  • How some of these parents with just high school diplomas do it is beyond me. They don’t. I’m in the same boat. Technical Bachelors, MBA. We home schooled my son with a learning disorder for a year, primarily as a response to the school districts failure to do their job. It was not a success. While I still think it was the right decision, it was incredibly hard. Which is why it only lasted one year.







  • This is the solution. The bite is that politicians know it is incredibly unpopular, and in America penalizes rural voters who have to drive farther. Ideally, it would be assessed annually when you renew registration and amortized out as monthly payment (or possibly an option to pay a lump sum). Based on your cars mileage for the last year, so it would be a post paid tax. However here in Texas, we just got rid of inspections that verify your mileage, so it would be left to self reporting, which is notoriously unreliable.



  • Or, and hear me out here, get an old dell i3, and a couple 6tb hdd to run unraid, with the arr’s and plex in dockers. Then decide that’s not enough storage, so you get some 8tb drives. Then decide you need some mote space, and you might as well upgrade the chip. Plus you need a GPU to transcode, and the Dell won’t support that. So now you’ve got a fractal Define R5, Asus MOBO, Nvidia GPU, i5, 8 14tb hdd, 2 more 14 tb hdd’s for parity, 2 120gb ssd’s for cache, and noctua fans to keep the noise down. So what I’m saying is I might have a problem.



  • I highly recommend The Expanse on Amazon Prime. A number of badass female characters- Drummer, Naomi, Clarissa, Avrisarala, Bobbi. Not a single Mary Sue among them. 6 seasons, really gets into the meat of the story. Excellent character development,/Arc over the course of the series. Even the guy who is one dimensional (Amos) winds up having depths. If she likes to read, the books are even better. The same, but different. Also, the Murderbot Diaries are really good books, fast easy reads but very entertaining.
