Ha! Nice try.

No no, she still plays golf and stuff. But she can be rather reckless out in traffic. She has another bicycle anyway, this is no longer her daily driver. I know, I sound like a concerned parent; she admits it herself and has taken a few tumbles in the past few years - and tumbles from bikes are better when you're 8 or 18, not 85.

Good to know! I'm in tiny little Denmark though.

That's the thing, I don't. 🙃 But I don't ride mine any more, and my mum really should stop (she's 85). 😅

Right? When mine went, I found an LED bulb for like a dollar and a half thinking, this can't possibly hold. But so far, it's held up for 2 years.

I have a big pile of bulbs still, both 60 and 100 watts, because I knew they were going out of stock. What do you need?

The last 10 years, I've only bought a couple of incandescent bulbs for my lava lamps - and those are, thankfully, still available.

My biggest blocker by far in moving away, is calendars.

My family has so many interconnected calendars (I personally have 12 on my phone right now) and I still haven't seen that anything else can do what Google does with calendars. My entire family (minus ex wife) is using Gmail on our own domain, and the ex still has r/w access to our kids' calendars (for noting play dates, doctor's appts, etc).

Even syncing Google with Outlook is pure hell - in both directions - and that's before you start adding the interference from employers' firewalls and shit.

How about "Nine Ten"?

Seriously though, my firstborn got a rather specific name which was (and is) totally fine - it just set us up for some serious brain racking when it came time to come up with another name that wasn't comparatively boring.

I'd suggest something that:

• you can spell when you hear it
• you can pronounce when you read it
• in all the languages that you care about

That narrows things down quite a bit, I've found. It also makes life so much easier for the kid bearing it.

“A man walks down the street in that hat, people know he’s not afraid of anything.”

I've been in that sort of position. I'm continually struggling. Maybe it's the adhd talking, but the absence of justice is truly aggravating.

In a completely different ball park, watching someone use a computer without touching the mouse because they simply know all the keyboard shortcuts/commands for everything.

It always grinds my gears like nails on a chalk board to see users select text... click on Edit: Copy, click elsewhere, click on Edit:Paste, click on..... c'mon c'mon c'mon already!! 😬
