Oh, every day.

Then I’m reminded that my daughter has like the nicest part of town with a great daycare and school down the street and will pretty much be able to grow up safely enjoying the wilderness and recreation and community that I don’t think many get to, and I’m back to cursing on the internet.

Are there any options for an over35 or over40 league for men’s hockey, in town? Other than Heritage.

My husband plays in the HNA (Hockey North America) and he's 40+. Not sure how many teams there are but they play once a week.

Are you looking to place a team, or looking for a team to play on?

When is India going to pass China in population? I feel like we've been hearing about that for years.

So apparently the leading candidate to host the 2030 Winter Olympics, Salt Lake City, doesn't want to do 2030 and wants to do 2034 instead. Sapporo's candidacy is on hold due to corruption issues associated with the Tokyo games.

Sooooo... maybe we dust off those 2026 materials, give 'em a coat of polish and change the dates, and back for another kick at the can? Anybody?

Why can’t I access my coffee maker through the internet so that I can have fresh coffee waiting for me when I come home from the gym and have to head out again? I mean, I can already access my garage door, this should be feasible right?

[timun]

^Such machines already exist.

Yes, you can do it, but likely you can't because you have the wrong one?

Oh man. Those are obnoxiously overcomplicated for what a machine with a simple timer will do.

[keratosis]

Or have it setup so you just have to push a button when you get home?
If you need a coffee the minute you walk in the door, you probably have bigger problems.
