His parents asked where he wanted to live and he said “how about in that pasture?”
so he ordered it and built the thing. Still holds up, too.

back then you could build a house from the sears catalog in your pasture
at some point in the future you can build a house in your pasture and pay whatever local official his bribe

Bill_Boone (bill_boone@poa.st)'s status on Tuesday, 07-Feb-2023 12:10:48 JST Bill_Boone @monsterislandcolonizer @WashedOutGundamPilot I was thinking about how fragile modern civilization is.
How many people do we depend on to know how power plants operate?
How many people know how to build and maintain bridges that don't fall down?
How many people know how microchips are made?
How many people know the how to make the many varieties of steel we need?
How many people know how to build or maintain the plants that make the steel?
How many of these people are White men who do not have succession plans because society has not functioned to the level where other White men are there to take their role? How many of these jobs have been shipped to China as the last White men retired?Woggy's Zeonic Frolicks likes this. -

HS education. He told me that the managers kept sending in guys to find out exactly what they did, recording times, temperatures, what was added when.

Except they’d been going for a while already, so they actually just started tracking which temperatures ‘looked right’ since the rforeman had been going entirely by color before that

I can no longer compartmentalize and give everyone the ‘fair shake’ I used to and start every stranger from zero
I keep losing it a little bit because 70% of the people I see and interact with day to day are basically just interchangeable, indistinguishable entities. The more stupid skanks I deal with, the more my mind just converts them to “Stupid skank #1,456,211” and treats them as if I’ve been dealing with that exact one for years already
“why do you always talk to me like I’m an idiot?”
“huh? do I?”

Hell just last week I was talking to the chick on the seat next to me about her job and she started talking about her relationship with her dad and how strained it was. Surprisingly intimate for a total stranger

Pretty sure I had been seeing the wife for nearly a month before I actually remembered her name, took me about a year to remember her mom's name... it's not that I don't care it's that I end up remembering obscure bullshit about random things instead for some reason.
I can remember the smell of the Scion they had back then (got totaled by a deer smashing up the whole engine block), I could recreate the layout of the house as it looked when I met her, I can drive somewhere twice (once in daylight, once at night) and return at any time, years later, confident I'll get there...

It’s really ingenious, you just give them a quick review before seeing that person again and they think you’re super cool and outward-looking.
Then again I never update my notes except to remember landmines and grudges so……..
I’m only halfway there

Everything cool is done by networking, and that little “oh, did your son make the team?” can open doors for you because the other guy will think “holy shit, this guy remembered that from last year? amazing, he’s really on top of things!”
The little notes app, or a spreadsheet can do wonders
then again I never update mine with the good, only the bad.
And the last time i felt very confident in going in blind I called a black woman “Kesha”……and her name was something like “Sarah” so that was embarrassing
