I will pay you good money to burn Twitter to the ground

Keep your money. It's already in my business plan. In fact, it IS my business plan.

That is far far too much work for a small box. Just use power tools. A table planet and router would have saved this guy at least 80% of his time.

Guessing they don’t really care about efficiency

It's from a fun site called inspirobot. I feel like The Child's 'inspirational' message would have been much, much darker.

EDIT: The Child may have been involved with this one...

I have a round blanket that looks just like a pepperoni pizza. Pizza Blanket is my most prized possession. The child has stolen it and hidden it. I have no idea where the f*** it is. I've torn the house apart. She is constantly taunting me about how I can't have it. She said I have to wait 7 days. I asked what happens after 7 days, and she said then I have to wait 300 days.

The first time she did this I just asked if there's anywhere I shouldn't look, and she immediately accidentally told me where it was. She has adapted.

1) I approve of these shenanigans

2) my brother in law decided to do a white elephant thing at Christmas this year. I picked out an incredibly stupid gift; the Tortilla Blanket:

Does anybody else wrap their paint rollers in foil and freeze them for later use? It works really well.

Paid some douche painter to remove some wall paper, spackle the plaster lath, prime and paint a master bedroom and he did an amateur job. I could have done it way better myself but didn't have the mental space for the project...now I am having to fix all his flaws anyway. Dude was a POS too....long story short...when I called him out for rushing the job and cutting corners and then cut his final payment he threatened to splash paint all over my house. Had to call the cops.....he was lucky I didn't rage and throw him down my very long flight of stairs like a Blues Brother....

So, the wife has a work conference over in Amsterdam in mid-March, and I was going to tag along. The conference is a Monday-Thursday and she said she isn't going to have any time to do anything other than work related activities during that time. I am going to head over with her and I'll find things to do while she's working/I'll probably work as well, but we are going to extend the trip on the back end, until probably the following Saturday.

Anyone have any good recommendations on countries/places to visit while over there? We discussed perhaps maybe going to Dublin or London and we also talked about maybe just going to Italy for the week. We are open to flying anywhere.

I think the follow-up question for you is, what do you like to do?

For example, I'd go to war sites and various museums if I was going to that area.

3 of my friends have those. They're actually pretty comfortable

 

[DAVIDE1333]

It's one of those hobbies that as you get better at it, it becomes more tedious. And there is no short cuts to satisfaction.

Basically you get to a point that you are good enough that your hobby gets bogged down by all the things you have learned, and don't nessicarily want to do. But if you skip those steps then the end result will be unsatisfying.

Plus as you get older and your eye sight gets worse and hands less steady everything gets harder.

"everything gets harder."
Not everything.

Best pizza I have ever had?

Fuoco Vivo, Amsterdam.

Nduja, Aubergine, Scamorza with a San Marzano tomato base.
Caputo red and blue flour mix for the base (had a chat with the chef aha).

Unreal. And make their own yellow chilli sauce which is incredible.

So go there and order that @Cody Webster aha.

Also, in terms of places to visit while over nearby?

Utrecht is 20 mins on the train.
Ghent is an unreally cool city in my eyes.
Brussels has a lot to do.
Bruges is very pretty.
If want to stay local to Amsterdam. Also come for a drink with me in Leiden aha.

In terms of Europe in general? Rome, Berlin, Paris, Barcelona and Lisbon are I would say the best 5 cities. Athens and Copenhagen are also amazing.
But tbh if you fancy being more adventurous? Maybe go to Morocco for 3 days or so after. Different continent and very cheap to fly to from NL.

The Child is angry she has teeth

You need to tell her the truth, but not the whole truth.


Let her know that they're going to fall out, very soon.

Don't tell her that they're going to grow back.

She already had one fall out.

She knows grown-up teeth come in after. She also knows grownups are in charge.

When it fell out, I first knew something was up be cause she started laughing like a victorious villain. Literally, MWAA HA HA HAAAA and then she started gloating about how she's gonna be in charge now. It was a power rush.

You can tell her that with adult teeth come adult responsibilities. Have her pay one of the utility bills.

That's how it was done when I was growing up. Now look at me - posting like a boss on a hockey forum.
