I'll be that guy. I hate the trend of giant inflatables.

I'm an old and I don't matter though.

Otoh.... same principle

Edit: I'm talking about the 15-foot tall ones that form a wall around some houses now. Every time I walk into costco or menards it's just a wall of seasonal tackiness. blech.

Haha there’s a hood near me where many of the homes are 2-3M or more each. One of the homes has like 4 cheap HUGE inflatables up each year and they live right next to a wild player. Whenever I drive by I always wonder what tbry think every time they go outside
 
I usually put up lights on the roofline of my house. My back has been screwed since April and have decided to not wrestle a super heavy extension ladder that is necessary to put them up this year. I am incredibly bummed. I love having lights up. There are a lot of things my back has robbed me of this year and honestly it’s pretty damn depressing.

LOL, god, I'm just complaining about janky ass GDO. I can't even imagine having a $2M house and having to look at the Macy's thanksgiving parade every time I drive by. COuld be even worse since they can afford that lol.

Ugh, that blows. Sorry to hear that.... :-(

I'm all for lights. I think lights are amazing. Been wanting to do the same but i'd want a nice fiberglass ladder and that's just not in the budget right now. Plus my fear of heights.... Either way. I think they can look really cool and brings a nice touch to the neighborhood.

There's a line though. I don't want CHevy Chase setting up and pointing 2.5 million lumens at my bedroom window.

Other neighbors put up lights? Idea: a friend pools some cash with his neighbors every year and they get together and rent a man-lift for a day and get everyone's lights up without using any ladders.

Good idea. Unfortunately not many of the neighbors join in my immediate area. There are a decent number of the inflatables dx hates around though. X^D

Maybe I’ll ask around though. It’s possible no one is putting them up for the same reasons.
 
:-D


The only thing I hate worse is those stupid laser-on-the-side-of-your-house deals. Despise those. Half because I'm an irrational Scrooge and half because I was once landing at MSP and looked out my window only to be blinded by one. Fuck that shit. Should be a felony to own one.

Quite a few in my area have inflatable displays. I often walk the dogs at around dawn, and it tickles my Scrooge heart to see them lying deflated face-down on the frozen ground. The Night wins out once again.
 
We started potty training our daughter over the weekend. She was running around the house commando style the whole time. Excitement has never made me so nervous. Farts have never been so scary.
 
Boss bought Christmas gifts for three of us: Rocketbook Pro reusable notebook.

It looks pretty sweet. The app, when it scans a notebook page, will instantly PDF the page and send it to your email or another destination. The pages are essentially a whiteboard and can be erased and reused.

The OCR handwriting recognition has been pretty good so far too, I'm impressed with it. I'm actually looking forward to taking notes for work.


Anyone else have experience with the Rocketbook notebooks?

That sounds... very nice.
 
I now work with a woman whose surname is Arriola. It’s pronounced like areola. Yes, she said that, sadly, that’s how the family pronounces it.

That’s a bummer of a birthmark, lady. Well, it’s a bummer for her - lots of immature fun for the all of us.
