But why...? What's the benefit of having a wifi connected washer? So you can put the load through again from bed when you realise you forgot to hang it out?... Wouldn't you still have to add detergent....I don't understand

And Hall & Oates...... Though they are commonly referred to as Hall & Oates, both members have been adamant about the duo being called Daryl Hall & John Oates โ€“ its official name

Well...I guess not the same as they weren't referred to as The Hall and Oates...but I think I still have a valid contribution.

It amazes me that I still sweat so much on my runs when it's so cold out.

Edit - I see people running in down vests for Christ's sake

Dead Man is my favourite film, and my favourite Billy Bob Thornton line - By God, I'm hit. Lord have mercy. Burns like hellfire. You son of a bitch. I'm gonna have to kill somebody now.

Always thought this was cool regarding the score - Young recorded the soundtrack by improvising (mostly on Old Black, his famously customized electric guitar, with some acoustic guitar, piano and organ) as he watched the newly edited film alone in a recording studio.

Hey man. Coupling and parenting is tough, believe me I know. Among other things the constant tiredness is really something that makes relationships hard, communication becomes really hard and misunderstandings, assumptions, and unfortunately resentment can build pretty quickly and easily. We've been going to counselling for about 18 months this time around, had a break before that and before that about another year with a different therapist. Seems like we are in similar boats as I was requesting it for a fair while before my partner agreed. If I can give you some advice for the counselling....try to go in with a completely open mind, as in don't assume you know everything about the feelings involved, situational history etc. I had to come to terms with some stuff about myself pretty quickly that I didn't even realise I did/do... If you both go in ready to work on things, ready to understand the others viewpoint, ready to be honest...that's the best you can do. The people you were are likely still there, the things you love about your partner are likely still there, just that they're being hammered by responsibilities that no one knows the full extent of before having kids. I hope things improve for you, and you and your partner can have some real understanding and compassion for each other.

Can confirm. The drive north from Adelaide is just amazing. I pulled over one night off the highway, drove about 1km west along very flat easy ground and camped for the night. The stars were just unbelievable.

Anyone of you people got a Pi 5? Worth the upgrade? I'm thinking a simple desktop computer for the kids to have access to...
