I took up the title of the Oregon Trail Generation. I am not Gen X, and I am not a Millennial.

The reason us 30-35 year olds hate being associated with Millennials is because we keep getting lumped in with the jackasses of Gen Z, like this douche.

Depends on what you consider a Millennial. By all definitions, the Millennial years range somewhere between 1980-1999. Depending on your source, depends on your exact dates. I personally like the Center for Generational Kinetics dates. They classify a Millennial as anyone born from 1977 to 1995.

I understand that is an issue with Hue also. Either way, you have to worry about someone turning the switch off.

I like smart switches. In fact, I went that route for my ceiling fan and and down lights so far. I just went with the Wemo switches since I have not been able to decide on which hub I want.

Obviously you are not understanding the words that you read, my friend. There is one comment, in the grays, that is refuting it. There are a few others who have had contradictory experiences in life, and have shared that. They didn’t say this study is bullshit. People are discussing siblings and who accomplished what…

Depends entirely on what you think is a long way and what your priorities are. I suppose my commute would be a long way to you. It averages out to be about a 20 minute drive, 16.8 miles. Google says it is 22 minutes.

Because anywhere in my reply I made the claim that the US was greatest country in the world... It is definitely not a third world country though. Never made a claim that the countries that I listed were inherently below the US, dirty, or anything of that nature.

You know, they aren’t giving advice for eating street food in Namibia right? It doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with clean water either. To quote one of the places in the article:

I must have been saying my middle name wrong for many years. Because the way I say it, it has a long email sound. Very much rhymes with teeth.

The best answer for that is, yes and no. Has it become common usage like HDTVs or smartphones? No. Is it continually growing with more people buying into a system? Yes.

And that is perfectly fine. Not everyone shares the same needs or desires. And while you may not personally do the grocery/cooking thing, I’m sure your wife has some sort of plan before going. My wife is the primary meal planner and grocery shopper. I’m the better cook and get home earlier, so I do most of the…

I take it that your primary means of getting food is going to a restaurant. Just a guess, but from everything you just said it sounds like you do pretty much no cooking in your household. Well I suppose you could subscribe to one of those services that send food to you or something.

To be fair, most Americans pronounce Berlin like that. Assuming your ‘BER’ is pronounced like ‘BURR’, as in cold, that is. If it is more like ‘BAR’ then yeah, that’s jacked up. Not 100% which you means as NH is one of the few states I have never been to.

This is one area where I am grateful that I have an apparent iron stomach. I spent two years in a job going to places like Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Germany, and the Netherlands. Ate at the local restaurants, drank the local water out of the tap, and just generally did all of the “no-no” things like that. Never bothered…

Let me reply to point two first. Please go back to my previous reply and read what I wrote. I understand not everyone was into Star Wars, just as not everyone is today. As I said, I don’t disagree with that.

I am not disagreeing with that. Not everyone got swept up in it, just like not everyone does today. Just that the whole “generational” thing doesn’t work seeing as he was 24 at the time. The way the statement was written, it made it seem like he was old at the time of release. Perhaps if he was born in ‘23 instead of…

He was 24 in ‘77. Not like he was a 50 when it came out. So he was right there around the age to fanboy it out over Star Wars when it came out.

For someone’s first tournament like this, it isn’t a shock that he got hammered. Plus from what I read through these comments, he wasn’t playing with a very competitive deck to begin with either. I don’t play Magic, so I cannot comment on it’s strength or weakness.

Most definitely, it wasn’t the job itself but the situation that the job put me in. Granted, I did do a lot of walking and heavy lifting in that job. Every 5-18 minutes we had to walk 150 feet to our test platform and remove the 100+ pound object we just tested, put the next one on, then walk back. Depending on which…
