Does the name change with age?You... are aware that baby names change in popularity over the years, right? Like, my grandma's generation definitely had a lot more girls named Judith than in recent years, and a name like Brayden is far more common now than it was 30+ years ago. --- https://i.imgur.com/qUAL3fG.gifv |
| Topic | Is your state/country landlocked? |

A few Camerons - one girl and three guys off the top of my head. One Hayden, at least one Chase. I think I met a Bailey once. --- https://i.imgur.com/qUAL3fG.gifv |

| Mizznox 11/10/23 6:58:18 PM #3 | It's one of the main ways I navigate the site. I can get straight to unread posts in topics in which I may be interested in continuing the discussion or at least seeing where it's gone, or get to the topic list of the few boards I actually visit regularly. Haven't bothered trimming down my list of favorite boards, and am just in the habit of going through My Posts instead of hovering over My Boards and picking one.

| Mizznox 11/10/23 6:13:24 PM #24 | Within the past few months, but I did not get out on it nearly as much as I'd like this summer. But I'll be moving it over from my old apartment this weekend, and my gf's kids do a lot of bike riding so I'll hopefully take it out a couple times before we start getting snow.

| Mizznox 11/09/23 5:08:51 PM #11 | Alaska required 2 my whole life, but like a year ago they changed it to just 1. On the back, of course, unless it's a heavy commercial vehicle (like semis and dump trucks and such) which goes on the front.

| Topic | Are you old enough to remember sub-dollar gas prices? |
| Mizznox 11/09/23 2:48:27 PM #23 | I don't distinctly remember seeing it on the signs, but looking up historical prices for Alaska shows that the average price stayed below $1 (and usually well below) from 1991 through 1999, and I was born in '89.

| Topic | NBA is unwatchable |
| Mizznox 11/07/23 3:20:26 PM #153 | "There's no defense" is a lazy criticism and usually feels like it's coming from someone who isn't actually watching closely or understanding what they're seeing. Defense has become harder for various reasons, but it sure as hell is still being played.
There are defensive rule tweaks that could be made that I'd be on board with. There's a lot of contact initiated by the offensive player that was called an offensive foul long ago, eventually became a no-call for much of the 90s/00s, and has now shifted to being a defensive foul more often than not. Defenders have lost some of the right to occupy their space, and I wouldn't mind seeing them get that back. But then there's the simple fact that having more players on the court who are capable of shooting and handling the ball well makes it a lot harder to deny offenses. Defenses have to chase, scramble, cover more ground than ever because there are fewer offensive liabilities and stiffs on the court than ever and offenses spread out and move off-ball more. --- https://i.imgur.com/qUAL3fG.gifv |
| Topic | Are cats and dogs allowed to sleep on your bed? |
| Mizznox 11/05/23 2:25:16 PM #20 | The only issue would be that the cat that's usually in bed with us doesn't approve of the dog getting too close to her, lol. The dog is otherwise welcome, but he rarely wants to be on the bed anyways (even before I brought my cats over).

| Topic | Is Halloween dying? |
| Mizznox 11/02/23 7:48:13 PM #27 | We went to a friends house for Halloween, and their neighborhood was insane. Parked cars lining all the streets, so many kids and families running around. We went through nearly 16 Costco bags of candy. Houses nearby advertising their haunted walkways, the beers they were handing out for parents with kiddos, etc. on community Facebook pages, etc.

| Topic | Do pets belong inside? |
| Mizznox 11/02/23 2:15:58 PM #25 | Depends heavily on the pet and where you're at.
We have a Karelian "Bear Dog" and we live in bear territory, at the dead end of a quiet street, and keep chickens outside. So yeah, he goes out pretty much whenever he wants and roams free to go scare off wild critters. He listens well, doesn't wander down towards the main road unless we're with him, and the neighbors all love him. The cats occasionally get to go out on the enclosed porch, but that's all. --- https://i.imgur.com/qUAL3fG.gifv |
| Topic | Do you have ZERO desire to have kids and be a parent? |
| Mizznox 10/31/23 6:59:55 PM #7 | Spent basically my whole life not really caring either way - enjoyed the lack of extra expenses/responsibilities in adulthood, never had a strong desire to have one myself, but always figured if I met the right person and she wanted a kid or two, I could get on board with it.
Met the right person and have recently moved in with her. She has three kids already (16, 13, 9) and being a sort-of parent to them is suiting me just fine. We certainly have no interest in having one of our own. --- https://i.imgur.com/qUAL3fG.gifv |

| Mizznox 10/31/23 4:45:30 PM #68 | Finish moving out of my old apartment.
Finally wrap things up with my grandma's estate and get the probate closed... fingers crossed. Just have a couple annoying loose ends to tie up, then hopefully we'll be good to distribute assets and get property transferred into our name. Got an offer agreed to on her Arizona house (different state so not part of this probate) and that should wrap up in a few weeks if everything goes okay. Rec league men's volleyball is coming to an end, hopefully do okay in the tournament this weekend and then find another regular physical activity to kill time until coed in February. --- https://i.imgur.com/qUAL3fG.gifv |

Your posts come across as "Israel needs to do *something* (insert handwaving) but anything with collateral damage is too much." As with most of the other users here, you seem insistent on doing nothing at all.I'm not an expert, but I have this radical idea that a military as capable as Israel's shouldn't need to resort to wanton destruction. Don't intentionally shoot through/bomb the human shields. I'm under no impression that ZERO collateral damage is realistic, but make some effort to reduce it. --- https://i.imgur.com/qUAL3fG.gifv |

Well, sure. Things like not allowing extremely heavy vehicles on roads not designed to carry them, or particularly long/wide vehicles in areas that can't accommodate them well. "You can't use our highways to travel to other states for a legal operation in that state" is obviously absurd, though. --- https://i.imgur.com/qUAL3fG.gifv |

Honestly, unless you have a couple days you can take off I'd suggest getting them spaced out. Five of us at work got both at once and all of us were absolutely miserable for 4-5 days after.Got both at the same time last year and I was fine. One of the first couple vaccines had me pretty fatigued for a few hours, but that's the worst any of the shots have done to me. --- https://i.imgur.com/qUAL3fG.gifv |

The "it worked " being that people are believing it's "40" instead of it's "some"?No, that people are believing: "Amid their attack, they specifically rounded up 40 babies for a mass beheading" instead of "There were also babies there, so some died in the attack." The actual awfulness of it may not be meaningfully different, but the former gives a specific horrible thing for people to have an emotional reaction to, more so than the general news of a terrorist attack that a lot of Westerners just gloss over. --- https://i.imgur.com/qUAL3fG.gifv |
