My dad died while I was in grad school (pancreatic cancer). He was the sole breadwinner for our household - it was a real wakeup call, but I also realize in hindsight that he probably negatively impacted my personal growth. I thought, while he was around, that supporting the family business would be a viable career path, but it was mismanaged and I disagreed with decisions he would make. Instead I have had a successful career in consulting and with large corporations. There was an interim period where I did manage the business, but ended up shuttering it/liquidating. It also resulted in my siblings getting full rides to compete their undergrad. I think in our case, experiencing the bottom fall out motivated us to not miss our shot.

I do miss him, but I can't help but think it was for the better.

"over the" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 /s

This is funny, I asked my wife this morning "have you ever thought of tasting the cat's canned wet food?"

We've never done a taste test, sad to say.

I didn't finish everything I had set out to at work today, but the stuff I did finish was well received. I'm on track to go to bed on time, was able to exercise, and we cooked a pretty bomb masaman curry dish for dinner. There's always tomorrow for work stuff - consider my goals for the day completed.

My brother works at a restaurant where the head chef mentioned that he has tried sea turtle soup. The chef said that it's a good thing that sea turtle is illegal to consume because the soup and texture of the meat was so perfect that sea turtles would be guaranteed to go extinct otherwise.

Every day. My boys get 1/3 cup of dry food and a can of wet food. They're both ~11 lbs, trim and healthy. Cats shouldn't be on a pure dry food diet if possible.

I went to the Musée National d'Art Moderne in Paris yesterday and one of the exhibits was focused on this. Neat to see a lemmy post with the same artwork used to advertise the gallery.

Does loss of access to Champaign or other wines with geographic restrictions carry enough weight to get folks to realize that we're too far gone in terms of fighting climate change? It's a material impact that will change the way people interact with wine. Will the winos rise up?

Who am I kidding.... Nothing will change and my children will fight in the water wars of 2045...

Cool, do it
