Alone with the twins today. Dad was going to come over to help but his car couldn’t make it up the icy driveway and slid off. Nanny was going to come in to help with the evening shift and then babysit while we finally went with friends to dinner that we’ve pushed off like five times over the last half year. Person in front of her had a chunk of ice fall off and it bounced up and broke her windshield. They kept driving. Wife left work a little early to help bathe the kids and put them down. Her tire exploded on the interstate. RIP dry January 1/2/2024-1/17/2024

I used to make over 200k but that involved traveling every week, and that doesn’t work when trying to start a family. Sure beat when I was traveling for 20 days at a time making 90ish though. I’m looking for a new job now though and it does sting seeing salaries at half of what I used to make, but the lifestyle should be much better.

LeeMajors posted:My mom and dad are very capable and cognitively 100% as they near 70, yet a couple years ago they got a call from the [county] sheriffs department telling them there was a warrant for her but they’d clear it if they gave him 300$ in gift cards immediately. When she asked for a badge number he started screaming that he was going to put her in jail so she hung up and called me crying and wondering if she was going to jail. I normally don’t answer for numbers I don’t have saved, but did this time. Got the fake sheriff bit. I got him with Hugh Jass, Ligma, etc jokes a handful of times over the course of a few phone calls. Surprised he called back after the first one since I pissed him off so much he started yelling lol

This has been taken by perfectly sane people as an endorsement of Trump and he is doing "both sides" stuff. I saw the replies to a tweet with the video and yeah the centrists were super mad about it. Disgusting.

Bird in a Blender posted:I meant we could've kept them as supplemental power. Yea powering an entire container ship with sails doesn't really work, but if you throw a sail on there and reduce energy usage by 10-20%, why wouldn't we want to do that? What's the downside to sticking a sail on a container ship? Have you seen a loaded container ship? Where the hell are you gonna put them? How insanely tall are they going to have to be?

Checking in as the guy who goes skiing fairly regularly (1-2 weeks/yr for a southerner) who has never been injured skiing. It’s been years since I fell. My in-laws have a place in Silverthorne so we mostly do Copper, Keystone, and Breckenridge when it hits the pass. Leaving for a trip out there later today. We might check out Loveland pass if it’s gotten enough snow. I hit 58mph last trip. Maybe I can beat that this time.

Bird in a Blender posted:I learned how to ski in high school and I did mostly fine, no serious injuries ever. I only ever skied in Wisconsin though. I would go 2-3 times a year, but about 10 years ago I stopped going. Mostly it was because I didn't have any friends that liked to go skiing, so there wasn't much of a reason to go. Now I'm afraid of how bad I would be if I took it up again. I took a not quite as long but close break during/after undergrad. Picked it right back up like it was nothing.

FizFashizzle posted:Nah that’s copper bowl. Ah. I jumped in around where the guy in the yellow is a handful of days ago. This trip was copper, Loveland, then keystone 2x. It was my first time at Loveland which was great. Independent, so you have to buy lift tickets but they aren’t bad if you get a four pack when they first come out. Food and drinks are (relatively) super cheap there. Free parking and shuttles. The lots were pretty much full on a Saturday and it still didn’t feel too busy. I hit my top speed of the season on my last day, which is nice. Only got one real shot at it but hit 62mph off of the Ruby lift at Keystone.
