@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

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

@scottalanmiller You're such a tease

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

I've noticed that jeep owners sort of subtly wave at when passing each other on the road, have you experienced this?

Should stay secure? Should and will in this context make a whole lot of difference.

She may be a queen, but she's still paying you and if you run away I don't think there's anything she can do about it, surely not have you hunted down and recaptured.

Have you met the Minion Queen? If it wasn't so blase she would have us all in dog collars and leashes, just to keep us close to her ever changing whims.

I'd be careful, some people may be too into that for comfort

Sounds like an indentured servant to me....

Indentured servitude was a labor system whereby young people paid for their passage to the New World by working for an employer for a certain number of years. It was widely employed in the 18th century in the British colonies in North America and elsewhere. It was especially used as a way for poor youth in Britain and the German states to get passage to the American colonies. They would work for a fixed number of years, then be free to work on their own. The employer purchased the indenture from the sea captain who brought the youths over; he did so because he needed labour. Some worked as farmers or helpers for farm wives, some were apprenticed to craftsmen. Both sides were legally obligated to meet the terms, which were enforced by local American courts. Runaways were sought out and returned. About half of the white immigrants to the American colonies in the 17th and 18th centuries were indentured. During the late 17th and early 18th centuries poor children from England and France were kidnapped and sold into indentured labor in the Caribbean for a minimum of five years, but most times their contracts were bought and sold repeatedly and some laborers never attained their freedom.[1]

Lest we also forget all of the millions born into slavery, captured and sold as slaves, by default because of their skin colour alone. Up until recently slavery was a normal part of human life and culture, which is completely crazy in hindsight.

And I'd say that a couple of days of being "paid for your time and travel" is hardly even indentured servitude and really is only trivialising real servitude and slavery. When you're paid, you're not a slave. She may be a queen, but she's still paying you and if you run away I don't think there's anything she can do about it, surely not have you hunted down and recaptured. So doesn't sound anything like being an indentured servant to me....

You should offer a Personal Assistant reference if the person does well, could look good on some résumés for people into the PA thing.

We are so quick to point everything out as racism these days. Its really sad

I agree, it's just a really short sighted (stupid) move they did to block certain names. Racism implies intent.

If they keep doing it (and they are) then there's intent.

@scottalanmiller Thank you. Should have an eyeball or something, that'd be nice :X

xByte is a pretty cool name, kinda jealous on that one. The video is put together quite well, sells you very well.

It was hard to get out of bed this morning and drive to work.. In the negatives again today!

I'm not sure what this out of bed thing is, but I don't want to try it.

I don't know of nodeBB offers this function, I can't seem to find it, but is there a way I can stop receiving updates about a topic?

@Carnival-Boy Yeah chasing skirt is basically the only thing I enjoyed or did well in school, until college.

@Dashrender Oh hell yes. That's all I have to say about that.

@Minion-Queen Warning: Pizza in Russia comes with barbecue sauce unless you order it "American style", it's pretty gross.

One year real names on the Internet is something commercials told you not to do, Dateline scared the hell out of you about doing it, schools held little things for kids to not tell anyone their real names. Now, tell everyone literally every god damn thing about yourself.

@Dashrender We may have a rat burger situation like in Demolition Man.
