I got twin 6year olds. Pokemon is huge in their circles. Played through one of the latest games with them on switch over the last year.

Yes

I hate that our media has started dishing out any and all details including heresay for months when some court case or investigation of notoriety is going on. If it is a missing billionaires wife, a raping gynocologist, resurfacing of the same 30 year old murdered kids every 3 years or whatnot it is at the top of the newspapers for months. I don’t want to read about that shit.

I don’t want assholes to get famous after doing illegal shenanigans. I would much rather read news about a farmer saving his horse. Or even shaving his horse which auto correct wanted me to type for that matter.

I try not to be there anymore, but there are still vestiges . But there are some group stuff i am trying to get to migrate to other places. This was a link somebody sent me.

Now that I think about it that commercial might have been on snap between stories. Snap is also bloating up fast these days.

I saw the same or a very similar ad on Facebook after a reel somebody sent me.

At least four includes five.

Me in my 40s

Glad you liked it

It’s really good. I’ve recommended it to many people before and every one who read it loved it. But it kind of leaves you with a bruised soul for a while after you’re done.

I read Flowers for Algernon as an adult. It hit me hard. I have since heard that it is read i school many places in the US.

Edit: I’ve only read the novel he wrote based on the short story, but I guess the short story is equally as good since it won the Hugo award while the novel won the nebula award.

Not all summers are rainy though, but it kind of feels like it. A normal good summer day is mid twenties. I’m from just about where the post is about. Futher south is more consistently nice.

I can only remember one summer with more than a day or two of 30+ degrees c. They are usually right to come here for more comfortable temperatures. We usually want to leave the other way when we have rainy 12 degrees summers.

I think it ironic that the South europeans have started coming here for “coolcation” only to find it almost as hot as down there.

Oh Lord. Before I found power bi 15 or so years ago I made interactive speeadsheets that did a lot of querying directly towards sql based on a set of input cells. Did a lot of crunching on the data merging data fetched from different database etc before presenting them in their own sheets. The worst part is that it was a huge leap from what we did earlier. Then I would write sql queries and dump the result to Excel every time management needed data.

I mostly use sql for data management stuff through c# .NET. But there is a lot of Excel and power bi towards the numbers people.

Computer engineer checking in. Same here!

So uh. Are you trying to infer that it is a tiny set of people/corporations, or that there are other Nations in on it?

I’m Norwegian. We have dragonflies. They are dope. But we don’t have any of those horrifying insects and eight legged ones that kill you. So I don’t resonate with the paranoia of checking your shoes, like at all. I am not sure if I would survive a week in Australia.

This game sounds like hell for me.

Well yeah. I’m Norwegian, so I have no business saying what you, or maybe it is they, must do with their system of business.
