I always go with experiences over stuff. I want to do something with the people I care about and collect memories instead of things. It gives people the freedom to be as frugal or lavish as they want and I don't have to store or return anything.

The only surprising thing is that Moscow mitch voted with the democrats.

10 people were killed in an oil well explosion in 1955. A large group of people had gathered to watch the well be torpedoed (early form of fracking). There's a small plaque at the site now. It's next to a pretty good brewery. https://wchsutah.org/miscellaneous/escalante-well-explosion.php

People who grew up with abstinence only education writing laws for the next generation.

Kind of... It's really that weird bridge period between the two generations. 1980 seems to be the sweet spot. The further your birth year is from it, in either direction, the less tech savvy they seem to be.

I think they're all lying, just to mess with us. Not sure why we're specifically left out of the joke, but it goes back generations.

Stem cells? Does he know what party he's hitched his wagon to?

Wow. This is serious.

My kids are in a Chinese dual immersion program. I will never complain about English's foibles ever again. Holy shit is that a terribly inefficient language. Thousands of years of civilization and they're still doing pictograms. I can't even imagine writing a program in Chinese. I'm not sure it would be possible.

There is only 2 basic core values.

The right: some people are better than others, and the betters should rule. They differ on what makes someone "better", but that's about it. The left: Everyone is equal, some people need more help than others. They differ on who needs the help.

A few years ago, my wife and I left the Mormon church. That helped a lot. Along that line coffee makes me happy.

I get the frustration, but I also get where the authorities are coming from. Imagine if precident gets set that a political candidate can be mired down in lawsuits, regardless if they're plausible or not. Then someone like trump comes along and says cool that worker great against me, I'll just throw a shit ton of made up lawsuits and cases against all my future opponents.

 

I'm celebrating my datahoarding problem.

Other than some shelves that I made for my office. This is the first piece of furniture I've ever made. Lots and lots of mistakes and do-overs. Still, I think it turned out pretty good.

Coffee table. 2 36"x36" sheets of birch ply, with 1/8" Poplar hobby boards glued/nailed to it in the design. The ply was stained with homemade Iron Acetate stain. Then epoxy was poured onto the recessed parts and in all the cracks. Then the whole thing was sanded again and covered in many coats of Lacquer... lost count.

The table uses a mechanism ordered from AliExpress that folds out to a table. It pops up, and to the left, then the top of the coffee table is rotated over the other "legs" of the mechanism, and it becomes this table. Just high enough to comfortably game from the sofa. (The plywood surface was stained with Minwax Golden Oak and coated in about ten coats of lacquer.)

 

Reddit refugee trying to understand the differences. Maybe I'm missing something but it's not obvious what the difference is between "Active", "Hot", "Top" etc. Any place I can get an explanation?
