  • That is way too nicely built. For the true Gen-X feel you need cinderblocks and plywood.

  • Amazing.

  • The man smoked 3-4 packs of cigarettes a day, so that's all you could smell. Thankfully we didn't have to sleep there. My parents would have us stay at the motel/grocery/gas station/bar/restaurant/video store/boat rental/fish license place in town.

  • Pretty sure she’s 10 lbs lighter after her haircut

  • That's good to know. She for sure has the husky undercoat. When she was a puppy she feels into the pool when it was 20° out. I took her to the vet to get her checked out and they told me she was just fine because of the undercoat.

    The only reason we went so short is because we are moving to Connecticut and our new house is in a very wooded area. So ticks are a real threat. Since we don't have a lot of experience dealing with ticks we decided to cut it short so we can better see them.

    Of course she is on Frontline but still didn't want her giving them a ride back into the house with all her fur. Once we get settled and are able to assess the property and hopefully get some tick defense stuff in place, we'll let it grow out again.

    I'll be sure to keep an extra eye on her when she's outside. She's such a cold weather dog that she sits in the shade almost exclusively unless it's the dead of winter. But that is in Texas. I'm sure she's going to love Connecticut.

  • Also, since it always comes up, she was found on the streets so we don’t know her back story, but had her DNA tested. She is:

    • 39.3% Siberian Husky
    • 17.1% Cocker Spaniel
    • 15.2% Bichon Frise
    • 8.8% Pomeranian
    • 5.3% German Shepherd Dog
    • 4.7% Maltese
    • 9.6% Supermutt (with traces of Alaskan Malamute and Small Poodle)

    The Husky and German Shepherd Dog come from Mom. Dad was everything else.

  • Amazing.

  • This is me with unsaved files in VS Code. Every so often I'd go through and try to clean them up but it stayed around 150 files. I got a new laptop a couple of weeks ago and I've slowly crawled back up to about 15-20.

  • I absolutely hate the package management in it. I can't tell you how many times I've found a cool python project, downloaded it from GitHub then tried to install requirements. And it turns into a huge nightmare of trying to find compatible packages. It'll be like you need wheel v3.1.0 so I try to install that,.then it's like no you can't do that because it's not compatible with numpy v79.84.1 that you have installed. So then you search and try to find which version is compatible, then install they go to install wheel again,.and it's like no you need pandas,.so you install pandas but it like sorry I'm not compatible with the version of numpy you installed.

  • A couple of years back I fell asleep at like 8 PM and slept through to 6:30 AM. Then I fell back asleep around 8 or 9 and slept until noon. When I woke up I didn't feel tired at all. This had been the first time I felt like that in I don't know how long

  • Whats the last thing you laughed at so hard that you lost control of yourself?

    Jump

  • I was watching Best of the Worst from Red Letter Media, the episode where they watched Blood Debts. My wife walked in the room to give me a kiss before going to bed, right when she leans over, lips puckered, ready for a kiss, Mike's voice breaks through and we both here, "faced with a strong desire to watch a Filipino rape film." She just freezes, gets this look on her face, and starts cracking up, which then made me start laughing. It was one of those situations where each of our reactions kept making the other person laugh harder and harder.

  • What are you most looking forward to?

  • We're currently under contract to sell our house in Texas. 2 more weeks until we close. My wife has been up in CT looking for houses, but the market up there is insane. We've put in 6 offers on houses and lost 3 of them. Still waiting to hear on the others. But house or not we are out of Texas at the end of this month.

  • I honestly believe this one is a gorilla marketing gimmick. Like they purposely went back and removed references to it so any time someone brings up the Mandela Effect their name gets mentioned.

  • Can confirm, I'm right on the edge of Gen-X and Millennials. I was the only one of my friends who had a computer pretty much all the way through elementary school. And the only reason we had computers in our house was because my dad was a computer engineer. By the time I was in highschool pretty much everyone had at least a family computer.

  • I was making salsa and the recipe called for a clove or garlic. I thought the entire bulb was a clove. After I chopped up and added like 5 or 6 of them my wife came in and saw what I was doing and put a stop to it. But seriously, that was the best damn salsa I've ever had.

  • What is Superman's "kryptonite"?

    Jump

  • It's a really great book that I recommend to even the most casual Superman fan and especially people who think Superman is just an overpowered boy scout. It explores how Superman has evolved over the decades through the influence of different writers and artists and how their personal experiences and cultural shifts helped to evolve the character. He also examines the character’s transformation across other media, including radio, television, and film. Like how the now cheesy sounding, "It's a Bird... It's a Plane... It's Superman" originated from the radio broadcasts that had to adapt a comic to a non-visual medium. Or why they didn't just write a Superman comic in the 40's where he goes and defeats Hitler, because they didn't want to take away from the GIs or give kids false hope that Superman could just swoop in and save the day in a real life situation. But they also didn't want kids to think Superman would ignore what was going on, so that's when they started introducing a lot of off-world stories.
