There's very few humans that have enough time, energy, skills, wherewithal, and money to devote to 3+ kids to make these sorts of positive "three's company" interactions happen in the modern world. I am not saying that i

I mean, ok, they might just understand or they might hate their children with a fiery passion and never miss and opportunity to vocalize it and ruin innocent lives like my parents did? One of the two I guess.

I must be old (I am) because I have never seen a professor change an assignment based on student feedback on how hard the assignment was. I guess this sort of thing explains the drastic dip in quality in the jr engineers lately that I notic

I get my vaccines at the pharmacy. At my current age its flu and COVID every year. TDAP every decade. I'll be adding more once I'm in my 50s, which is rapidly approaching.

Residential units? Or does that include businesses too? Cause 12-15% for residential units sounds high for 1963. Air conditioning was extremely uncommon in my neighborhood when I was growing up in the 80s. I didn't personally know a s

Grand Canyon looks kinda meh on pictures/video. It's much more impressive in person. Honestly, it's amazing taking a picture of something that's breathtaking and the picture not being breathtaking.

When my (very smart) brother applied to be an apprentice electrician the waiting list was more than a decade long, lol. He ended up going to college instead (this was like ~15 years ago).
