Quote from: K-Dog on Sep 21, 2025, 03:54 PMYou are a black kettle, in a misplaced attempt at shaming me you were questioning my transportation choices a few days ago.
I could care less about your transportation choices, after all you are apparently a cager and therefore something to be avoided, likely to be dangerous to those not protected by said cage.
What I believe I DID do was comment that someone who claims environmental credit for buying a heat pump apparently flies by airplane often enough to offset said environment credit.
And noted the inconsistency is all.
Quote from: K-DogDo what you want to do, but why the hell would I want to work at 'full professional capacity', at this point in my life that would be stupid. Been there and done that.
Of course. And my response is why in the hell would I NOT continue to work at full professional capacity because it is FUN! Exciting! I have plenty of vacation time available, more than I usually use, when I'm not working but have a terribly interesting, no one has ever thought of it before let alone solved it problem to tackle, it is like...crossword puzzles! Getting a new degree in a different topic, if I really dig down into particulars of a different field. Ride the motorcycle! (A good ride this evening!). I mean, I've seen what retirement can do to some folks. It is like...you retire.....maybe visit China or something, bother the kids, and then...die.
You do appear to write in an irritated manner at times, in what some call the "golden years". The last one I recall was the danish and coffee and gasoline thing because you work part time in some way that doesn't sound worthy of your professional experience and stated education.
Quote from: K-DogConcerning 'transportation choices' I was prompted to add a new article card.Code SelectThe Role of Individual Responsibility in the Transition to Environmental Sustainability
Which can be found using the edit menu and the 'search by title' option under the magnifying glass. First select the title above, and then hover over any card entry and press the edit selection in the right click drop down menu. Select title using the card title icon and paste in the title you copied. Then do a search with the magnifying glass (search by title). The card should load and using the 'Show Card' option will add it to the top of the article choices as if it was the first card found in a reload.
Yeah, I don't even know what these "cards" are. Are they important?
Me, I'm driving for an hour or two this evening to get to an official dark sky location, because it is a new moon and cloud cover it light. Last time I tried this in Arches NP the damn town lights were visible just enough to deduct from seeing the Milky Way.
And I get to do this and not even be retired! And I'll be working at 6AM tomorrow because....there are cool things to discover and reveal and collect accolades for.
