It's true. I teach college kids, and a couple of years ago my class was taking a midterm. The room didn't have a clock so I put my watch on the document camera display so they'd know how much time was left. A girl in the front row asked me what time it was, because she couldn't tell time. After she turned in her test, thinking she must be kind of embarrassed about this, I told her I'd be happy to teach her how to tell time. She gave me a look like "ok, boomer" and said no thanks.

Facebook, 2004. Gmail, 2005. Still use both of those accounts.

Fellow teacher here! During my first 5 years or so teaching, I was so sensitive to negative feedback. Comments were overwhelmingly positive but I'd really wince at negative comments. I've grown a thicker skin since then, and more importantly I've come to believe in myself and I know I'm good at what I do. So, experience and confidence.

And an honorable mention goes to the Corn Palace.

Thanks for posting this; it brings back lots of happy memories for me. I camped there many times as a kid back in the 90s, and the whole family loved watching the movie. Such a cool place to visit. I love Wyoming!

I sat here and thought about it, and I truly think I'd go to the dollar store, buy a few cheap water guns, and have a water fight with my sisters and their kids. Remember how fun water fights are??? Even those cheap little water guns; doesn't have to be fancy. Leftover money would go to popsicles.

Honestly, spend time with my family and pets. Enjoy nature. Have a big party with my favorite people where I tell them how they've made my life so wonderful.

That was fascinating to read!

  • WTF - Marc Maron's podcast with really great long-form interviews of comedians, actors, and other public figures.
  • Radiolab - about science, nature, and the human experience. Interesting and educational.
  • Don't Ask Tig - comedian Tig Notaro and a guest answer listener questions asking for advice. Usually funny and heartwarming.

Or, the window of habitability on Mars was much shorter than on Earth, and there just wasn't time for complex, multicellular life to evolve. On Earth, life existed for billions of years before multicellular critters popped up. I think one day, a rover is going to turn over the right rock and we'll see a little smudge of fossilized algal mat. But I am an optimist.

Same here! I think I had over 400 hours on botw. Now onto totk, and loving every minute. After reading this thread I just told my husband he should be thankful I'm not into WoW.
