in a roundabout way

Very good.

Our (working, we have 2, one is partly cannibalised) Wii is still the only console in the house.

Swoopies. ❤️

Piano. Self taught since Covid. According to proper musically trained people I’m at about grade 6. Whatever that means.

About every 5 years, usually when either the phone breaks, or key software no longer supported.

Some of us aren’t terminally online and a lot of us are from outside the US.

It’s good to see the situation summed up, and presented by an apparently credible broadcaster.

Makes me sick to my stomach, I hope everyone is accounted for.

Had an Irish colleague at a previous job. Asked him how he could possibly be this good at banter and he said everyone does this back home. General high level of banter by default.

Funniest fucking colleague ever.

Does anyone know when we even start to feel like a grow up? I’m sure I’ll look back at my 40s and wince.

Ah I see. Yep. And it’s easier to see it as you get older.

Didn’t want to miss out on the chance to diss myself though. I was as dumb as a rock back then. And in many ways, still am.

Er no. My progeny is a decade ahead of where I was at his age. Smarter and more self assured and stable.

He’s not dumber. But I’ve realised I am.

It’s snoozing.

Lots of lead shielding and warning signs to anyone coming from any direction other than the bunker door.

One very large and just-subcritical block of something with a long half life and just seconds of fatal exposure, between that and the door.

That’s a hell of a load bearing tailgate

Brilliant.

Understood. It’s going to get a lot easier then when they can make their own way in.

Oh fair enough if you’re ferrying them.

So the 30mins is essentially from latest drop off, to acceptable show up time at work then.

The person I replied to was implying they can’t commute longer than 30 mins because they have kids.

In a thread about finding jobs.

There’s a shedload of people including me for whom narrowing their job prospects down to only jobs within 30mins commute would be wishful thinking, and borderline ridiculous.

My ‘mate what are you talking about’ was based on my perspective yes, but there’s large swathes of people who would laugh at your privilege.

Nice for you I suppose. And nice of you to be so self-righteously hostile too.

I understand, but if you have to put food on the table, then that’s what you have to do.

I also have kids.

Mate I’ve done jobs that have had a 1.5hr commute before. What are you talking about?
