We had a legit swear jar in a vocational class in HS (in the 90s). It was 25¢ per swear unless is was at the teacher, then it was a dollar.
We had pizza at the end of the semester from the proceeds.
The teacher later got canned for throwing a hammer at a student, but it was after my time there.
They’ll probably just force you to use an app that gets removed from the app stores when the next breaking OS change hits.
My wife and I have said the same thing about our son when he’s had a cold. But never when he could hear us.
It’s a bummer that he’s such a good kid, but winds up when tired after school. Except when he’s sick, then he’s a calm dude who just wants to sit and read, and is happy to wash hands, eat dinner, and head to bed without thinking.
He’s even said he’d rather not play games or screen time. It’s too bad he’s feeling like shit those times though.
The dogs like the lean-to, but we still sleep in the Bus (no mice in it!).
The tail was right there!
You have to go to the failing farmland parts of VT. Way up north and east of Burlington.
There are lots of small towns with nothing but a dollar store or a 45 minute drive to a Walmart. It’s weird because half the places have those American/canadian friendship flags and the other half have confederate flags.
I thought that when I got started, but I really enjoy the building and briefly enjoy the results. Then I’m happy for the owner to take it away while I cross my fingers that it all keeps working.
It’s equal parts problem solving, fine motor skills, and perseverance that keep me working on old cars. That’s why I’m not at a dealership or quick turnaround repair place.
It’s also why I’m poor
The cable I recently bought at Microcenter mentioned support for 24 and 48v charging.
“We have reached out cruising altitude if 6.5 feet, please feel free to unbuckle and move about the cabin if we’re still in New Hampshire”
They can keep Toledo now that they’ve ruined it, but it’s clearly a chunk out of Michigan if you look at the maps.
Fucking Ohio. Except Cedar Point maybe, haven’t be there in 15 years though, it might suck now too.
We were getting on a flight to leave Boston that afternoon. It was a little weird in the airport, but the full situation hadn’t set in yet.
Ironically the flight home from LA a week later was more stressful, as there had been the manhunt and nighttime capture of them at that point.
My brother was house sitting for us just a couple miles from MIT and had to be locked down, but it wasn’t the direction they went after the security guard incident. I think they ended up in Watertown if memory serves.
Also kids learn to rhyme words around preschool and will invent the bad words anyway while babbling away. Most people give them a pass on this I think though.
We let our son know when he found words that aren’t appropriate for public use both when he “made them up” and when he heard people using it in songs or other people talking, or mom and dad in traffic occasionally.
He got the concept right away, but he’s also a great kid who wants please most of the time, especially at school or in public.
I’ve been thinking of setting up a node at my local ski area, both for others to use, but also to make custom timing equipment that can send start and finish messages to the timing computer and keep us from having to haul wires up icy race courses all winter.
I’ve never actually set one up or used one yet though, so it’s probably a few years off.
Real Boston pizza (chain) was Papa Gino’s anyway.
I loved them at the time. And I was only young a teenager. Including the OJ stuff, which was such a huge part of the culture at the time.
His laughs were more like the kinds of uncomfortable sounds many people make watching things like The Office or the harder hitting Daily Show stuff a decade or more later.
Still not as bad as NH though!
So you’re saying it’s not going to get better for me next year either?
I know NiMH are way easier to charge, but lifepo4 has better capacity and way more charging cycles I believe.
The tricky thing with iron phosphate is that the voltage level between 75-80 and fully charged is very flat, so it’s difficult to reliably know the state of charge.
Switching to LiFePo and making the batteries easy to swap along a trip, is a better way to reduce fires.
Or solid state maybe? Not sure how flammable they are, but I know LiFePo are much lower risk than standard lithium ion (Nickle cobalt or whatever Tesla and the big Chevy trucks use )
Edited for spelling
In printing it’s a little different, but if you need an exact color you can add it to the process, much like adding a varnish or other fancy finish.
Orange was always a problem when I was a designer. It had to be specific, you had to send a Pantone chip along, hope it hadn’t faded or changed color over the years (or buy new ones constantly) and then it still came out different than planned.
