We had a son (4) and a daughter (2) and my wife really wanted a third. I wasn't that excited about the idea, because we had 2 children and one of each seemed like plenty.
I was a pretty firm "no" for a long time, but she eventually convinced me during a particularly hot and heavy night.
Our youngest is now 10 and she's an absolute joy. I can't imagine my life feeling complete without all 3 kids. It's one of the greatest things she ever conned me into doing.
Then I got a vasectomy.
Yeah You know me
Before he passed away, my kids' grandfather bought all his grandkids their first 22 rifle. Some of the cousins were still infants but he wanted to buy them something. He was a prolific hunter and marksman. My kids guns all lived in the safe until they were old enough to shoot them, and now they live in the safe when not in use. You can give guns to kids all day long, that's not the problem and the gun is not the problem.
Let's not forget the Fish Cam. You could press Ctrl Alt F in Netscape and go to a live stream of a fish tank in like 1994

Decide I need a VPN.
Install VPN again from CLI
Run VPN which disconnects my ssh connection
Even when I get home, the server is headless so I have to locate a keyboard and mouse before I can fix.
Shaka, when the walls fell
The thinking is that a gunshot is always lethal force. If you want to stop the threat most effectively you aim for center mass. So in this case someone is attacking you with a weapon capable of causing death or great bodily harm and legally you can defend yourself with deadly force.
The Sun Does Shine - I was a supporter of the death penalty until I read this book. It totally rocked my world and I realized how totally wrong I was. There are evil people in this world, but I am not God and I don't get to decide who lives and dies. Also, if there is even a small chance that someone was wrongly convicted, we can not kill them - we make ourselves murderers.
Really this book made me rethink my entire view on systematic racism, the prison system, and the death penalty.
There's not much reading involved, it's got a big picture of a deer on it.
Less than 1000 responsible gun owners? We're just making up numbers now?
I have definitely written code in my sleep. As to whether it would work in real life who knows, but I've had dreams that I was coding. It's very annoying to do it in your sleep and then go do it in your awake as well.
Any of them still receiving security updates would be fine.
Aliterate as all Americans almost always are
Power stone was such a great game. Didn't it also have little mini games on the memory card?
In medieval England it was trendy to make nicknames by rhyming with a shortened form
Robert -> Rob -> Bob
Richard -> Rick -> Dick
Margaret -> Meg -> Peg
William -> Will -> Bill
All being pretty common examples. This was covered pretty early on in the excellent History of English Podcast
That will vary widely. Near me you can kill as many as you want, it's legal. Now why you wouldn't eat them is beyond me, since they are delicious.
In our small town - just a few thousand people, in an extremely red area of an extremely red state: there is a lady that stands on a corner of the main street though town (1 of 10 intersections). She wears her mask with a Gaza flag pattern and holds a Gaza flag with a small poster board that says like "Free Gaza" or something.
I support her right to protest, but I'm not sure that it's doing anything or what her goal even is. No idea what her protest is designed to do other than virtue signal.
On the other hand I spend time in February making sure my kids and friends/family on social media see images of civil rights protests - brave people attending school or sitting at a lunch counter.
I think protests can work and can change things, but context and strategy matter a lot.

The way to send the message is to vote third party. Every Republican I talk to tells me it's a vote for the Democrats and every Democrat I talk to tells me it's a vote for the Republicans. In reality it's a message: We want something else. I really feel like Trump's message in 2016 of draining the swamp had a lot of appeal to people. I live in super red territory and many of the hard core trumpers I have visited with have expressed that our current system is broken and corrupt - they felt like Trump was going to be at least something different. It's a powerful message, unfortunately it's Trump and therefore unconscionable to vote for him.
We need to legitimize and destigmatize multiple options beyond the two terrible parties.
List is hella whack
