    @Jolly said in Not me...: Mom ain't no spring chicken. Can you imagine raising your first child at 42? At 42, my wife had one child going off to college... Rachel was 42 years 7 months when the boy was born. I was a couple months from turning 41. My sister’s experience was more like your wife’s. There are pros and cons to early and late. My sister got a masters degree and changed careers after becoming an empty nester at 38. She had more energy for a toddler than I did. But I never worried about the price of diapers or college and I could (and did) show my kid the world. But 60? No way. And then there’s DeNiro at 79….

    @Rich said in 28 Years Later: The opening scene to 28 weeks later was good enough I'll probably watch this. It's what I think of each time I hear about the franchise, too. Great scene. Nightmare fuel, too. Link to video

    @Friday said in I got an owie!: I don't have high cuffed leather welders gloves like Renauda. But I do have a suede jacket, gardening gloves, and a fencing mask. It's not sexy, but it works. The fencing mask seems prudent. I have welders gloves too. Protects arms and hands.

    I’ve made them once with limited success. Commercial gnocchi is awful. I wish you could taste my favorite ones in Southern Pines NC. Unearthly good. I fear it has closed.

    Also the denominator is much lower in administrative costs than for provider costs. This makes the graph misleading. Like when you see cumulative percentage growth of religions and Christianity and Islam are relatively flat while wiccanism increased 100x.

    @jon-nyc said in NHS Blocks Puberty Blockers: Overturned? The link says upheld. Maybe a lower court overturned it. Nitpick maybe. Certainly,.

    Those are fun. I subscribe to Robin Hanson's newsletter, and he gave free tickets to a zoom event he did with some podcaster. There were only about 30 people and there was a lot of audience participation. I didn't turn the camera on or participate, but it was neat to be there. Not that I'd ever leave the house for it, but it was neat to be there from the comfort of my office chair.

    There are a lot of nice prisons out there. Bet they find a really nice one for him.
