My dad shared his joys with me like this as well. I was as reluctant as Calvin.

I notice that every time I ask one of my kids to go out for a long walk I am doing what my father did: trying to share the things I care about. Every time I ask I get turned down, though. I’m blaming the rising temperatures of Earth rather than them not wanting to be with me.

The “staggered” enemies reminds me of Octopath Traveller. Having an eight person party is a lot like the Octopath mobile game, too. But I do appreciate the pixel art.

Just watched Time Travel is Dangerous. It was a pleasant ninety minutes. Thank you for mentioning it.

Tim Travers is next on my list.

I’ve been reading this comic wrong all this time! My eyes assumed Calvin said prodigy.

I recognize that dog from my time in Japan. It’s アフロ犬!

It looks like the educational website Kahoot. As a teacher, I hoped this was some open source version of it that I might more easily catch the cheating students in my classes.

My family was about to walk into a Target in south Florida when two police cars, driving much faster than was safe for a parking lot, pulled up to the front doors. Their lights were off, but my wife and I made eye contact and turned our kids around.

Generally speaking, officers of the law exceeding the speed limit is always a “avoid this area” signal for me.

I’m so happy this is getting released! I hated the idea that they had shelved it as a financial loss for a tax break.

Context: to make way for a permanent memorial. Florida’s rough, but this isn’t attempting to erasing the event.

They Might Be Giants

I use https://www.justtherecipe.com/ to strip out the stories.

As a teacher in Florida, my only hope is that those who don’t vaccinate are more often the type to homeschool.

One of the things Florida has banned this year is a reading tracker app called Beanstack. The commissioner of education sent a letter to all superintendents of schools (at the county level) directing them to share it with all staff and parents.

Florida says Beanstack gives children access to inappropriate material. I’ve used it to track summer reading for myself and my family. All it does is record reading and completion for books you enter. If you scan a book Florida considers inappropriate, you already have the book.

I had an incident just like this with my grandmother/not my grandmother around the time I read this strip in the newspaper. It’s really terrifying to lose your responsible adult under ten.

There was this awesome cooperative programming game called Leap Day from SpryFox. You would login and set up your automated citizens, collecting items, combining items, items with people in neighboring sections to defeat a boss in the middle, but the boss could only be completed by using items from your neighbors. Over time you would gain money for items you brought back to your base and every minute the day on it would resent and everyone go out and collect the same items again. You would have to build and rebuild your area to make enough factories to develop what you needed. I don’t think I’m it justice. I miss it all the time.
