I was just about to point out that the map is missing a small “yinz” enclave around Pittsburgh/Johnstown

That’s a risky thing to wish for. Could be awesome! Could be an unwatchable green screen nightmare.

I would absolutely have a blast being a full time stay-at-home Dad. We would hit every Park, library, zoo, and aquarium within a days drive.

Then during the summer, I’d pass their kids to their grandparents house so my wife and I could find a place to SCUBA for 2 weeks straight.

Have you ever played on boardgamearena? It’s a website where you can join a bunch of board games with people around the world. When it’s your turn, you have a certain number of hours or days to make your move (kinda like old timey chess by mail) and then go back to your life. You can be in many games at a time.

If it’s early and I’m under caffeinated, then I drink more coffee. If that doesn’t help or apply, then I assume I’m dehydrated and drink water. If that doesn’t help I try to take a nap. Usually by the time I run down the checklist it’s close enough to bedtime that I just turn in early. If none of that helps and/or I have stuff to do, then I reach for ibuprofen just because we are more likely to have that on hand than Tylenol.

I’m aware of all the dissatisfaction with DST, but hear me out… What if we just weren’t going hard enough? I propose Runners Savings Time. We set the clock forward like, 4-5 hrs. It’ll be dark during working hours, but then you’ll have some time to go for a run or do whatever during the daylight.

Around 2010ish I was thoroughly enjoying some Bells Two Hearted and other IPAs. My brother (2 years older) tried arguing that bud light is man’s beer, and my beers were fruity and girly. It certainly doesn’t matter to me, but the irony of choosing bud light, out of all the macro beers, is just 👨‍🍳😘>

😳😳 Hey, I’m a cishet man but thinking about joining jean-luc for some tea, earl grey, hot, really gives me the vapors.

Not exactly. I’m kind of a “learn what I need to to get by” person. I’m not really a Linux person… but my old laptop took 15 minutes to boot up, and the hardware obsoleted out of windows updates, so now I have Linux.

I ran out of space in Google Photos. I would’ve happily bought more space but they told me I’d have free backup space forever if I compressed my photos. When they changed that policy I realized I was being jerked around. So then I got a raspberry pi, and learned how to (barely) set up a server to run Immich.

I liked browsing reddit, but, again, I don’t like being jerked around, so here I am.

…As was the fashion of the time.

Also, I did set my mom with an account on my immich server, but last time I had her phone iOS wasn’t playing nice with the automatic backup. I think maybe I’ll take another swing at this.

The grandmother (my Mom) is probably the 2nd most tech-savy person in the chat. She has dug in on this on my sister’s side. It’s not a huge deal. I’ve accepted that I just need to wait till the defaults change. Any video I really care about I make her send straight to my wife.

I had never heard of that, but I love how part of their sales pitch is the negative review from Fox News.

I’m not OP but I might as well be. My family has a group chat that exists almost exclusively to send pics/videos of the kids to each other. It’s a mixed group of android/iOS, so the videos come through with 12 pixels. I have begged and pleaded for every key to switch to telegram, GroupMe, Gchat, Facebook… ANYTHING!!

But they’re all on iPhone because they specifically don’t want to be tweaking or customizing anything in their phones.

You should keep a boomerang next to your kites. Then if it’s windy, fly a kite, and if it’s not, throw a boomerang!

At work I have a standing desk, and the option to hop up into my tall chair. Is the moving desk better than this option? I’m guessing it is because my company is phasing mine out in favor of the moving desks… I’m just not sure I see the benefit. I switch between sitting and standing so frequently I feel like the whole team will get very annoyed with me if I had to be constantly cranking the desk up and down.

Dang. Congrats on your sweet tangents! Every race I run, ESPECIALLY that kinda distance, my watch is always going to be a bit over.

…But at least it saves you from having to use quotes or escaping out the spaces with \

Mechanical Engineer here. Although, most of us are either kinda’ into tech, or kinda’ in cars. I’m definitely not into cars.

Whoa, wait… diorama maker? Is that a hobby or a side gig? Do you have examples you could share? I’m quite curious as to what adult-made diorama’s look like outside of something like DnD.
