As someone who wishes someone had told me... Adults don't know what we are doing either. It took me way too long to realize I'm not an imposter pretending to be an adult, we are all just kind of winging it.

As you grow older you'll have seen more stuff and it will be a little easier, but I can attest I don't have a clue what's for dinner, just like I don't know what new headache the next meeting will bring. Live life for life's sake, the clock will keep ticking whether you're ready or not.

Just tossing this out there because I wanted to read more about it.

Edit: the interview with her date changes it a little... I guess he helped her get the poo back to the toilet... So strange, thank you so much for this article OP!

What about this one? Corners like a beast and only exists to prove it can be done... And pretty damn amazingly.

Back 20+ years ago I used alternate data streams to his my collection of files (the ones you find online as a teenager) behind a text file. You can shove anything you want (I think) in them, even including extensions to make sure it opened in the right program (i.e. test.txt:malware.msi).

Still just kinda looks like him. If I go far enough back it kinda looks like an alien I suppose?

One of my favorite short stories and a really neat way to view the world. It's hard to be angry at others when you feel they are more like you than they seem or realize.

At this point I think my OG Droid box is almost a family heirloom.

I feel that people not following the wording kills a lot if the experience, obviously the DM is god and makes final calls but, some stuff kills it. I remember playing with one guy that wanted every fight to be epic but he didn't really understand the wording in the monster manual so he would constantly throw huge battles at us and underpower them or just play them weird (like dragons that aren't smart despite their int score). Before ever seeing level 15 our characters could have taken out God's with the gear and crap he had given us.

Fun memories though so I guess it really doesn't matter, it's all about how you like to play.

Yeah but shouldn't the order matter? My understanding was that && just said 'after the previous command, run this... ' so running upgrade before update would miss any changes changes to repos... From what I can tell update is required before upgrade (just like you have it), doing it in reverse missed a ton of updates for me.

I mean that outlook, while it's cool for your campaign, it would make raising the dead (to fight for you) pretty difficult as I thought most animate dead type spells required a dead creature to animate and wouldnt work with an object, otherwise people would just make small effigies to animate instead of summoning the dead in battle.

Personally I used to love it, if the DM did that it inspired players to play; usually whoever had theage would say something like I can't destroy what I can't see and the the fun starts... Someone throws flour from their pack at it (or dirt, oil, something to make the invisible object visable in another way).

I haven't played in over 20 years so I'm sure it's changed a lot but that kind of stuff was fun to me.

I may be totally confused but I've also always done it in that order, otherwise I feel like it would run upgrades from your cache of the apt repos (possibly hitting errors as stuff likes to change), then after it would run apt update (updating the repos).

My thought has always been update repos, then check those repos for software upgrades. I could definitely be wrong though.

Take some time off my dude, it's not worth your health and being that guy will get in the cracks before you realize something is off. After taking two weeks off recently I came back to the world on fire and have started to realize I don't care that much!

I am lucky to get the time I do (It's more than most people I know) but I recently too two full weeks off to spend with my wife for our 20th anniversary, it was amazing. After I got back to work I had hundreds of emails to catch up on and so much extra work that had piled up I started thinking about all the extra work I had taken on over the years to "cover down" for people and then realized that was the most consecutive time I've taken off in the past 9 years.

I think it's time for a change. Not a job change per-se, but time to start taking time for me, my family, and my health.

Actually the reason it starts to swerve is because the boat trailer is moving faster than the tow vehicle; at least that is the impression I get by the fact the boat tires are turning faster than the tow vehicles (swervy line longer than straight).

Personally I think had they applied a little trailer brake (not truck brake) going down the hill, it wouldn't have been able to fishtail like that. Probably shouldn't go off what a random internet stranger says, but while I've had a couple trailers get squirrelly in my life, none have done that.

I've been wondering about the viability of using the modem in my Jeep, it would be cool to see what it does on a test bench with some spare sensors sending test data.

If I decide to keep the car (been debating trading it for an older truck), I'm definitely removing it at the least, but its hardware I bought and I love playing with old discarded hardware.

I've found lots of rocks in bags of beans over the years, could be a regional or economic thing too (just as a point of reference, I grew up really poor in the South). As a kid I remember pouring them out on a backing sheet to sort them, little did I realize I'd end up doing something similar as a teen with an AOL CD tin.

Haha, yes, he has played that one quite a bit!

As much as I abhor violence, precharged pneumatic (PCP) options exist. They aren't firearms, anyone can own them, and they can come with really fun features for plinking (like full auto variants and moderators so they are whisper quiet). I say for plinking but I guess I've seen them ranging from .177 cal (think bb) all the way up to .72 cal (more like a shotgun slug).

It is a beautiful hobby but you have to remember they can be deadly, typically holding around 4,300psi in their tank. Please shoot safe if you decide to go this route (not advocating for violence, a tire iron could be a weapon too).

Just tossing this out there, if your son hasn't seen it yet, show him Portal. I showed it to my son when he was starting to get into computers and its still one of his favorites in college.
