  • Yeah, good point. I can't think of anything I had as a kid that would be drastically improved with modern batteries, but for sure cordless power tools are a big change. I have a cordless electric chainsaw - that wouldn't have been feasible in the 70s.

  • Are batteries that much different? I was born in the early 60s, and the batteries my toys used seemed like the same AAA, AA, C, and D batteries we use mostly today. I think the key difference is that a lot of things take a lot less energy than they used to.

  • He gets shit for drone strikes (which he increased but didn't start) that had civilian casualties, but no mentions that everyone prior just used larger dumb bombs that had a lot more civilian casualties. Everyone just says "Look at how many drone strikes under Obama!" Here's the estimated number of middle eastern civilian deaths since 2001:

  • Thanks, I appreciate that. I'm not really enjoying 2025 so far (I'll just mention that I'm pretty far left leaning as well, so you can understand that country/world events are stressful).

    We had planned on selling our house in CA and moving to WA. Now my wife has gone to NM to live with our son, and I'm getting ready to sell the CA house so we can each buy one. I've decided to stay in the same area of CA (where I grew up, where all my friends are), which means my house will be a small condo since prices here are super high. So that's adding to the stress, but compared to the marriage ending thing it feels more minor.

    I know things will settle out, but it's been hard to take.

  • I'm 62. I retired in January. In February, my 30-year marriage ended. I'm living alone for the first time in decades, and I never really did it very long before (a few years in my late 20s. It's very strange. at this age.
