Still a few minutes out. 5 year old Grandson_3 is enjoying it. 3 year old Grandson_4 isn't into it much. https://nu.federati.net/attachment/293734 -

Based on the lavender festival that sonTwo and my niece LG used to attend with my mom, I expected big fields of flowers and a small vendor area. It turned out to be the opposite, but we still had a good time. -

In the real world, outside a given classroom that teaches one way, professional mathematicians do not even agree of whether the natural numbers include the number zero not.
Smart people who want to communicate ideas will say "non-negative integers" or "positive integers" to be clear, rather than going on the barricades for the supremacy of a given interpretation. And professional mathematicians just do not write
x/yz
in their paper. Except when they do. -

He jumped straight to asking me if Twitter does the same thing. -

It felt like growing up with four parents!
Age difference between sis and me is the same as the age difference between her eldest and uncle Claes. π
So my siblings are solid X-ers and I'm a xennial.

Just a standard packaged ice cream cone from the convenience store freezer.
Ice cream cones are *so good*. It's magic. I will enjoy the aftertaste for hours.

lnxw48a1 (lnxw48a1@nu.federati.net)'s status on Tuesday, 12-Mar-2024 21:15:37 EDT lnxw48a1 I got a very concerned phone call from N, a former co-worker. He tried to persuade me to stay with $EMPLOYER until I get a replacement job. I promised to consider his advice (after all, it is what I have always advised people to do), but I do not think I will change my mind.
He talked about the group that he hired on with, and how half of them left and are now trying to return because they had nothing to keep them active. But I have no illusions about enjoying sitting in a rocking chair or going fishing every day. I already know that even if my financial needs were taken care of, I would still need to be productive. -
lnxw48a1 (lnxw48a1@nu.federati.net)'s status on Monday, 11-Mar-2024 20:47:50 EDT lnxw48a1 I'd like to kick those in favor of shifting the time twice a year right in the crotch. We can leave our time right where it is.
My grandson (2, but will be 3 soon) had a meltdown because "it can't be bedtime, it is still daylight". He's not wrong. Just a couple of nights ago, bedtime was after sunset. -

lnxw48a1 (lnxw48a1@nu.federati.net)'s status on Saturday, 09-Mar-2024 13:46:07 EST lnxw48a1 We took my 5 year old grandson #GS3 to a weather expo at the local mall. He got to meet one of the meteorologists from https://www.ky3.com/weather/ and to talk to an employee of NOAA / NWS, who had a little vortex machine for kids to see and touch. He also got to see another station's "storm tracker" vehicle.
Kudos to KY3's weatherman, who gave #GS3 and #GS4 his full attention and talked with them like they mattered. I am new in the Springfield area, but it is really cool to see.
