I volunteer for a museum, and sometimes it is like a camp for adults. It’s a flight museum and we maintain antique aircraft in a flyable state. Sometimes I get to fly, and I’m always finding opportunities to tell people about how awesome these planes are, and the history behind them. And what I have heard from others, different museums are just the same, like being in camp.

Ask her what “value” is.

I started using Linux in a time when package management was barely usable, and I had a broken distro as a first distro. Too often I was chasing down answers all over the internet when there were few to share, and the diy aspect of arch is rather nostalgic for me.

I have arch on a few different systems. A couple of them, I used the script as I wanted to get them up and running quickly. It was very good for that, and I still had options in the script to make many of the choices and set things up manually instead of letting the script decide.

Needs me a recipe

I only wear socks when I have to, and then they have to match exactly. Otherwise, barefoot and flip flops as much as possible.

High sugar makes me tired, and if I don’t drink plenty of water, I wake up with a headache similar to a hangover.

My cat rolls off the back of the couch quite often when he sleeps. Usually he rolls onto the seat cushions, but it’s hilarious when he goes backward and falls into the stuff we have behind the couch. For reference, we use the couch to help separate the living room and the kitchen, and we keep our cans of soda against the couch. Poor cat falls into them, we laugh, and the he walks around all embarrassed and pissed. Never hurt, though.

I know you said you can’t leave because of family and stuff, but you do need to be somewhere that will get you away from the abuse you are getting. Get an apartment in your town, that’s a good start. And travel to the closest city to you. Central Ohio? I was in Columbus recently and was really digging it out there. Take a day trip or two every so often. Get out of that atmosphere.

I will agree there. But the mining and manufacturing potential is rather insane. We could make money back rather quickly.

I think a moon colony was possible at minimum the mid 90’s. I only think bureaucracy got in the way along with a very stunted space shuttle.

At the time, there were more stories about people abusing Ritalin than success stories. They were trying to protect me from people who would try to get my meds from me, but they realized that I never went out and about as a kid and the school office kept prescribed medicine in a locked cabinet for the students. I’m sure if they knew what it would do to me though, they would have been more apprehensive.

I was diagnosed early, around age seven. At the time, the only real coping mechanism was Ritalin and very distressed parents and teachers. It took a couple of years for my parents to relent and give me the drugs, but no real coping either. Not that I blame them, in the late 80s there wasn’t much outside of the drugs. It worked for me in school, but at a cost. No emotional output, no real friends, I was a zombie.

While I’m going on about my problems, what I want to say is that there are now better medications AND coping methods. Productivity managers, therapy, everything I wish I had as a kid. Get the kid into all of it as soon as a problem is forming and don’t be afraid to help indulge an interest.

Will Ferrell is garbage unless he is doing voice work. The only live action of his I liked is the little bit in the LEGO movie where he was the dad.

Henry Rollins in Johnny Mnemonic. Dude had to play a super nerdy doctor, basically a wet noodle. Let’s cast a guy with a nine inch neck and could actually water his way through most of the bad guy minions.

All capitalism is bad, and any attempt to rein it in is failure before any attempts.

And anything else in that category of blind bag collectables. Can’t do anything with it other than decorating a shelf, spend more money than it’s worth to get a whole collection and end up with too many multiples you can’t get rid of, and fake rarity.

I tried Magic Spoon based on a YouTube sponsor and I was rather disgusted with the way it tasted and felt.

I can’t speak for everything, but I can speak for e-waste. Especially printers. Those things are made cheap as hell, but constructed so you can’t just get off the shelf parts. Being able to take the machine apart, find a replacement for whatever party is broken, install, and reassemble, you might have just bought a new printer for the same cost as the part. It’s almost the same with laptops, phones/tablets, televisions, etc. Brand doesn’t matter, it’s all the same. Right to repair doesn’t mean shit if you can’t even make the repairs.

The delivery services are a boon and a bane for everyone. For the restaurant, you no longer need to pay wages or insurance for dedicated delivery workers, but now have service fees that cut into profits. The customer has to cover many of these costs in all these extras fees and service charges, but get did delivered to them. And the driver has to pay for gas and insurance out of the pitiful payments and tips they get. If you are in a rural area, forget about getting enough local orders to cover anything.
