And somehow, we survive as a species. Maybe we’re not doomed after all! ;)

Nah, it wasn’t that bad. As a parent, you learn to deal with poop. And puke. You’ve got to - you’ve got a little random puke & poop generator on your hands, after all.

Yep. As a parent, poop happens. That’s why you have baby wipes, spare outfits and spare diapers in the travel bag. Only no spare outfit in this case.

Son was 7 months on first flight to see the grandparents.

Yep. We never got to the second kid point though.

“I’m sorry, ma’am. You can’t hold your 10 year old in your lap for this flight. You’ll need to buy her a ticket.”

How about ‘small and crunchy’?

We understood this with the small and crunchy offspring.

Well, I’m losing sleep staying up playing this game, so it must be ‘good enough’ for now, lol.

The aliens don’t remind me of the ones in ME1-3 though. The Asari and Salarians don’t ‘feel’ right, if that makes any sense. You don’t get the impression that the Salarians are running on a jacked-up clock speed, (“We do things faster because we only live about 40 years” as it was explained in ME2, I think...) and…

Son got the Honda CR-V he ‘helped’ me pick out when he was 4, 12 years previously. He learned to drive in that car - we’d spend hours going around the subdivision with him working on control and maneuvering. (And doing 3-point turns. ENDLESS numbers of 3-point turns.)

You’re running for office?

Social graces get you a lot further than brutal, blunt honesty. The epitome of it is when you can tell someone to go to hell so politely they actually look forward to the trip. ;-)

Nah, I see what he posted as more on the order of ‘You should have bought what -I- tell you to spend your money on instead of what YOU decided was a better purchase.’

If she’s happy with it - that’s what’s important.

As I recall, there were little flying Volkswagen beetles in the first movie.

Fucking Onion Ninjas...

It needs to stay. It lets the states that don’t have massive populations have a voice in the system. Take Wyoming - it’s got two electoral votes, but that means it’s got at least some influence, which with a state population of about half a mil it wouldn’t have otherwise.

You can always design a test a car can’t survive.

Yeah, on that length a single traffic light turning red could skew the numbers.
