Cashiering once; I like to play with my rubiks cubes and had a 3x3 and 5x5 with me.

Well a very disheveled couple with 3 kids came through, and as I started scanning their items I decided to give one of the kids the 5x5.

For a brief moment I checked them out, and distracted their kids. As they were paying and I was talking with the kids one of them said I was “Really cool”.

But the silent “thank you” mouthed from the Mom as they walked away is why they stuck in my mind. Something about coraling the kiddos, while working my regular job, then being thanked for it felt pretty good.

Ever see one of them get angry?

I’ve seen angry people my whole life.

But when a calm person gets mad. I notice.

Whoops, accidental typo due to swype in case you’re curious. And it seems that it’s very important to you to know why.

From what I hear this is one of America’s most sacred places. Hope the sentinel is promoted.

Edit: Typo.

If it helps you at all, I believe in learning on the job.

I didn’t know much about money or finance so I got a job as a teller, moved up until I felt I knew what I was doing.

In a similar vein as you, I knew nothing of tools and working with your hands, so I became a mechanic, then a maintenance worker.

And now I’m looking for an IT job. I never went to college but since highschool I’ve never stopped learning. And BTW I sucked at both fields when I started, but 2 years in you’ll figure it out. 5 years in you might be ready for your dream career, or moving on like me.

To answer the question though I’d love to go to Mars! I think I’d be the kind of person who’d be good at being among the first. But I don’t think I’d be able to permanently say goodbye to the creature comforts of Earth. Especially pets.

Not anymore but once I visited family in Alaska. And it feels weird to say I got tired of fresh caught king salmon!

I once sent a girl a selfie, she then blocked me.

The funny part of the story is when I told my boss, he laughed way too seriously… so much so that I started to find it funny.

Before we go any further, how tight does your husband wear his watch? To a lot of people it’s really particular. If we’re guessing use a string and try to match his current habits, if not have a slightly taught string around his wrist and measure.

Or borrow his current watch.

Politics. Or rather having to hear about it. 2016-2020 and 2024 - current, has so much negativity and I just miss not having to hear about it literally every day.

Gaming, specifically pokemon trading. Sometime after it was WOW.

I think I was about 10 before wifi started to become a thing, and we didn’t get internet till after that.

When the mammoth was revived, society rejoiced. When the dinosaurs came back, people celebrated. When we added wings to those new “dragons”, the public was divided.

But no one could argue against the new breed of dogs.

I’d hate it as much as MAGA hates Obamacare. But it’d be stupid not to use it.

I almost canceled an appointment for a possible torn muscle cause the inspection is gonna cost at least 500$.

Luckily I have healthcare through my tribe which I didn’t know about.

John 8:7 “Let he is without sin cast the first stone.”

Not exactly related, just thought of a funny verse.

I always called them the village idiot.

Driving by one “There goes the village idiot.”, walks by one parked, “Village idiot must be out shopping.”

Just like Ender’s Game. “How we win matters”.

Not that I care either way tbh. And I agree it does sound a bit childish to put it that way but I feel you’re missing the point of what they said.

Voting out high prices and voting out pedophiles / “nazis” are not the same thing.

I voted for the first time ever because of this btw.

I remember a thought from CGP Grey that went along the lines of…

At some point cybernetics will be like smart phones; people look at you weird if you don’t have one.

Okay; lot’s of memey answers here.

But I saw a video from “Technology Connections” and as I understand it most popcorn buttons are just timers.

However some microwaves have weight sensors and hydrometers. Most microwave buttons suck but some are actually good.

Another thing to watch out for a new microwave is whether or not low power mode means 20% power or 100% power 20% of the time.
