Those who didn't initially want kids, but got influenced/pressured by their partners, how that played out?
We had a son (4) and a daughter (2) and my wife really wanted a third. I wasn't that excited about the idea, because we had 2 children and one of each seemed like plenty.
I was a pretty firm "no" for a long time, but she eventually convinced me during a particularly hot and heavy night.
Our youngest is now 10 and she's an absolute joy. I can't imagine my life feeling complete without all 3 kids. It's one of the greatest things she ever conned me into doing.
Then I got a vasectomy.

Jury finds Jennifer Crumbley guilty of manslaughter in son's school shooting
Reply in thread
Before he passed away, my kids' grandfather bought all his grandkids their first 22 rifle. Some of the cousins were still infants but he wanted to buy them something. He was a prolific hunter and marksman. My kids guns all lived in the safe until they were old enough to shoot them, and now they live in the safe when not in use. You can give guns to kids all day long, that's not the problem and the gun is not the problem.

Let's not forget the Fish Cam. You could press Ctrl Alt F in Netscape and go to a live stream of a fish tank in like 1994

What's (are) the funniest/stupidest way(s) you've broken your linux setup?
Connect via ssh to my home server from work
Using a cli torrent client to download stuff
Decide I need a VPN.
Install VPN again from CLI
Run VPN which disconnects my ssh connection
Even when I get home, the server is headless so I have to locate a keyboard and mouse before I can fix.

Recognizing when you're living in your best years

No, you demonstrate love and unconditional acceptance and support. Today they're babbling on about something that happened at ballet, tomorrow they trust you enough to talk about their relationships and teachers and the bully at school.
Kids have enough time in their day to learn social convention - they also just need a safe environment to unpack everything with their parents.

The thinking is that a gunshot is always lethal force. If you want to stop the threat most effectively you aim for center mass. So in this case someone is attacking you with a weapon capable of causing death or great bodily harm and legally you can defend yourself with deadly force.

What nonfiction books have caused a paradigm-shift in your life?
The Sun Does Shine - I was a supporter of the death penalty until I read this book. It totally rocked my world and I realized how totally wrong I was. There are evil people in this world, but I am not God and I don't get to decide who lives and dies. Also, if there is even a small chance that someone was wrongly convicted, we can not kill them - we make ourselves murderers.
Really this book made me rethink my entire view on systematic racism, the prison system, and the death penalty.

I've got a 20ish year old C9 that's plenty reliable. I've cleaned it exactly once ever and it sends rounds down range just fine. It's accurate enough, and unless you limp wrist it, it doesn't have any problems cycling.
Is it my EDC? No. But for taking to the range and screwing around it can put holes in paper where I want them.

UPDATE - FAKE NEWS - Oregon Pastor Charged with Multiple Counts of Rape, Sodomy, and Sexual Abuse
The website linked here is the only thing that comes up when you search for more details. The author cites no sources and it sounds like AI written drivel. I did find an arrest for similar charges by someone with this name but in a different state with totally different pictures.
Can we get some sources for this? Or is it totally fabricated
