I’ve never met anyone with this disability as vile, hateful, violent, or senseless as any of them. And that’s saying something because once one beat me up on the playground.

That clubhouse ties the whole squad together

This is easily the most interesting thing anyone has said to me on the internet in ages.

Why cracked and not crushed? Does the powder mix and create a weird residue?

I know you’ve got the experience advantage on me, so I’ll take that onboard. I bet it’s still an issue with mead making though. I would love to make a high ABV mead without having to fuss about step feeding.

Holy smokes. What’s this about “very high nitrogen demand”? Do you think it needs extra nutrients/DAP?

Can’t believe I clicked that. I fancy I know now how it feels to be an elf hearing the language of Mordor.

How does he know?

Going to start this course today actually, didn’t realise

Called it, huge omissions likely remain

The Iron Giant, Wall-E, Her, Blade Runner, A.I. Artificial Intelligence, Metropolis (2001), Astro Boy. Probably forgetting some really good examples though

I liked it, but I’m a sucker for “robot wanna be a real boy” type stories

I’m partial to “the devil shits on the biggest pile”

If things are really bad it’s just “living the dream”

In times of crisis, you’re liable to find out what you’re really made of. For all of history, unassuming folk have been surprised to find that they are made of pretty stern stuff.

That’s not to say we all come out of it looking heroic. In order to do that, we must be fortunate enough to realise that just because the world can be cruel, doesn’t mean we need be.

I guess I’m so many words my answer is that you will have to trust in yourself a little that you’ll know how to look after yourself. The real trick is going to be looking after the ones around you who make survival so much easier in the long run.

I see you around a lot, and you’re consistently doing exactly this. I really respect that.

You might just get some paint thinner and try to use a swab to get the paint off the optical sensor

To equivocate, being a parent is by far the most difficult thing I’ve ever done, easily four times as hard as I expected. I have never been so ill used, overwhelmed, driven mad, exhausted, and neurotic in my life. And the only reason for all that stress is how much I want to do a good job. If I was stupid and didn’t give a shit about him, it would be pretty easy, as you say.

That said, actually worrying about doing well is a promising early sign in a prospective parent.
