  • I’m so glad I got to see them when they came through Fort Worth on this final tour. It was a great show, but leaving felt surreal. Almost like a chapter of my life was coming to a close. My buddies and I would blast Punk in Drublic while cruising around in highschool. I’d seen them play at least a half dozen times. And always looked forward to their new albums.

    Although I am looking forward to seeing what the members will do next. Codefendants and Melvinator have both been good projects so far.







  • I’m only commenting this because you said you’re stuck on Win11 and not defending it, but…

    Using winget and Chocolately will make your app installation much better.

    Also, to reload your path variable in a PowerShell prompt you can run the following:

    $env:Path = [System.Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable("Path","Machine") + ";" + [System.Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable("Path","User")

    Again, your gripes are all legitimate, but these might help ease your pain.


  • My cat is the very definition of a cat, totally aloof, fiercely independent, kind of an asshole. She only acknowledges my presence when she wants to eat. She loved to bait the dogs and get them in trouble for chasing her. No guests in our house have ever seen her. The only times she even allows me to pet her is when she has a mat she wants me to get out.

    The only exception is with my daughter. She absolutely loves her. As long as no one else is around she will love all over her. This picture was from about 2 years ago when my daughter got a nasty cold, and she watched over her the entire time. She even turned around and yelled at me shortly after taking this picture because my daughter started having a small coughing fit.

    This is the thing I love the most about the younger generations now.

    • Boomers: If you don’t like it do something about it
    • Gen-X: nah we’re too nihilistic
    • Millennials: sorry we’re too busy trying to survive on the scraps you left us
    • Boomers: that’s what I thought

    Now:

    • Boomers: If you don’t like it do something about it
    • Gen-Z/Alpha: okay!
    • Boomers: no, not like that!



  • I’m not so sure on some that. There is a reason Gen x was also called the latchkey generation. We pretty much had no parental support. Either because both parents worked or were single parent households.

    Prior to the 70s, dual income families or single parents were the exception, not the norm. As this changed rapidly through the 70s and 80s, child care and support systems did not evolve to keep pace. As these have become the norm, society as a whole has had a chance to catch up, which could be why you see more dads stepping up. Or most likely a combination of this and what you said.

    At least in my case, I am aware of how absent my father was and how it affected me, and I chose to not be that way with my kids. I’d like to think others feel the same way.
