  1. Used the old broken 19" TV as a stand for the new, smaller, sleeker 19" TV.
  2. Your first video game console had a rotating paddle for a controller

My reluctance isn't that this isn't doable, but the amount of effort it would take to inspect every external surface for small gaps. Cracks, for reasons of personal head cannon, seem much easier to identify. Both the attic and crawl space require a fair amount of persistence in tight, dark spaces with not the best of footing and air quality conditions that are tolerable in limit situations without mitigating equipment.

The roof is also another tricky spot. Definitely worth it for critter sized openings, but I'm not sure I can pull it off for bug sized.

With that said, I think most people will get a lot of bang for the time if they inspect doors, windows and search for cracks on the sidewalk along the foundation.

The amount of comments saying "ANGRY AND HORNY IS A THING!" has me a little worried about y'all.

This shit fucked my head up in high school. As an American studying German, I did not expect fairy tales to be so ... This.

Don't suck your thumbs children.

I'll expand this and say encounters. Sneaking past a patrol, disarming a trap, or charming a suspicious cook having a break at the service entrance... Those encounters often require some rp, but damn if there aren't stakes.

I love having a kid, so probably not pointed at me. I loved coaching him and his buddies as they played their first year of basketball. I love playing the rogue like he's into. I love showing him how to train his body, how math can be awesome and fun, how characters in books can teach us about ourselves. I love teaching him how to clean the bathroom and that our family only works because we all work for each other. I hope I fill his day with love and acceptance and hope he can move himself even when times are rough. I hope he and I are friends when he's thirty and I've given him a strong mind to find a place in this harsh world. I hope he finds friends that get him beyond what he does and loves all the nooks and crannies that make us lovelably human. I hope he is strong to stand up for himself and his values. And, if he has some left over, for those not as well off as him. I hope that I can give him some of this. I hope his life is filled with beauty and joy and so much more.

And fuck... I am tired. But at least on Wednesday nights I get to roll some dice with some friends.

I don't think you understand how excellent your credit is. Most banks won't extend different offers for an 830 and a 795. The amount of emotional energy you placed in this score isn't commiserate with either your actions or your score. It sounds like you're not using much of your credit and you're a high earner. You'll be fine. You'll be better than fine honestly. You are well positioned to have access to money to get mostly every material need you want with little hassle. You are more well off than the last majority of people in this world. Appreciate that.

Opening and closing a new accounts has literally no effect on your credit score.
The credit agencies pulling your report has a pretty minimal and very short lived.
Your score was an 830. I'll be surprised if it dips below 800. And that is still exceptional.

Unless you have an immediate need to get a really good interest rate, you should not lose any sleep over this.

Don't we all. Thats a picture of me and the neighbor kids playing dolls.

Guy comes from the burning of Guy Fawkes effigies on Bonfire Night. They would create these dolls of Fawkes where he was shabbily dressed and burn him for his prominent role in the Gunpowder Plot. Guy Fawkes and the gunpowder plot was not because he was an everyday man. He was trying to return the crown to being part of the Catholic church.

Child made effigy of Guy Fawkes

In the 19th century, the term guy was used to refer to a poorly dressed man. Eventually, his image changed as a freedom fighter and some, particularly Catholics, saw him as a hero in the 19th century.

Guy goes back at least a millennium and was always a male name. Its hard to know for sure, but it probably was the word for wood.

I don't know if this unpopular, it's just a contested opinion. Growing up, it was used either presumptively that masculity is the default or gender neutral. These debates are one way language changed. I don't know why people care as much as they do. Society literally doesn't fall apart because words change their meaning.

 

The singular of data in Latin is datum, but in English it's data. It is a mass noun where it's not easy to break it into individual, countable pieces. Something like sand is almost never represented in ite plural form of sands.

 
 

I've been rewatching Slow Horses. I remember that feeling I had during season 2 when it clicked for me. It just felt like there was something going on under the surface. And if you're paying attention, you could just smell it. Season 1 wasn't bad, it just didn't suck me in. It just felt like they were trying to show you how smart the show makers in addition to telling a smart and subtle story. Season 2 did away with that pretense and introduced some smart, subtle baddies.

 

This could have been anyone of us. If only we had the courage.

 

I was wondering others have this problem. I see a comment. There'll be a few replies to that comment and then a roll up of the remaining comments will be there. I'd expect tapping it will unroll the comments. But when I do, the bar changes to a rotating arc icon, and then return to the rolled up status. Which is to say, tapping it doesn't unroll it.

 

I'm currently setting up a windows 11 machine for a kid and want to make sure that their traffic is easily monitored. I've debloated much of it. Normally, I'd get rid of Edge and put on Firefox. But I noticed that Microsoft Family has the ability to monitor website usage.

I was wondering if there's similar functionality with Firefox or Chrome.

I'm most familiar with the iOS parental toolkit.

Finally, I want to let him have some access to some games, but I don't want him to purchase any games yet. I'm open to suggestions to getting this aspect locked in as well. I was just going to mimic my set up with Playnite. But I haven't really dug into it yet.
