43 with a cat. It's funny how much my extended family on my dad's side encapsulates the generational divide. My eldest aunt moved to Maryland, and had 5 kids, the youngest of which is 7 years older then I am. All 5 of them have married and each have multiple kids. I'm 43, so right on that breakline between X / Millennial and have a younger sister and 5 younger cousins all of which are 5-10 years younger then me. Not a one of us have a kid, only one of us are married at all, and 0 plan on having kids. Couple of the elder cousins married stupid wealthy too. Like "sends a christmas card proudly mentioning her fundraiser for Ron DeSantis" rich.

Also I found a bug today where our name parser breaks if someone enters a provider with the same first and last name. Which is really annoying because how many Dr's could there possibly be in the US with matching names and secondly, that's the exact kind of bug I'd expect to have been found in testing as surely someone would've been lazy enough to put in Smith,Smith as a dr name somewhere.

Yeah, SI hasn't really had a place for a long while as a magazine, but you'd think like... writers, reporters and photographers should be the kind of thing that should seamlessly transfer to the internet, but we utterly failed at it, just completely gutted journalism and entire industries instead.

I haven't seen any of the show, but the list of clip titles upon typing "Reacher" into youtube is amazing. Can a biker gang handle Jack Reacher? Jack Reacher prison fight Jack Reacher DESTROYS a child hijacker Jack Reacher vs Dog abuser Jack Reacher absolutely destroys a wannabe gangster Young Reacher doesn't apologize to bully's parents This might be the most "this is what conservatives actually believe" piece of media since the first Taken movie. Has Jack Reacher defeated MS-13 yet? Can he personally stop Black Blackwater?

T-Square posted:Post the Artisinal Board Games Moonrakers is fantastic, one of our group's favorite faster games. Way it works is on each player's turn, they have to pick a contract that has a bunch of card requirements and rewards points, money and sometimes cards. But are mostly too difficult to do solo, so you need to find people to help you for a cut of the profits. You then turn around and buy better cards / ship parts with your profits, and it's a race to 10 points. Great, great game. There's also a couple expansions that do things like give you an extra benefit for teaming up with people and a very degenerate expansion that introduces way more upgraded cards as well as new mission types. I love that last one, but it lets the game get very silly towards the end as you can like burn through 30 cards by yourself no problem soloing the hardest contracts, which does help the "no one will help the dude who needs 2 points to win" drag the game can have. Fully recommend the base game to start, it's pretty great right out of the box

I recently got Divinity Original Sin: The Board Game, which I apparently kickstarted back in 2018 and showed up a bit over a month ago, so our group started cranking through that as a legacy game. It's pretty neat and I think they did a solid job converting that into a board game, and it's really fun having a solid idea of where everything's gonna go and just letting the others who haven't played it just make all the choices. The guy whose house we play at compiled a list and he has... 24 games he kickstarted that are supposed to come in still. We have so many games that have never hit the table, SMH.

I fell into a hole of forgotten tv show intros and I just need to post this one that is very clearly ripping off Freaky Friday. I get why the guy did it, he had nothing really going on, but Sharon Gless had skins on the wall. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOGW2Cku5AA This is from the great year of 1979, when NBC greenlit everything they could get their hands on and premiered and killed a couple dozen shows including 3 separate Animal House ripoffs, Delta House (official), Brothers & Sisters and Co-Ed Fever, which was mercy-flushed after 1 episode because... jesus just watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhnSvmLOd3Y

Back in that era I was visiting Hong Kong yearly and buying tons and tons of bootleg game CD's and I remember this one RTS I've never been able to find anything out about, I suspect the game was never released. There were 4 factions, kinda starcraft style gameplay, one of which were fully plant units and another that were these weird salamandar monk looking guys with psionic powers. Game was really neat but would inevitably crash after like 20 minutes. I probably enjoyed Total Annihilation the most out of RTS's. Just building gigantic defense networks and watching the AI throw endless numbers of enemies at it. Just fun to watch. Terribly balanced and so many utterly useless units, but man they were cool, no matter how long it took them to setup, start launching the slowest, inaccurate projectiles imaginable. trevorreznik posted:It's a lot of fun. I watched most of it a few months ago after powering through a pretty rough Park Chan-Wook (lady vengeance) and needed something pleasant and familiar. Just kept watching more and more scenes in it. Man, I love Sympathy for Lady Vengeance. The scene with the parents and the videos is one of the most intense scenes I've sat through in any movie
