If you like basic racing games, mad skills mx 3 is pretty fun once you get the hang of it. Straight rhythm tracks, find the fastest line and set the fastest time to compete with everyone.

Looks cool! Reminds me of doing something similar a couple years ago with a strawberry cake. Mine was a pretty amateur attempt so it’s a bit sloppy, but goddamn it was delicious… The batter had macerated - then reduced fresh strawberries go into it, very strawberry forward flavor throughout

Motocross.

Love watching the pros and talking all about it. Recently got a coworker into it and it’s been fun explaining all the ins and outs of the sport and, as a past rider, trying to relate track conditions/difficulties to him

I’ve also yet to come across censorship favoring fascists here.

This sounds like it could’ve been a headline you see watching Black Mirror 6 years ago.

Looks like everyone already diagnosed for you, so I’ll recommend another solution. Cal-mag is a decent product that will help correct this.

I feel like he played his role in Gladiator too well, and I didn’t like him for a while after that because he was such a good bad guy… But I’ve come around and really appreciate what he’s put out since, he’s a great actor.

Robert Duvall. Don’t know what it is about him, but I have a real distaste for any role he’s played.

In the US, they’ll likely get “51-50’d”. Sent to a medical facility for a max observation hold of 72 hours or less if a doctor clears them to leave.

I think it’s more about who you are sharing it with rather than that you are sharing it.

If I were single, I wouldn’t be calling up a friend or relative to tell them about my day, but it’s nice to share with the wife when the day was particularly difficult/good/fun/etc

Ha, the hammock stand is disassembled at the moment, usually goes out on the lawn. I wouldn’t dare hang my camping hammock up under these trees during spider season

Too many spiders this time of year for hanging in that corner, haha, they love it in there these later summer months. Otherwise it is a great hammock spot!

Oh yeah I couldn’t imagine keeping this yard up while also having kids, lol, my wife and I both spend plenty of time maintaining it most weekends, the weeds are relentless and I refuse to use roundup. The dog loves it! She gets to explore all the smells from the resident critters and still has a good stretch of grass to run

Honestly, what you see in the Pic is all the previous seasons leaves. Mostly magnolia and Persian ironwood. It’s our first full year here so I’m seeing what works, I think a more natural approach is fine with mature trees like these

It’s definitely it’s own little ecosystem! Always lots of different bees, lately lots of dragonflies, a couple resident hummingbirds. The bees are currently loving the hydrangeas, looks like a constant swarm around it

Here’s said hydrangea, been fading from pink to white as the season goes on.

Funny you say that, there’s a bench directly behind where I took this photo in the corner of the yard. There’s a bare trellis there that it backs up to but it’s very shaded so I’m still deciding what to put there… Thinking evergreen clematis or something.

Everyone tells younger men the same thing it seems. I heard the same bullshit from the time I started talking about it (vasectomy) as a teen. 35 now and nothing has changed, living the dink life with my wife and it’s great. Boomer parents aren’t too thrilled with the idea of 0 grandkids between their two sons, but that’s not my job… Might have felt a little sorry for them if they didn’t vote the way they do… But it’s those choices that have led us to an environment that makes it too difficult to even consider bringing kids into, and it seems it’s only getting worse.

I share the sentiment and have always felt the same way since I started thinking about it (even as a kid myself). The idea of having kids never appealed to me, I don’t like being around them, never have, still don’t at 35. I have a handful of nephews/nieces from in-laws now and still don’t enjoy hanging around them even for short bursts of time… I don’t have the patience for the screaming, crying, breaking shit, tantrums, messes, etc.

It’s a 24/7 job for at least the next 20 years if you go through with it. Also, it’s expensive as fuck. I enjoy expendable income and free time.

Doesn’t really change the fact that it’s more about whose child it is getting killed. They don’t care til it happens to them, the fucking GOP in a nutshell… Even then, significant change for the better is a crapshoot at best.

Pretty wonderful. My wife and I went a couple years ago early in the season so we didn’t get to see quite as spectacular of a setting, still really cool though.
