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.
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?
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.
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.
What self hosted solutions have you been looking at?
I've used TTRSS ever since Google Reader went away, however long ago that was. Works like a champ, and there are one or two Android clients that talk to it.
Serious question.
Why?
Every time this happens, the people doing it pretend it's the first time this has happened in the last x number of years since the c64's release.
Although, this is the first time a project doing it has filled their entire site with unedited slop. Doesn't make me feel great about the process here.
Things I want from a project like this:
- Technical specifications and circuit board porn.
- Operating system details
- Wifi available, you say? Tell me more about the networking stack!
What exactly am I buying, other than a C64 case that's outfitted to look like an iMac from the early 2000s?
None of this is clear from the website.
It's an opaque project that provides almost no useful information on the product that they're selling.
Disney has pleasantly surprised me with how they're dealing with Star Wars. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt for now.

Sometimes, they write love letters to the fans.

Seen Youtube lately? I just watched a video on how to make nitroglycerin. Stuff like this has been available for over a decade.
Back in the days that home solar systems still mostly used lead-acid batteries - which in some cases of degradation could be repaired, at least partially, if you had some good strong and reasonably pure sulfuric acid - I viewed a YouTube video on how to make it. (From epsom salts by electrolysis using a flowerpot and some carbon rods from old large dry cells).
For months afterward YouTube "suggested" I'd be interested in videos from a bunch of Islamic religious leaders . (This while people were wondering how Islamic Terrorists were using the Internet to recruit among high-school out-group nerds.)
Software - AI and otherwise - often creates unintended consequences. B-)
HBO might not mean anything to Gen Z and later but for us Gen X and earlier, there was still a level of prestige associated with the brand.
It was stupid to throw that away.

I called it out on another branch of this discussion but I'm talking about things like, someone posts a question that goes something like this:
"Am I The Asshole for declining a second date with the chick I met on Tinder after she told me she was trans?"
Topics like this are ban honeypots because even getting too close to a verboten position will get you banned by Reddit.
I have seen it. I have been threatened with a ban for expressing the opinion that 8 year old children shouldn't be given sex reassignment surgery.
Reddit is toxic.

Ma Bell is a mean mother!
