Love my Kindle.
Husband, Father, Gamer, Nerd
Love my Kindle.
60yo here.
I spent the first 40 years of my life in Portland, OR (it used to be a great city). Then I married a Soldier and I’ve lived in several other places. We started in Denver spent two years there. It’s a fantastic city, but really expensive. Then we spent 3.5 years on Long Island, living in East Meadow, I hated how crowded it was, what the traffic was like. My wife has an 18 mile commute that often took 90 minutes. Then we moved to Fort Knox, Kentucky. We bought a house off post. The cost of living is much lower than other places we’ve lived. Our town is 2600 people. The people are polite and kind and our plan is after our next PCS next summer, to return here when my wife retires at 30 years.
You get a reply just because it’s the quality of your post
That is a really interesting anecdote I find it both surprising and completely understandable.
Gosh, thank you so much!
This is my answer also. I wish I was multi-lingual.
I’m regularly on calls with people for whom English is not their primary language. Almost without fail they apologize for their poor English. I regularly tell those people, “please don’t apologize, you do me that courtesy of communicating with me in my native tongue. I am completely unable to reciprocate that courtesy.”
I’d love to be fluent in Spanish, French, German.
Given so many nannys on this thread, this is a fantastically helpful (if not relevant to the OP post).
In the States I’ve actually found Waze to meet most of my needs.
Cop: why are you nervous?
Me: I’m always nervous around people who can kill me with impunity and get a paid vacation for doing so.
I’m a free speech absolutist.
I’ve always found the python docs to be very complete.
Thank you. I love Rider, but rely on VSCode for Python. I regularly contemplate making the jump though.
Does PyCharm have remote editing? It’s a VSCode feature I just could not live without.
I laughed.
They’re working her too hard and paint her too little. In seven years she’ll be at 30 years and it will be time to be done.
It’s beautiful.
From where we live a bunch of interesting places are within an easy drive. Nashville, Indianapolis, Cincinnati are all three hours or less away.
The people are mostly kind and mostly polite.
The cost of living is relatively low.
The pace of life feels slower.
I can’t recommend Kentucky enough. It ain’t blue, but it meets your other criteria. House prices are very reasonable. We live just outside Fort Knox and when the Army is done with my wife we’re moving back
CDs? I started with Vinyl!
We are all responsible for our own mental health. The OP is not responsible for anyone’s mental health but his own.
Saying some discussion needs to be hidden away because someone somewhere may react negatively is patently ridiculous and damaging to society.
I have a trigger, and just like my self-harm it is atypical, I am triggered by parents showing pride in their children. Doesn’t matter if it’s real life, or film, or book. It always turns me into a wreck, and sometimes has me believing I’m worthless in dangerous ways.
Should my expectation be that those around me not show pride in their children? Should I demand warnings on all material that depicts parents showing pride in their children? It’s ridiculous. My trigger is MY responsibility.
To quote Trent Reznor, “I hurt myself today to see if I still feel.”
I don’t do “typical” self-harm. When my depression really gets me in it’s grips, I be fine myself banging my head against the wall.
When the internal pain gets so bad, the external pain can be a distraction from it.
This relationship can be saved as long as the guy’s wife does not start expressing an interest in Emacs. That would, of course, put an end to the relationship, but if she’s one of those “Notepad is all I need” types, there is hope this can be worked through.
