So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.

Hubs and I have a complicated relationship, for historical reasons. I think he anticipates me taking some decisive action (like divorce) that I don't plan to take. The car confuses and upsets him because if our positions were reversed, he wouldn't have done it, and he doesn't understand why I did.
I did it because it's the rational thing to do, it benefits both of us.

Sea drones attacked a Russian reconnaissance ship. Russian ministry of defense confrimed this information.
Russia reported that all unmanned boats were destroyed, the ship continued to function.
However, some sources say that although two drones were destroyed, the third one managed to damage the ship.
Russian Black Sea Fleet probably won't feel safe in the Black Sea anymore.

What I'm getting from this is that you don't measure and prep all your ingredients before-hand, and arrange them artfully in individual little bowls on your kitchen counter. Good for you.

My cooking challenge for 2023 has been to reduce the amount of dish-washing required for any particular meal, without compromising nutrition too much. For some reason celebrity cookery books seem to skirt this type of topic :)

He looks for subtext and hidden meaning (and what he'd do if our positions were reversed), and decides that's what I *actually* meant. He's done this for 31 years.
What I actually meant is what I said. If I'd meant something else, I'd have said something else. He has trouble with that concept.

I announced, he decided not to hear.
I'm in my element because this is about specifications and operation and mechanical/electronic things. He goes by subjective reviews and impressions.
[shrug] The math worked.

Surprising hubs is an astoundingly difficult thing to do, but this did. Despite me telling him we need to get him into an EV before me (my car gets 10+ higher mpg than his) and that I'd gotten pre-approved for financing with a 30 day deadline to buy, and that we were looking at cars for him. When I actually did it, he was surprised. I saw the car, the price, model, color all worked, and I did it. Much to his displeasure.
He had a meltdown. First the car, then the charger, and now I'm pushing him to get the rate information. Why didn't I involve him in any of this?
Because he agonizes, and can't make a decision. He drags it out until forced into a decision by timing, and then he grumbles about it when he makes the decision I knew he was going to make all along. Let's skip all that and just get to the end.
Hubs is not happy. But he likes the car I bought him.

I'm totally in my element, and hubs is feeling railroaded. Another day in my life.
We've talked about an EV for months, we've looked, I knew what he likes. So I bought him one last week. Yesterday I got the plug installed and ordered the charger for the garage - delivered tomorrow. This morning I told him I need the details on the power rate plan we're on; what rates are charged at which time of day.

A man is sitting next to his newborn baby's cot. From the other room his father comes in and lays a hand on his shoulder.
"You've done really well, mate. You'll make a brilliant dad."
The son looks up and smiles with a bit of anxiety in his voice. "Thanks, Dad. I really hope so."
The old man pulls out a small book from his back pocket and hands it to his son. "Now that you're a parent, I'd like you to have this. I studied it for the first year of your life and memorised every single one. I'd love you to use it for my grandson."
The son looks at the cover which is titled 1000 Dad Jokes To Annoy Your Children. He looks up with tears in his eyes. "Dad...I'm honoured."
His dad smiles: "Hello, Honoured. I'm Dad."
@actuallyautistic I feel like my art is very autistic. Example:

We have two spare rooms, and office we can put a bed in and large garden for tents.

Hardcover and paperback get separate shelves, and in descending order of size/thickness.
How do my #ActuallyAutistic comrades organize their libraries?
Hubs = the man I married.
@ScottSoCal hubs? I'm not familiar with the term
+1 to riding the carts though! π

98.6 is typical, but people have different baselines. I run about a degree lower than that.
