I think dexterity is an issue. I taught the concept with a 1/2 rope around my leg. He then did the same.

re: The War on Mosquitos. Best way to keep them at bay?

Build a bat house. No kidding, they eat their weight in mosquitoes every night.

Generally speaking, I think blaming entertainment media for anything is overblown. However, I think we had a perfect storm of Great Society into the War on Drugs that utterly destroyed the family units of a significant percentage of black households while perpetuating generational poverty, causing a generation of young black men to be raised without fathers and in neighborhoods in which the most realistic way to escape poverty was either to be an athlete or a drug dealer. What should have been entertainment became more than that.
How about we just blame the folks that did it. You think they didn't know it was wrong to shoot guns at each other in the midst of a public location?
I'm sure they knew it was a crime, and they did it anyway. That is a crime. Period. They committed a crime, they knew it was a crime, you knew it was a crime and I knew it was a crime. It doesn't have to be a giant socioeconomic discussion about psychological drivers, government policy and local market forces.
Not sure but Bob Dylan very explicitly said he made that deal.
He said he made a deal with the “chief commander of this earth”.
Take it for what you will.

If you’ve never messed with this stuff the capability is astounding. A few years ago I drew out the architecture of something that could be done much simpler and better than its current incarnation.
In about 4 hours time, I had it largely built out. It’s about 6k lines of code, several databases, user profile types, a website and mobile application.
It even built out the testing program and ran it for me. It’s amazing. And yes, it’s simple enough anyone can use it. It just removes the hurdle for entry. Anyone with a good idea and a little skill can build out something amazing.

re: As a man, do you cry?

I’ve not cried in like 35 years. The last time I cried, at least all of Baton Rouge got to see it. Not even kidding. My wife who I hadn’t met 800 miles away got to see it.
Not my best moment.

Due to some unique circumstances, I may have to retire sooner than I was planning. When I retire, I should be in a position where I don't actually have to work.
I'm still going to be relatively young and currently, I'm constantly doing something industrious. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with myself.

There is a Barack Obama plaza gas station in Ireland. I was there a few weeks ago.
My wife has ALS and I'm someone that won't quit ever. This thread has me thinking about a path forward.
I really dont like the answer the medical community has to my wife's condition.

In Bush around Money Hill. Got bad for a second then slowed down, I hope it’s passed.
re: Gov. Jeff Landry calls for Louisiana to get rid of inspection stickers
Posted by eitek1 on 3/9/26 at 10:16 pm to Major Dutch Schaefer
quote:
Instead of vehicles needing an inspection sticker, Landry said they will instead get a QR code costing $6 “that will be capable of providing instant information to law enforcement about the ownership, year, make, model and eventually, we hope, insurance coverage information.”
Why on earth would we or should we pay 6 dollars to put a ridiculous QR code on our car that provides something the license plate already provides 100% of. Each license plate has a specific number registered to a specific, make, model and even VIN of each car AND that record is updated with up to date insurance information.
That is even dumber than the inspection sticker.

Another agency did tell Ard things weren't Kosher. As far as not writing it down, that was people that wanted to make allegations against Denny but wouldn't put anything in writing.
And this is why Ard should have resigned or been asked to leave. I’m pretty sure folks aren’t required to write their own police report when giving information to the police. Even if the reporting agency didn’t want to put anything in writing, Ard should have. He’s the sheriff and should lead by example. Anything less, is “nonfeasance in office”.
How many kids were harmed due to the failure to act from the sheriff?

I don't think Ard knew, he went to bat for an old friend/classmate and likely knew Denny was a bit of a perv but not that he was that depraved.
I'm pretty sure he was told by someone in law enforcement from Baton Rouge. I think the guy told him based on interaction he'd witnessed.
Ard failed to "write it down" and generate an official record if I recall properly.

The engineers being turned out of U.S. schools on the whole are way lower quality than previous generations.
We went outside our normal suppliers / industry to have something designed. The folks we went to have a rock solid product used in extremely critical applications and boast unparalleled reliability and longevity for their products.
They would have to redesign their standard product to suit our needs but nothing insane. After the meeting, one of my colleagues said to me “there is no way these folks are going to be able to do this”. I said “come on man, they sell these things already.” He said “eitek1, the folks that engineered what they are selling today, retired a long time ago. The folks that were in that room, aren’t going to be able to do it.”
He was right, they were not successful.
re: Tucker Carlson plays disturbing video of Israel Rabbi wishing to False flag Iran
Posted by eitek1 on 3/5/26 at 8:41 am to cajunangelle
My wife and I were talking about “what would it take for something like this to get completely out of hand”.
I told her “something completely unexpected like Iran hitting the Dome of the Rock with a missle and destroying it”. It’s pretty crazy to hear someone else say it.
I wouldn’t be surprised if I ran doesn’t do it on purpose to kill the coalition against them. Israel wouldn’t pass up the opportunity to try and rebuild the temple because they would know the chance might not happen again for 1000 years. Chaos would completely overtake the Middle East at that point.

I am fully expecting not to get to experience retirement, at least not in the traditional sense of never working again.
The enemy of the future I hear often is “I deserve”. As in, “I deserve a new IPhone, car, etc.”
You can retire but it takes decades of forgoing the thing you want NOW for the thing you want (retirement).
I’d really like and can afford a new corvette. I drive a used economy car. I don’t have a “flagship” cell phone, I carry a 200 dollar one, etc.
All that money gets invested. Over a long enough timeline, you can retire, just like the OP.
Good Morning from Dublin!

This adds another layer to it. Whenever the time comes, I hope you are able to give your wife peace and remember that she is the same person she has aways been, despite needing more and more assistance (which I am sure you will),
I know this is going to be the greatest source of her frustration and I'm doing my best to be aware of it. Communication is a big thing. I've already AI generated her voice and she has an app that basically allows her to speak in her own voice.
I'm going to try and take it one step further. I'm going to build an "AI Agent" that is trained off my wife's text messages to generate possible responses for her to choose from based on previous interaction to speed communication.
If I can master this, I'm going to give it away to anyone that can scale the concept so the largest amount of folks can use it. It's a work in progress though.
My wife of 33 years and truly the most wonderful person I have ever met was diagnosed with ALS in January.
We are currently on vacation and will keep going on vacation long as she is able. She loves to travel and that’s what we are going to do. I hate that I get to watch this happen to the woman I love, but I’m glad I can have the privilege of taking care of her through all of this.
