We’re not in shock, we’re increasingly dejected and occasionally it builds up enough to make us scream for a minute before worse news mutes us again.

Getting to 420kg without dying doesn’t sound that easy. It’s over half an F1car! You aren’t gonna be leaving you reinforced bed without a lot of help for a much of the time.

He puts his symbol everywhere. Like everything he owns is covered/made out of that symbol. Certainly that would be his tag/signature right?

Except for the cave paintings, that’s exactly the case.

Probably some piece of the Death Star or something.

My boomer dad was a sort of stay at home dad in the off season for his construction work. (Temperature dependent waterproofing).

We got to spend winters wood working, skiing (he was an instructor and coach to allow us to afford it) and just being around to have fun with.

He died too young to meet my son, but I’ve been basically working from home in a similar way as much as possible and just got home from the mountain where I work to get us free passes and lessons.

Painting all boomers as misogynists is understandable, as many were, probably after being brought up by the war babies and silent ge. But many weren’t like that, had hippie roots and never succumbed to the yuppie greed that many did in the 80s.

The housing crisis unlocked that in me, and I’ve never worked steady jobs since then. I was lucky enough to be part of what’s now called a lifestyle startup (prioritizing comfortable life work, instead of grinding growth), but we made it 10 years before our market vanished with COVID. But I wouldn’t change much, except getting better dental coverage and moving to a country with universal healthcare.

CorningWare had a similar problem with their plates. We’re still using our parents old bowls and plates from the 80s. The stuff we got as wedding presents was mostly chipped or broken before our 10th anniversary.

Probably LiFePos. Easier to last all day and lighter to lug home to charge.

Short and curling.

It’s happening to all difficult problems. I’ve been searching for help with car wiring diagram or trouble codes and getting endless copies of slop scraped websites from DDG.

They often appear to be generated on the fly and rarely have any real information in them past the relevant search term. No real info. Super fucking frustrating.

Unless the copies start shooting ICE when they attack citizens, I’ll maintain that ACAB.

At least not for almost 30 years.

I think that was the last time I used a SCSI port printer with our family Mac. I know PCs hung on to parallel a little longer, but my first a win 98 machine had usb and a custom scsi port for my scanner and Zip drive (before I got an ATA internal Zip).

Doritos and shredded pepper jack aren’t half bad with some good hot salsa.

Isn’t that the point of Postgresql. It’s basically an open source version of MySQL.

I’m sure there are some proprietary nonsense that MySQL has, but I’ve never needed it in 17 years

Yup, worked in advertising. No longer work in advertising. Life much better. Just quite a bit poorer.

AROOOOOOOO DON’T CLOG THE DRAIN BROTHER!!!
