    Digging a hole with my 10-yo son was the only work he didn’t bitch about last summer.

    Used to hate digging, but now I’m in NW Florida where there’s 2" of topsoil, sandy clay all the way to China. Only thing stopping a man is how fast he can sling it out of the hole.

      If anyone reading is actually fantasizing about this, I would suggest merely trying to go a week on half the usual amount of food and sleep, and no lotion or lip balm. See how tough you feel then.

    …Keep looking. I don’t see “analyze the phase delay of all my 16 pole-mixing LTI filter variations and use regression fitting to compute frequency compensation coefficients for accurate pitch waveguide audio synthesis” on the list yet.

      One of the reasons dude love wizards is that they all carry really really cool sticks.

      It’s also why women tend to like Harry Potter more than men. No one has really cool sticks. They just have tiny little wands.

      Oh hell no. I toured an authentic recreation of La Niña. It’s so small as to be terrifying. People had to sleep on the deck so the more valuable animals got the hold. Don’t have the cojones to get out of site of land on that toy boat.

      NOTE: Doesn’t look as small in those pics as it feels IRL.

        There’s a replica of a ship called Duyfken that the Dutch used to sail from Dutchland to Western Australia (a very long way, journey takes like a year) and it’s tiny. I’d throw myself overboard within a week.

    Am I weird if mine are different?

    • Getting a transgender autistic puppygirl as a GF.
    • Defeating fascism (may include the “desperate last odds” part).
    • Writing code in a relatively obscure language its creators hoped could replace C and C++.

          Replace warhammer with something you’ve built or fixed yourself and you’ve covered all your bases. This is inclusive of model trains, gundams, cabinetry, doomsday devices, stained glass windows, chairs, a car, etc

      Cis male FWIW (think of myself as an ally to all), nothing here appeals in any way, unless I’m digging a hobbit hole, and I’d rather a treehouse, and even more a solar boat…
