I’ve had almost exactly this conversation with my father.

Also, is that baby Shaggy?

Will this still allow a mesh setup?

I misread “stinking” as “sinking” and, disregarding the fact that those are indeed not nails, was trying to figure out if OP wanted fasteners that didn’t go down all the way.

I’m sure there are use cases for that, but in general it seems dangerous for a few reasons.

Yo, the brain’s gotta poop!

Do they have any grapes?

Lil Dicky performed a song in which he sang “bitch, why can’t fruit be compared?”

My wife and I oft quote this to each other.

I think most people can’t just replay their childhood at will. I’ve recently been talking to my siblings a lot (and have also previously had similar conversations with my spouse about our history) and am often told that they’re very impressed by the scope of my memory.

However, the stories I recall to them aren’t just memories that I sought out and retrieved. They’re things that I was reminded of by the path of our conversations (or other external stimuli) - what you might call prompts.

If you were to browse my comment history, you would see a similar phenomenon: I tell lots of anecdotes and they are (at least in my eyes) relevant to the conversation, but for many of those stories, I didn’t have them immediately available. Instead they were summoned by the comment thread.

edit: Maybe this is an ADHD thing. That said, while I’m almost certainly neurodivergent, I’ve never been diagnosed with ADHD and don’t believe I have it. However, it’s not impossible and I don’t mean to invalidate your perspective, just provide mine.

I sure hope your balcony can hold the weight of an oak tree.

This sounds like the posting by an ex drug dealer emphasizing how running a drug empire gave him the skills to prosper in a legitimate career.

Also, though, I agree with your point.

Hey, you corrected them on needing to be corrected. Well done!

Not to distract from the importance of your point, but due to the layout of your message I spent an embarrassingly long time trying to figure out how you made letters extra thin.

Technically I was already hired at that point, but otherwise yeah, that was roughly my attitude.

That might enhance the effect.

I’m not exactly sure how smoke alarm logic works, but at least in my current and previous house, once one starts beeping all the ones in the house start; and removing the offending one doesn’t always stop the others.

Bean, seen.

According to my parents, I first started playing with (computer) keyboards when I was two. I haven’t stopped since.

When I was nineteen and at my first IT job, they encouraged me to fill in anything relevant in their skill tracking portal. One of the skills listed was “typing.” I marked that that was a skill of mine and entered “17” for years of experience because I didn’t know what else to put.

I was roundly mocked for this.

I do the same.

Only, I message my work friends on my work chat on my work device and invite them to become my friends on my non work chat (usually discord since that’s where everyone is, Signal if the friend in question is there). That way we can talk about anything we want, even complain about work, without fear of eventual retribution if a bad boss / chat admin enters the equation.

That’s the thing, I always thought my part was neat.

My best.

Now there’s a reference I’ve not heard in a long time.
