I like both to be honest.

With that said, I actually lean more toward the Fi end of things, because when a book or movie gets something obviously wrong it’s really grating. Where as with technobabble it’s true in that universe, so who am I to contradict it. It’s easier to stay in the moment.

As a case in point, I actually turned Prometheus off at the point when it’s stated the ship traveled a billion miles… Or you know, out to Jupiter. The writers could have taken 10 seconds to educate themselves that as far as distances in space go, a billion miles isn’t even out of your own yard yet. Much less an interstellar distance. Given the reviews on the rest of the movie, I apparently didn’t miss much. Yes, I’m aware that Prometheus is solidly in the Fi end of the spectrum, but come on… Some one actually thought a billion miles was an interstellar distance? JFC education is really going down the tubes.

Paper route when I was 14.

Yes, I’m aware that paper routes aren’t really a thing any longer… I’m old.

Well, I hate to break it to them, I can’t sustain it either.

So I don’t plan on buying anything for the foreseeable future. Even if something experiences a failure, I’ll just go without, or pull out an older device out of retirement. I don’t really need the latest and greatest anyway. If it comes down to it and I do need to replace a piece of hardware, it’ll come from the used market, or god forbid I get my soldering iron out and fix it.

Was at a bar with some friends and talking with one of them, who happened to be a rather attractive woman. She was not my girlfriend, I’ll explain the relationship below…

The bar was a dive in the town that we frequented often on Saturday nights. A guy walked up and started talking with my friend and pointedly getting in between us, telling her that he was a “Skydiver” and that he had just jumped that day. She acted suitably impressed and made ooh and ahhh noises when he told her about the Tandem jump he had done that day.

My relationship to that woman? She jumped the tail slot on my 4-way team and we had done 11 training jumps just that day. She also was also north of 2000 jumps at the time and jumped with me competitively.

Oh and the guy’s tandem master that day was her husband.

It didn’t take long for the guy to run away with his tail firmly tucked between his legs. She had a very sharp tongue when annoyed.

In middle school I had something similar happen to me. The bully hit me on my upper back as hard as he could. The thing is my upper back is the least sensitive part of my body. He left a bruise, but I barely felt it in the moment.

I turned and looked at him and asked; “Do you feel better now?”

He never looked my way again.
