Silly Burrito posted:I had high hopes for that bill in Congress that would’ve eliminated standard time. Look they have real priorities like banning TikTok, shooting down 10k$ balloons with multimillion dollar missiles and playing brinksmanship with loan defaults. They don’t have time to do that thing that all Americans actually want them to do.

My day was kind of crappy because work has been super busy and my kid has been constipated, but I found out he pooped at daycare today so I don’t have to break out the suppository I bought this morning. So now it’s not so bad!

But also bullets aren't an option for shooting down weather balloons at 40k feet. quote:The military and Biden administration got some blowback for using $400,000 Sidewinders to take down four balloons, three of which are likely "benign" objects. But "the military's ability to respond to balloons and similar craft is constrained by physics and the capabilities of current weapons," The Washington Post reports, and you can't really pop a giant balloon with gunfire at 40,000 feet.

We specifically didn't shoot down the Chines spy balloon while it travelled across the entire North American continent and waited until it was over open water so it wouldn't crash on to anyone, then ruined like three different hobbyists science experiment at a half mil each.

Yeah I feel like after getting hammered for not shooting down the first balloon the administration just totally capitulated to the bullshit criticism and now we're just shooting down anything. I also think it's a little silly to line-item expenses for our vast military, like those 400k sidewinders are each specifically going to cost taxpayers exactly that much, vs. actually we just procure a thousand of them every ten years or whatever and they either get used or their shelf life expires and they get dismantled or blown up in a bunker somewhere.

booked a flight on Breeze Airways (which I hadn't heard of before) for the end of the month to go see the kid and grandbaby. Curious to see how this airline is, the tickets were a pretty amazing price for direct flights.

Gonna yell in to the uncaring void that deadlines are deadlines and county doesn't give a poo poo about why you can't make them, no matter how hard I try to make it work. On the plus side, I'm going to try out Wellbutrin and have a sleep study referral from the psychiatrist. We'll see how this goes.

But it’s ok because we are healthy (for now) and I would’ve been an awful parent if I’d had kids in my early/mid 20s. Plus we took 4yrs to be just married and together. 3 if you count from when we started trying to have a kiddo.

My wife and I had a few talks a couple of years ago about how it was basically our last chance to change our minds and decide to have kids. If we'd done it then, our kids would be graduating when we were in our early 60s. Kinda sucks to think about your kids only having a few adult years with you maybe before you get elderly and infirm and maybe need them to support you or maybe you're gone. Then again if you asked them, they'd rather have existed than not, and if you'd had kids at any other time they'd be different kids. In the end your kids won't wish you'd been older or younger.

I keep telling myself I’ll be way more mature, prepared, reliable and put-together than a 22yo kid but I know there will be folks biased against me. Should be an adventure.

If you have a decent idea how to use Excel, Outlook, and Word, you'll be more appealing than new grads. Also if you go to a few office hours and gladhand with the professors, they could be a great in to an opening. They know half the students they pass are barely capable of fogging a mirror, so if you're getting face time and asking questions they'll know you're leaps and bounds ahead of the majority of the class.

As long as you aren’t expecting to be paid like someone who has 20 years in that field, you’ll be fine. Some hiring managers will pass on your resumes, but plenty of them will also see you as someone they can count on if they can get you into the ecosystem of their company.

It's incredibly easy to learn, and like LeeMajors said, is the single most important thing to have if there's even a hope of the person leaving the hospital intact.

Even those few years would've made it easier on me when I was dealing with no sleep because of the baby. Sometimes I think back to my 20's and view it mostly as wasted and think maybe I should've had a kid at 28 or something, but I am in way better financial shape now, plus I was definitely not mentally ready for that. Some days I'm surprised I even had a kid because I was pretty dead against it in my earlier years.

Thanks for the advice. I’m really self conscious about making sure I get the material down pat, so I’m most likely going to have to be careful not to annoy my professors too much. I do have a fair bit of experience in office suite but it’ll take some review. But I’m way way into the material because I’m so focused on getting out of healthcare.

Shoot, I’ll be 44 when my kid graduates high school, felt early to be having her when we did (not in the grand scheme but I was definitely the first of my friends to become a parent), but looking back it feels just about perfect, I don’t aim on having any more so it’ll be good to still have lots of active years empty nest, and I can still vaguely maintain the illusion that I have any relationship to young people.
