  • I think part of it was the drill your brain with an auger kids shows were designed to be addictive to kids; baby shart, poop patrol, peppered pig, and the list goes on. I butchered the names but if you have kids or nieces and nephews then you know of these torture devices. I mean blues clues was at least tolerable, my sister loved that show. And there’s the tellitubbies, I would make fun of that to myself, stinky winky, but at least it wasn’t as bad as what my sisters kids watch now. My sister did watch the rescuers down under until the cassette broke sigh, so I’m surprised she didn’t have them watch that.




  • I know you have good intentions but I would say the US needs drop in hybrid motors to convert older vehicles. I can’t afford a new car for the next 10-20 years even if I sold both of my cars.

    I’d rather have a multi-fuel hybrid for emergencies; something that can run petrol, oil, diesel, ethanol, propane, kerosene, and wood gas. There are times where something like that is needed. Like powering a fridge and AC when a disaster takes out the power grid. I can tell you it wasn’t fun not having power for two weeks. I really liked the EV car idea of powering your house but what happens after you drain the battery? And look I live in a place that’s dumb enough when the power goes out, there’s a mandatory shutoff box for your solar panels in these events.






  • The video idea sounds pretty good.

    I went separate ways with my ex-fiancee over this topic. It wasn’t so much as I was against having kids, I had conditions such as financial stability and owning a home. And deep down I didn’t want to take care of two people and be financially responsible for everything, my ex-fiancee already had a hard time holding down a job.

    But like you said, even now that I have my own place, I’m more motivated to travel than get into that lifestyle. I’m sure I would have been a decent parent having worked in education but the tradeoffs are too steep for me.
