  • Hey thank you for posting that. I know it's not what you wanted but I am looking for safe resources and this is what I need

    (I'm trying to heal from some trauma and ngl seeing it at first was a bit triggering but I feel better after reading that description. So thank you sincerely)

  • Electronic calculators have their own magic but with slide rules you conjure it yourself and it's beautiful. I like seeing the how behind the why

    Next time I visit I'll ask to be shown again. I miss the long, boring explanations about how every single part of a keyboard works and how they all mechanically and electronically mesh to put our finger taps into words on a screen

    I'm sorry for waxing nostalgia, it just kinda dawned on me I haven't let him know I appreciated being taught those things because nowadays we just expect things to work and don't question the "magic"

  • Hey that's really awesome! My dad showed me how to use one a long time ago. Those things are pure magic

  • I had that feeling growing up but not the words to put it in. That world war three won't look like two and we're probably in it right now (this was many years ago when different turmoil was happening.)

    The other reply posted a link that I'd like to read because it looks fascinating which discusses the generations of warfare. I got through the abstract but it's early rn so I'm not trying to get through the whole thing. It confirms what I felt all these years

  • Gamers Nexus's 3-hour GPU smuggling documentary is finally back up after being fraudulently DMCA'd by Bloomberg. Go give them a watch to try to make up for the lost traction!

  • I don't play dnd but I love cards and dice. I haven't checked out their merch but I'd love to support them. I'll check out the dice!

  • I've got a road trip planned. It'll be about 2800 mi, 4500 km. I think I'm prepared but sure I'm overlooking things. I'd love to hear your tips and recommendations; your holy grails!

  • Yes I did get a lot of good advice! I'm still working through it all really because some things were things I wouldn't have thought of myself. I do appreciate the time people took for helpful comments

    We've got plenty of stops to make and all of them are going to be new to the other parties. The kiddo likes the screens but is also equally satisfied staring out the window. I know they'll both have their minds blown at the sights we'll be experiencing

    And +1 in wholesome snacks and hydrating beverages

  • Oh yeah thank you! I love pillows and I didn't think of bringing some extra for traveling

    That makes me think of riding in my grandparents car that had beaded car seat covers. They said it helped circulation when sitting for long periods

  • Those rest breaks absolutely add up no matter how quick you try to make them. Fortunately our major stops are in places large enough to have a store to top up snacks and water. There's two adults so we're swapping driving duties to lessen the load

    Lol I have had a horrible experience with caffeine pills so I've sworn those off. I'll stop and stretch to reinvigorate myself. I learned myself a lesson after consuming too many nodoz and having a self inflicted panic attack

    Lastly that site is really cool, thank you for the suggestion! We've got a lot of major stops planned but also some leeway for those impromptu side-of-the-road stops

  • Oooh yes!!

    I've been wary of that since I was a kid. I don't remember the title but I read a book where there was a kid helping his family in the fields and got extremely hot and tired. Someone brought out some cold water and before anyone could stop the boy he drank deeply and passed out. Reading that has stuck around for a few decades lol

    But thank you! We'll bring beverages that are hydrating. The trip will take us through a variety of environments. The drier climates are some of the most beautiful but daunting journeys

  • Yeah we'll bring some physical books but I've got a kobo I use regularly and the kiddo has a kindle. But yes physical books have a unique presence about them and I can definitely tie memories to physical books, like where I was reading a certain scene. Not so much with an ereader

    Yeah I can change a tire but thinking about it all I have is a donut. I've been wanting to get a true spare tire; now might be the time to invest in that

  • Yes thank you for the liquids tip. Definitely will bring a lot, and then a lot more. AAA is great if you have signal but fuck getting stranded without water. We don't really do soda anyways so we'll be avoiding sugary drinks and sticking with actual hydration

  • I get the sentiment. It's to keep the kiddo busy, but we're all avid gamers and being forced to take a trip we don't really want to. So I'm trying to keep it palatable for everyone

    We're going to have a few very long days not including any extra stops we make and a lot of the landscape is frankly boring

    Yeah, probably going over the top and as we actually start packing we'll realize how ridiculous it is and pare it back. I'm a chronic over packer because I make sure every scenario is covered and then not end up needing half

  • Yeah AAA is fantastic. It absolutely has paid for itself many times over. I just re-enrolled for the trip but I'll keep it after as well. I've just been putting it off for a long time. And don't forget the discounts that come with the membership!

  • Yes!! I just got enrolled again. I should have it for everyday as well but I've been putting it off. Plus discounts!

  • Yes I just did this last week. Amusingly I had something that I asked "hypothetically, if I'm driving to state in the near future, would you recommend I take care of that now?"

    Yes, I got my serpentine belt replaced and an oil change. My brakes are still in good shape. But they also did check everything out and I have another appointment next week to make sure the transmission is ok and get the AC looked at (diagnosticians were booked out until then)

  • Good tip on the oil! Thank you, I'm adding it to my list! Probably some extra washer fluid; I know some stretches of that drive are very buggy

  • Since tech seems to be what people are focusing on and not actual advice, the point of the trip is to bury my grandfather. I am fearful to fly in the US currently. We have to make this trip so we're making it as enjoyable as possible. I didn't feel like including that in the post because I didn't feel it was actually relevant

    And I know I already replied to you , but I wanted it to really sink in

  • Thank you. Yes, the point is to go bury my grandfather. I didn't want to include that but fuck me for trying to get advice for a long trip. I did not think I'd be torn apart for "not being one with nature" for 50 hours

    But sincerely, thank you for actually thinking for yourself ♥️

    Edit: ok, torn apart is a bit of a stretch but I wish that wasn't what people focused on
