I’ve had some hardships over the past year and life can be a complicated mess but everyone has their ups and downs.
I got a big promotion a year ago but the benefits haven’t outweighed the negatives so I’m at a crossroads. It has brought me financial stability in these hard times though which I’m thankful for but I know I’m going to have to make a decision one way or the other at some point.
My son has become fully invested in baseball this year and the journey still continues. He went from Little League to All Stars to now travel ball and will pitch in his first 9U kid pitch game tomorrow so that’s very exciting. I’m a nervous wreck but can’t wait to see him perform. We have lived at the baseball field since April, and it’s been an honor to watch him grow as a person and player. I don’t think we’ll know what to do with ourselves when the travel season ends next month but basketball is next up for him and he’s excited for that. Hopefully this year I can get him into watching some KU games with me as he was curious at times last season.
With work - similarly I got a promotion about a year ago. Then immediately we were (are) and industry current administration is going after. Caused a ton of stress. Went to therapy to help me understand why I was hating work so much. It very much helped keep things in perspective. Just a thought if you haven’t tried it first before leaving.
Congrats on the baseball! Good luck to him pitching! I miss playing baseball at that age more than any other competitive sports I played.
My 6 year old came home singing this, which he picked up at school. I guess theres a clapping game that goes with it. I enjoyed the regional variations in the reddit thread.

I wonder if you guys have encountered any similar spoken word things (or other things) that varied greatly by region?

Just saw this, but it’s a few days old.
For you Kansas folks, the girl plays for Nickerson High, and just committed to Iowa. Her father died in the accident. She’s on a ventilator. Sounds awful.

ya heard that on our local news here in Topeka. - -The kid or guy that hit them was they said driving under the influence of hydrocodone
@tis4tim All I did was give you some more information about the sources used by the site you presented. Did I argue? If you were “researching” your reaction should have been, “Thanks, I will look at that, too.”
“Looking at all sides” does not mean everything you look at has the same level of credibility. Not all opinions are based on facts, and the site you posted uses data completely out of context. Don’t get into a defensive snit just because someone wants you to consider “the other side” from what you posted.

I need to fix something with our ssl certs but what I tried didn’t do it.
Maybe try Tic Tacs instead of Certs?
If you need any other great coding advice you know where to find me.
@approxinfinity said in Well Guys this buckets guy glad to be alive tonight/blessed:

True just very glad to still be here

@Texas-Hawk-10
He claims this and that but his spiel on NATO is false.
That’s why I said that’s what Putin claims NATO told Gorbachev. It doesn’t change that Putin is pissed about former Soviet nations joining NATO and wants NATO to return to its pre-1997 membership because Putin wants to reform the Soviet Union.
