Please also avoid saying “This is harder for us than you”. My MIL dropped that one on my wife after she told her about her miscarriage. The MIL did explain that while we lost a baby she lost a grandchild. So in MIL math she experienced the real suffering.

Can they rename the street now that they own it? I’m sure someone could come up with a catchy new name. Something appropriate to heal the racial divide in our country. I bet there are a few street names which would really upset the homeowners.

I think it is important for kids to develop their own musical tastes. Expose them to a wide variety and see what sticks. We tried to be pretty open minded about whatever they wanted to listen to and really avoided labeling anything specifically good or bad. If they liked a song we asked why - as they got older the…

My office is in the process of installing a hydrogen generation+refueling station. The process has been going on for quite some time and there have been many setbacks. H2 is the fuel of the future as in “when will the h2 station be running?” in the future...

I intentionally mispronounce it as “Dad” and do it for the kids when they get annoying. It’s been a decent motivator to keep them on their toes. They are not interested in their friends seeing me “dadding”. I’ve also threatened to break out the cabbage patch or running man if necessary.

I work until 4PM. A customer scheduled a call for Friday at 4-5PM. How annoyed am I allowed to be? Inwardly annoyed because me professional

Assholes are assholes and will not fit in anywhere. Plus most small towns subscribe to “ain’t-from-around-here” racism. There isn’t person on earth able to move to those small towns and be accepted.

I assume her boyfriend was also 13, he could have been 40 which takes this story for a very dark turn.

How are you getting feedback on being a teen today? Is there a teen control group for this week? NYC teens or a demographic cross section of American (or World-wide) teens? /s

That seems to be a standard car lease add. Was there something specific in the add that you found to be significantly different and noteworthy?

great article. Minor issue - the word you want to use is “damping” not “dampening”.

MIllions of people love living in NYC but I’m glad I don’t. Keep fighting the good fight and keep things nice in case I want to visit. If you decide to stop by my place feel free to park on the street - 30 day limit per space though.

She’s getting an MSW. The gateway to a career paying upwards of $22,000 per year. In a ranking of master’s degrees MSW has got to be last. I can’t image anything less impressive. My part-time evening MBA is more exclusive.

That’s the test bed for technology development and not really the self-driving truck. It’s easier to put the technology onto an existing truck than it is to build a truck from the ground up.

The general public might be ignoring autonomous liability but manufacturers and the insurance industry are deep into it already. In general most of the liability will be rolled into the cost of the car.

Simple. 85 players each getting one extra game check. I bet NCAA D1 football players get at least $0 per game from the NCAA right? Right??

Friends is incredibly popular with the 13-15 crowd. My 14YO daughter and her friends can’t believe we parents already know what happens in each episode. They also seem to doubt that I was ever not “old” so go figure.

Mechanical Engineering is the catch-all of engineering degrees. Want to be an engineer but don’t love chemistry, programming, or electronics then welcome to ME. Not true for everyone but ME is taught as a very general degree and it is up to each student to figure out what they love doing and then focus on that. Not…

The final step of my car seat tech certification was to participate in a seat installation rodeo. Free seats are offered to all in need and techs are on hand to install them. The venn diagram of people w/ kids but without car seats and people who care about their cars has very little overlap.

Retrievers are golden but labs are yellow. Of course a lab is a type of retriever. Pet peeve of mine (Ha!)
