I found it hugely disturbing that Cole Phelps (main character in L.A. Noire, so California '47) yells at a jewish murder that he is going to the gas chamber.
I always asked myself if that is a german thing, like being afraid of talking about these times...

Murderer... and AFAIR, gas chambers had been used in California for executions already in '47.
 
One hour from now my wonderful daughter will be "Officially" eighteen years old. My how the time flies.

Quick! For sentimentality have another kid and do it over again! :P

It's more lethal injections nowadays than the Gas Chamber, which up until I was five, I always thought was a room in prision they'd send the convicts to fart...i was an odd child

Forgetting to switch on the indoor ventilation in a small rest room after a large portion of good Chili, and your concept is not that odd. But such cruel forms of execution are luckily forbidden now.

Something like that actually happened, although it was with cows.:lol:

I'm willing, but the wife doesn't want to be 60 when the next kid graduates from high school.

So I said, "Why not let's adopt an 8 year old?"

I got a blank stare in return. The kid wasn't thrilled either, that would mean resource sharing in the form of someone else getting the benefit of mom and dad's paycheck.

All kidding aside, we'd all be thrilled with another one, but wife isn't capable any more due to some internal plumbing problems. But there is an adorable red-headed baby who we'd love to separate from here meth addicted parents...

Why? 60 is the new 40. :lol:

But yeah, children and software are really the only things that grow faster than you can perceive. :lol:
 
Your daughter will have one soom enough, then you get to babysit.
 
60 is the new 40! That's what I told the wife. The look I got in return was priceless. Any married man has seen and would recognize that same look. It's something that all females learn once a ring goes on that finger...

In an odd way, I'm not in any hurry for grandchildren. I mean I do want them, but the difference is that it wouldn't be my child, it's someone else's. I'm still going to be a proud grandparent, but I think there will one element removed (if that makes any sense).

And yes, the parents of the red-head have been involved with police before. I think they are on the cusp of losing custody. The dad is a loser redneck (opposed to a hard-working redneck, this guy works hard to worsen the stereotype), and the mom is... I can't type out those words, even if we were in the basement... With these two my thoughts go along the lines of "Can no one rid me of this meddlesome couple?". If wife and I were to somehow get the baby (her name is Jessica BTW), I'd want to ensure that there would be no possible way that they could ever regain custody. The law is tough on this one. Rest assured that the police and child services are keeping an eye on them. I just hope it's enough.
 
Grandchildren are awesome because you can load them up with a pack of skittles, and 1/2 liter of soda, and then send them home. :lol:

If your wife ever gets around to reading what you post on this forum, you'll be sooooo deep in trouble! :lol:

Phelps only did it to agitate him into confessing. (which turned out to be super effective) I'd call that actually shrewd.

And yes, sadly, it is I think mainly a German thing. Around here there are casually racist Jew jokes being constantly made, and the Nazi regime was just the most hilarious thing ever in the public opinion. The most opposition fascism and racism seem to get is in halfhearted high-school level social studies essays. It's sickening that such things are placed around the same level of evil as disco here. :facepalm:

Nah, I'm safe (on this at least). She has a problem with endometriosis, and her line of thought is "knowledge is power". She's pretty open about it, and for me, my advice to the women folk is, "If something doesn't feel right, go to the freakin' doctor!".

She dealt with abdominal pain for 6-8 months before she finally pointed to a region on her abdomen and asked "What's right here?". My response was, "Uhh, appendix?".

One doctor said for her to go see another doctor who told her to go see her OB/GYN soon, like right now, today!

She'd developed a tumor the size of a grapefruit on one of her ovaries, on top of that endometriosis was strangling the other ovary. Once she had surgery, she became a whole different person (much less grouchy).

OK, I might get in trouble for the less grouchy comment, but far less trouble for that than what I'd wanted to say....
 
The nuclear debate in switzerland just got funny. For a moment there was the actual threat that someone was actually going to do something (not necessarily the right thing, but at least something) about the looming energy crisis, but I think that threat has passed now.

The first problem is that the executive proposed the plan of building between four and six Gas plants to bridge the gap that will be caused by abandoning nuclear energy. The problem is, of course, that no one has any real idea by what the gas plants should eventually be replaced, everyone seems to just hope that something will turn up.

But the economists did them one better. They said gas plants could not be operated profitably, and proposed instead to build two new nuclear powerplants until 2020. Those new ones they're currently testing in china, that allegedly can't melt down anymore.

Seriously. 8 Years is a hell of a short time to build two nuke plants. And they propose a design that is currently in prototype phase. I wonder if any of these people are sane... :facepalm:

And of course, noone has a clue on where to dispose our old nuclear waste and power plants. Probably in some outback in Africa, because even the most arduous nuclear proponents absolutely oppose a final disposal anywhere in Switzerland. Because, you know, if they'd have to pay for that, suddenly the gas plants wouldn't seem so unprofitable anymore.
 
Nuclear power is the way to go in my opinion. Too bad we can't dump the waste in some hole on the Moon.
