    Ha, come hang with me in the summer on a Saturday. We’ll start climbing a 14,000 foot mountain (thats like 4600 meters for my EU friends) at 5/6am with intent on reaching the peak before 12. Why 12? Because the afternoon thunderstorms are rolling in and lets just say lightning is electrifying at 14000…. Well, at any height really.

    Boring, never.


  • I’m no golden rule and I assure you, coffee date is on my profile. 1-2 dates a week. I’ve also had coffee… then some lunch… then dinner. All about connecting and not being a dumbass. No one wants to be trapped on a date that isn’t working, coffee or even just breakfast, is the best option.



  • Inspired. I’m in the 45+ arena and just divorced after a number of decades together. I was worried about it until I realized that I (male) did all the cooking, cleaning and paid most bills. I paid for vacations, kids school events, groceries…. Even parenting was lopsided.

    So my first date was just this tidal wave of insights into the shit I put up with. The gal just offered to have me come over and cook for me this weekend. I know she’s not the one, but damn does it feel good to just have someone else care.

    back in the 90s I worked for a pc tech shop and my buddy in a different office location would often quick draw customers and reactions, then fax them to me. It was a game, telling a story, all via fax. gah, I loved the 90s… today these same drawings would be on the front page for 1 day and then forgotten until some bot reposts them. But in the 90’s, we could tell adventure stories in 3 block panels to others via fax.

    I know, English is hard. It’s ok that you’re wrong, or to put it nicely, confidently incorrect.

    JPEG lacks the ph (eff) sound because, well you know, there is no ‘h’ in JPEG and that changes the pronunciation rules. based on your argument, we’d also pronounce picture as ficture. Or penis as fenis.

    So, a+ for effort, but F for accuracy.

    Fun tidbit though. Person, penis, and peg, all follow different pronunciation rules because the consonants that follow.





  • Your windows are superior in how they open, however the average American would need better education in order to operate them.

    I was just there in June and my apartment had 3 options for the window to open depending on latch position. One would open the top for venting, one would open wider with just the glass part of the window leaving the bug screen in place and another would open the whole unit so you could hang out the window and fall 10m to the ground.

    Best we have what are called double hung windows, top and bottom open (up/down or left/right side slide). Almost every house i’ve ever lived in has screens.
