Vampire was an instant earworm for me when it came out, because I'm a sucker for the Creep chord progression. That, and her energy in the song.

So it makes the occasional appearance in my otherwise mostly metal-dominated song rotation.

Ironically(?) her cover of Creep a while ago was the first time I heard her voice. It did make me go, "Huh. Not bad at all."

"What do you use for your creative design stuff?"

"Canva"

Tim probably asked an LLM for a clever insult and it spat out a Pat quote.

Another one liner that still stuck with me was, "why spend billions on foreign military dictatorships, when we can use the money to better take care of the one we have at home?" Some things never change.

It's a brand now. But the name predates duct tape by 50-odd years. It came from the "cotton duck cloth" used in the design.

This is how I find out!? FFS. Can I just crawl back under my rock, where he's just a foot fetishist that makes some movies I enjoyed?

Well thanks for putting that hilarious image in my head of what (outside) looks like!

They're also close to buyitforlife territory. Mine is >15 years old (1st gen i5!). The AM4 mount would've been free if I had the original receipt. But alas, I had to fork out $10 cause I was too dumb to have taken a photo of it back then.

Eh, I don't know. Ours had no trouble talking in full sentences by 2 without it. I'm interested to see some data.

Also our indicator of "pay attention to this" was, well, giving them some attention. Eye contact, touch, etc.

But yeah, sample size of one. Maybe you're right. I don't know. Kids are weird. ¯\⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Huh interesting. We had a chat with our midwife and she offhandedly said it would be easier on parents to skip the baby talk/voice, and just speak in your normal calm voice so the baby gets used to the "real" you.

I guess your story perfectly illustrates her point.

Haha! Not today, Onion. Not falling for this one.

*Looks at community..
Oh, come on!

I enjoyed drag as well

Took me way too long trying to figure out how that has anything to do with the topic at hand.

It's been a while since I've seen Drag. I wonder if Drag is okay.

I don't care whom you're attracted to, but you might want to keep this one to yourself... Unless you're in the FBI!
