There is no requirement that you do. I'm completely unsure why people believe that you must allow shitty human beings in your life because they are family. Fuck that! Allow people in your life who make your life better. If that's family, that's great, if it's not family that's completely ok also.

Obviously that cat had a Tom in every port.

This is fucking amazing engineering! Smart people doing amazing things is so inspiring. Good for Bezos taking some of that wealth and investing it in such a fascinating project.

I think a child up until about 18mos is a baby. A new born is an infant.

We're a Sonos family. Listening to Sonos right now as a matter of fact. But this really bugs me. I don't allow voices control in my home so was interested when Sonos brought out their own version. I've contemplated rolling it out, but now likely won't.

Is make fine furniture and finish writing that video game I started about 8 years ago.

Me in High School, carrying a torch for a girl who was completely uninterested. We're skiing at Mount Bachelor, I missed the exit from the chairlift and they wouldn't let me jump down, so I ride the chairlift down. Of course girl I was carrying a torch for saw.

Or...

Fast forward about 45 years. Last weekend I was at Lynn Family Stadium with my wife, watching LouCity play. Just past the second half restart, I'm standing up from letting some people go down our row to their seats. I decide to put my drink can in the cup holder before sitting down all the way. I bend over and over balance. Go falling down over the row in front of us and the aisle beside us.

You can pick which is more embarrassing.

I'm 247.5 Oreo Cookies tall, that is many more Oreos than most, but not as many as some.

Thanks! My wife is a Soldier. We sometimes have interesting conversations about stuff like this.

Truly a tragedy when people cannot live their lives because of fear.

Our government has completely lost its way. The Founders would be both appalled and ashamed.

My ex and I saw Rob Roy in the theater together. She has never been able to watch Tim Roth since that film.

If there had been an earlier interdiction, I'm reasonably certain the Nazi's Final Solution would not have come to fruition. Or been stopped far earlier than D-Day. I'm pretty sure Senator Graham's argument is exactly that.

I don't think so. My father was in the RAF during the war. Bombed by the Germans and shot at by the Japanese. He is also the reason I'm a pacifist.

His brother-in-law was part of the BEF, that was rescued at Dunkirk.

Neither of them were particularly chatty about the war.

I think that for those that faced the horror of the war, almost all of them would have preferred not to have to endure that brutality. If an earlier intervention with Hitler could have prevented D-Day, I think most veterans of that conflict would be all for it.

Truly repugnant

Douglas Adams did this one. It didn't turn out well for the whale.

This is amazing. I already love the train, this would be my dream mode of transportation.

I did that in Minecraft just a few weeks ago!

I absolutely love this.

I have read through book 10 twice. I have listened through book 10 once (currently half way through).

While I love Horatio Hornblower, I love Honor more.

I do not read science fiction. It's just not my thing, but when War of Honor was published, Baen published it with a CD of all the prior books bound into the cover. I thought this was a cool thing to do and wanted to support it, so bought the book with no intention of actually reading it.

Well that plan didn't work out.

You'll discover as you get deeper into the series that even Honor knows she's literarily related to Hornblower.
