and the boys were already ten and eleven years old when I entered their life

I hope you got a good relationship with them! My son can't even talk yet. So, right now, he's just this cute thing that runs around and causes trou^H^H^H^Hgood things to happen.

Yes, I'm positive. You seem to have a passing knowledge of this, but obviously not a complete one. None of thoe things you mentioned are capable of getting firmware and configuration from the manufacturer to program a new replacement module or update modules with new firmware. "Just replace all of your car's electronics with things that can be flashed with linux software" is not a reasonable or sane solution to anything. Again, more white noise nerd rage over linux and the state of how things actually work in the world, not limited to your parent's basement.

Well, some of that is for classes for people who can't see that default 3-pixel wide scrollbar on Windows 11 in high contrast dark mode. :-)

Fair. Just making fun of Windows 11.

Yeah, you're blessed to have one of each. Until they start conspiring against you, which you KNOW is going to happen.
ha!

Hopefully we'll raise them better than that. And let them see us honoring our parents.

You charge to "upgrade" to Windows 11? How evil are you? :P

For all my pro-life ramblings, we were granted only one child.

Precious. I feel bad you couldn't have more though. G-d has been very generous to us.

Keeping up with two toddlers after age 50 can't be easy.

And yet i wouldn't trade it for anything! Thank G-d, we have a lot of help. Especially, when some neighboring girls come by to take our son for a walk. G-d bless them all.

What kind of car do you drive? I bet there is no way to repair it if it needs modules replaced other than with windows software. b You probably own other things that are similarly reliant on windows-only software. So are you really serious about this position or are you just being smug?

The LTSC version has no problemswith upgrades. It's what anyone complaining about this stuff should be running if they need windows, and contrary to the nerds who's hobbies consist entirely of sitting behind a desk there are many, many things that absolutely only run on windows that do not play well with VMs and/or the consequences of failure are simply too high (like programming vehicls modules). And no, there are no alternatives in the overwhelming majority of cases.

Journal Journal: Verbiage: Kids are heavy 6

So, my son is around 20 pounds now. At my age, that's heavy. My left shoulder became sore from holding all the time he wanted to be held. So sore, i slept on my right side the last few nights just so it wouldn't hurt. But not only that, my daughter just had her one-month checkup and is at 7lb 9oz. She's also getting heavy. Sometimes, i want to hold her all day, but after a few minutes, i have to give up. She lying on my right shoulder as i type this right now. :)
