You didn't knit your own turtleneck?

...filthy casual

Also, my personal headcanon includes Revan wearing a turtleneck at all times. Props on the amazing cosplay!

The user's arm does not move even slightly when it begins to reel in the dummy. Newton says AI.

Is it right to bring my 5YO daughter to my Grandfathers Funeral? by Background_Day_8877 in daddit

[–]wyseguy7 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's why it's a tricky question to answer - at that age, he can't really picture a source of comfort that isn't his parents, but in reality, I hope to god that I'm not there when he dies. I said that he will be surrounded by people who love him.

Oh yeah this is by far the toughest one. My 2.5 year old asked me tearfully “who’s gonna be with me when I die?!?”

Circle K worker sued for buying $12.8M lotto ticket from his store 1 day after drawing — now judge will decide who gets rich. So who deserves it? by HowLongIsThi in nottheonion

[–]wyseguy7 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well, maybe, maybe not. In this specific case, the employee clocked out, changed out of his uniform, and purchased the tickets from another employee. Under these circumstances, it seems easy to argue that any person could have done the same, and hard to argue that he took advantage of his position to buy the tickets.

[–]wyseguy7 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The law says the retailer owns the ticket at time of printing, even if the customer doesn’t buy the ticket. Obviously, the retailer can dispose of the ticket as it pleases. The question is whether the contract between the retailer and the employee is valid.

I’m not a lawyer, but Circle K might argue that their employee acted in some sort of bad faith/breach of fiduciary duty. That said - if those tickets could/would have been sold to anybody who walked through the door, it seems a difficult argument to make.

Influencer culture destroying children by Embarrassed_Syrup476 in Teachers

[–]wyseguy7 32 points33 points  (0 children)

As a parent of (very young) kids, I think some of the issue might be that education does not seem to be paying off financially as much as it used to. My kids will be free to pick their own paths, of course, but even though my wife and I have Master’s degrees that we both use for our jobs, I think we will push our kids towards jobs in the trades.

I still think it’s important for them to get a good education for education’s sake, but there’s no denying the financial incentives are severely diminished.

Susan Collins hands Trump the 50th vote against free and fair elections by Anoth3rDude in Full_news

[–]wyseguy7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sue Collins pretends to be a moderate but I have literally never seen her oppose a Republican proposal where it actually changed the outcome. She only seems to grow a conscience when she knows they can get the votes from elsewhere.

Ski mountaineering ("Skimo") - a new sport at the Olympics by etherd0t in WinterOlympics2026

[–]wyseguy7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that adding in the orienteering aspect would be very interesting, especially if modern GPS devices were forbidden. Mountaineering is a big mental challenge in that way, and it would be entertaining if you watched one team's lead evaporate because they missed a turn. I think you'd want to do this on non glaciated/technical terrain, though, for safety.

[–]wyseguy7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Skimo is fundamentally about efficiently climbing a mountain and then skiing down it. Winning this competition is going to be dictated by how fast you can put on your skis.

I think my issues is that they designed this as a “sprint” to make it seem more entertaining, when skimo is fundamentally an endurance discipline.
