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.

That's up there above G scale, try these:

That's up there in G scale, that's what it's called in Europe, no idea what it's called in the US, maybe the same.
I'm not really into model trains but my grandfather is (not calling you guys old) he doesn't do the internet but he saw it on the news and wanted me to look it up. We were planning on going this summer, now I can't seem to remember the name.
-
@coliver Sorry I took too long to edit my previous post, I included a link to a list of grand scale trains, perhaps what you're looking for can be found there.
PS lol, it does make me feel old, at model shops in that section everyone else has at least 20 years on me, or is a small child.

Not sure, my grandfather saw it on the news and wants to go this summer at some point. I will have to ask him next time I see him. I can't for the life of me remember the name.

My daughter (6) was literally jumping up and down today because her new math textbook arrived and she mad her mom promise to do math class today (they are doing it right now.) She loves her math class and this is her second textbook in the series. She loves math and learning.
