HCette has over the top anxiety about taking Thatcher Venmo on the plane. Every time we do it she works herself up so much and thinks that he's an absolute terror on the plan and everyone is staring at him/us.

He's not perfect on the plane but for the most part he just constantly eats snacks and babbles/yells loud sometimes but it's never a constant yell or anything. She doesn't recognize that and i'm past the point of trying to tell her that no one is staring at us so that video pissed me off yesterday.

Like you said, as long as parents are making an effort that's all I care about and HCette is making an effort from the second she gets on the plane to the second we get off it.

As someone who had to take 3 different babies on dozens of transatlantic flights, this shit just pisses me off. You're a grown man throwing a temper tantrum over a baby. Yes, I get it, it's annoying as f***. Just pop on some noise cancelling headphones and be thankful you aren't the parent, because it's absolutely f***ing miserable to be the parent. It's not like we can drive to go see my in-laws, so you're just going to have to make the best of it as I try to calm down my 9 month old who's teething. And my kids were generally all terrific on the plane, but still, sometimes your infant can't wrap his or her head around having to sit on a plane for 8 hours.

I’ve flipped shit on employees before and apologized prior to flipping said shit for them not being the intended target and nearly convenient collateral damage.

An adult human male capable (in theory) of independent and rational thought being annoyed at a human infant who is not yet capable of independent or rational thought is just pathetic. The baby doesn't know it's not supposed to cry. The baby doesn't even know what's going on. It's not like it's anyone's fault a baby is crying on a plane. Put some earbuds in and mind your business. Mind boggling to me. It's like genuinely being annoyed at someone for snoring. They literally can't help it. They don't even know it's happening.

Grow up.

I had surgery (Vitrectomy) on a total retina detachment in my right eye last Tuesday. Thankfully, the surgery went well and I’m able to go back to work this coming Monday. The retina detachment was from residual trauma from emergency eye surgery I had in July 2005. A piece of concrete lodged itself in my right eye when I was breaking up a patio with a jackhammer (it found its way under my glasses/goggles the pesky bastard).


I hope none of you guys ever have to get this surgery. From last Tuesday (post-surgery) through tonight, I’ve had to have my head down for 50 minutes for every hour when I’m awake. I’ve had to sleep on my stomach face down too. My back and neck are going to be so happy once I’m done with this tomorrow morning.

Good luck.

Do you want me to beat up your retina, jackhammers, or concrete?

SpaceX giant rocket explodes minutes after launch from Texas

SpaceX’s giant new rocket exploded minutes after blasting off on its first test flight and crashed into the Gulf of Mexico. Elon Musk’s company was aiming to send the nearly 400-foot (120-meter) Starship rocket on a round-the-world trip from the southern tip of Texas, near the Mexican border. It...

Thanks! Nah. I’m going to have to wear an eye patch whenever I go in public (Grocery store, work, etc.) because my eye is blood red and it looks like it was murdered. It’ll definitely freak people out if I essentially free-ball it (i.e. don’t wear an eye patch) lol. My work wife bought me some fun Batman eye patches. They say “BAM” and “POW” and other nonsense words from the old Batman movies and TV shows.

Not unexpected supposedly since it was the first test launch on this rocket type. Musk gave it 50/50 odds of achieving it's goal.
