This is the answer. They can play in other countries, but that is what they'd need to be prepared to do.
re: Do you think about where the keys are when you type?

Gen X - I don't. Daughter is 23 and I doubt she does because she types as fast as I've seen anyone type. But she should since she's had a laptop since she was 5 and has been taking school notes on a laptop since she was in middle school.

re: What is the cheapest child sport
Posted by Slip Screen on 6/23/26 at 2:59 pm to The Dunder Mifflin
Wouldn't it be football since there is no "travel ball" - at least to my knowledge. Almost every other sport has enormous expenses outside of actually playing the sport itself. My daughter played basketball and gymnastics. Both were very expensive with all the travel to tournaments and meets across states.
re: Would $60 last you a week eating out?
Posted by Slip Screen on 6/22/26 at 11:37 am to lsu xman
If I ate one meal a day and it was a 6 inch sub. Even a salad is $20. I likely spend 500-700 a week eating out. 5 week day lunches. Friday and Saturday dinner. Sunday lunch. But I am usually paying for wife, mother, and MIL in 2 of those last 3. Almost never any place fancy. Mexican if everyone has 2 margs is 150.

IMO, best food for that type of place. Generally good bar food.
re: House generator
Posted by Slip Screen on 6/4/26 at 10:12 am to Chrome
We have a 3100 sq ft house and have a 24kW generac. The size obviously depends on what you need/want to run. If I recall, I went one larger than they said I could get away with.
Runs everything with ease when it's needed. Had it for 4 years. Probably kicks in 3-5 times per year between storm power loss and power company errors that inadvertently cut power. We ran it for almost an entire week only once post storm and had no issues.

re: Stand-by Generator for home. Worth it?
Posted by Slip Screen on 5/29/26 at 11:20 am to hassan whiteside
I cannot imagine having a house without one. I didn't have one for years and spent many really cold nights and really hot days for extended period without power. Now that is a thing of the past and it's glorious.

This will be such a cluster for traffic. The Hardy will be full of cars and no longer worth the toll. 290 and to a lesser extent I-10 will also get traffic spillage from people traveling from the northwest into the city. I cannot even imagine how bad it will be. Although I can work remotely most days, I choose not to. I will need to seriously rethink that if this goes forward.

re: Anybody ever buy a new car and have it shipped?
Posted by Slip Screen on 3/5/26 at 4:57 pm to doublecutter
I bought a car that was in transit from the manufacturer to the dealership near me. I put down $500 I think to reserve it. I cannot recall for sure but I think I lost the $500 if I chose not to buy it, but I do know for sure I didn't lose any more than that, e.g., I was not obligated to buy it.
I also tried buying a used SUV from CARMAX as a second vehicle and found one in AZ I liked (I'm in TX). But in that case I was required to buy it even it I did not like it when it arrived at my house so it was a no go.

re: What Were You Doing On A Friday Night In High School?

At a party in the woods, at the beach, or at someone's house. Most likely a keg or two involved.

re: Why do people waste money on watches?
Posted by Slip Screen on 12/31/25 at 10:47 am to WaydownSouth
I have worn a watch since pre-cell phones so I use my watch to tell him in almost all circumstances. A very old habit I guess. I like the look of watches and have 5 (2 casual, 3 "dress"). I will keep buying them for sure. You like what you like.
