Homeschooling in the Tech Community

I can't wait until we are learning about American rail history. We plan on doing some model railroad projects and riding the rails from Chicago to California to explore the old rail trails.
Nerd alert.
Kidding, I love trains, seriously, and when my youngest daughter said she liked trains, she became my favourite
-
Grove Social has a model train community you know! Sadly, no one posts there but me. Hop in and we can talk trains there!!
-
Hmmm... will try to get that fixed.
-
@scottalanmiller You're such a tease
-
Sorry, meant for that to work, lol. That site is often used for testing of the NodeBB updates so it breaks more than the others.

Oh lawd, you don't have a staging environment? Those poor model trains

We use the low priority communities for that

that's so horrifying to me, I won't sleep well tonight -
Maybe once there are advertisers and sponsors, but as long as the site is purely a community effort.... paying for extra capacity isn't in the cards I don't think.
-
Site is fixed. Go check it out!!
-
Perfect timing.... modelrr... saw this an hour later...
-
LOL. Good one.

There's the one hand that wants to homeschool our daughter for all purely selfish reasons: I don't want to get up early every day, I want to go on vacation when I want to go on vacation, and I am paranoid about the types of kids/situations in public school.
Then there's reality that says in no way am I disciplined enough to homeschool our daughter, I need me time without kids in order to function as a civilized human most of the time, and she is so excited about going to kindergarten that she can't hardly stand it.
If I could find a situation where someone else could homeschool my kid, that would be great.
-
@NetworkNerdWifey there are kids that just NEED that social interaction at school. Nothing wrong with that. Not every personality is cut out to spend 24/7 with their kids. Every kid is different in what they need.
-
@scottalanmiller As soon as I register I can see the entries anymore, apparently I don't have access. Also, ever consider combining the user system or linking them like StackExchange? That's what I'd do, and I'll do it if you pay me to
-
That's pretty weird. I think that I need the NodeBB guys to look at that one.
-
@scottalanmiller THERE'S SO MUCH I NEED TO SAY ABOUT O, S, HO SCALE TRAINS AH!!!
-
And TT! Don't forget that. Very popular in Europe. It's a great scale.

Yeah TT is pretty popular where I grew up, people there are super smug about it, I on the other hand love HO scale, TT is too small for me, I feel like being able to accidentally swallow an engine isn't very practical, and HO scale is just easier to work with. I really hate O and S scale though, way too big.

This is an odd tangent you guys went off on... but I will join in. Not too far from me is a "museum" for 1/4 or 1/5 scale model trains. The ones that grown adults can ride on. If I remember right there are ~30 miles of track associated with this and they have people coming from all over the world to watch these trains go by and to test new designs on a "realistic" surface. I can't remember what it is called I will do some searching.
