Recovering academic now in public safety. You’ll find me kibitzing on brains (my academic expertise) to critical infrastructure and resilience (current worklife). Also hockey, games, music just because.

I’m almost 60 and I have heard that from as long as I can remember. “Have a good one” though…I first heard that in the early 2000’s and it sounded stupid then. And it sounds stupid now.

The fact that Trump was older when elected is part of the joke.

That’s interesting. In North America this was largely litigated during the era of film photography and common law went in the other direction. You do not have control over being recorded or photographed in a situation where there is not have a reasonable expectation of privacy - at least for non-commercial purposes. Restaurants and walking around in public are classic examples of this.
I honestly wasn’t even aware of jurisdictions that had an opposite approach.

I’ve been friends with HR people at a number of jobs. They generally party hard. I’ve also always had the understanding that if they have to walk me we’d be professional about it. I’ve never been let go.

Boobs squish at crash forces. The pressure with crash testing is keep every variable consistent so that results can be compared over time. I read an article years ago about the trouble of maintaining a supply of “tea rose” colored underwear for that reason.

This all true, but wood still burned. You think forest fires are bad now? Imagine several centuries of dry timber stacked up waiting for a lightning strike.
- Comment on Do you still remember? 3 months ago:
Oldsmobile Delta 88. I learned to drive in the largest car the driving school had. The thinking was if I could maneuver that beast everything else should be easy. I guess it worked?

I lived like this the first year of my postdoc and couldn’t have been happier. I had 4 place settings but only used one and washed it after every meal. Desk, computer, one camp chair, and an inflatable mattress. Stayed that way until my wife joined me my second year and made me get a real apartment.

It’s heavy innuendo but yeah, they did the deed. Ilsa asks Rick to choose for her because loves them both. He sets it up like he is running away with her but then does the ol’switcheroo and sends her and Laszlo off while he holds the Nazis at gunpoint. He ends up shooting Nazis and Capt. Renault covers for him.
- Comment on Anon watches a romance movie 4 months ago:
Great romance requires a choice. It’s difficult to find a choice that matters, ideally it is something they already have, but are giving up. That’s why all the hallmark movies work because a big city girl is giving up her career to grow cucumbers or something. Making a choice to take a job somewhere else doesn’t work because it’s a future thing - giving up an opportunity is not the same as giving up a realized life situation. Infidelity really works because it’s a former dream, and it means giving up stability, status, comfort for the unknown.

I can appreciate that. But a 60 Minutes segment is about a four minute read.

I think I have finally found a generation gap that I think is real; old people like me would rather read than watch. A lot of my students would rather watch than read.
