title: lnxw48a1: #sonTwo will be at work on 2024-04-08. Hopefully, his wife will take a day off. I would like to take grandkids to see the total solar eclipse (passing through SE #MO) ... the next time it happens in the lower 48 US states will be something like 20 years later. In particular, I think #GS3 will enjoy it. #GS4 seems to be more interested in ocean life (penguins, dolphins, orcas, seals, etc) than space.

I'm not expecting to see #GS2, as he lives some distance (2-3 hours drive time in each direction), on top of him being 25. I expressed that it would be great if #Daddy_A could visit during this time.

He did tell me that the doctor believes that all three boys and their mom caught #RSV and that the pneumonia that #GS4 and #GS5 got is a residual from that. Unfortunately, the doctor didn’t do any tests because he said the primary cause was over and done with.

title: lnxw48a1: I also recall that when #sonTwo was in high school, he found an article in which #SoCal theme parks (including #Disneyland, which was mentioned as being known for its low pay) were building apartment buildings for their employees to live in because their pay was insufficient to pay then-current rental rates. I'm not saying this to disparage #Disney. I get it. Theme parks are a service business and the easiest way to make them profitable is to constrain labor costs. But you know, pay down your debt, so you can use some of your current interest payments to pay your employees a decent wage.

Second son currently calls me about 4X/week, plus does a regular weekly #videochat between me and his family. The older and younger boys are a lot less communicative. But honestly, I bought both sons' cards the same day, after I got unemployment benefits. The other child's birthday is earlier, when I had no funds.

title: lnxw48a1: I've recently seen some discussion of Millennials. As a Baby Boomer, I can say that tagging two decades worth of people with a label and somehow expecting that label to accurately describe the entire group's views, beliefs, motivations, and actions ... that's a mistake at best. People are individuals. Maybe more people in certain ages hold one view versus another, but it is unlikely that *all* of them do so. Yes, the things that happen in the world around people affect them. So for example "9/11" happened while #sonTwo and #Daddy_A were in middle school. 2nd son's school actually pulled the kids into an assembly room and put the news on for a couple of hours. So they watched the 2nd plane strike a tower and they watched the towers collapse repeatedly. People in #sonOne's age group did not have that. He was already out of school when the "Jonesboro":{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1998_Westside_Middle_School_shooting} and "Columbine":{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbine_High_School_massacre} school massacres happened. Thus, he even missed out on the demand for police departments to provide on-campus school resource officers to local school districts. That said, I don't think everyone born in any of those years is the same as all (or even most) others that age in any significant aspect.

title: lnxw48a1: On tonight's phone call with #sonTwo, we were discussing some of my learning activities, because I mentioned that I need to start exploring using AI / LLM. I mentioned that I'd purchased "Raku Fundamentals" and that so far, it seems to be written for someone who uses programming languages a lot more consistently than I do. #Raku is a descendant of #Perl (same creator; indeed Raku was originally Perl6, but by the time it was released, most people were aware it was a completely different language, so they eventually changed its name). I've pretty much not used Perl in twenty years (I used it once in a project at work about 18 years ago, as part of a report processing pipeline, alongside #Python, Windows #Batch, and #KiXtart), so the demo programs seem to have purposes that are too large for language starters. I feel like it is supposed to glue itself onto "oh, I know that from Perl!" memories, but I don't remember Perl. What I remember most was that I liked it a lot when I learned it (college class), but as soon as I started trying to use it in real life I found that "there's more than one way to do it" equals "write once, read never". I used it in that pipeline because it excels at what I needed it to do (text processing) which helped take an ever-growing log file and find relevant events from the past day ... and because I knew the script would never need to be edited.

encoded: On tonight's phone call with #sonTwo, we were discussing some of my learning activities, because I mentioned that I need to start exploring using AI / LLM. I mentioned that I'd purchased "Raku Fundamentals" and that so far, it seems to be written for someone who uses programming languages a lot more consistently than I do. #Raku is a descendant of #Perl (same creator; indeed Raku was originally Perl6, but by the time it was released, most people were aware it was a completely different language, so they eventually changed its name).

title: lnxw48a1: Talking with #sonTwo about the kids. There’s now a telescope, so even though 4 1/2 year old #GS3 is really too young for it, they can occasionally have an evening observation. He likes space, stars and planets, the moon, and weather. I asked whether 2 1/2 year old #GS4 has started expressing his own preferences yet. The answer is he currently likes what his older brother likes, but he’s less emotionally invested in those topics. The exception is TV. GS3 likes “Bluey” and GS4 only likes “Octonauts”. And colors: GS3 likes blue and GS4 likes red. #GS5, at age 1 hasn’t shown any preference yet, but I’ve been looking for clothing in green for now.

title: lnxw48a1: In light of the recent massacre, I've had time to think about guns again. The last time I touched a firearm was when I was around 14 and an adult gang member came barging into the family home. I picked up the family pistol and pointed it at him. He realized that I really would shoot him if he did not retreat. He backed out of the door and exited the property. After the fact, I determined that I did not want to deal with the after-incident emotions related to possibly killing someone. (I should note that the gang member didn't learn from this experience. He tried again at least twice. One of my brothers likewise grabbed the gun and sent the guy fleeing both times.) Many decades later, there's no "let $BROTHER handle it". If a situation arose in which an intruder threatened my family members' lives, it would be up to me. I've been ready for years, but yesterday I decided to take some actions to prepare. Both #sonOne and #sonTwo were once shooting instructors. It sounds like they're planning to put me through the training, then buy me a weapon.

title: lnxw48a1: Interesting discussion going on with #sonTwo. What should band members do when a member of a Christian music group decides they no longer believe in God? Do they kick the person out? Do they continue as they have been? What is the reasoning for whatever choices they make? As usual, we're coming at it from different perspectives (different from each other as well as different from where I think we each would have come from a few years earlier).

title: lnxw48a1: @clacke I think experience and observation is the difference. When my nephew #Honshu was much younger, he was subscribed to an online music service. One month, my sister couldn't pay the Internet bill, and the service's local client very quickly shut off access to his downloaded music files when it could not check to see if he was allowed to listen. Lesson learned: buy your music on CDs and rip them to put on your player devices. With no #DRM / #TUR, the files will work even without a subscription. Likewise, I bought a version of the Sony #PSP for #sonTwo ... the one that used a digital download format for all games. In under a year, he'd lost access to all his games. I went to GameStop and bought a used PSP (the old style with the physical media) and he was able to play for years. DRM == "Digital Rights Management", a euphemism for TUR. TUR == "Technical Use Restrictions". TUR is meant to restrict and prevent use except in limited and pre-approved circumstances.

We usually had 2-3 kids in a joint birthday party (on a Saturday) and then 2-3 others in a joint party the next week. One boy always had his separate, possibly because most of his family were Spanish speakers.

title: lnxw48a1: #sonTwo is in a course about "social network marketing" with the potential to lead to a new career as a social network marketing manager / social network community manager. He said that the course talks about #SnapChat and #TikTok and he'll probably have to get accounts on these and other services as part of the course. He also said that he looked into #Threads, but if he creates a Threads account and then closes it for any reason, it would also close the associated #Instagram account. Naturally, since Threads is so new, there won't be any specific content about it. I suppose that it probably depends on the audience that the employer is targeting. I'm sure there are some SNM folks managing communities on extreme left-wing or extreme right-wing sites also.

All the spare baby stuff is cleared out, so it looks like a regular bedroom.

title: lnxw48a1: I bought us all Sony #PlayStation #PS4 and #Nintendo #Switch consoles years back. (Myself, #sonOne, #sonTwo, #Daddy_A). Additionally, I bought #A1, #GD1, #GD2 each their own Nintendo #2DS handhelds (and 2nd son sonTwo and I each got a #3DS handheld). Part of the plan was that we'd all play together and thereby increase our time spent together and our communication, but that never happened, so I stopped buying consoles.

title: lnxw48a1: #sonTwo told me that #GS3 isn't really interacting with the other kids ... which isn't unexpected, since he hasn't really spent much time with others his age. They tried to get the kids to dance and sing a song together, but he has never been one to join in. Apparently, he sang a few words toward the end of the song.

So it appears that some enslaved people still remain.

title: lnxw48a1: #sonTwo and his wife took the kids to a farm, where they got to pick blueberries off the plant. 4 year old #GS3 dutifully helped fill the bag, while 2 year old #GS filled his tummy. The photos don't show 8 months old #GS5 doing either, but I'm sure he had some berries. I can see 6 teeth in his mouth and I see his hand reaching out. Looks like a fun Saturday.

title: lnxw48a1: Despite low funds, I send #sonTwo a $47 weather "station". It features an indoor display (LCD) and up to four outdoor sensors. It does temperature, relative humidity, and atmospheric pressure, which it uses to predict storms. I wanted to send one with the wind sensor (spinny cups and turning arrow) and precipitation measurer, but it was four times the price.
