The novellas are really good at filling in details. But they spoil, so take care to readin sequence

Finally managed to build back to something resembling a gym habit again. Completed my 5th week of pulling and pushing weak shit that was warm ups 6 years ago. Crossing north of 40 this year, but have decided to prove to younger self that older self can get stronger. It will just be a ... Long...

Well, mine also grew up in Eastern Europe and is happy enough living spartan. But this past year we've kind if been a really bad influence on each other as we've been building a new house. Instead of one partner suggesting something outrageous and the other being the sanity check, we've both...

FWIW I agree with you on this issue. 11 year old and 13 year old. Lots of talks about accountability and responsibility for their own choices, at the same time as I have rules I expect them to follow to the letter. Talking through the common dilemmas that they will encounter (boy/girl they like...

So. I'm boxing my way up the levels on Firiona Vie, and finally hit 65. This is the level I quit at more than a decade ago, and now I'm at a loss about where to go. I have three boxes with mercs. Looking for fun/loot/nameds more than xp. Any suggestions? Any items I should buy, or should I...

If my ex told me how I should parent our kids when they are with me I would be a lot less polite than your ex.

My ex was always complaining about me disappearing into my den to play games. So I bought an expensive gaming laptop to play next to her on the sofa. Then she found other stuff to complain about. So I ended up in the den. With my laptop.

SpaceX has the BFR.

They don't like my disapproval or disappointment.

Never spanked my kids. Never will. As chaos says; it's violence. Being their father does not grant me the right to cause them physical pain. I only need to look at my kids and they'll cut out any shit. It's called parenting

Just do Bannerman's and then Espionage from top to bottom instead. More fun. More productive

I don't even.

My little girl is 10 and all gangly. And she still reaches up to be held and cuddled. Loving it while it lasts

My turn to do a couple of recommendations: "The Bobiverse" series by Dennis Taylor starts with We Are Legion. Robert (Bob) is a regular guy living in 2015 (?) when he is suddenly hit by a car. Fortunately, he's signed up for cryostorage and his head is frozen as he dies - and he is resurrected...

A good martial arts school, and a rigid structure at home that includes housework.

It's been 2 months since break-up. Was contacted by a friend I've known for 4-5 years some weeks back; "so, we're both single it appears. Want a rebound?" Spent the weekend rebounding. Most enjoyable. First time I've had a friend with... an arrangement. So this is all pretty new to me. Just...

Rewatched Blade Runner today, and it struck me how much better the film managed to explore the concept of humanity in just a few scenes, compared to hours of Westworld. I still think ww is awesome, and works better for pure entertainment. But Blade Runner... Touches something that ww does not.

...Come to the wednesday quiz @ Smelteverket some time. Bring the virgin!

You know. I kind of live in the same place as @Denaut. I should go investigate.

Awesome as always. Now I need the next book. Can you have it ready by Sunday?

Break-up is actually depressingly mundane, compared to the going rate around here. We've been together 4 years. We knew about 12 months ago that things were shaky. In September, we put December as the deadline for either a) figuring shit out or b) going our separate ways. We didn't figure shit...

Yay! That's a good early christmas present.

Allright. I'm single again. I hope I will be able to share some good stories soon.

Agreed. That is dull.

I did. And made sure he knew.

My boss is getting demoted and will join my team. I'm applying to replace him. This will be interesting.

Having great fun. And I'm usually not into shooters. Origin: MherimAche. (Some times me, some times my son (right now he's pretty useless, but his reaction speed is vastly better than mine so as soon as he gets some tactical awareness he will be farming xp for me))

I wonder if anyone has calculated what the maximum dV boost from gravity slings exiting the solar system could be, and how soon the planets align for that configuration.

I'm guessing that would be a pretty kick in the back!

SpaceX's Big Fucking Rocket – The Full Story - Wait But Why

Started building a library for an RPG instead. First small steps on a several month long journey!

I started out with lots of ideas, and ended up with no inspiration. Got the basics of a platformer together, but got sick overnight - and I've just got no energy left to spare. I'll just have to come back stronger in December. (I also thought the theme was... challenging ;) )

Yeah I've done this so much too. :) At this point, it's not that I'm a good programmer, but my skills at copying tutorials and combining assets is at a level where stuff makes sense! Today I and the kids did a test run of our workflow: They made a couple of drawings, I snapped a picture on my...

Bump for #36!

(I looked around for a thread like this but couldn't find one - if there is another one, please merge!) I've been programming since I was six years old (= copying from the yellow pages in BYTE magazine into the state-of-the-art BBC Microcomputer we had in the 80's), and kept doing it...

I totally forgot about Thirteen. I need to read that again.

Which one?

That Dragon-video makes me want to play Kerbal again.

Aye, that's pretty much what I've concluded as well. Most recent pain was shoulders during bench press, so I stepped down on the weights and focused more on proper technique. Didn't do much to help, but I noticed that the heavier the weights, the less pain. (Or what it probably is: On lighter...

So, question for people doing lifting and other exercise that are nearing 40: Are joint aches and small uncomfortable pains just part of it? I've been semi-active all my life, but for the past year or two (I'm 37) my body has started to protest lightly every time I do benches, squats, deadlifts...
