Just an update on this. House is sold and gone. We made a pretty good profit off of it, but she couldn't resist screwing me over one last time. For context, we decided to keep our joint accounts until the house closed. We only have one credit card, and it's from our bank. She's always been the...

You know what I cannot stand? That stupid Steve Carrel "Thank you" gif. Really, no, more than that. Any response in the vein of, "I thought of that, too!". Who gives a shit? Really, what is the point of this kind of post? To show you're at least as clever as the person you're replying to? So...

House sold. Can't say I had quite as good an experience as Tinwhistler, but it did sell. Took a month and a price drop, all because we are on a busy road. But the moment we dropped the price, we were flooded with calls. I guess people were looking for sub-700k, despite the fact that houses in...

I guess pending divorce aside, I did lose almost 25 lbs over the last year and get back into running. On the other hand, I have developed metatarsalgia and I really need to see a dr about it. I don't want to stop running, but it is getting pretty bad and not going away. Also, just before the...

Well, it has been an interesting 2 months since she gave me divorce papers. I went through some really deep, deep sadness like I hadn't felt in ages. Like that kind that makes you feel like you cannot even breathe in. I can't say it's really much better. I haven't had much time to process...

Being a fellow South Carolinian, what about Charleston if you want to stay in SC? It's pretty liberal--our little blue island in the big red sea.

Not ours. We just had to lower today. In a hot market. In a neighborhood where houses sell even in down times often before they go on the market. Why? Because we have the house at the entrance to the subdivision, next to 4 lane road. It's a residential road, but still 4 lanes. It's been on a...

Doom Patrol 10 out of 10. Two thumbs up. Hands down one of the best shows I've seen in forever. Deliciously weird. Strongly character driven. The best live action thing DC has ever produced. Go watch it.

Why are they adults? That alone seems weird.

I’m not sure where else to put this, but Riker Googling has to be one of the funniest things I’ve read in a while https://twitter.com/RikerGoogling?s=09

That's kind of similar to what a tidal wave actually looks like, and why it's called a "tidal" wave. Thanks to movies (and the wave part of the name), most people think a tidal wave looks like a giant breaker wave. But it's more like rising tide or flood water. It just bulldozes everything in...

My son is the one who sent me that video. He has become a pretty good electronic musician. He is 17 now, but has been practicing for several years. He knows more about signal processing now than some of my grad students did. He doesn't "just" loop samples. He designs the sounds, which can be...

FYI Amen, Brother by The Winstons--specifically that section of beats--is the all-time most sampled song.

Another thing...divorce and post-divorce support online seems to be heavily biased toward women, and women of a certain personality. It's hard to find much help for dudes. I mean, sure, some of it is unisex, but a lot of it is very much geared toward the Sex and the City crowd.

That is definitely my mindset right now. I get your point, but pragmatically speaking, it's a good time to get rid of stuff I rarely use. Like the drill press for example. It's heavy and huge, and while I use it, I only need it for really precise drilling like my Halloween props. Usually I can...

Well, she waived the rights, but the understanding is that we will split everything up on our own amicably. I don't really want to stay here single anyway.

Also, now I have to find an apartment. Which means I have to sell everything in my garage, including the sailing kayak I saved for a literal decade to afford (those fuckers are 10 grand new and they don't really depreciate much. I saved forever for a used one, and just got it last year). My...

I could move literally anywhere, I guess. My job went permanent WFH during the pandemic. But I guess I'm still limited to the city I live in so that I can keep in regular contact with my kids. I think i've moved past the initial "cry constantly" phase to an angry phase. I mean, not yell out...
