Club Happily Bald here. My wife prefers me without hair, and razor blades are significantly cheaper than haircuts. I can't imagine trying to preserve my hair.

I'm just using a trimmer, without any of the "sheets" or whatever in front. Used to do a 10mm trim, now I just do 0mm trim I suppose. Bought a machine maybe 10 years ago, still using the same machine, just needs lube sometimes, and a deep cleaning, otherwise it only costs the electricity! Works for hair anywhere on your body too, so you can get a 7-in-1 machine if you're lucky too! :)

III was my favorite. Lyle was so cool to 13 year old me, the multi-generation cyborgs were awesome (in fact, the multiple ending were all kind of neat), I loved the biomes connected by tunnels, and the art direction was kind of gross and funky compared to how clean the PSII enemies were.

The generations system in III was amazing. I didn't care that the art wasn't top notch, I loved the game and seeing the story over three generations. Decades later I wound up making a storytelling game mostly based on it.

My favorite thing about 3 is that the soundtrack has tracks based on the number of characters in your party. Gain a character? Suddenly the music is richer. Lose someone? The music sounds more lonely.

Truly underrated game.


Cahokia was one of the coolest places to take people when I lived in St Louis. It's kind of a hidden gem and it altered the way I had been taught that native people had lived.


I read this every couple years or so and enjoy it every time.


I work as a librarian (and have been one for 25+ years), but I kind of hate the things that librarians should care about. I got into this business because I like helping elderly people in my community with their smartphones and tablets, and getting children to read. I don't care about cosplaying as a social worker or lawyer, fighting injustice and challenging assumptions; I just want to help Mildred w her iPad so she can zoom with her grandkids.


Other people's dogs are my favorite dogs.


And wife and I are both old and wrinkly and happily child free. Childfree people aren't just hedonists.


I cut my parents out of my life as soon as I was able. Depending on the 'vibrancy of family life' when you're old is often a bad gamble.


I used to have a 'Rugged Indoorsman' shirt. Loved that one.



My home insurance jumped from $600 a year to $2300 a year from 2019 - 2025. A big boost for consumer spending indexes, but I feel really ripped off. (I shopped around last year and every company was charging the same amount)
