Yup. You knew what you were getting into. That, best case scenario from the child's pov, is going back to their real family. Always.

We haven't raked leaves in years. When we did last it was much more to create a giant pile for kids to jump into than for any other reason. All we have ever done for the yard is mow. And pick up what sticks are required to do so.

No, just a red potato. So good 😊

Just harvested our first ever potatoes for breakfast. Frying them up now to have with chicken and duck eggs and local sausage!!😋

Yup slim is what I've been using for ages. I'm disappointed that recently I can no longer get messages in it, but I accept that. Just have to open a browser and login there. Sigh

And, you'd be wrong. Works don't lose their copyright just because they go out of print and are hard to find. Thanks to Disney, copyright survived for the length of the authors life plus 90 years.

Exactly. It's the hours that suck, depending on shift. Do you forever want to live life in 3rd shift? If you have kids, you'll rarely see them... You'll be asleep when they're awake and at work when they are.

It's just not ideal for most people.

I just dropped ours down to 2screens, for now..I still think we may well cancel fully. But, we'll see.

Women lost the right to abortion, because of the previous administrations actions and ability to install judges to the federal courts, at all levels, but specifically at the SCOTUS level. Though it alsorequired that cases make it through the federal courts too.

I understand why I should care about encryption, in theory. In practice, 90% of the time, I don't. If I'm texting my kids 'hey where are you?' or my husband: what do you want for dinner?' or a friend, 'hey, come hang out!' - I just don't care. And putting up with all the hassles that come with encryption via matrix... It's just, generally, far more hassle than it's worth, IMHO.

Honestly, if Ubuntu hadn't pushed snaps so damned hard, I'd probably still be running Ubuntu. I don't hate them. But... They're just obnoxious. Honestly, I wish Flatpaks and Appimages weren't pushed so hard on other distros too. But, such is life.

True. The problem with that, is that Microsoft pays to have windows installed. Such that it's actually cheaper to buy a system with windows and delete it than to buy one with Linux preinstalled.

It's also very hard, if not impossible in some cases to find old conversations on discord, vs forums where they're mostly preserved for eternity.
