I wouldn’t mind that. I’m already finding it difficult to find a common topic to talk about with the twentysomethings.
- Comment on my current daddy fling born in the 1970s 1 day ago:
I hear you. A few wrinkles around my eyes and daily cardio, and I haven’t gotten so much young mom attention since I was taking my kids to the playground. 10 more years, and I may do the same with potential grandkids. That will be a deadly combo.

Oh give it a break. He was just caught trying to flick a booger he picked from his nose. I have the same embarrassed look in my face when someone sees me trying to do the same.

Some women are like Faraday cages.

Silly person. Everybody knows that most of the nutrients and vitamins the croissant provides are in its peel.
- Comment on Fucking knee. 1 week ago:
I just cracked my knee. Because I’ve been sitting without moving my legs for too long. Also, because it’s wet and misty outside.

Nowayays, having a telephone line us like hanging up the phone. Only us really old farts still remember what it means.

- Comment on Women in dating apps 1 week ago:
I have my Teams status at work permanently set to nohello.net/en/. It’s not the women who ignore it; it’s a certain culture, which includes almost all of our customer support staff. They send me a “hi” and then they are happy to wait for the entire day for an answer they never get.
- Comment on Paper Towels - Cube Or Sphere? 1 week ago:
“Farther”. May have been a simple typo.
And as a father, I can confidentry say that a paper airplane that’s tightly scrunched into a ball flies the farthest in our household.
- Comment on There was a time when people had to deal with all of these being separate 1 week ago:
That’s me, today. Different brands and models, but pretty much the same items. If I have the space (inner coat pockets, for example), I also add a small notepad and pencil, and a calculator. I ain’t gonna pay for a HP-12C calculator app, when I have the fully functional hardware.
- Comment on Kitchen 3 weeks ago:
We have a beautiful living room that seats a dozen people. Nobody ever goes there. The entire family and guests prefer to squeeze around the 6-person kitchen table or lean against the kitchen counter. And we like it that way.

Reminder that the name of the music group Counting Crows can be interpreted as “Murder by Numbers”.

I read it in Jason Statham’s voice.
- Comment on When people recommend Brave browser. 2 months ago:
Now you gave me an inspiration. I’m eorking with a few other parents to create a local, walled “Internet” for the kids in our estate, and webrings would be a fun feature to resurrect.
- Comment on When people recommend Brave browser. 2 months ago:
I feel like I’m getting too old for the Internet. I still fondly remember the times where you could create a Geocities page and add it yourself to the Yahoo directory, and other netizens clicked through categories to get to your listing, instead of using a search engine.
But I digress. I’m finding myself browsing the www less over time, and I’m already limited to only a hadful of pages I visit regularly. For me personally, Vivaldi is the best choice for a desktop, and Brave is hands-down the best choice for my smartphone. But I appreciate that others may have different use cases.
- Comment on Like when your headphone cords get caught on a door knob. 3 months ago:
I wonder how many kids still know what headphone cords are.
- Comment on What brings you peace in your life? 3 months ago:
Hiking. Alone. No technology along, just my walking stick and backpack. Bonus points when it’s foggy and I feel like the only person on the trail.
- Comment on Interesting question. For me it would be a dead grandfather 3 months ago:
Keanu Reeves. Just the two of us, each on one end of the bench, enjoying a sandwich, and not talking but still content with each other’s company.
- Comment on The meaning of life? 3 months ago:
Free? That’s when your kids send your grandkids for you to take care of. Ungrateful bastards…
- Comment on Not gonna lie, I kind like it 3 months ago:
As one legend to another: Before the Ancestors, there were Legends. That’s what the 70’s kids are.
- Comment on Been putting a lot of thought into this 3 months ago:
Don’t know a day-to-day equivalent, but in winter, taking of your ski shoes after a day of skiing is straight up orgasmic.

Bastard…
- Comment on 64$ the ticket, 1040$ surcharge. 5 months ago:
I recently did a return trip from Dublin to Boston and back. Each ticket was 1 Euro; rhe rest was airport taxes, government levies, etc.
In the past, pre-covid, 1 Euro tickets were not unusual. Part of the reason why Ryanair became so dominant was that they contracted with secondary airports that had much lower fees, so the final price was below what the competitors could offer.
- Comment on THIS is a real test of how old you are. If you score 20 your future is short 5 months ago:
Dude. I still use 8 of them. And you’ll only take those eight from my cold, dead fingers. Which, apparently, won’t be long…
- Comment on If you are a guy living with a woman you know THIS 5 months ago:
We have separate bathrooms, but I still have PTSD from the time I changed the skirting boards in hers.
