Our daycare taught my daughter this right away and since we are one of the first of our friends to have kids, all of our friends are shocked every time they see it. It really is the best thing when you live in a place where a jacket is needed to keep you alive 5 months of the year.

“Whatever the veracity of Tripp’s claims, you have to give him credit for just laying his case out there for all to see.”

A mid-westerner who is good at knowing this distance and procedure is like a southerner who is good at knowing when to pull out a ma’m or sir. Easy for the person in the culture. Hard for others to learn. I tend to give people a break in other cities when they don’t hold doors properly, but here we do it on autopilot.…

As an adult, half your age plus 9. So, those senior 18 year old boys should stay away from those sophomore girls, and they know it. You are 44 and want to date a 31 year old, go at it. pushing 45 and going for someone in their 20s has to be a one off, an exception to the rule, permissible by context alone.…

I’ve been very happy with my used car purchases using the 3 year 30K miles as a barometer. Bought a 2000 in 03 that lasted me until 2014 and probably could have lasted longer if I didn’t need to upgrade size, a 2008 in 2011 that I still drive, and my wife upgraded from my original car to a 2014 model in late 2014. All…

Name checks out.... :) I just watched while doing other things and listening with wireless headphones.  I could spend 10 minutes in another room listening and not feel like I missed anything.

Day drinking and basic house chores are a very relaxing combination. It’s my preferred mode of operation when I find myself home alone with no plans, which is rare considering the wife and kids are always home or have plans. Bathrooms, floors, laundry, kitchen, organizing a closet..... but no actual work like…

Point taken..... also home ownership and kids, but mostly prime. I will say it’s mostly what I need and does save me time going to the store. I rarely have to do errands on the weekends for the little stuff. I don’t use prime pantry, that’s Costco, and I really don’t want to see the data on that. I also don’t buy/rent…

A grill pan, veggie of choice, olive oil, and salt.

You picked the fight that so many others wish they could. Being from where we live, and visiting where we were visiting my wife once drunkenly opened up on an obviously rich son of the south who drove what he drove as a matter of self importance, and she was right, but our other friends censored her for her own…

I use a drop or two of Fee Brothers mint bitters.... and I don’t know what that makes me. No one else likes it, but ever since I made it experimenting with my parents liquor cabinet, it’s just how I take it. I’m not sure if I’m ahead or behind a trend, a monster, or just way off track.

What I see in the comments is others who have other complaints... I will never be a fanboy of anything, however from day one the use of a back button, real or “virtual” (I don’t know what to call it) on android phones has been the button I push most, and anytime I pick up an iOS device it’s simply not there. You want…

I could write a lot about this, but as a non-gamer I am simply happy that someone within the culture gets it and is able to bring it out. There is a lot to unpack between art and business, culture and integration. When I woke up this morning I didn’t expect to learn this much about something I don’t pay attention to,…

Every day. Where I live my daily drive has multiple freeway options, and an infinite number of city street options. Do I go south then east (all freeway), or east then south (country roads and freeway), or do I use a combination of diagonal city streets to go straight southeast? 9 times out of ten going south east…

Offering a way out is key..... even if you just want to stay friends. Having zero expectations is best because you never know how she remembered it. I have some people I just reach out to on occasion because I like them as people even though romantically everyone has moved on long ago, but I never reach out twice…

Thanks!

Agreed. In real life we need revolutionaries / envelope pushers / radicals because they are often still valid perspectives to consider, and time has told us that often their contemporaries use that term, while the future uses words like leader, brave, or well I guess we still call them revolutionaries.

Thanks! I’m sure there’s room for improvement if anyone wants to take a stab.
