A year ago we moved to Kansas from Iowa for work. None of us were very excited by the move and there have been a lot of things we have not enjoyed. The kids missed snow and 3 months of regularly hitting 100F has been a bit brutal. But it hasn’t been all bad. The wife and I got to vote to shockingly preserve abortion rights and I remembered how much I enjoy the apocalyptic thunderstorms of the southern Midwest.
Dad was an HP salesman. I'm over visiting, and he can't even find the toilet. Probably the last time I'll see him

I’m so sorry ❤️
I am sorry. <3
Best to you.
Hopes for strength in the way things are now, and hopes for strength in what's to come.
Good that you can have some time together, even if it's a bit rough. All the best.
I know this feel, and I wish you and yours all the strength and peace in the world.
*hugs and vibes* for you and your dad
<3
Positive and affirming energy to you!
Yeah I've spent an hour trying to explain to a retired mathematics professor that his doctor is changing his meds because of blood work. And I'm not sure he got it, we just gave up finally. It's cruel.
Thanks, everyone. We last saw him mid-2019, and while he'd had reduced mobility, he was still sharp. For obvious reasons, we couldn't visit. Now, towards the end of the evening, Dad's getting very depressed, saying stuff like "Please let me die".
I remember Dad replaced the batteries on this calculator just after he retired, and joked that he reckoned that these batteries would see him out. I haven't checked this one, but he used to note battery change dates on all his devices in pencil inside the battery compartment lid

❤ to you. We're there too. So hard, my mother was so meticulous and now she'll drop her drawers without a thought. She thinks I'm a girl she went to school with and wants her mother desperately.
It's the absolute worst.
My siblings and I are all rethinking our own end of life plans. Genetics keep our bodies alive too long.

probably a repost but I missed this wholesome news, look it's a BOOK TRAIN, this makes me SO HAPPY
BOOK TRAIN BOOK TRAIN
THIS IS SO WONDERFUL i am DELIGHT

we don't deserve librarians
Oh, book train sounding louder
Glide on the book train
Ooh-ah, ee-ah, ooh-ah
Come on now, book train

This is amazing!
Ooh the gravity hopper.
The only way this could get better if it made the pleasant chime running by as the trolley did in 'Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood'. Of course, it's a library, so.....
What a delight!
*Buttle
So fetch!
@GroggyGrognard that would be nice AR effect - opt-in, of course
😻😻😻
Happy!
@GroggyGrognard ++ my brain immediately went there as well
For context, Dr. OZ goes into a grocery store.
He had a message to send to PA voters.
It was not the one he actually sent with this hysterically out-of-touch video:

Today I learned that television-famous physicians don't call it a 'vegetable tray' like the peasants do.

I have one friend who calls it a crudité, but he's a cajun who went to culinary school
We call it crudité, but asparagus sure wouldn't be included. And salsa and guac go with chips, not veggies.
@me3dia JOE BIDEN BROKE HIS WIFE'S CRUDITÉ WHAT PART OF THAT DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND DON'T VOTE FOR THE COMMUNIST FETTERMAN WHO PROBABLY CANNOT EVEN SPELL CRUDITÉ
I had a long standing Sunday night get together with friends, and I would call it crudité, but only to be a snobby asshole.
What luddité doesn't know crudité?
To-do lists are great for getting stuff done.

living in the mostly-former-swampland that is illinois, this is my eternal summer status
My first car, a 1959 Buick LeSabre, from when I had to sell it back in 1988. Oh how I loved this beast. Two tons of steel, 250 horsepower, no seatbelts, curved glass, fins forever. You could be driving along at 55 mph, stomp on the gas and still feel yourself thrown back in the seat. Broke down all the time, but I learned so much by repairing it. A lot of fantastic memories wrapped up in this old beastie, I wonder where she is now, hopefully still operating.
Beauty.
AWWWW what a great car!!
Gorgeous, and a great story. That thing probably has more space in the trunk than many modern pickups in their beds.
Now _that_ is a Cruising Vessel
@wjcstp - surprisingly, the trunk is smaller than you'd think, and fairly useless for larger things - it's broad, but shallow, and tapers pretty drastically, and the lid does not lift very high. I carried a chair in it once, and had to use a half-dozen bungee cords just to keep it stable.
But the engine compartment was so huge, I could sit on the fender with my feet inside while working on the engine.
Isn't that Brad's car from Fast Times?
@kokogiak It looks really long from that angle, but I think those fins fooled me into thinking the trunk would also be deep
@dapete - close! Brad's is a 1960 model, a bit more rounded and subdued. There was one briefly in Raising Arizona, though. http://www.imcdb.org/i061748...
Those fins a positively *horny*...
Fiat 600 Multipla Torpedo Marina, 1956, by Carrozzeria Boano. A one-off beach car based on the rear-engined Fiat 600 Multipla by the Italian coachbuilder.

OH OH OH OH this would make the best geology car oh my goodness!!!
- looks like it's smiling at road as you drive towards rocks, matching smile on face! ✔
- can look at rocks without stupid glass getting in the way ✔
- can reach out and touch rocks ✔
- can pile rocks in car ✔
- good with sand ✔
- can gently nudge cows out of the way ✔
- can sleep in with stinky feet outside car ✔
- can air out smelly geology packs ✔
- can air out smelly geologists ✔
- can blast AC/DC at antelope ✔
- can call out "ciao baby" at rocks as you drive away with hair streaming in wind and joy in your heart ✔
what a happy car!!!

That reminds me. I need to change my slack profile pic.
Now kiss
You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.
Wheeled cart! All it needs is a space for cartridge storage.
ooh, color!
ProTip: That's a two man roll on shag carpet. Guess how I know.
Almost had it - I had a Colecovision, instead.
@GroggyGrognard ooh, look who fancy! I have very specific memories of being blown away by the Colecovison Smurfs game.

I love big turrets and I cannot lie.
Believe me, I would definitely be wetting my pants if I knew I was going overboard.
This was part of a survival training class i did while in the Army. Not frame 6, but the rest of it.
This was a standard part of boot camp for US Navy back in '91. It works. If you had to stay afloat for a very long time for rescue, this could absolutely be the difference between floating several hours and several days.
I kind of hate the Navy for making me face my mortality so many times while I was so young.

Plus it makes it easier for horny fish to get to my jibblies!

Jumping off a ship to inflate pants means you will likely dislocate your shoulders when they hit the water, thanks to today's ship sizes.

LOL
Hehehehe
You got to admire hope.
Having said that - reading AT HOME IN THE UNIVERSE by Stuart Kaufman and MICROCOSMOS by Lynn Margulis would probably be a good 2-book starter set to help this dude see understand how and why we are still SO FAR from being able to program emergent properties into a physics / chemistry / evolutionary biology simulation...
Any good programmer is going to be lazy. They should just bootstrap with git clone physics_lite and work from there.
maybe start from the big bang, there's gotta be some academic code published on those kinds of simulations, then just like ...... let it run
Ah, the reckless ambition of youth, the jaded fatalism of age, once again they meet.
What if God was one of us, just a stranger on the bus, trying to make his way home?
Just learn Feynman diagrams, from there it's a piece of cake
I heard a guy pulled this off using TRS-80 Assembly Language back in the day, but the cassette drive failed when he was saving the 25th tape, and he just didn't have the heart to start over.
Let me know if your simulation recreates that too.
