What will probably happen is Trump will say a hundred stupid things no-one bats an eye to. Biden will screw up one soundbite and conservative media will twist and beat that dead horse until it get reincarnated.

“World’s Best Dad” mug with the word “Best” crossed out?
First computer, Tandy Coco 2 (TRS-80) in 1988 or 89.
First phone (other than a landline) was a Motorola bag phone around 1996(?)
Yup, and this was here in Canada.
In grade 2 I burnt down a shed causing $2000 damage in the 1970’s. (Around $10,000 in todays money)
I was playing in the shed and decided I wanted to build a fireplace… out of wood. (In my defense it was a type of laminate, so I didn’t know it was wood at the time.)
My kids are grown now so my comment probably isn’t all that relevant anymore, but I don’t think there should be a set age to give your kid a smart phone. Different kids mature and learn at different ages, even ones from the same household.
For my kids, I got them their first phones in their early teens but those phones were somewhat restricted so that we could still communicate easily but we knew they couldn’t get into too much trouble with them. As time progressed the restrictions slowly lifted as we knew we could trust them more to not get into trouble with them.
I’ve always believed it’s not a parents duty to protect their child from the world as much as it is to prepare them for it. Of course kids are going to make stupid decisions if you let them go too far (we all have) so I think it’s more about slowly easing them into things and helping them make the right decisions the best we can.
I agree, I used to work for a company that made mobile homes in a an assembly line fashion. Two of us could cut and assemble all of the interior and exterior walls in under two days for an 80 foot home. It’s all the other stuff that took time and a lot more people to piece together.
That makes me a little more sad.
I’ve watched the first season (8 episodes) and I think it’s pretty good. I personally think the first episode was a little slow getting into things. If you don’t know anything about Fallout it may be a bit confusing at first because they don’t really explain much of the Fallout lore or how things work in that world, but it mostly all comes together by the end of the season.
Apparently they’ve already greenlit a second season so that’s awesome, I’m just sad we’ll have to wait until probably next year to see it.
Mid-Eighties Plymouth Voyager minivan. Put the pedal to the metal, and the damned thing would hardly accelerate, the motor just got louder. Probably would have been quicker if I rolled the window down and flapped my arms. And if you look at one spot too long, that part would break.
Things like this are why I think the whole Facebook “encrypted messaging” thing is just a scam to try and look like they respect your privacy. It doesn’t matter if you have the best encryption out there if the doors are wide open for them on either end and they’re keylogging everything you do.
It’s really hard to say without being in that specific situation, but if someone was literally trying to kill me my only goal would be to put them down and make sure they’re not getting up to try again.
Someone trying to kill me or my kids. Maybe I’d still die but I’m taking that person with me.
Going to the dentist. Someone in my mouth like that bothers me to no end for some reason. The last time I had a toothache I yanked it out myself at home with a pair of pliers.
Unfortunately, I’m actually going to the dentist in about 4 hours from now because of two impacted wisdom teeth. I should have done this a long time ago but I guess I’m a sucker for punishment.
Still not looking forward to it, but I’ll be happy when it’s over.
My neighbor begs to differ. That jackass is completely brain dead.
If I was to ever get myself into that position it’s going to take 3 doctors and a voodoo priest to get me out of it.
Ah ok, that makes sense… trying to build up trust I suppose.
Don’t a lot of scammers spoof their numbers?
I for one am quite comfortable not giving them any more of my money either.
No. A cold is a virus, you won’t catch one by cooling yourself.
