  • I was teaching my kid how to nail while doing one of those Home Depot kids projects that can you bring home. I held it up to show him and nailed too hard with the way I was holding it that the nail went through and pierced my left hand at the base of thumb all the way to the muscle.

    I promptly told him, “that’s why the correct way to nail is to put it on the ground to do this and do not hold it like that, now daddy needs to go get a bandage real quick.”

    I cleaned it, bandaged it, finished the project, and then went to the doctor just in case because it was fairly deep. 🤣





  • they came up with the abbreviation “IANAL” back in the 80s or 90s, back when the World Wide Web was either not even a thing yet or brand-spanking-new and Usenet was king.

    Child of the 80s here and grew up with connecting through a university and 28k modems. I never encountered the term IANAL until the last ten years or so. I was mostly on gamer forums though so maybe that’s why? I never saw it on older websites or chat rooms either.









  • I live in America, so there’s that. I’m over 40 and now health is definitely a priority.

    However, I passed my CompTIA A+ certification and had a few interviews but decided the tech industry is a volatile shit hole even if the pay can eventually be great. I was substitute teaching in the in between and have LOVED it, so I decided to go back to school and I’m starting graduate classes in a week for my Master’s in (elementary) Education!
