Was easier when I had a big CRT on my desk, and the cat would just chill on top and bat at the mouse pointer moving around the screen.

AI: I use it - i can keep multiple things going in parallel which seems to work well with my ADHD. Foreign BS: I worry a bit about my draft age kids, worry about donald rumsfeld's ghost making us go back to nation building again. Enshi

I f'd my knees running track in HS - i suspect some kind of structural problem that alters the way my knees move. Sr year wsa awful, i was just about crawling to class in the morning. MRIs showed nothing and I learned to live with it

Hey my dad used to wipe the stuff of tomatoes before eating them right off the vine. I’m mostly ok, have the normal number of arms and legs. Only had one tumor, and just a few endocrine issues. Nothing major, it’s all good.

Why yes, they do. If they didn't, they would get out and socialize. I'm not controlling them. We're basically all introverts here. Except maybe my youngest, who gets his social needs met at school, and he's free to v

some of us like that. I get 90% of my social interaction needs from my wife/kids/dogs. The rest I get from going to the gym and lifting. OTOH: i also live in the woods.

My MYP has needed to go into the shop once (aside from a Portland pothole wrecking a wheel and bending a suspension arm). Our Benz sprinter needed an engine at 11k miles. I wonder what they count as defects.

Also, most of the car people I know could easily debug software, they’re used to debugging fairly complex systems already. They just don’t know it. It’s the same basic way of thinking.

This makes no sense. FoMoCo doesn’t hire mechanics to work on customer cars, franchise dealerships do. And no mechanic I’ve ever met makes 120k.

Im working on (slowly) a very very niche web app to help my wife manage her dog breeding program. Maybe it'll be useful enough for other breeders to use it.

Some of us have lived through multiple bubbles and know that often, the underlying bits are useful and will gain widespread acceptance. Just play long, and don’t feed the hypemonster.

I want to leave tech as well. Unfortunately I can't figure out how to replace my income (yet). I'm working on a VERY niche SaaS offering, that has some novel growth areas. But getting time to work on it is slow going. Maybe it

My Chevrolet truck while having an actual door latch, doesn’t open the doors if they’re locked. You have to pull twice. Is that an electronic counter (likely) or mechanical? If the latter, no big deal, if the former it’s even worse than th

Just wait til you try an Inverter MIG w/CO2. OMG, so nice. Yeah, a bit more than $1000 though, I paid $4k for my setup (but it does AC/DC TIG too).
