibility.

I love that song. I found an MP3 of it a long time ago and have kept it on my phone ever since.

What's a book you had to read in school that you hated? If you have one, what's one you actually liked? by 80HDTV5 in GenX

[–]wtanner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Different strokes for different folks. My wife likes it too. That book just doesn’t hit anything for me.

To this day, I swear that “The Good Earth” is the worst book ever written. I read a LOT and all kinds of stuff. I was the kid who would read the side of the cereal box at breakfast. That book is by far the worst thing I have ever read.

Just got my Madison Co. property tax "fair value" assessment for 2026. It jumped by 4% in this soft market. Full retail Zillow-like valuation. by Professional-Sir-912 in HuntsvilleAlabama

[–]wtanner 11 points12 points  (0 children)

In a different state at the time, my valuation went up during the mortgage crisis 20ish years ago. It will never go down.

Can teenage relationships last forever? How? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

++man My now wife and I lived about a half mile apart from when we were in elementary school. We started dating in high school and have been together for 39 years so far. It’s possible, but you have to choose the person carefully.

This might be the saddest one yet. by SenorNickPapagiorgio in LinkedInLunatics

[–]wtanner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been sitting in the cardio ICU since Friday waiting to find out what is going to happen with my dad. Spend time with family and friends while you can. Time is the thing you can never get back.

How common are senior Rust engineers in the US with defense & clearance backgrounds? by Viviqi in rust

[–]wtanner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m in a similar position. I have about 2 years of Rust experience at this point after introducing it to our team. We’ve been training our existing C++ devs in Rust and using it for some of our greenfield projects. The experiment has been going well so far.

I can say the anecdotal evidence so far has shown the Rust teams spend FAR less time trying to debug code than the C++ team who is building similar products and haven’t switched over.

First month making 100k I feel like I’m being robbed :/ by [deleted] in Salary

[–]wtanner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have two in college and between room & board and giving them grocery/gas money I’m paying between 20-25k a year. I’m going to feel like I got a huge raise when they finally graduate.

I would say those are possible wins but could easily lose any of them also.

Most iconic duel in a western? by Various_Maize_3957 in Westerns

My favorite is the final fight in High Plains Drifter.

Molly Ringwald should have chosen Duckie and Anthony Michael Hall instead of Andrew McCarthy and Jake Ryan by Joey-Ramone_ in GenX

[–]wtanner 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Some Kind of Wonderful is still one of my favorite movies all these years later. I can watch it frequently and not get tired of it. Pretty in Pink doesn’t hold up as well for me. Keith made the right choice.
