  7. I find it a lot harder in the Spring --> Fall with vacations, something going on every weekend it seems and Sunday morning golf. I try and allocate at least an hour at night to either catch up on reading, bag and board, log books etc... but it's a never ending battle. The latest is converting to short boxes while changing all the bags that aren't in mylar yet (everything I bought prior to 2009). Maybe I'll finish by 2025.

  9. This thread, whatever the OP intent was, is a great example of the comic knowledge found on these boards and part of the reason I joined in the first place. TMNT is not in my wheel house but I just learned a ton. Great stuff!
  10. patience grasshopper. With "30 years" internet buying experience you seem to have a bit of a hard on for a transaction that seems hardly overdue and response to an email over the weekend out of normal businees hours. Have all your other purchases been delivered within days? I like Friday threads

  15. On a basic level, many people today interact via social media, e-mail, chat or even posting here rather than face to face. Remote work over the past few years has led to college graduates entering the work force without understanding of how to interact in a business environment, lose out on mentoring from experienced employees, and creating bonds and friendships with the workplace. These life skills are huge and a great loss for many of the current generation. There's less of a need or desire to go outdoors and play as many of us did in our youth. I see many younger kids today who are content to sit inside and snapchat, or post on tiktok, etc... These habits are being learned at a young age and can certainly lead to a more sedentary life style. I agree that all of the things you mention were heading in the current direction well before the internet, but technology and the explosion of social media in the past 15 years IMO has accelerated the problem. Not the cause of the obesity issue but I think it has started to play a role in the overall problem.
  16. I was leaning more towards our dependence on technology and how it has replaced human interaction in the latest generation but certainly agree with the fact that obesitiy is a huge problem for America. You can definitely tie it to technology or "advancements" if food processing over the years.
