My autistic 7 year old needs AT LEAST a half hour in bed of just jumping. We put on a story on CD for her or some music, zip her up in a pop tent over her bed and just let her jump. I check on her a half hour or hour and make sure she hasn’t pulled the covers off of her bed and that’s about it. She goes right to sleep…

I finally heard about and picked up an Oculus Quest! I just finished Vader Immortal and I think I’m going to move onto Red Matter next. While also occasionally getting onto Rec Room with some friends.

The technology on this thing is just blowing my mind every day.

My Macbook slows down from time to time... I guess. Not enough that I consider it a problem (like my wife’s windows laptop).

What I want to fix is that something will start running or websites will start using just enough resources to cause the damn thing to heat up to where I can’t call it a “lap”top anymore. (cause…

Anybody know if there is something similar for Firefox?

Questions about the rig that I didn’t see on their site:
Does it play PS and Xbox discs? And if so, does it play them from a single drive that the PC can also use?

A month or so ago I went to a wedding where the officiant asked everyone to keep the phones put away.  That was the first time I had heard that at a wedding (it has been a few years since I’ve been to a wedding) and thought it was a super interesting cultural moment.

I’m having a blast with the game, I’m on level 102 and haven’t paid a thing. But it is interesting how easy it feels like the more difficult levels feel like they are requiring you to pay money (I’ve seen a couple people express that in the comments and I have felt that as well at times).

It was a good job. The only issue was that it was remote and it was my first time working remote and it was their first time having someone work remote. So actually the problem was the opposite direction as there wasn’t enough management.

But I hear what you are saying. In the interview it didn’t feel nit picky or…

I had a hiring manager see how many years I stated I had experience and then took a look at my list of previous employment and added up the years to see if he got the same number. It did not and, luckily, asked me about it and I was able to explain it.  But just something to be aware of.

I use Bound and Bookmobile. Bound is the easiest to get an audiobook onto your iPhone for the reasons you mentioned. Bookmobile seems to be able to play more formats.

What I’d like is a audiobook player that looks like audible but connects to online storage.  It attempts to discover the books you have in your storage…

I saw someone asking about going a Christmas. What about Thanksgiving? I was thinking about flying down a couple weeks before Thanksgiving. I figure the week before Thanksgiving would be insane with everyone with family in town, but the week before that would be pretty dead as everyone would be planning on going the…

How specific is it search the goodwill site. I did some test items in Amazon? Every time I clicked the extension it just opened up the shopgoodwill home page.

We got an Impossible Burger from a local Red Robin and the thing was GREASY! It was greasier than the Wagu Burger I had at an airport lounge the other day.  I had heard that Impossible Burgers contained a lot of fat, so I don’t know if that greasiness was a feature of the burger itself or just the way Red Robin…

We have a completely non-verbal daughter (she’s 7, CP and Autism, uses a communication device). In the special needs community we’ll hear other parents say that their child is non-verbal and then in the next sentence talk about something their child said.

Oh good. I Wanted to like Jemisin. I liked the premise of the Broken Earth and was excited by its accolades. But I just really didn’t enjoy it. Maybe I’ll take a look at Hundred Thousand Kingdoms.

I was so upset at the episode last night that I read these spoilers just out of spite!

You know, I was thinking why is HBO finishing the show so quickly where there is oodles of money still to be made off of this show. And I wonder if what you are observing here might be the/a reason: that ending the show as quickly as possible allows them to make another adaptation later if/when Martin finishes the…

I disagree. I feel that the show has gone so WAY off the beaten path of the books that none of this will actually be in the books. Especially the Arya scene. In the after show, the creators specifically mention the only reason they had Arya kill the Night King was because it subverted expectations as Jon is considered…

So how much can one make doing this? Say, few hours a day surfing the web.  Assuming the most profitable gift card.  How much a month?

I remember a health class in college where a police officer came in and talked about sexual deviancy. He mentioned guys masturbating in public and every girl in the class said they had had an experience like that.
